hey folks.. as mentioned im setting up a system similar to sukonmiskunks recirc system in perlite.. i am wondering when i top up my resi daily, should i be adding straight tap water ? or should i have an EXTRA resi setup, with a heap of fresh water with an extra airpump in it ? that way i can top up the resi frm the grow rooms with this additional PH adjusted resi ?? should i adjust the ph of this 3rd resi ? also, the local hydro chick says for my recirc system i should run nutes for 6 days, and straight water for 1 day. So flushing the system once a week to remove excess build up of nute salt ?? i thought this was only done once or twice throughout the grow ? …

allrite, well everytime i seem to take cutting, the leaves seem to go yellow and die off. between 20-50% of the growth dies before they shoot roots. After they shoot roots the clones pickup with 7 days and are helathy again. But at this stage all the clones are at an uneven rate of growth. i am trying a SEA OF GREEN style grow in my new rooms. So all clones need to have healthy even consistent growth. Therefor i need to set all the paramaters correct. Spending the money isnt an issue - as long as the end product is beautiful clones. i am using a 130CFL big globe about 40cm away from clones in small humidi crib with heat mat. clones in rockwool, use clone-x gel and s…

g'day, im kind of wondering.. thease new digital power meters for homes - are they intended to bust dope growers, or more so people cant steal power ?? Does this mean your power reading is transmitted to the electricity company instead of a bloke coming round to check your power box ?? cheers

HI Guys Been feeding two plants nothing but water the past 6 days and getting ready to harvest. This will be my first harvest and dry, so all help appreciated. These are the steps i'll be taking and questions I have 1) Put plants in complete darkness for 24 hours before harvesting. Is this necessary? 2) Pull out plants, cut at base, just above soil and then trim off all leaves. 3) Run safety pin through base stem and use that to suspect the plants upside down 4) Put them in a dark well ventilated area. Does it matter if a little bit of daylight seeps through or does it have to be complete darkness? 5) Leave to dry for 4-5 days, then cure if they're sufficie…

Hey guys My mate started this on the 1st of feb, started vegging on the 14th, and had been growing since. http://i46.tinypic.com/mwun11.jpg 600W HPS Coco coir (washed) Canna Vegga A & B nutrients No ph, PPM meter Temps probably too high (30 on top, 25 top of coco) Not "enclosed" space. 3 Fans going(without which it would be a sauna). He topped it way to early, which he now knows stunts vertical growth very badly. http://i39.tinypic.com/15gunex.jpg Being frustrated by losing some little ones and still not knowing if its female, he decided to top it again, and let it grow... http://i43.tinypic.com/2u598ns.jpg http://i40.tinypic.com/68yc13.jpg You can see by earler…

Hi all This is a bit of a funny story about a poor abused plant that has been messed around, but somehow seems to be soldiering on and looks like it might be starting to flower. The background is that I grew six plants and this particular one was male. Well I thought it was male. After all the others grew white hairs..etc.. this one seemed to have no hairs and kinda mini sac things growing where it branched off. So I separated it from the rest. From there, I did not care if it lived or died so i put it next to my bed. It's growth stopped. then I forgot to feed it, used to give it a little drink from the left over glass of water on my bed side table. Sometimes I for…

Hey guys, i'm ordering some seeds and will be paying by mail, but after i had a look on the Australia Post website, i found that i am apparantly not allowed to send bank notes, at least to this particular country (England). The only other option i found was a western union money transfer, and im not sure if the seedbank im looking at will accept that (the seedbank is gypsy nirvana seed boutique) So i just wanted to ask how i am supposed to get my money to them, and if anyone knows if this seedbank accepts western union transfers?

Hi, I used to think weed grew everywhere (unless stomped on, eaten or stolen..) but after a look at some posts I'm totally overwhelmed!! I have read around but just a few quick questions: 1. Can I plant a seed in a pot and move it around like Leon the Professional when the need arises? 2. I live in a rental house, I was thinking of putting the pot plant in my wheelie bin when inspection time comes. How realistic is this? 3. If I have it indoors, can any bugs/diseases kill it? 4. How long does it take from seed to first smoke, on average? 5. How complicated is hydro, in it's simplest form, ie for one or two plants? How much can I expect to spend? 6. How many harvested …

Just a query, if your growing outdoors in a remote location that is not covered by trees and its nice and open with lots of sun and you have a few plants of decent size, should you be paranoid about choppers seeing them? Im not talking just christmas trees in a barren field but you know like amongst smaller sized plants. Do cops even do stuff like they do in the States? Another question, if you had holes filled with good soil in the ground would it be a bad idea just to throw some of the old soil, which is predominately average soil of a lighter colour over the top just to blend it in with the ground around it or does that some how effect like water drainage and sun to th…
