Hi, guys, first-time poster here. I am brand new to growing marijuana and was wondering if I could get a little advice on nutrient schedules and what people are doing. I am located in Melbourne and will be growing a White Widow and an AK 47, one of each plant. Both seeds are feminized and I will be growing them outside. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all!

Hi all!! I've gotten some great advice for feminized seeds that I want to plant outside but I have a whole bunch of autos that I want to play with too. I know they don't get too big and they do best not being transplanted but other than that, I don't really know how to care for these fast growers... Can someone provide me with a link or two if it's ok? And I've seen people say that as they autoflower and aren't light dependant, how would they go being planted in winter? Cheers!!

Hi All, I thought Id share what seems to be building up to a successful grow. Early in the season I was losing the battle to a bunch of F#$%ing greedy little wallaroos. Those bastards never even thanked nor shared with me. I'm not sure whether this had been done before but to outwit the wallaroos I came up with the idea of hanging Aldi bags at a level that the wallaroos could not get to. So far I have had no issues thus I`d thought I`d spread the love in case anyone else would like to try. The attached picture is a Zambeza seeds Big Bud XXL auto in a soli filled Aldi bag tied to a tree and fed Chron`s Super Sauce at week 8 (4 weeks to go). I have liked this me…

How much light? 1 2

Hi everyone. Well, I've since found out that you can use a fluoro light to help your sprouts to get growing before moving them outside but how many hours a day should the light be on them? I would have thought 24hrs would be too much because when they go out into natural light, they won't get that amount and maybe try to flower, as tiny and immature as they are. I'm also considering once they germinate, putting them into seedling pots in a plastic propagator and letting them enjoy filtered natural light and light cycle. (Half my yard is under cover so they won't get to hot or dry out) and then toughening them up gradually before planting them properly outdoors. What are…

Ok, no I haven't popped them yet but I can't find an answer to this. Once I get the seeds to open and then use the damp paper towel method to get the tap root to start growing, I'll put my seeds into a cup or small pot. But when do I start introducing them to light - natural light? I've read three books today, watched YouTube videos and I can't even find an answer from Jorge Cervantes... Everyone assumes that I've got an HID light to put them under for a couple of weeks. I don't. Can I put them on the window sill so they get light but not direct light? I think Jorge said you can use a fluoro light to help stimulate growth and I'll be putting a heat pad under them to help…

Hi folks!! As this year will be my first outdoor (like I've said in every other thread that I've started) and I'm genuinely curious as to how many people really keep tabs on their soil's pH... I'm thinking about doing it but as this is my first time outside, I don't want to overwhelm myself too much. If the general consensus is yes, check it, then how do you know how much epsom salts etc do you use and how do you do it? Is it as simple as sprinkling on the topsoil and watering in? How long will it take to change the pH? How often should you test? Sorry everyone but I don't have anywhere/anyone else to ask. Cheers in advance. T.T.

My girl and I have recently migrated to Melbourne and have found ourselves in a pickle. This pickle being the fact that we are both relatively big smokers, but no longer have the money nor connections to realistically sort ourselves for the years ahead. This has led me to make a big decision and therefore prepare myself do something that I have dreamt of for almost a decade now – I’m/we’re going to do a Gorilla Grow. That being said, we need your help. Considering another dilemma of ours is the fact that we will struggle to make regular visits to a patch, I aspire to make this grow self-sustainable. The way I aim to do this is by finding a suitable patch within reas…

Hi Everyone, Wow. My head is spinning and I'm very overwhelmed after spending hours on and off the past few nights reading different posts on this forum. I have never grown anything in the garden. Period. Let allow trying to grow some pot. The last time I smoked was a year and a half ago when I went to Europe. Amsterdam of course. I miss smoking and getting tired of cigarettes and not a big drinker so miss the days where I had the occasional puff. Ok. So I have no idea what I am doing but here is what I am after. Your advice and experience is golden so any help I would appreciate it heaps. Warning. I have asked for heaps of questions, hence the patients part in…

I germinated some seeds a few months ago from some bud I had, haven't really done anything special to it apart from buy a small outdoor greenhouse 6 weeks ago, watering it every so often, I actually expected it to have died by now. Considering it looks like I'm actually going to get something off it (will use for cooking) I'm wondering if I should be doing anything else (have used fertiliser once recently) to increase yield or quality.

Hi again!! Yep, another newbie question from T!CTAC... Obviously outdoor needs sunlight but how much needs to be DIRECT? I would imagine as much as possible, but what if you can only get say, from 9am til 4pm or maybe even 5pm? How much of a difference will that potentially make? I have a particular spot put aside for as much direct light as I can get but wifey is concerned about when we have people over (valid concern obviously). All thoughts are greatly appreciated. Cheers, All :-)

Hi everybody, I think I've found the right place to ask some questions, first time grower & first time forum poster. Sweet to have found an Oz Growing community, so thank you Hola amigos, I live in Perth. I'll give you a little background info. My friend had 20 plants he went down south and they all pretty much died except for two. I've been growing plants and veges for a few years and as a bit of an experiment I thought I might be able to resurrect some growth in them. So the research train began and I'm pretty stoked to say she looks healthy now. One was a male so I dug him up and threw him out before he had a chance to jizz loads all over the female. I …

Hey guys new here, Not sure if anybody has posted about this. Anyway last year I did an outdoor grow and thought I'd try the urea as my nitrogen source Ended up chucking a 4kg bag to roughly 1 - 2 tons of soil. Had it sitting for around 3 months the soil legit smelt like diesel or something. Also had mushroom compost, organic soil, blood & bone. Coco. Perlite I thought this soil would of killed my baby's. Obviously was wrong the plant was a monster 3 pounder did a shit load of tying down also anybody else had a success like this or did I just get super lucky haha.
