Hi Im interested in an info on NFT and DWC, if you've done this or know how to set it up then pls post up. ATM I figure Two tents are a minimum, one to run a mum under CFL's or a 250-400 MH to harvest for clones, so a separate clone area would be good, Ive been looking at Turbo cloners. Then how to run them. ATM I guess... The clone area would be used to cut clones off a mature mum. One these have viable roots are they ready to flower? In a SOG NFT grow Im guessing the new clone wont need much time to 'veg' into its new area,and I guess that depends on how many pots you put in. I have a 1.4x1.4 area so an easy 1meterx1meter tube frame would fit in there. I've no idea how …

G'day everyone. If you're looking to increase your plant health, and ultimately you're harvest, read on and look no further than purifying the toxic source water our government -forces- upon us (at least those of us using town water). You will be surprised, and likely shocked after reading this. After a search here, the very few threads that even mention chlorine or more importantly chloramine seem to have some poor information in them so i'm here to clarify... I think that this topic is EXTREMELY underestimated and unfortunately most of you are not informed as to the impact this is having on your plants nor prepared to deal with it. First of all I want to give you al…

Hey guys, I have been doing some searching on the forums but havent been able to find any information about air/rocket pots - has anyone used them ? have had good experiences ? They seem like a good idea for getting more air into the medium and susposibly have much better root growth. Id like to buy some but do not don't want to buy them to find out that they are actually terrible. Here is the blurb from the airpot website: "Air-Pot containers get the best out of all plants because they develop a remarkable root system. And vigorous roots support healthy and prolific plants. Like many clever tools, it is actually very simple – the Air-Pot ‘air-prunes’ roots and this…

This is my first grow and I was wondering if this is ok for the plant in the early stages, the seeds popped and I have been putting it outside in direct sunlight during the day and bringing it in about 3 or 4 ish in the afternoon and putting it under led grow light for about 12hrs of an evening the plant is looking healthy and seems to like its outside time, this wouldn't stress the plant would it?

Hi guys I think I've found the right place to ask some questions, first time grower & first time forum poster. Hola amigos, I live in Perth. So 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. 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 have no idea what strain it is, only that it is female for sure. …

Allo All, I didn't think I would be asking this fairly simple question just yet - seems hotly debated too In discussion with my house mate - in an outdoor situation we would most likely trim these big sun leafs to allow light to the lower section of the plant. But being they are 3.5 weeks in veg from poping first water leafs in the seed tray - I am not so sure. Thoughts?

Afternoon everyone. As a new member to this forum I have been flicking through heaps of topics and threads and reading up on your successes and failures in growing and one thing I came across was planting 2 or more seeds to a pot. For the record, I have done this before but not in a pot. I used a plastic storage box (50 litre IIRC). drilled holes in the bottom, filled it full of soil and placed 5 seeds in there. 1 in the middle and 4 in each corner (Not right in the corners but you know what I mean). . . . . . All sprouted and grew and everything was fine as they were small plant but I am curious if anyone else has done this before and what their results were lik…

Righto. So attempt #2 after my first seedling died due to lack of oxygen and possibly too much light.. Im wondering for freshly planted seeds (germinated) what is the best environment for them to grow in? What is the best amount of light? How much water should they be given on a daily basis? What temperature and humidity % should they be in? If you look at the thread "am i doing it right?" you will see my little grow box. I've since added in an intake fan and circulation fan to give fresh air to the plants and am no longer sitting the pots as high as the one in the images, instead they are sitting on the bottom of the box. Any tips would be great! Cheers guys

Hey folks, new to the growing game here so feel free to flame or explain in simple terms . Back in February this year I ordered some auto seeds, all went well (cheers bonza) anyway I read up on a lot of things but originally they were destined for outside, (I was living in bowen at the time so plenty of humidity and warmth etc,) however I had to move back down sth and I had to repot so to speak, so the girls got bugger all sun for a while as I basically had to hide the bloody things, and by the time I got to settle in again I thought I would just put them under some energy saving bulbs, a Philips 24w spiral warm 1550lumes etc, and a smaller variety etc. in the last 2 week…

I tried putting some using autopots in an outside grow. I took two auto pots each with its own reservoirs found a sunny spot and left them to it. One of the autopots was placed into a high walled polystyrene container. This seemed to help alot. This plant was a lot healthier. To get the best results Id place the Rez into an insulated container as well as the autopot valve. The rez should be a light tight container. Having tested this out; Ill be trying this again sometime with some really choice mint.

Hey everyone, sorry if my posts are all over the place at the moment, im a bit confused with this forum, but you are all helpful im at 2 week stage since germination. I have 5 (i think indica, just seed that ive saved) that are ready to take out of the little 3lt pots and move to 10lt (it all the room i have and for stealth) they are under a 80w CFL 6500k over night in a stealth cupboard thing, around 27-29 degrees celcius and around 60% humidity, then outdoor in full sun for about 11hrs a day, so basically getting 24hrs light a day/night. 1. I have them planted in canna terra and will be repotting into the same medium in the 10lt pots. Everything will be hand …
