Gday, Does anyone know any good ideas for slowing growth for a particular branch? i've attached an amazing paint drawing to help illustrate what I mean Should the bottom set of branches just be pruned off as the sets above will always be shading it or is the a way to slow the upper branches so the bottom branches can make it clear out the side? Cheers ps. Id love to hear some peoples pruning methods for their plants. ie. Do you prune the branches to grow the same way every time like topping on the 4th set, taking off particular branches, the same amount of colas etc

Hi all I am not new to growing, however the need has arisen for me to get some medicinal plants growing fast. I have ordered some seeds with high CBD and low THC which I expect to arrive in a couple of weeks. I would like to explore all of my options as far as growing them as organically as possible, but I am willing to compromise on some things to reduce problems (such as pest problems, soil problems- bacteria etc) Are there organic nutrients available in a Part A Part B or complete nutrient? Similar to regular nutrients? I have read a few things on the net where people are adding this, adding that, and it all sounds complicated. I have read alot about worm castings.…

Hey guys Just wondering if I could get some thoughts. I just recently have been smoking some really mouthwatering outdoor from a good friend of mine. Im loving this bud soooo much right now. More a Sativa type high which is my fave. He prefers outdoor organic style growing where as I have only really got into the indoor at the moment. After buying a couple oz's at mates rates I know have a nice collection of some really well formed, pretty seeds as well as some he gave me of the same strain. I have popped 3 seeds and have some strong looking seedlings working on their 3rd nodes now just chilling in my veg box. My biggest question is should I continue these babies ind…

Hey all, I was looking for some advise on sexing plants. Mine are currently about 13cm tall and have 4 nodes. When will I be able to determine the sex of the plants? Would pictures be helpful at this stage or will I have to wait until the bloom phase to find out? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Hi all, I'm a newbie to this community reading and learning from all sorts of posts put up by you guys so I just wanna say Thanks in advance for all the info:) it awesome... I'm also attempting my second season at growing cannabis but first time at guerrilla growing...Anyway just a random question I'm hoping to get your thoughts on nothing major, I just wanted to introduce myself and somehow get involved with you all:) so here goes I think I may have over done it with rain crystals, probably about 350g to about 40lt of potting mix... Do you think I've done something bad? OneLove

A friend gave me this little plant from bag seed he had outdoors and it had started flowering really small. I threw it in the cabinet with my autos on constant 20/4 and she started re-veging. Should I trim off all the bud on the crown and just leave the new growth there? Would love to hear your opinions Cheers

Hi all, Doing my fist grow, I attempted a FIM some time ago but didn't work so now my week 2 flowering plant had a main cola and I was wondering if I've left it too late to attempt a LST of the main cola? The main cola is quite sturdy and I don't think could be bent too far over, do you think it's worth attempting a LST or should I play it same and leave the main cola as is? Thanks

Hi folks, Just after some advice, I have a p/chunk and 2x 8 ball kush (both fem seeds)on the go in a tent. Plan was to attempt to veg one of each strain big enough to take some cuttings but small enough to be managed in flower and finished ASAP. To my surprise the 8 ball seed had twins inside, and one of them is very tall and lanky and has pre flowers with hairs while the other is short, bushy and beautiful but only has the beginnings of pre flowers. The p/ chunk is growing at a similar rate to the short 8 ball but no pre flowers. All three have developed alternating nodes and have been tipped once. Now, will the clones grow exactly like their mums?(if so, I won't clone t…

The hippy husband saw a report on t.v about the banning of sunbeds. Reckons we should pick one up cheap at auction and raise the babies with that.

Hi Everyone, First I'd like to say hi to everyone here, this is my first post!! I have been thinking about having my own stuff at home rather than the late night dodgy deals that go on, and finally came to a conclusion that suits my needs. This below option seemed like a good one for noobs like me that are still trying to get their head around the whole indoor grow thing but still want speedy results so I got one - I have ordered a "Sungarden" indoor garden kit. It's basically a whole bunch of LEDs at the top and a shelf below for soil and another shelf below that for water, that uses a wicking technology... This means the lower tray is filled with water and th…

Ok...after years and years of growing outdoors, the rats of the sky have finally driven me to attempt our first grow indoors. After much studying of your very informative pages..I'm not.. informed that is. Brain must be more baked than I realized. So, can someone help me out with the lights we'll need for 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.0 m grow room. Husband hippy thinks that 2 x 80 watt CFL's will do the trick. Any suggestions?

Hi I'm just finishing my first grow/harvest of 4 plants. For regular watchers to my space, my drying dilemma would be described best as 'ordinary'. And to top that off, the jars I bought from Crazy's aren't even airtight! I found this out when I rinsed them out, filled with water, activated the seal, turned upside down, and watched the water trickle from my wrist, down my arm...!! Where is the honor in Cheap Retailers these days...?! Anyway, my reason for taking up this space is, as stated previously, I'm just finishing my first grow/harvest of 4 plants. My concern is that there were so many branches/arms of the plants that didn't reach full potential in my 1m x 1m Gr…
