Hello, I have 15 clones in a aero kit, they've just rooted and are looking great. I only need to keep them going for another month until my current crop is finished. Should I be feeding the plants with nutrients? If so, should I just use my normal Canna Vega nutrient or try something else?? Thanks for the help.....again Cheers dwyndorf

Hi ppl, Done some bush growing b4 but finally got to the point where I had to give indoors a go. So there I am in a cupboard and I realise that I need to have something to drain the nutrients coming out of the pot, as the cupboard will soon rot. So I got a pot tray from K-Mart, but I can see this will just be a problem because the nutrient wont go anywhere and I will have to lift the plant up to drain it out. I am still at the seedling stage so lifting isn't a problem now, but what are the best drainage solutions for a cupboard?

Just a general enquiry, I have been looking at sog / scrog growing for a little while, and am rather intriuged at the yield / space that these kind of techniques utilize. I am yet to set up a hydro setup myself and would love to, however I have been told by a fellow grower / mate that I would be better off under the circumstances I am under to setup a one / two pot plant under light grow. This is a good idea as I am totally new, am yet to have my own house etc. I was just wondering however, could you use a couple of pot plants and train them to fill a screen? Or do non - hydro setups not have the speed of grow / ability to change nutes etc as fast to make a screen worthwh…

Any tried tested and true ideas when drying and curing your harvest? Something that will give it a better taste and maybe make it alittle more potent? or any thing else you guys know of? Cheers

I thought I might share this idea since we knew this guy who grew cannabis in his bin. Since he was renting, he was able to close the lid when anyone came over cos who would want to look in a bin. However the nosey neighbours caught him and he got evicted. Still I thought it was a pretty clever idea.

Hi all, Well it turns out northen australia is dry and it has finally given me enough incentive to start my first hydro set-up. YAY While I have quite a few grand to invest in this venture, getting a hold of some decent information and seeds are becoming a bit of a problem. Mostly I have smoked moderate grade bush, but have had a few recent gems and have kept the seeds from them. Then my firend tells me that I will need to have "Hydro" seeds, not just regular seeds So does this mean that my current seeds are useless for any sort of hydroponic propogration? Should I just start spreading these seeds through peoples garden beds and watch them grow? What do I need …

dont no if im doing this right but hope it all comes up ok. I've tried growing b4 with varying consequences so now im going for it proper with a decent set-up. I wont bore you with the details of my other stone age set up just with ideas for my new 1 first off im going indoors wiv this and i woz going to opt for scrog but with the space i have available i wondered if i woz better off going down a different/more productive route as scrog seems to be more for space saving. The dimentions i have to play wiv are 15ft x 15ft x 8.5ft high, not saying im building a grow to fill all of this just thats what i've got to play wiv. I dont really want more than 15 plants…

Hello, I've germinated some seeds using the paper towel method. I've now placed them into rockwool propagating blocks but when should I move them under lights? Also, I've heard that you should start seedlings off under a fluro and move to the 400w once a few sets of leaves can be seen, is this correct? Thanks
