hey guys, this year will be my first grow ever! i live in Melbourne and the weather still hasnt seemed to pickup like i thought it would, but i germinated my seedlings about 3 weeks ago in jiffy pots and all three of them sprouted. i found my seeds in my buds so im not expecting any flash yields or wonders, i just wanna grasp the basics so i can eventually get nicer grows over the years. I have many questions and all answers are greatly appreciated! It seems my plants are growing rather slowly (ill have pics up soon) and also as if insects may have gotten to them? ive been putting them outside in the morning and back inside by late afternoon As i will be moving my grow…

Hi all, I'm pretty new to this and have been reading up on a few things and searching through the site. Mostly finding guides on hydro set ups. I'm Perth based and want to start up a couple of plants outdoors. Looking at getting some beans from bonza. From what I understand, this time of year and my limited knowledge it may be best to use autos? (please correct me if I am wrong). I was thinking of trying a few different strains, but mainly white widow as I have heard it is quite hardy. Can anyone suggest, or point me in the direction of a good effective and cheap soil mix I can buy or make up? If anyone has any tutorials or can point me in the direction, I pretty …

Hi All Looking forward to my second ever grow. I successfully grew a nice Trainwreck last summer in my back yard. Was an awesome feeling to finally smoke it! Have everyone on this forum to thank for the end result. This year I want to try Bubblefuck but they only come in regular seeds. As I don't have an indoor set up I am trying to think of a way to determine sex as early as possible. Do you think putting a bin or something over them to force flowering is a good idea? My only other plan is to try and get a couple of clones and force them to flower. I just don't want to end up with too many plants at one time. I'm a respectable family man Cheers

hey guys. last season i did my first grow, which was out door. now i have over 5000 acres of land (huge farm/outback), so space was no issue. how ever being new to growing i just got random seeds off friends, which were apparently high yielding plants. i cared for them, and followed some online guides for feeding them and nutrients.. but after they were ready the yield was minimal, and my other friend who grew the same seeds got the same results. however it was strong solid bud, i just think i have the space for massive plants why not? So after that im doing my next grow now/ ASAP, but i would like to order some seeds this time, for optimal output. so i would like some …

So guys this will be my 2nd plant ever I'll be planting, my last one didn't turn out so well. I have to hide the fact I'll be growing a plant due to living at home with parents, in their eyes marijuana is a drug and something that has a negative impact on a person. The last plant was mowed over due to it being in my backyard. I tried to hide it we'll but needed to keep in mind it had to be a sunny spot, it sprouted well and was looking good for a week or so and discoloured. This time I am planning on putting it into a little pot plant after germinating the seed and leave it in a sunny spot for a week or so, I'm assuming all I'll need to do is keep it watered and in s…

so plastic pots are expensive apparently /: hmm so the bigger the pot the more expensive the smaller the less you pay would 12ltr an 20 ltr pots support good growth and yield?

I live in a windy dustbowl and have a few outdoors on the go. Beginning to wonder what I might do to prevent dust getting into the buds on days when it really blows. I imagine it would stick to the buds and be hard to wash off with a watering can! Anyone got any tips to counter the windy element?

Hi. I'm new to the forums and canberra. I'm coming from Texas and I've never attempted an outdoor grow. Since I live in Canberra I've decided to try it out. Plus it's cheaper than paying for 200+watts of electric for 3 months. I want to attempt to make a subcool's supersoil technique. I never really liked adding 7 different nutes for veg and then 7 more for flowering. I rather just make the supersoil and just add water. I was wondering if anyone can help me choose a good organic soil close to Fox farm's ocean soil or Roots organics Soil. Also if you have any suggestions on seeds. Thanks!

Hey guys I'm still pretty new to the hobby and I'm loving learning all about it as I go, I have 2 seedlings going at the moment all is going well so far! I just have a question that might seem dumb.. Forgive me if it is as I said new to the hobby, just wondering how a hydro seed would go in a pot outside ?? Im assuming not too well considering the strand would be used to alot more light but just wondering if anyone's tried it at all or is it just stupid to try at all?

Hi Guys, Ive just recently started my first grow op outdoors. They're 6 days old and going strong. I just started reading up on force flowering but all the info I could find is from the norhern hemisphere which makes it so complicated with the seasons of the year. Wondering if anyone can tell me how much light I should give them for force flowering and how old should they be when I do it? Thanks heaps:)
