I have been trying to germinate and grow SIX AK48 auto seeds for a couple of months now in the outskirts of Melbourne. I promise I'm not bashing them around, but 3 of them just went mushy in their seed pods after trying to get them to pop. The 3 others managed to pop but then failed to live beyond their first set of true leaves. - The first was put in a tiny felt pot of coir, after it had sprouted and got its first true leaves I gently touched it with my nail while inspecting it and it keeled over, causing a bend in the stem that it never recovered from. Here's a pic of it from maybe heat damage? I replanted it deeper and it's currently a tiny stunted thing with a…

Hi all. I thought it was time to start a thread to journal our progress now that we are getting up and growing again and have decided what we want to do with the girls we were gifted. They're all starting to bounce back after some neglect and transplantation into soil. All except one that is. We assume it was root rot as it was one of the plants originally in coco. Five of the seven were in coco. The two we got that were in soil didn't even bat an eye when they got put in the big pot they're all in now. The coco girls really did not like the change, but 80% survived. The one that died wasn't doing the best when she got transplanted anyway. I didn't hope much hopes for …

The Moon 1 2

I don't grow outdoors anymore but am interested if anyone plants according to the moon phase? When my partner and I grew outdoors 20 years ago, after a few seasons, we learnt that if you plant at the perfect time of month, it made a substantial difference to the health of the seedling. We used to buy a 'Moon Chart' every year to refer to but nowadays - Google. It wasn't a new idea at all. People have been using the moon in horticulture for centuries. My grandfather who was a farmer always planted according to the moon chart and harvested too, I believe. Any one have experience with this?

Hey guys, I found a good spot to grow some outdoor plants this year but the soil is so rocky it isn’t worth the effort of amending so I’ve decided to use fabric grow bags with a quality potting mix. I’ll be aiming to see them every two weeks or so and getting water and soil to the location isn’t an issue. I’ve got some blue dream and green crack seedlings in veg indoors that are about 6 inches tall that I’ll be putting out mid September. I have a question, what will give a higher yield 20 plants in 50-100 litre grow bags vs say 10 plants in 150-200 litre grow bags? Or what is the recommended pot size to make the most out of the Aussie growing season in my guerilla grow s…

(Known as Queensland) Just asking as I just wanted to see what my options would be in regards to growing so I don’t buy the wrong seeds and they end up with Mold or bud rot towards the end of flower thanks for the help

Im keen to try couple of plants in summer Melbourne in my backyard. Should I first give them few weeks indoor untill they are strong enough to go outside? When should I start germinating? Early September? I got my self warm farm couple of compost tumblers and bokashi bins. So far I mixed Worm castings compost and bokashi enriched soil together and left it sitting like that for a month now. Should I add perlite or vermiculite or some Coco in there as well? Would mix like that be too hot for young seedlings? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey all, Taking on my first grow in spring and I've decided to mix my own soil which I'll also use for our veg garden. My grow will be outdoors in VIC and most probably in plastic 15gal pots so I can move around the yard if needed. My grow will be 4 plants, one of each of the 4 all star Indica's by SSS; Lil Peep, Double Affie, Yorker & GG Allin My mix will consist of the following but I'm open to suggestions on how to enhance it. 30% chicken manure 20% Worm Castings 20% CANNA TERRA PRO 10% Coco coir 10% Perlite 5% Bat Guano 1 cup kelp meal 3 cup crab meal I'm trying to keep it simple for my first grow as I'm sure I'll learn plenty in this first 6 month p…

Hi, I'm seeking advice on my outdoor site preparation for spring 2019 I have access to a property, however for privacy reasons , the best grow location is on the side of a hill that faces north. Its a steep hill that gets full sun, so its very dry The soil there is very very heavy clay. In preparation for spring I have started manually digging 5 individual holes. Soil PH there is around 6.5. Each hole is roughly 1 metre x 1 metre across, but only about 1 foot deep, as digging any deeper ( at this stage) is backbreaking work. Ive applied liquid clay breaker in the holes about a month ago, but it hasnt really helped soften the clay. I have access to unlimited free bags…
