My little shrubbery is growing in the garden on the north wall of a house in Sydney, AU. I've been trimming it to have a short but broad plant, basically 1*1*1m. Much higher and the neighbors will be jumping the fence :-) Many weeks ago I noticed buds on the lower branches but so far not much happening on top. Am I causing this by trimming? I also have a problem with a nearby streetlight. BTW: the apparent colour in the 'tops' pic is due to the camera (phone), though the new growth is lighter in colour than can be seen in the 'lower branch' it is not as much as the pic indicates. Comment? TIA BaronS

Just starting to get into growing here, but I'm still unsure about exactly what type of potting mix/soil to look for. I live in Perth, Western Australia and i was wondering if any other growers in WA could recommend some tried and proven potting mixes. The ones i've been able to find in K-mart all seem to have timed released ferts which has been causing problems with my first set of plants that I experimented with. I was thinking of going down to Bunnings and checking there, but there'll be an even bigger variety there and I'm still unsure what type of potting mix I should be looking for here in Australia.Would lov e to be able to just go into a store and get the rig…

Hi guys. What a wonderful resource this is site. Have been meaning to join for a while, and I am glad that this query on my mind has prompted me to. Have been growing a while both indoor and about but am attempting something I have never tried...... I have an unknown indica dominant strain grown from seed. Vegged indoors for 8 weeks and placed outdoors on June 29th under a upturned aquarium (elevated off the ground about 20cm). I am certain the plant is female and has started flowering (not positive though, as this strain pre-flowers heavely). Growth in the week and a bit has been good in the micro-climate despite the night time low's dropping to a few degrees. I…

Hi, I don't know if someone has posted about this before. I'm new at growing, and I have two plants. Both of them have gotten white spots on them, and one of the plants' bottom leaves have been turning a very pale green, almost white and then start to get brown at the tips. I don't know what this is or how to treat it. Does anyone know what to do Thanks!

Hi all, Thought I'd drop by and show you the progress of my baby. I had a difficult start to the season and lost several of my plants to rippers. Such are the joys of outdoor growing in urban areas... This is the lone survivor as she stood on in late November. This is she stands now. Cheers

I have 5 plants growing outside. theyr all about roughly 8 inches. i transplanted them 4 days ago and they were all fine up until today. on 2 of them the leaves are sagging and on most of them it looks like a few leaves are rotting away or eaten or have spots on them. the thing that confuses me is that theyve gotten taller and the stems got thicker so im not sure exactly what is wrong but please someone help before its too late!
