Long story short, a friend (guy I'm growing with) was talking to another friend's uncle. This guy used to grow and told of a story how with one plant, he put a dead stingray and a dead shovel nose shark under the plant. He then forgot about it and came back 5 months later to find the biggest plant he's ever grown. Had to give away a whole bunch of the harvest .etc It's most likely over an exaggerated story, but we have nothing to lose, so when planting 3 seedlings yesterday, each one got half a snapper and half a flat head buried under it (and a few prawn heads). I know little about what plants need, but I remember as a kid when my dad threw prawn heads all around his…

Gidday fellows Stoners, I have trouble finding information on Hydroponic Run to waste setup. I plan on doing a stealth grow in a working 370 Litre fridge. My biggest problem is I need to leave the setup on its own for 2 weeks at a time. Originally I wanted to setup a DWC recirc system with water chiller. However after reading more and more on the subject and from previous experience I believe the uneven uptake of Nutes verses water will cause big PH issues that I can't attend to and ultimately Nute deficiency's. I believe my only safe option is to use a Run to waste system. Here are my thoughts. I would like feedback thanks. I thought of running 2 pots 250mm…

Hey to everyone I have just changed nute brands as they were the only ones available. I usually use Nulife A + B and add canna PK-13-14 at week 5. The nutes I now have are Dutchmaster Advance, plus they recommend you add Dutchmaster Max. It seems from product description that it is a P & K additive that you put in every tank from start to finish. Does anyone know if you still add PK 13-14 at week 5 with this new stuff? I don't have the product in my hands yet, but the info on the product label was sketchy. Thanks to all aussie

Hi weedfolks! I have a little 3 plant scrog set up and i'm aiming to get the most of it, no matter what (i mean, doesnt matter ifs not organic) so i was studying biology on the internet and i remembered something about my days back in school, something about plant grow. So I remembered those natural growth hormones like giberellin and ocitocinin, wich is why the plants grow, chemicaly saying.. So this was only an introduction on my problem, now comes the issue: I've boutgh both products: ProGibb --> https://ozstoners.com/lofiversion/index.php/t238.html giberellin and Stoller's Stimulate --> http://www.stollerusa.com/productdetail?id=13623 giber…

Just wondering what the score is with single pak nutes? it seems all the major nute company have them but are they any good? or are they a wast of time, money and grow? I know most normal nutes are put in 2 packs to stop the compounds precipitating into salts if the 2 were put into one bottle, but some how they have worked a way around this it seems? Would like to hear your experiences with them if any or your thoughts on them. Syler420 out

Hey everyone When it comes to using silica, my usage is sporadic at best, and I am always changing the way I do things, so I can't be sure if silica actually does anything. Then recently a LHS told me it was a total waste of money and time and all it did was dissipate the nutes so it was a double waste of time and money, so I put it back on the shelf and went home without it. I have just finished a run, and to be honest, although covered in glitter, the mid to lower buds are not very tightly knit. I can't say for sure if it was the absence of silica or not. Do any of you guys have silica experience, or know what the advantages of using it are? I am wondering why t…
