Hey All Not a real good picture but wanted some feedback on setup and...for u to see how slabs sitting on tray. My question is about feeding; I have never used rockwool before and the slabs seem like a wet diaper although the drain seems good. I do have an elevation on the backside of table to promote better drainage, but alot of water seems to be slab and not draining. Due to my being careful, only watering twice a night, 1 second each. Appreciate the feedback!!!

Greetings all. I'll be very soon flowering a plant in a wardrobe thats been outside for a couple of months. Its showing signs of flower sites now. Its way too tall for a wardrobe or even a room frankly (already over a meter tall) but I'm going to tie it down and hope for the best, it is after all only a test .. Just wondering about feeding a plant flowering in soil. Its been so far living off blood and bone and a little seasol for a soil conditioner but I chucked some potash powder and a little more blood and bone as soon as I noticed the bud sites. I brought a bottle of hammerhead pk 9/18, hydro shop guy said it would be ok for soil and I was thinking of hand watering…

mahalo for the reply! the slabs on the bottom feel like a wet diaper and that's what i'm worried about. I have around 10 days to flowering, so I'm just adding a few seconds every feeding to let the slabs dry out abit. One night I had a problem with timer and too much water happened. My girls are looking great though. Excited with this new medum.

What type of nutrients do you use, how much are they, are they worth it and how much do you pay? I use Growrite (liquid A+ for veg and Budrite (liquid A+ for flowering. They are Australian made and they have a glossy picture of a bud on the label, I also use Add Bud during flowering: http://www.fasthydro.com.au/index.html check them out, at $20 they are cheap and good quality.

PK 13 -14? Hey all I normally use an A + B flower nute, Nefarious, Power Gro, Canna etc, then add PK 13-14 at week 4 for 7 days. Next time I want to try potash. This goes in every nute tank, is this right? Do I still use PK 13-14 at week 4. Appreciate your advice aussie1

okay so we have four babies, we've had them for about 2.5 days and they looked OKAY when we got them, a few leaves were curled and a little spotty. they're starting to look a little better but the tallest one (it was the most damaged) is still needing alot of attention, its growing a decent amount of little leaflings on the stem though...is it normal? ps this is our first time growing so we're really new at this and we pretty much go off of instructional videos from hightimes, 420, etc. pps we have been trimming it a little and i think we should just cut the leaf off but my boyfriend wants us to wait it out and see if it heals, which most of our plants have been doin…

Hi everyone. Ive got some Poison Dwarf on the grow atm (auto flowering strain), in a mixture of perlite, coco and soil. The reason for all three is apparently autos do better in soil but can be more proned to root rot hence the mix of perlite and coco. I read somewhere that flushing should be done at least once a week in soil to get rid of the salt build up. Should it be this often considering its an auto strain and only has about 2 weeks veg and 8 to 10 weeks flower? Im using about 40% soil, 50% coco and 10% perlite; special sauce and molassas mix for the first 2 weeks (special sauce is my home made fert concentrate using a Bokashi bucket - potant stuff at about 1:100!)…

hi all I came across this on WikiPedia: "In 1943, Johannes "The Moobze" van Overbeek discovered that coconut milk actively encourages plant growth. This was later discovered to be due to a number of factors, but predominantly the existence in the milk of a cytokinin known as zeatin.[4] The addition of 10% coconut milk to the substrate in which wheat is grown has shown substantial improvements in yield." I could not find much else on the web about adding coconut milk to your plants, except the fact that 10% - 15% milk (not the cream) should be used. Has anyone tried this?

Heya's Just wondering with tap water so full of chlorine, what should I be watering my plants? Is there an easy way to disperse the chlorine? Rain water is apparently the best but its not really an option. Filtered water any good? Cheers.
