Greetings All... Has anyone done any experiments with using different grow mediums for different plants during the same grow (or even different grows) and found that one medium is particularly better than another? I guess this is a subjective topic as different mediums could all produce good results for different people. Just wondering.

Webster's Dictionary Definition of Hydroponics: Adj. Hydroponics - the growing of plants in nutrient solutions with or without an inert medium to provide mechanical support. If hydroponics by definition uses an inert (inorganic) media can Coco peat (organic) be counted as a type of soil in a run to waste system? If so how would the law see it if you are in front of a magistrate charged with cultivation of your paltry 1 or 2 plants in states like WA? Is this a possible loophole or has the government covered this angle already?

G'day folks I've been growing in a Hypergrow chamber (see Hypergrow) Been using the pumice they supplied but want to change it to something else - perlite maybe? What do you reckon? I want something easy to work with and not needing too much ongoing maintenance. I've reused the pumice once but it's a pain to clean for reuse. Perlite could be just replaced after each grow? Pros/cons of perlite? Alternatives to it? Ï'm using PowerGro nutes if this makes any difference. So it's a pretty basic setup but is going ok cos I don't have much time to fuss over it. Thanks for your advice

The instructions say to use it once about four weeks before harvest, but I have read that some use it continiously until flush after about 3 weeks into flower. also, I'm much more concerned with quality than yield and some say while bud additives add to yield they detract from potency. comments from anyone who has used PK13-14 appreciated...

:: For great outdoor growth rates, I've always had great success with this. When the plants are established out the back, take a bucket of kitchen compost and make a pile near the plant(s), like a mini compost heap. Cover with straw or lawn clippings. The plants receive extra local CO2 from the decomposition, exrta nutrient and some acididity, which they love. Happy growing!

Hi all, I'm going out tomorrow with $50 to get some stuff for my soil. I was thinking along the lines of mushroom compost or potting mix. Please give me some suggestions on what I should get. My soil is a rich black loamy soil, it has lots of brackern ferns in it so I'm not sure if it is acidic or not. Your suggestions will be much appreciated. Peace out, Marty

what the hell's a g.f? g.f stands for guinea fowl. a guinea fowl is a bird about the size of a chook and looks a bit like a vulture. there main diet is bugs. apparantly 90% but i don't know about that. i often see them having a pick at the grass seeds. at night they roost in an old tree about 100 metres away from the house. theirshit(i think guano is a much prettier word)obviously falls to the ground below. i thought i might give this g.f soil a go. i figured if it didn't burn the ass out of them that it might be a good medium. so i thought i might do a complex scientific experiment, i made a mix of 50/50 soil and g.f soil. i used it when i repotted seedlings at …
