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 …

My clay balls are in the oven to bake for 15 mins and I was wondering if it was OK to do the same to my perlite? I gave them a good wash a few hours ago and now I need to dry them out [not enough sun in the plan].

Being new to the hydro scene im in some need of some advice. I have a bag of coco mix and was wondering if u could use this in a bubbler system. Ie if the bottom of the pot was filled with geolite or vermiculite would this help. Im thinking coco will clog up the pump maybe even with geolite placed in the bottom of the pot? once again im only hypothesizing can coco be used in a bubbler system or what medium is recomended for this system Cheers

I went to the garden center yesterday and I bought a 5kg bag of dynamic lifter, a 10kg bag of blood and bone and 4 25lt bags of potting mix. The potting mix was a bit expensive at $5.90 a bag, but it was really good quality stuff. I've got some big straw bales at home and some sheep shit that have been sitting around for about 2 years now and I was thinking that I could mix them together in the compost tumbler. What do you guys think? In what way should I use this stuff? Thanks, Marty

I'm just about to get my first ever crop started. Because this is my first year I haven't thought to get compost ready before hand. However, I've got plenty of horse manure (fresh) to put in the soil. I'll be planting near a river, and the soil is pretty loamy, because it's mainly broken down plants from the river's edge. Is this good soil to be planting in? Would you recommend that I put some potting mix, dynamic lifter, etc into the soil?

I can't seem to locate in Perth yet, the Canna Tera Vega, and Flore. I keep reading about it, but the couple of retailers I've tried don't have it. Have any Perthites seen it around? Info much appreciated.

just i quick question about cannazyme. im not sure how it works but as its been explained to me ; the enzymes from the cannazyme eat the dead plant material and other such nasties. well it seems to work well. But each time u dump ur res u dump the cannazyme. if u are using bubblers this becomes quite expensive. i know 1 alternative may be not to change my nutes. altenatively i was wandering if there is any way that the enzymes from the canazyme could be farmed in any way. i e putting the cannazyme in a bucket and giving material to feed on then adding some of this to the res periodically.

Greetings fellow Ozstonerz, Almost ready for my first indoor grow after spending a season or two outdoors. Obviously playing mother nature this time around is going to require a little more effort and one thing I want to remove the guesswork from is feeding my ladies. After doing a bit of reading through some of the older threads it appears that there is a consensus that the "truncheon" is the bees knees when it comes to nute meters. I was interested to hear what fellow growers are using and hear about the pro's & con's WRT different types of nute metering equipment. I've pretty much decided I'll get me a truncheon but don't know anyone whose got one so I…
