After some crap luck with growing autoflowers I cracked two photo beans 6 weeks ago. Had a problem with the recommended dose of Powerfeed giving them nitrogen toxicity, thought I was going to lose them, but they've bounced right back after a flush and just being left alone. Had to defol a few leaves that weren't going to recover. They were both topped a few days ago. Haven't had much sun for a few days, but they've had a good drink from the rain. Noticed yesterday that roots are poking out the bottom of the pots. They were only transplanted 2 weeks ago. Will the roots just air prune and then go fill out the rest of the pot or should I put them into something bigger this w…

For any newbies out there wondering if the soil is an important factor... Grew the one with the splint on it in a mix of perlite/Richgro soil/Richgro compost. I grew a few years ago then took a long break, came back to it at a shit time and ended up cheaping out. The saying you grow in siht, you'll grow siht is really true. Feel like a dcik for wasting seeds on this. When I got sorted again and moved house, I decided to pop a seed I had left over and this time used 1 part perlite/1 part peat moss/1 part mushroom compost/1 part potting mix that was fluffy and not loaded with bark like the Richgro. The seedling was germinated in a jiffy pellet before being put into the cu…

Hi Growers, I've decided it's time to get into preparing my victory garden. The garden has been derelict for a couple of years as my time was taken up surviving lung cancer and caring for my geriatric pooch with breast cancer. The pooch has passed on now and I need to develop a new focus or fall into a heap on the floor from despair. So, I went seed shopping and bought a few things I have always wanted to grow. Linum Usitatissimum (flax) for both the seed and the fibre... I doubt I'll be weaving linen, but there is a rigid heddle loom in the 'supply' room if I get the urge. Twin purpose, flaxseed for the diet and stalks for paper making... I do like to paint on h…

Saw a similar thread when I was perusing a deserted gardening forum. I can't find any decent sort of forums for general gardening and thought it would be cool to see what everyone is planting out through the seasons?

And getting hotter. Smells pretty good. A bunch of hard work in those photos. Chipped/shredded garden waste, mostly poinciana mixed in with a couple hundred kilos manure. Predominantly horse mixed in with duck, chicken and alpaca. The plan is to to help my canna plants throughout their grow with particular interest in attracting Trichogramma , ladybugs, mantis etc. Anyone else doing this sort of stuff? Which plants / flowers are you using? Has it made a noticeable difference, or is it just a matter of finding canna plants with great genetics?

Hey folks! I don't often frequent the vegge gardening section of the forum (despite my love of vegetables) but I have a recurring problem and I can't understand why I have absolutely no problems when growing cannabis but whenever I take cuttings of other plants, they all end up dying! The missus and I went on a little adventure yesterday, visiting all of the local community gardens and local food forests in order to acquire some cuttings. The cuttings we took were all at least 10-15cm long, all seemed to be healthy and none of them wilted or became sick after being removed from their mother plants. Now unfortunately we did get sidetracked before potting them up at…

Hi guys, First time grower and poster, was just wanting some help. My plants have been in a tent for a while now but due to needing to move, I have had to put them back outside where I am currently staying. I think this move has either shocked them or there is a male nearby but I came out this morning to one of my plants looking like this...has it turned male??? Please help!!

So, my dumb arse ended up getting too high and had to go to hospital lmao. Ah well, shit happens. Ended up having some of my plants pulled and destroyed. Was shattered... until I dug a bit and found them. Now, I'm gonna try to see what happens. These are the ones I found without going for a big dig into my fabric pots. Got a lot of shit to do today. Digging veggie patches and what not. Made a little garden in the kiddos sandpit corners yesterday. Full of succulents. Looks mad. Just call me Mother Nature, mate [emoji6] Will update this thread with progress. Also, I'll be fucked if I know what strains they are. I had a decent mix of shit. Some auto, some feminized. I…

Got 3 mixed auto fem beans from Yantra, as well as other strains I picked. Have stunted it through overwatering, transplanting, blah blah blah, common noob stuff that I promise I'm outgrowing. Anyway, when I was putting the seedling forest under the lights last night, I noticed that one of my mystery autos has got herself preflowering. she's so tiny and ridiculous. Wonder what strain it is to be kicking off so soon... Blue Cush, maybe? Just gave me a bit of a laugh. Kids, this is why you don't mess around with overwatering and transplanting with autos [emoji23]

Here's my chick. Got given her by a mate of a mate back in late Feb. She was a bit of a unit-looking thing and it has taken a bit of nursing to get her back to looking half decent. Wondering how long you more experienced champs reckon I've got until finish. Still waiting on my loupe [emoji19] Cheers guys!

Got myself a nice delivery a couple days ago of a Blue Cush Auto and a Green Crack Auto. Blue Cush interested me because of the fast growing period, Green Crack was just a cool name with some pretty awesome benefits to it to tailor to me for a daytime smoke that will kick my arse into gear instead of just medicating with indica dominants of a night time to put me to sleep. Chucked them into shot glasses the day I got them to start the germination process and see if they were good seeds or not. They both floated. Gently gave them a little push a few hours later and they sunk straight up. Left them there overnight and planted them into an equal part mix of perlite/peat mo…

After doing a tonne of research to try and answer this qu for myself, I know how many times this has been asked. My problem is that I'm getting conflicting info. Some say you can't overwater a well-drained potted plant, some say you can. Some say leave it a few days between watering, some say water every day and then every 4-5 days don't water for 24 hours. I'm slowly getting my head around it by just watching and learning from my little seedlings and my rehab project plant that I adopted a month ago. I've gathered by not watering constantly, the roots grow, searching for water which in turn means more growth above the soil because the root system is bigger. Figuring ther…

So, I was gifted a girl about a week and a half ago. Came from someone I don't know at all and was given by a close family member of mine, who is friends of the original grower. When she was picked up, the pot was light as hell and she looked a bit fried. Have great sun exposure here and I've just been giving her water as she needs it and a feed of half strength seasol every week. I think she looks a lot better, personally. The soil she's in looks pretty shit house, but I'm thinking a transplant is risky? Any hints or tips to get her right on track? Pre-flowering seems to be starting up? Help a newb out, guys? Thank you!
