One of my friends grows weed, and he does it in a really unusual way. What he does is starts his plants off as hydro and then as they get older he moves them outside. Now i've asked some people about this and they said the plant would freak out and die. But the opposite seems to happen the plant doesn't really grow for the first week or two but after that it grows fine and the bud are very big and potent. Also on all the seed banks online it either says indoor outdoor or greenhouse, would that really matter, would you be able to get a White Widow (or any other indoor plant) and grow it outside?

Hey Guy's I'm new here, have been checking the forums looking for a good Online Supplier for the hydro. Have been burnt by the Urban fuckin Gardner, don't like what I hear about Aussieponics. So who can supply the goods at a reasonable price? I see Glandore Hydroponics advertises on this Website, has anyone had troubles there. Or Newagehydro, they seem to have some good deals. Any help would great. Cheer's Filfy.

Howdy folks I probably sound like a right newbie...( which is what I am ) I have a general question about flowering time. I turned my girls over to 12/12 on the 1st of december. They are two totally different plants..one tall and leggy..the other short and bushy as. (i broke all her arms while she was small, and just tipped the tall one to see the effect on both). The big leggy looks like they are coming along nicely... the short one is catching up now I managed to get it closer to the light. They're on an auto pot system.. both had identical feeding. Looks to me like one will be ready wayyyy before the other. What is the average flowering time for hydro? I know it…

I always assumed that rain water was more pure and better for plants. But I read somewhere that using town water from the tap is better than using untreated rain water for hydroponics. Their argument was that the chlorine and additives helped kill bacteria/germs that can harm the plants. And that rain water is missing certain natural minerals because its been evaporated (like distilled water). My tap water is around PH 7.7-8 and EC 300-400 My Rain water is PH 7 and EC 20 - 30

Hey guys and gals, been doing a lot of reading on the forum and ebooks but one thing has got me confused. What is the best system for growing medium to large plants? By what i have read it seems that the drip/flow recovery kind of set up is the way, am i right? most of those systems use rock-wool I don't like the idea of rock-wool due to its disposal factor and it cannot be reused. is there any benefit to using rock-wool over say expanded clay or gravel/perlite mix? So far my plan is to build a small table onto witch 2 nelly tubs will sit, below the table will sit the resivour both top nelly tubs will be connected together in between via a T connector and drain into the r…

I was getting some stuff from Bunnings today and I wasn't able to locate any water pumps (except ones for ponds) and I didn't see any clay balls or rockwool. Do I need to go elsewhere to find these things?

So I've been planning a small cupboard hydro setup and was checking out plastic tubs at the local hardware store for the reservoir and satelites. I'm looking at big rectangular black plastic tubs. Embossed on the bottom it said, "NOT FOR FOOD". So I was wondering if this is somehow unsafe? Also, on a hydro site where they are selling pots they say, "Beware recycled plastic pots that are cheap and can really damage your pH and nutrients, as well as introduce other toxins like lead, arsenic and other compounds into your nutrient. We sell plastic that is safe for Hydroponics." So, are these tubs at the hardware store ok to use? Or should I be looking for something s…
