I just ordered a 5 pack of Barney's new Tangerine Dream from attitude with the guaranteed shipping method, large t-shirt.
Freebies were Kandy Kush and Afrodite, get your orders in while it's still in stock if your interested
edit: for those who dont know Tangerine Dream is the 2010 Cannabis Cup winner.

Unfortunately (or fortunately) I have too many strains of seeds to grow already - I was VERY tempted.
I buy from Seedsman.com and they haven't advertised that they have the seeds yet, although I did go as far as sending them an email asking about Tangerine Dream, I doubt that I will rush into buying any ... yet.

hey guys i usually get my coco from the hydro should i buy the nf 5kilo bricks which make about 50litres. i checked out cocopeat.com.au they have 5kg blocks there i spoke to a rep and i can get them for $3.60 a block, compared to $18 a block from the hydro shop. do u think the other coco is a less quality product i got a sample for free from the owner and he grows tomatoes in them, he also quoted me $55 for 25kilos of nuterients which sounds so cheap to me, but i guess the cheap nutes are out there caz ive always thought neutes are so expensive how do normal farmers make there $$$

its allways going to be cheaper online directly from the seller , i wouldnt think it would be much less quality.and yeah nowadays every hydro store is selling there own brand nutrients for a fraction of the price.

edit- i buy my coco from bunnings lol

 

[smallclosetgrowr]

my seeds i had sowed in the green house got all leggy on me reaching for the sun , as soon as i put them outside the wind just knocked them straight over.anyone got any ideas? i could stake them with a match stick but it i want them to harden up.they seem to do okay once there a decent size in the greenhouse tho.

 

[Grumpy Old Dreamer]

Plant them in a larger pot and bury the elongated stem, roots will grow from the buried stem.

@steve: Thanks dude, in the end i went for http://www.growthtechnology.com.au/psl28/0/oxy-plus, which is good shit. I don't know how but i must of got some on my hands because 2 minutes later they were burning and my hands were fucking covered in little white spots (bleached my already white hands lol). Thankfully an hour or so later the spots just went away. Its 50% and MADE for hydro use

@SCG: I use my local guys nutes as i think they work well and am always one to jump on the "lets support the locals" band wagon. There is ONE guy at the shop who is a complete dick and told me silica was $40 for 1L, but thankfully when i called up again the other guy clarified it was only $15, so same price as the big names.

As for your plants, put them in your greenhouse but run a fan! Fans will promote the plant to harden the fuck up GOD seems to have the right idea with puttin them a lil lower in the soil too. I think that with combo of a fan should see nice healthy stems. ALSO try use some silica as apparently it makes REALLY thick stems. I bought some the other day but yet to use it so can't comment on it too much.

Yer i got a bunch of them at home already lol. I was thinking of using them but didnt think it was needed. Clearly i was wrong lol. That stuff is horrible on skin so a little worried about what its doing to my clones (just normal plants)



On a side note: For those who have ordered from Herbies before, whats the longest you have waited? For the past 3-4 days my tracking number states it is in Aus but they no tbeen delievered yet so getting worried they have been caught

Also i got my silver rods the other day so just need to head over to woolies later and get me some deionised water so i can follow in GOD's footsteps and make me some CS

ANOTHER note: I got my vapourizer the other week (along with various other items from ebay), funny thing is i got a phone call the other day from paypal asking if i recieved the item......out of the 10 or so items i got paypal asks me about the vapour....should i be worried?

Pretty sure

It is a common remedy for overstretched seedlings - I've done it a few times with no problems.

I'd love to offer advice but all I can suggest is that you have a cone or three, and worry about it later.
