Just a little update at 35 days in by my count. Went away for the weekend. topped up the reservoir before we left and it was about 12L lower when I got back after three days. Lady looks happy as larry and is packing on a bit of weight now. Not much to do in there but tidy up and keep the nutes...

Sorry, must've missed where you'd tried it. How did it smoke? I hear about Happy Frog a lot as a go to soil. Pity we can't get it down here. Think I'll just try making my own. Cheers

Just spent some time going through your journal. Good read, thank you. Your plants look pretty healthy in pots. What sort of potting soil do you use? Was going to throw a surplus germinated seed in a pot and see what happens. I like the roses as well. We have some lovely established roses...

Thanks! Seems there's a few of us around here. Always a good sign I reckon!

We have the very same problem! Just trying to get more in every year. At the moment it's Kale, Cavell Nero, Broccoli, the last of the pumpkins and Broad Beans. Plus a bunch of herbs and the Lemon, Orange, Lime and Kumquat trees. I also have a fig in a large pot but I've struggled so far to get...

Thank you both, that is pretty much where I was already at but I keep seeing all these people getting carried away with the scissors. I will carry on like I have been then :)

Got some supplies in the mail today White Widow Fem OG Kush Reg Northern Storm Auto Fem and I think G13 Haze Reg Second two were freebies. Should keep me going for a little while. Anyone have tips on extended seed storage? I heard in the fridge but my 5year+ (possibly up to 15year) bagseed...

The local tap (city) water has a bad name for being hard and tasting terrible but I just think it tastes like home! So far the combination of the water and my H&G nutes has needed very little adjustment to get it back to low 6 pH. The Rainwater on the other hand needed a little up. How does the...

All I had to do today was top up the tank and clear away a couple of dried leaves. Can't wait to try my own product. It's starting to smell pretty good in there. Couple of better buds further back but I'm lacking the skill to capture them. I'm so far pretty happy with how the cheap eBay LED...

Sorry, Australian. Yes, city water. Local is considered on the harder side compared to nationally and sits about 220ppm. It's not too bad really but we just got the rainwater tank sorted and would rather use that for all my gardening because it's there.

Fantastic, thank you both! There's so many crossbreeds and phenotypes around these days it's good to know where they all come from. I don't think I had come across Leafly before. That's amazing! Over sixty White Widow strains listed alone! There is a solid chance I will be spending at least a...

Thank you again for that link to the Science in Hydroponics page. I read through what they had there and downloaded a copy of the HydroBuddy software. Not only is it a good resource for being able to save a bit on nutrients but I think it's important to have at least a base knowledge of what...

Ah, thank you. I did find some info about calcium deficiencies when I had a quick look around but not about using it as a general booster additive. Have you found it worth while to use during flower? I have been told that calcium deficiency is not all that common in my area due to our slightly...

I think that was my other problem. I was trying to use a 60ml syringe to dose with. Not very accurate in such small quantities. I have since gone and got myself a glass dripper, should be much better.

That will be the plan. Totally underestimated the whole "stretch" thing! Haha... Such a noob ;)

Ah, no worries. That's the biggest problem with forums. Tone can sometimes get a little ambiguous... I'm already thinking that anything I grow myself will be better purely because I'll be willing to put the time into it. The best smoke I've had in recent years was from a mate of mine because he...

Hi! Thank you for the kind words. It's funny, I was just reading through your journal. You have some amazing looking plants. Like I said, the pH problem was partly a design limitation where it's a little difficult to get into the reservoir and mix properly and partly just that I'm not used to...

That's the plan!... Or do you mean that Northern Lights is no good? All recommendations welcome. So far I have some White Widow and OG Kush seeds on the way. Have a pretty lengthy wishlist going as well. I'm a little old school so plan to start with the classics and go from there.

Thank you, I've always been one to read as much as I can before I start. It's a little unusual that this time I just got them going and went from there. I understand where they're coming from, learning anything new can be daunting and asking questions seems easy, but I never did understand...

So it was about time I made a rookie mistake and it finally happened. Changed out my reservoir two days ago and was in a bit of a hurry. I thought I had got the PH right but when I checked it yesterday the nute solution was cloudy and the PH had spiked over 7. I immediately dumped the new...
