    Great Books For Growers To Read

    I'm sure many of you have already read one if not both of these but for you who haven't I highly recommend them, especially if you're growing in living soil. I'm reading TWM for a second time at the moment on the hammock. They contradict each other on many levels.. mainly anaerobic(JADAM) V'S...

    Welcome To The Jungle

    Hi guys, new to here and to forums in general.. I'm a New Zealand native raised in South Australia, which at one point in the 90's had some of the most progressive cannabis laws on the planet(10 plants were allowed and if caught no criminal conviction and $150 on the spot fine was all you got)...

    Deficiency ID

    Hi growing outdoors on my porch in living soil, feeding mostly PH'd dechlorinated water whilst top dressing monthly with worm castings, feeding compost teas every 2 weeks and inputs of aloe vera, seed sprout tea(moringa seeds) and epsom salts when I feel it's needed. Everything has been on track...

    Stressed Tips (organic grow) seeking advice

    Hi farmers, this week I've noticed a few of my girls are showing signs of stess on the tips and new growth. New leaves are skinny and twisted and look stunted. I'm growing outdoors in a home made living soil which consists of home made veg compost and worm castings(50%), good organic quality...

    Moringa Seeds

    Has anyone tried SST with Moringa seeds before? I have a tree producing a lot at home, I know they are high in zinc and iron but not sure if there's any possible risks envolved? I would use the normal barley grain and corn but can't source organic anywhere.

    Ocean Water and Trace Minerals

    For some time now I've been using clean ocean water once or twice a month diluted in my water when feeding, the reason being there are 90 or more trace minerals in sea water and basically in layman's terms all life originally comes or came from the ocean. I normally use a ratio of about 20 ml...

    Unsure whether to harvest??

    My banana split is looking ready to harvest at 6.5 weeks judging on the pistils looking over mature, Trichomes are only around 5% amber so not 100% sure if I should chop her. My girls got stressed this week due to really high humidity here in Costa Rica. Some are also showing signs of a...

    Please help

    This week we had the internet company working for a couple of days so my outdoor girls had to go in to the bathroom for quite a few hours each day while they worked. It’s really humid here in Costa Rica and it definitely wasn’t ideal to do especially in week 6 of flower. I had fans on them but...

    Burnt Spots

    Hi, my girls are in to week 4 of flowering and looking great and full of resin. So far no bugs or pm and my soil PH is 6.5. Here right now in Costa Rica it’s the windy season and really hot(30m/h winds and 85f + temperatures) so I’m pretty sure the brown burnt spots are wind burn mixed with a...

    Strange ‘fungus’ on stem

    Hi, I just pulled one of my plants due to finding early signs of it going hermi. I luckily got it in time, after inspecting the roots and stem I found these crazy looking balls(I’ll post pic). I have 11 girls outdoors going strong in their 4th week of flower but now I’m wondering if this if what...

    Advice Needed

    Hi, I just entered week 5 of flower and for the last week or so I’ve had a spider mite issue. I know this is 100% on me for not being militant enough spraying during the veg stage. I treated them with an organic garlic insecticide and it seemed to work for now I’m sure they will return though...

    Should I early harvest?

    I recently battled a bad case of spider mites which I noticed at week 4 of flower on my outdoor plant. I used an organic garlic based insecticide which seems to have killed off majority of the mites, I’m aware they will probably return if I’m not militant with spraying them but obviously with...

    Fast maturing

    Hi, today I entered day 28 of flower on my out door K Kush plant and my concern is that basically over night brown hairs started developing. The only change I made was last night I put a rotating fan on it to help with circulation and prevent any potential bud rot, I live in the tropics so it’s...
