Hey folks, KK from all the way down south on the other side of the world in the Land of Oz.
I am a keen vegetable gardener who has discovered what a great plant weed is to grow. It has a lovely form, is pretty forgiving and brings joy to people.I donβt usually indulge myself but many friends do. My vices are good beer and wine.
I stumbled across this site looking for seed purchase info so Props first. It is pretty hard to find reputable seed companies that will deliver to Australia atm. Herbie Seeds thru a link here i believe,do deliver downunder. I ordered some fem GG4, BB3, Gorilla Zkittlez and Amnesia Lemon as bonus, prepared to lose a couple hundred bucks if it didnβt work out. Delivery estimates were 33-40 type days and today I received my stealth delivery after 21 days, from the other side of the world. Fantastic stuff guys, seeds arrived as ordered well inside estimated delivery time. I was also able to pay using my normal bank account instead of sending cash in the mail etc. Another great convenience.
So for anyone looking at ordering seeds and worried about shipping,all I can say is give Herbies Seeds a go. I got mine on the other side of the world in 3 weeks. Major Props.
Now for Crops.
I have grown outdoors the past 3 years. First year, my wife who enjoys the smoke, complained about the size of photos. My tape measure ran out at 12 feet on a couple unknown Sativas. Pounds and pounds. Looked to be 13-14ft all done And we lucked out w fems. I know.
Next year I thought ok, I will get some autos from ILGM, easier to hide etc. No probs,good stuff, short plants but again, outdoors inground and not too well hidden. Bugger.
Last year I went to bags, outdoors, 5 gallon. Too much bloody work shifting them when family and friends come around etc.
Soooo, this year i have splurged some reasonably serious coin on a 7x7 tent system (looks like i should have got 2 smaller tents, 1 veg, 1 flowering. Anywhoβ¦) I have also gone the novice road on a hydro system and got the Undercurrent system and nutes. So I could have saved myself a boat load of cash on self building w organic soil in bags in a well lit cupboard but I wanted a decent turnkey solution to kick off. (Donβt judge me too harshly.)
Thumbs up to contributors here, feel like I have found my tribe a bit,you all love what you do, grow great ganja.
Special props to Dirtbag and Kenzeon,you are both inspirations. Itβs taken me half a lifetime to read your threads but I have. Thank you both for being so generous w your information And knowledge. DB you are pretty anal about quality control, which I Like. It shows in your beautiful end results. Kenzeon,you are like the mad scientist, chucken pollen at this, killin that, droppin seeds like Skittles at Kindergarden.
I hope to land gently somewhere in the middle between you both. I want some reasonable quality control and in time I might play around genetics just for shits and giggles.
Thanks for reading and any Aussies who want to hang out here,you know where to find me. I dunno whether to start another thread for growing or continue this one but I will work it out.
Happy growing everyone and thanks for making a bloke on the other side of the world feel home in this bullshit flu world we live in.
