Hmmm organic from Bunnings...

Well what Joeski said plus look for the best certified organic compost they have, preferably with a decent amount of phosphorous and liberally topdress.

That or find some pelletised stuff and make a brew. It really needs incorporated a month before flowering if used normally.

Yeah and dont forget the mollasses!

:smoweed:

Nice Aussie ... check out Nutri-Tech on the web. find out where their distributor is near you. they produce the ducks nuts for organic growers and their prices are the same as bummings.

not only that you can get on the phone or email them with problems ... they are the NICEST people.

cheers!

Me, I 'm cautious with that stuff. late in flower might make yr buds taste sweet. (wot say you , Silver?)

I read that M is a bit short of P to use as a single fert during flowering. so this would be where eggshells dissolved in vinegar might be used in conjunction with M.

Do marijuana plants grow underwater? if it wasnt for where i live i swear i should be under water by now! how the hell do i grow in this weather?!?!?!?!?!

i got 4 fairly old plants very healthy, but so small and have tried to flower a few times already slowing down things alot.

Well i dont see a problem with sweet buds :D

But i like to use it every week or so. Especially if the media has dryed right out as it feeds the bacteria. Yup the roast egg shells and vinegar is the bees knees for early/mid flower.

That sucks Tech. Maybe some kind of raised bed with landscape fabric and bamboo stakes and filled with a coco based medium?.... a bit like this:



These are still going strong after almost 2 years. Initially stapled or sewn together with fishing line. The fabric is folded over to protect the tops from heavy rain or the sun. Being coco they can be fully saturated but still have enough oxygen. So long as the top remains above the water level they are great!

i'm just getting way too much rain, and very little sun.. its been the same summer for the last few years, however this year its been the worst.

they are looking good but way too small, they are somewhat starting to regrow again tho.. so hopefully i can get a bit of height, they should finish up ok.

same happened here last summer. was a disaster.

I do like Silver's solution though.

perhaps another variety would suit yr climate. I mean weed grows all over wet asia.

yeah i used to grow alot of thai weed, but since its wet they usually fuck out near the end with rot. tried some hybrids to get the flower time down and they didnt turn out good either. tho its just progressively been getting worse.

i used to get a pound off every pot i had growing skunk and ak48's and i'm not really doing any thing differently since then.
 
Super Lemon Haze: Budding:

We are happy with it but just thought it would be bigger. Its about 115cm and only grew about 1 or 2 cm in the last week. Do you think it will get much bigger?
Feeding it Bass liquid potash, and Beerenberd Molasses once a week atm. the M may be droped off in the next few weeks to stop "sweet buds" Is that all the ferts it needs for the rest of the grow? Or will some GOGO juice or somthing help it along still?

What do you all think?

Cheers. :tiphat:

Gogo juice or some kind of compost tea/EM1 ferment will do wonders for your soil. Will it make your current plant much bigger? Probably not. Will it make bigger buds? Yes i reckon it will.

It will also help build up the humus levels which will improve that spot for years to come. A nice layer of mulch will also breakdown into humus and feed/attract worms.

If it is Sativa dominant it will flower for 10 weeks+ and will keep getting taller i reckon. But i am more versed in the power of Indica...

Its looking good but i would keep up the vinegar for a while yet. Even better make the cal/phos eggshell recipe...

Looking good nice aussie.... ive heard a bit of hype lately about that strain your growing from some of my more seasonsed friends.. supposed to be well up there with the best.. hope thats ur experience when everything is said and done... heres to a nice finish
 
Cheers Joeski! :)

Yeah its supose to be some of the best Sativa in the world....
If your gonna do it you may as well do it with the best right?!?
Just a bit disapinted in the size for a Sativa Still better then nothing right...

Next year, Thinking K-Train: Again from greenhouse seeds. 50/50 split indica Sativa. Half Trainwreck and half OG Kush.

Is Joeski Polish?
 
I'm happy now 3xBubblegummer fems,one in the ground that looks like it'll have a promising yield.The othe two 2ft(the topped one) and almost 4ft for the other
1 Mystery mix sativa dom hybrid,probably the slowest to flower but it really needs a repot
And 3 Misty's,very Indica looking,the one in the ground is obviously shorter than the Bubblegum.
A Misty I repotted 2weeks ago put on a growth spurt but in the last 5 days it's yellowed very quickly,will probably try and get it in the ground,Wish I could post pictures for some views on the yellowing
7 plants and\ and 3 varieties,should keep me happy most of the year,at least until I get a perpetual indoor growing

Nice work everyone:)
 
Interestingingly out of 15 MrNice Shit they were all male,no hermi's,just males,If I'd gotten 5 more females(a pretty fair average)I would be pulling quite a bit more/
The males did grow like fuckn champions,I have my favourite segregated,will probably keep it for pollen,,,dunno

If I got 15 males from a pack of regular seeds, I'd be inclined to invest in feminized seeds too.

Those are some nice plants!!....It's sad to think that alot of rippers/teenagers(often but not always,they go hand in hand) would pull that now,yielding a few ounce of leaf and barely the begginnings of bud.Not to mention the headfuck of having plants taken...Rippers,I hate em.
I only have seven plants a couple only a few foot(a couple 6-7ft both ways...yay) but that's my smoko for up to 10 maybe 12months(only smoke a 1-2g a day,sometimes only 7 or 8 cones,thats rare tho),Not paying for it allows me to do alot more,Actually have a life on a disability pension.
People might think it's paranoid but I've set my tent up to sleep out there at night,last year everyone on my block(that I knew had plants) had there outdoor plants ripped.....Won't be happening to moi.My tents very comfy anyway,6 man,2 room tent all tricked out so I'm comfortable.And if I fail I have a big Bull Arab to support me and stop em'!
