    Skunk #1 Sensi Seeds: First-time Grow West Australian

    Ok, so I came home from work at midday and after putting on a load of washing went and checked on my seeds. Happy to say that we have a result!

    Racism

    A 6'4" Mexican!!! You're right then - stereotypes don't count for much! lol Hey, we don't get many Mexicans in my part of the world, except for the odd backpacker. All I get is from what I see on TV. Speedy Gonzales being a particularly insensitive case in point.... ;-) I am working with...

    Racism

    Maybe, if you can find them. ;-) So you should know what I'm talking about then. Everyone has to take shit from someone in their life; even the star fucking quarterback with the hot cheerleader girlfriend. Noone gets out of life unscathed. Laugh it off, roll a monster dooby, punch it down...

    Racism

    Pff! Yeah, I feel for you losing your Dad, man. I wouldn't wish that on anyone. But honestly, try growing up in 1980s Australia, being the only Italian-Australian in primary school, and sporting the most fucked up Italian name the world has ever known. That, my friend, was a recipe for some...

    Hey Jas, I'm setting up a dtw coco grow too, and was wondering what kind of ppm/concentration you're using, and how many times a day does your pump go on? I'm a total n00bcake as far this hydro stuff is concerned.

    UPDATE: Ok, so it's been 20hrs since I started the germinating process. I've checked the moisture content of the cottonwool wipes and they seem to be staying damp the way I want them to. I've put a magazine between the heatpad and the ceramic plate I'm germinating in. I thought it was getting...

    Skunk #1 Sensi Seeds: First-time Grow West Australian

    Thanks for the goodwill, Brimi! Yeah, you're right. Australia has always been funny about plant matter imports. Hell our closest ally and trading partner New Zealand has only just got permission to export their Apples to us! lols Well, I know a few of these seed banks suggest deliveries to...

    Skunk #1 Sensi Seeds: First-time Grow West Australian

    Oh, and I will be starting them under CFL's till they're of a certain size and then it will be straight under a 600 or 1000w HPS for the rest of their days. While I'm intrigued by LEDs and even more so by Induction Flouros, neither are attractive at this point as far as opportunity cost...

    Skunk #1 Sensi Seeds: First-time Grow West Australian

    G'day folks. I've been lurking on this forum for many months trying to learn as much as possible before I started my first grow. The biggest issue thus far has been sourcing decent (or any for that matter!) planting material. I've ordered seeds from Seedmadness and Seedsman and never got my...

    Hey someone told me that I should mix my urine in with water for my plants

    And Urea is easlily the most common source of nitrogenous fertiliser on the planet. With more than 40% of a bag of Urea being N it is easily the richest source of N for fertilisers. There are bacteria in soil that break down Urea into ammonia (using an enzyme called urease I think..) and others...

    Hey someone told me that I should mix my urine in with water for my plants

    I thought Urea wasn't allowed because it was industrially produced as a by-broduct of the petrochemical industry? Maybe I'm just making that up... As for ruminants, yeah, they're like a host for gorgeous microbes that can work wonders in any compost. But that's not to say that E. coli...

    Koi Carp as Nutrient Replacement?

    Um, how big is your res? I mean, you'd want a dirty big one to house the fish in. Otherwise they'd be like battery hens and unable to move. Also you'd need to collect their waste from forming on the res' floor, which could be messy, even if it's nutrient rich. Your main inputs would be feed...

    Man, they are some monster bud!! I guess you already know this, but if you're sending stuff interstate a courier service will still get searched at quarantine. And plant matter can't (or isn't supposed to) travel interstate from certain states to others. If you're sending it to someone in...

    Thanks for the suggestions, folks. A couple of kind folk have PMed me with some possible solutions. I'm so appreciative, and I'm kicking myself I didn't ask on this forum sooner.

    Hey guys, this is a change of topic, but it's born of my frustration and nothing more. I've ordered seeds on 3 separate occasions from seedmadness (twice) and seedsman and I've never received my goods. I've waited the requisite 28 days before making my complaint and asking for money back or...

    DIY Nutes?

    Hey folks, a part of me resents forking out serious bucks on commercial preparations (your Canna ranges etc. spring to mind) and I was wondering if there were any guides on making one's own nutes. I run a small vineyard and know the cost of urea, calcium nitrate, super phosphate and others, and...

    No shit! I hear you on the dejected feeling when you find bills and no letter from the postie saying you beans are here to pick up. I ordered from Seedmadness (england based) on the 16th of Feb, and I still haven't received them. I called them and they were all nice about and said I should wait...
