Yay... i FINALLY received my seeds. As im in WA we have the strictest customs....even standard veggie seeds are prohibited from importing from other parts of australia, so its a bit of a challenge but Marijuanna-seeds.nl came through (with lots of freebies aswell)... ill add seedsman.com to the list of seed banks, cheers for that
Your going to be alot more than 2 weeks infront, as i dont get my canna coco medium until thursday. I dont have feminized seeds so i have all 15 of the seeds i received sitting in a netted bag with banana peel, and iv separated two and have them soaking in Phytoestrogens (plant estrogen). It wont exactly confirm IF it works to feminize seeds BUT if a male pops up after using either method, ill know personally that it doesnt work for me.
Iv decided on Canna Coco coir, perlite/vermiculite, and clay pebbles mixed as a medium.
My Hydro lights arrived - i STUPIDLY got the mars2 5w leds which dont have the veg and flower switch, so im a little disappointed in myself...wish i had read the listing properly. But i won a 300W LED for $55 free shipping of their original older models aswell.
The nutes im having a VERY hard time trying to figure out which is best. I thought i would stick with the Canna Coco range, but after doing further reading, their seems to be very common issues with deficiency when using this brand, and apparently they have started diluting their nutes, Aswell as their Nutes all being formulated for people with a 200ppm water supply...
and while i havent tested my own water supply yet, i feel their may be something of equal or better quality without the huge price tag.I suppose i might just have to purchase it once, and perhaps take note of all the ingredients to find a better alternative. Hahaha listen to me asking about nutrients mixes, and what one to use...i suppose thats all part of the science/skill behind growing really, is finding the perfect balance of feeding nutes, and if it were so easy, it will be marketed as "all you need grow nutrients" lol.
Most reviews i come across for nutrients are for US growers, so the products i see which people are highly recommending we cant even get here in Australia,
