Yeah I have tried it too. I didn't switch to coir without trying vermiculite. I found it way too soft (and too expensive). I think my first seedlings last year were just coles potting mix and vermiculite, and most plants died because of the constant spring rain I had. They were outside under...

That wicking thing is very interesting mega. Makes sense. I always thought as vermiculite's job as being to hold moisture. The stuff here is expensive and probably too fine though anyway. I used coir to do the job I thought vermiculite did as it was a budget option, ie hold moisture and...

I would have put money on that. Aussies are heavy users on the term "I reckon".

You're not using the pure power of ketchup, or 'tomato sauce' as it's known here. I don't hate it, but I find where ever it is good, a chilli sauce would be better, so I got no time for it on pies, hotdogs, sausage rolls, eggs etc, where it is traditionally used. And I don;t put anything like...

:rofl:

are you old enough to remember nintendo "game and watch" LCD games? There's a mario brothers game where they are working at a bottling plant and it's twin screen, so you control both at the same time at each end of the horizontal conveyor belts. http://youtu.be/03udgQDpQSA?t=3m15s I never...

Yeah "overwatering" doesn't strictly exist, as hydro growing works fine, it is lack of air to the roots that is the problem. Thats why I tried bottom watering with coir first, 1) so the top isn't saturated and with perlite air could get in there, 2) to stop compaction (lets air in there), 3)...

And this is why we can't have chilli trivia questions... Sicman please change your avatar.

Coco coir is awesome.. for germinating. Go back to the beginning of this thread, nova was using coco coir for that. Last year I used some coco coir in my buckets, that was a bad move. (edit: not much, maybe 1/4-1/2L in a 8L bucket?). It holds moisture very well (which is why it is good for...

This is the world I live in. Seriously, I don't care too much for food, I just do the minimum effort. If it takes more than an hour for dinner, I can't be bothered (though a slow cooker/crock pot/ oven roast is fine, I mean I don't want to prep and stand in front of it for more than an hour)...

Sorry, not giving you a hard time, I just hope the thread doesn't go that way, as I think the 'instigator' of all that is still a member here for some unknown reason. But best of luck and I hope you get rid of them *somehow*

Before this ends up like the last thread... Post in a geek/nerd/animal lovers/4 chan /an thread for them to come over and catch their own future pet before you post what you otherwise plan to do. Or just PM dave2000

Doesn't work with HTTPS as the S is for secure links and sites works with http: - no s though, and nothing on the end like hash or exclaimation marks like I said before, just use the (media) tag http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_bcK0V6v3GA Should do it automatically if...

Not going all out, just germinating some and keeping in small pots for now in the name of experimenting/passing the time. If they are healthy but still in small pots I can take them with me when I move. If they aren't, well it's just a learning experience that passed the time I guess. Most of...

P. Dreadie, just put the link inside (media) tags like this:

I love everyone here. Every grower, everyone wanting to learn how to grow. Everyone getting into the hot and spicy too. Keep those others aways from me though. I burn on contact ;-)

Ha Ha you remember that guy that... Oh wait, that guy is not banned so he could reply, better not say anything. I wouldn't want any replies after all, my fragile ego may not take being involved in confrontation. Maybe later when he can't reply I'll make a comment... edit: Some guys have a...
