Ah Ha, I just read that HUMUS compost can hold large amounts of water and is a great wetting agent, that makes sense then! Time for lots of sunshine!

Well that might just be the prob, I was watering them at dusk but after adding the compost I decided to water them at night for some bloody reason, hey I don't know why just a case of temporary insanity I guess, well I hope it's temporary :) Also I was watering around the stem before but the...

No, just a commercial liquid fert(Thrive). Don't think it has calcium in it?

I have seen those LED grow lights floating around ebay, you know the ones with 225 blue & red leds. If they work it sounds good for those who get robbed by the electric company(like me), they only use 15watts and cover a 2square foot area.

Hi all, My plants have been crusing along nicely but today when I checked on them I noticed that the leaves are curling upward. I did a bit of googling and it can point towards viral disease or insect infestation, however all 5 plants have reacted at the same time and I have checked THOROUGHLY...

Or even worse, other parts might shrivel up :eek:

I know, I really wanted to climb it!

No he wouldn't let me, but someone did and took it home with them :eek:

Damn, you read my mind, exactly what I was thinking, maybe graft a TS.BT + Atomic Heart

A mate of mine used them on his cannabis plant and well yeah it was huge, 7-8ft tall and massive thick stem, more like a tree really. Always made me wonder!

How do you know my wife? :rofl:

They're looking pretty good, should be getting enough warmth from the window and crt monitor, I like your intuative drainage system too :) The only thing I would do is add a small fan to help strengthen the stems, and you might eventually run out of room, hey you might even make the news...

Well the moisture is not the prob, I spray them to moisten medium when required but the temp is probably the problem, I usually keep them on top of the fridge at night and window sill during the day but I doubt they are getting 30C, that's why I used the plastic wrap technique, I will use a...

@ gasificada: Noooo, not the pots... the pellets. Yeah that's what I meant :) the ones they use for hydro alot! @ CoreySteel: Put it on my PC modem, which is warm 24/7 and I had 100% germination rate. My modem is next to my bed on my wifes side, I'm sure she would like my seeds in her face! Hey...

Hey gasificada that is one cool looking setup, I guess if you are planning on growing as many as you it would be a sound investment, especially for those scarce seeds germination rate is crucial! I think I'll give the jiffy pots ago next time too! Thanks!

I haven't used a thermometer to check the temp but if you touch up there it's quite warm, they popup anywhere from 4days to 6 weeks. Anyway thanks I will give it a go. Cheers :beer:

I haven't had a great success rate with germination recently, I know there are a bunch of different methods so please share your experiences. I have been using those small joined peat pots like nursery seddling trays with seed raising mix covering them with plastic wrap and sticking on my...

sort of looks like a lace bug, I also noticed many dark spots in the first pic, could be spider mites, look for tiny webs, hope you don't have em they are nasty little buggers that wage war.

not exactly sure what is causing the curling, could be a number of things, maybe to cool, there is a viral disease that causes leaves to curl and die and it’s spread by thrips and aphids. I am surprised to see flower buds appearing at this stage? How old are they?

G'day, Yeah they will definately stunt and possibly go dormant without light, depending on how many plants you have you could get an LED grow light off ebay, they are pretty cheap and only use like 15watts of juice so they are very inexpensive to use, you could setup a timer with it to switch...
