    Which Seed Banks will do Shipping to South East Asia?

    I've had some issues getting seeds to South East Asia - e.g. Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. I used to have no issues, but now a lot of sellers won't ship here :( If anyone know of any specific seed banks that will do stealth shipments to these countries, feel free to enlighten me.

    Another one of those -> are we there yet?

    It's not exactly my first grow, but I have a bad tendency to harvest them early and my endoscope broke and I haven't got a magnifying glass and so here goes - is this lady done yet? It's an OGK mother plant that lost half its root to untreated coco coir and also suffered from heavy...

    Outdoor light to prevent them from flowering early in tropical climate?

    I'm planning to set up an out-door grow on my balcony and around here it's 12h/12h give or take an hour, year long. To get bigger plants, I want to put an out door spot light on them, with a timer, to add 4-6 hours of light per day, with the sole purpose of keeping them from flowering. I heard...

    Deltamethrin 2.5% EC

    I've given up on the Organic approach to spider mite infestations, as mine got waaay out of hand (got the insecticide late and didn't use it properly etc.) and so I've now used the following solution: Deltamethrin 2.5% EC I choose this, because I couldn't find any other chemical insecticide...

    Mekhong High Sativa - tuning in to a male?

    While I'm pretty sure I've got the answer already, but I've been thinking this was a female and even killed it's brother, which I was sure was a male, some 3+ weeks ago or so, when I let it start flowering . . . Now however, it has balls . . . Still, this is my first Sativa and second...

    OGK Organic Soil - Pests are Us...

    This little lady is a Feminized OGK I bend out of shape, to get more tops, so I could clone her. Due to a power failure, she started flowering after the first time I took tops, so I let her flower, but then she was attacked with a Spider Mite infestation that while it seems over, took it's toll...

    My 1st Hydro - 3 Critical + clones in DWC Styrofoam with clay pellets using Cidly ZA LED

    My 1st Hydro setup done entirely by myself - did do a few for friends, though just the building part. Genetics. The 3 Critical + clones were taken from plants in soil that were already flowering for a few weeks (no choice). The setup is a small air pump with two outlets and a styrofoam box...

    A few Noob Questions that I nevertheless must to feel to ask...

    So, my first batch of Organically grown Critical plus plants, all 3 of them nearing 4 month of age, are blooming nicely and I thought I'd ask an experts opinion with regards to when to harvest. I've got close up pictures of the buds and I also tried to take some x50 close up pictures with my...

    DIY Organic Soil - making do with what we got (part 2)...

    I started an old post with the same title as this, but as I couldn't edit it, I thought I'd start a new and updated one. I'm situated in a part of the world, where we can't readily get our hands on most of the products that are available elsewhere and I want to make a good solid organic soil...

    What's up with this one?

    Just thought I'd like the experts opinion on this one. Am taking care of a mates garden, while he's recuperating after an intimate encounter with a lamp post. I am supposed to look out for males, but alas, having only ever used feminized seeds and not that many, I'm worried that something is...

    DIY Organic Soil - making do with what we got...

    I'm situated in a part of the world, where we can't readily get our hands on most of the products that are available elsewhere and I want to make a good solid organic soil, if possible perhaps even a super soil of sorts. So what is available around here? Not much at all, except for various...

    Consistently too tall Seedlings

    We're a few growers in a very hot and humid part of the world (South East Asia) that have a consistent problem with seedlings grown from seed, whether in a soil mix, a soil less mix or in a starter cube. As you can see from the pictures of these three latest seedlings, they're unnaturally tall...

    3 homemade Cloners (3x5 2 inch spots) - comments welcome...

    I've been building a few cloning machines myself, as I can't quite afford the models you can purchase online and where I stay, it's impossible to buy these things and most of what I've seen other people use for their machines, so I thought I'd post the results so far, as especially the cloner...

    Planning nutrient + additives consumption for Hydro grow?

    I'm helping a mate set up a hydro grow and I'm trying to figure out what nutrients to use and how much they would cost. Basically we got 3 options as I see it: 1. Buy high grade/well known brands like Botanicare or General Hydroponics. This is a problem in the part of the world where we reside...
