Just a headsup for all you kiwis-
don't use TUI ORGANIC COMPOST, it fuckin kills your plants.

I was using it last grow mixed with worm castings, and the moment I repotted into it from the smaller pots the everything just came to a standstill. All the colour drained out, leaves died and growth slowed right down. I perservered till harvest trying all sorts of different shit, more nutes, less nutes clean water flush, nothing helped.
When I popped some seeds this time same thing happened, seeds popped in the compost ok but when they put down roots they hated it. I changed all the seedlings out to some stock standard homebrands soil mixed with worm castings and within a day they were picking up- now they're practically busting out their pots.

I probably should have picked it earlier but I thought, it's organic how hot can it be?

Don't buy it.

Hey y'all - just dropping in to say hi.

I'm a long time lurker, but started growing this year. My first bag seed grow hermied, so I chopped it. Now have 5 Mandala seeds on the go.

Thanks for the heads up on the Tui mix Farmer Green, isn't that the warewhare brand?

The hardest thing about growing in NZ is that we can't buy any of the international brand stuff - any one want to help decide on a definitive indoor soil mix using local ingredients?

I think I got it from mitre10 mega, certainly wasn't the cheapest so I thought it was good

Hey NZL nice healthy girls what medium did you use?

nzl · Dec 1, 2009

just cheap $20 for 2 potting soil from kings barn with heaps of dolomite, the more the merrier and the earth juice range

mrcoughcough · Dec 1, 2009

Cool did you just grow the main kola on them and cut all the rest off?

nzl · Dec 1, 2009

na man I didnt do any pruning at all just lst (tied them down)
every plant got the same treatment. I think the main thing was i never rotated the plants so the one in the middle just got abit obese on lights

mrcoughcough · Dec 1, 2009

Good stuff how long did you vegg for also what sort of yield did you end up with?
They look like nice solid buds.

nzl · Dec 1, 2009

7 weeks tie them down make them bushy dont let them get tall during veg man u make that up during the flowering

mrcoughcough · Dec 1, 2009

interesting what about yield? I havent tried tiring my down at all yet the strain I have just wants to bush & they do stretch a little when change over to 12/12 but nothing like the white rhino strain I had.
