Thankyou for accepting me to the Forum...I was starting to get worried as It has been a couple of days since I signed up, but all good...It gave me time to have a browse.. I must say, Its a remarkable resource for learning, and I got a lot of enjoyment looking at the pictures...
Im an older guy...living In Australia...
I did my first Hide N Grow back In the late 80s early 90s...
Boy, things appear to have changed a lot, but Im mainly here because Im Interested In growing Autos...
A friend has given me 3 seeds to try my luck.
Ive just thrown these In my Tomato garden, with a heap of chicken manure (Dynamic Lifter), and they are going off like a rocket...the more I bend, the more they grow.
Ive purchase all the stuff to make my hydro setup so the next lot will be In rocks....Im waiting on delivery of some seeds as I type..
Ive ordered a mixed lot....AUTO Northern Lights, AUTO White Widow, AUTO Gelato, AUTO Blueberry, AUTO Bubblegum, AUTO Cocopopo
See, my brother has a few problems and relies on medical Marijuana, but honestly, they make you jump through hoops for the scripts, so Ive decided to try and help him out a little.
After a couple of days reading, and with my previous grow knowledge, Ive decided to stick with the tried and trusted KISS method..
KEEP IT SIMPLE STOOPID....pump, air, nutrient, rocks and gravity
It gets pretty hot over here In Australia, and Ive been reading about temperatures and PH and all this other stuff, but frankly, I never saw any of these problems, or worried about any of this stuff...maybe I was just lucky, but people still comment to me today about what I used to grow and how It was the best they had ever smoked..
Anyhow,back In the day, I was growing White Rhino and a couple other older strains, from clones, using 450w SonTs and Canna solutions, with a wet Hydro method In expanded clay beads...pulling up to a pound per plant every 13 weeks or so, growing 2 at a time....
I stressed the heck out of them....bending and crimping them to a champagne glass shape so just a sea of heads..
Treat em mean and keep em keen...they get very angry when you start bending them to shape...
Im not looking to grow that much now, as Im no longer a smoker, but these Autos should hopefully make things much easier...
So, to all those people who put In the work, genetics and stuff...Thankyou...
And to those who are running the forum, and contributing, thankyou as well...Ill get many hours of enjoyment reading here and looking at the pics...
Cheers
