There’s some good soil recipes in the organics section. I basically copy J.James recipe from the organic section with an Aussie twist. He’s in the states (I think) so some brands are hard to get but I’ve found local versions.
Think I’ve posted this link before. Maybe not the cheapest, however 1st class quality and service.

Hold up here. Then why the heck was that nasty thing pictured next to a "No swimming" picture? The couple times I've been to Perth/Fremantle, I've only gone sailing. I was thinking to myself "Thank God I didn't go swimming down there....." Those are bush scorpions??? Geeze....

Lol. You guys are funny as hell. At the very least, I'll be taking another vacation down there. Might even move there, in the next ten years. Don't know yet, if I want to live with a bunch of convicts kids though.... Whew! That's REALLY scarry....

Lol.
The "No Swimming" thing is just a bit of trivia that Tally Ho (cigarette paper manufacturer) includes inside each booklet. Your perception was a little "skewed" methinks? Perhaps chemically enhanced?? ;)

Bush Scorpion stings can be painful, but not fatal, much like a Bull-Ant bite (imagine an ant about 2 inches long with large pincers & very aggressive). I've been bitten on the ball-sack by a few of them when I made the mistake of sitting down on a nest. A real borderline thrill, I can tell you!!

It's the other bastards you have to be wary-of. Where I live, it's Tigers at this time of year. NO, I don't mean big pussy-cats with 4 legs & a tail, but Tiger Snakes. This is a small one (about 1m long) I snapped around my shed a few years ago:

I went out to tend my bush grow plot a couple of weeks ago & almost stepped on one twice that size.

A small one killed my favourite dog & made a 55Kg Bull Arab VERY sick with a subsequent strike (they strike "dry" first).

If you're considering coming back down here for a vacation (or to live), you should understand that anyone who can directly trace their lineage back to an original convict is considered Australian "Royalty". I've got a mate who's originally from Texas. 'Told me he originally had a hard time getting to grips with the irreverant Aussie sense of humour/vernacular etc., but now always greets me with a smile, a hug & "G'Day dog's-breath":hug:

@klx does this look like any of your pheno’s got this nug off the drying rack slight hint of purple
View attachment 4449975
Here’s some that still needs a trim

Both parents have purple tendencies. This round its on average 3 degrees warmer in my room and I am not seeing as much purple in the buds. That one you got leans heavy to the dad.

Some pics of the phenos I found plus a couple dry nug shots. I only popped 6 or 7 to get an idea but will pop 30 next time

Finally busted my cloning cherry this arvo.

Boulstered by the confidence I gained from @DustyDuke's donated clones (ie. I didn't kill them!), I figured I'd have a go myself.

8 x Incredible Bulk on the left. 8 x Gelato OG on the right.

@beernutz , yes, I know I wasn't intending on growing anything this year, but when DustyDuke was potentially going to trash some perfectly good clones, I went-bush & got busy......

Nice looking buds mate. My other female wants to reach a lot more like the plants in your pics, not short and stocky like the other one. I’m keen to see her explode she was revegged and she has so much growth. Once she settles into her new pot I see good things. Apart from splitting her down the main stem a bit lol. Good old tape.

I’ll have some of @klx’s clones soon let me know if your keen it’s a quality strain. Mine taste earthy with a hint of grapey sweetness at the end and you feel it in you legs after a big hit.

make sure the dome is on
spray with 400/500ppm grow nutes, ph balanced water
and next time rockwool cubes even if going into soil later
