General Cultivation Q&A

Hi All, Just a thought I wanted to pass as I have found a few different answers. if your coco grow seems to need a cal\mag addition - could one use a small amount of liquid dolomite to give the additional cal\mag? something like... adding 5ml per liter to a normal feed and PH it down to 5.8?

Hey all I've grown soil before twice but I'm new to hydro. I got some gear from a mate and was wondering if you guys could help me figure out what's what and how it all fits together. I have two pots identical to the one pictured - they have feeders at the top and two tubes going in at the bottom. There is a tub that I'm guessing is a reservoir. Then there is 2 pump looking things, one of which seems to have an air stone attached to it?

I need some odour control but since im only using 120mm computer fans carbon filter is out of the question as fans are not powerful enough.I have been reading abit about odour control and the yanks swear by a product called ONA or ONA BLOCK.I can only find it on ebay but its overseas,anyone know where i can find this stuff in oz?

Okay, I think a male plant has been stressed and is throwing girl parts, Is the pollen off this still viable as the plant itself is stressed but the pollen should be determined by the genetics of the seed. The plant has had a hard time adjusting to his new home so Im not surprised. He flipped, I didnt know males could but after reading a bit it's just as possible for a boy to swing as a girl. Sad to lose him he was my OG good thing.

Evening all I mentioned in a previous topic a while back that I wanted to create a one off strain for myself but also as a surprise gift for a friend of mine. I want to get 3 different strains and make them into 1 plant. Now I admit this is all new territory for me so correct me if I'm wrong here (and forgive my ignorance to terminology, I have no idea and I've just used Matt's basic language ) but would the easiest thing to do in my case be to order a few feminized seeds of the strains I want and then do a 5 stage grow to get the final plant I want? For example... Stage 1: Grow plant A and 'seed' it with collodial silver water (By 'seed' it I mean create pollen…

Hi Everyone, I was hoping someone might be able to tell me where to purchase the replacement tubes for the 4 x 55w T5 lights. I have 3 of them and they all have one blown globe. I need all 3 lights operational otherwise I would make 2 good lights out of the 3. Cheers, Matsu

Hi guys, Starting to think about the coming outdoor season. Will be doing 2 CBD Crew strains after last years were so good. Also will be trying to do 2 other strains, that's were u guys come in, dont know much about strains, so i would like to use ask the audience please . I will be ordering from Bonza as they seem as good as any and sponsor here. What i am looking for is strains that are going to sit u on ur arse, def not the sort of gear u want to vape and go to mums place. I need them to be on the shorter side, when they hit 6 foot they will be chopped (no room for tying down hopefully) So what strains do u recommend from Bonza?

Few photo's of my new,BlueLab-Guardian PH=EC-Temp-Monitor. I already have a BlueLab Truncheon an have only had 1 prob with it an it was replaced with a new one from BlueLab with in 1 day of them checking it out an found that it was a faulty EC-Truncheon so I am sticking with that make of meter due to there top service an not pissing me around with any warranty prob's. When ya on a good thing stick to it I say. Going to calibrate my meter tonight or tomorrow as I have to make up some PH adjusted water an nutrient for my Babies that need to be transplanted in to coco in some small black plastic pots. Regards,Dingo-2008.

Hi all, So for many year, I have put Air - Con on the back burner. As it is another cost towards power. But this my new Solar System only few week away, I have been head down in my bills and running numbers. After many hours, I think finally I can run a Air - Con based only on the saving I will be getting from my Solar System. I have done a bit of reading on Air - con systems, but its all just website stuff and no personal experience reviews on it. Has or does any one use Air-Con? I run a 3mx3mx2.8m room - insulated, run 4 x 600 watt 4 girls, atm I have in and out fans. However will go to a sealed room - no in/out. Only oso Fan. Sadly I do have access to a Co2 s…

hey guys ive previously used Dutch Master Advanced and Canna Coco nutrients for a coco grow im looking for something more simplified than a 2 part nutrient, have u guys came across any decent 1 part nutrient/fertalizers from bunnings to use in coco? if so will i need a veg and bloom or is there an alrounder? what are your results compaired to using hydroponic nutrients? cheers

I've never been so unfortunate and had my plants suffer from light burn but the other day I left them unattended for 36 hours and they decide to grow rapidly and 2 got some burns. Here's a couple of quick snaps from my phone. Should I top the plant to remove the burns or just leave it? (Autos that have just started flower nutes and have about 3 weeks left before harvest)
