General Cultivation Q&A

Hey guys im curious to know the affects it can have on the plant if you mess around the lighting too much. For example if i was to start the plants of outside with say around 13 hours light per day then move them indoors with around 18 hours light with also the change of the light being on at night. Iv heard it can turn the plants male but what are the affects on an auto feminized and auto flowering plants. Thanks ✌

Just wondering what would happen if you never change the light cycle to 12/12 and just keep it on 18/6, will it just continue to grow and never flower? And what if you change the light cycle after say 6 months instead of 1.5? Cheers ✌

I tried putting some using autopots in an outside grow. I took two auto pots each with its own reservoirs found a sunny spot and left them to it. One of the autopots was placed into a high walled polystyrene container. This seemed to help alot. This plant was a lot healthier. To get the best results Id place the Rez into an insulated container as well as the autopot valve. The rez should be a light tight container. Having tested this out; Ill be trying this again sometime with some really choice mint.

Hi all, Im doing my 1st auto grow, 2nd grow all up so im definitely a rookie. What are your thoughts on tipping autos and trimming the shade leaves? Also do i need to change the nutrients from vege to flower, if so when?? It is indoors, 400w with 5 plants, i know its not ideal but its all I have. Thanks ✌

Hi fellow medical and recreational cannabis users, I have been using cannabis for the last 9 years medically 24 years on and off in total, I find it is the only thing that can help with my anxiety and depression. I first started growing it 6 years ago, I have perfected my grow over that time and i can consistently get good results, After searching high and low in Melbourne for a decent strain without success i now plan on setting up a grow room so i can get some decent strains to consume, I would love to hear your opinions on growing in Australia as this will be my first grow here in Australia my own experience has been with indoor grow rooms in the UK so heat is not as…

Just wondering how long a seed takes to pop ? Halve a middle finger down and soil soaked. Should I continue to water or wait for her to show?

g'day. this is the stuff i got for my first indoor attempt in coco, bottles dont seem real specific on amounts like per litre, can anyone jump in here? bit overwhelmed as i havent done anything indoor yet and i feel somewhat over my head.

Hey everyone just wanted to get some basic advice on E.C levels, im using coco as a medium along with canna classic A & B, im about 3 weeks in veg and i had some cal and mag deficiency. i went and bought some calimagic. before i was feeding them 0.6ec and the calimagic directions are 1ml/pl when i put my nutrients with the calimagic it jumps up to 1.1 ec.. my question is do i lower my nutrient to sustain the 0.6ec or do does it not matter? on the bottle it says use with regular feeding dosage. thanks for any help...

Hey everyone, sorry if my posts are all over the place at the moment, im a bit confused with this forum, but you are all helpful im at 2 week stage since germination. I have 5 (i think indica, just seed that ive saved) that are ready to take out of the little 3lt pots and move to 10lt (it all the room i have and for stealth) they are under a 80w CFL 6500k over night in a stealth cupboard thing, around 27-29 degrees celcius and around 60% humidity, then outdoor in full sun for about 11hrs a day, so basically getting 24hrs light a day/night. 1.

Hi everyone. I have been reading up for days now and have quickly realised there is a bloody lot to this growing business. I have some seeds on the way from bonza and was wondering if someone can point me in the direction of some good info for beginners.
