General Cultivation Q&A

Hey, it's been a while since I posted a topic but I want to share what i've learnt about soil and how to improve soil. Soil: What comes to mind when you think of soil, do you think of the earths crust or simply dirt? or do you think of what it's made of and what it can be used for?...Well the soil is full of life and organisms but it's not all entirely organic matter. Treat your soil like a living object like a chain of life underground and you'll be rewarded with amazing healthy lush plants. Understanding the soil, the soil types, nutrients, etc..is half of the trick to growing healthy plants the other half relies on knowing the plants you're growing and it's requireme…

Hey guys, One of my plants is finally budding (looks fairly nice too) and I was wondering if anyone has any tips or tricks to help the buds grow a bit faster? Any and all help would be appreciated .

HiYa All For those interested in organics I got an email form NTS Nutri-Tech Solutions ( news letter thingy ) Have not tried this myself but plan to asap , think it's a great idea & costs not much to do & if you make rice at home , like all/most of us do you most likely tip the cloudy water down the sink , when we could be using it to help protect our girls, Anyways hope you find it interesting please excuse there sell of Bio-Bubble C & P The dictionary definition of the word "science" is "adherence to natural laws and principles". Nature has all of the answers and we were supposed to learn from her, rather than think we can do better. A prime examp…

Hey guys, I planted my seeds around the 15th of Oct...My leaves on both my indica and sativa are droopy as fuck, both are flowering and the sativa has pink pistils... What do you think may be wrong with them?

#sup I dunno if this is a male or a female, looks like it has balls and growing some shit, may you advise me off my sex? Happy Regards, #

First of hay all I'm new a Victoria fella as well I don't know if this is the right place to put this but Here are some pics of my big bud day 21 of flower Going nicely looking for some nice yielding strains that do well in vic as well not to expensive either Cheers all

Ok, more strange questions from me. You dont have to post a reply to say im a crazy weirdo..... i know aready. What would happen if you put aquarium bio media and product like http://www.seachem.com/Products/product_pages/Stability.html in a hydro system? Or using co2 in the water to regulate ph, like in an aquarium co2 system? Using aquarium water primer to get aged water quicker, would that neutralize some of the nutrients?

Hey guys I have currently got a potted female big bang thats roughly 2m tall and 1m wide at its widest, its in a large pot that is about 6 galon. The pot has very good drainage. It has been flowering for about 2 weeks and i think i will harvest in about 6 weeks. I have only now got specialised bloom nutrients, i bought bio-bloom and bio-grow from biobizz but i am confused how much to use. Here is the instructions and amounts: http://www.hydrogarden.com/content/images/blog/23/12/main/Biobizz%20Grow%20Chart.pdf Now, i only water the plant roughly every 2-3 days atm, i am confused how much of this stuff to add, it says how much to add per liter, but how much water do…

So I am getting the last parts of my indoor grow organized and have decided to shelf the Dutch Master nutes I have and order GH Flora 3-Part Series along with some Cal-Mag in order to use the h3ad/Lucas formula so anyway what online store would you recommend?

Hi If you were trying to get the most out of your plant, do outdoor growers ever supplement their plants with lights? Would hooking up a LED Flowering grow light 135-watt be a big benefit? Or would a light addition to a flowering plant put it back into vegetative state because of the light / darkness ratio changing? When would you apply the light if it was a good addition, anyone experimented with this? Feel free to tell me i'm dreaming, literally new to this and started v late in the season just trying to yield something... Cheers all -Tea

Hi err'body, I have a couple of questions if you kind be so kind to enlighten me. I read that indoor growers switch the lighting to 12/12 to make the plant flower, how do we achieve this outdoors? When is a good time to make this happen? Surely I'd want my plant to get the most daylight possible, no? My garden bed is up against a wall that shields the sun for a few hours in the morning, would you recommend I grow there or in smart grow pots in the middle of the lawn? In Perth when is the best time/ month to plant or sew seeds? What is a typical harvest period. Lastly, can anyone recommend a good seed bank that is relatively good value for money and has success shi…
