General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, New here hopefully I've landed on the right sub forum! Just build my box and finished germinating my seed, I've got a sprout (Jeremy) and he is growing quite nicely in my opinion. only a week old (from seed). wondering if my setup is okay for the current stage and what do i need to add to allow for the future. Trying to keep it low cost. Current stats: 2 CFL warm globs @ 1550 Lumens each 1 15W circulation fan Temp & humidity monitor soil is a seedling potting mix for my local hardware watered twice daily to keep the soil moist 24 hour light cycle

I've spent a fair while searching the net trying to find a source of a shell meal/powder to build my organic soil and have come up bust, has anyone managed to find somewhere to order it online within Australia?

Some may already know, i wont go into details but my plants obtained extensive root damage and the roots had to be cut to aprox 15cm in length. I could of chucked out the plants and started again (infact iv already germinated a few seeds for a better, cleaner fresh start, but all those rotted away in the cocopeat pellets) ... BUT anyway since im now running low on seeds im glad i didnt completley give up on my original plants, and so far they are doing ok. I expected them to be slow growing ofcourse while the roots adjusted, and i gave it about a week before i was sure the plants were even going to survive. Its now been 3 weeks and the plants have been producing new min…

Ok about 15 yrs ago I grew some hydros it took me a while to find good clones but when I did they boomed. The only problem I have no idea what they were but they had some distinct properties (I think anyway) The grew about a meter to 1.2 high an grew them over 12 weeks 6-6. I got about 4 oz plus per plant. The buds were big lots over 30 cm an thick an solid biggest weighing an oz an a half. The weirdest thing about them an maybe biggest clue is the shade leaves just had 1 finger. Just 1 really long finger with maybe 2 tiny little ones either side of it. Hopefully the 1 finger is a known strain if not an old one. Oh an I grew them in a big tank with nutrients…

Hi Guys, Ive got 2 plants on the go and one of them has a very distinctive smell whilst the other is very subtle. Both of them are around 2 months old and im not sure what I should be looking for. I can see where i would assume the buds would grow....but nothing is there yet, Can anyone enlighten me in regards to flowering and budding?

Hey after doing a lot of research into the auto pot systems and reading a lot of negative reviews I've still decided to get a 2 pot systems as I believe with a little extra prep it will be fine, Such as airstones under the pots and regular flushing in case salts build up. My questions are though, With only bottom watering will it really need flushing weekly? As I thought unless you're top feeding this salt problem shouldn't happen. Also anyone currently using these systems please write your experiences and views on them as well as little things you've found to help. I've also got a bubble bucket with top feed I'll get going once this is all setup to compare the 2 methods

Hey guys im looking for something just to throw down and water in and let the rain do its thing to it, is there any good slow release ferts anyone would recommend that i can chuck down now that will help over the next few months?

Roughly how many kw wld you use for a 4x4 indoor grow. With 1000w hps and 1000w ballast. 1 intake fan. 1 exhaust fan and 10000 btu ac/dehumidifier? Do you have intake and exhaust fans on 24/7 ? Or only when lights are on?
