General Cultivation Q&A

I am setting up my grow cabinet and will be purchasing LED's. I am thinking about just getting a couple of 1000watt units from AliExpress. I figure that it wont be a true 1000watts, and I might not need as much. In the event the light actually gets close to the 1000 watts advertised would that damage 2 plants if I kept them far enough away to keep from touching. I was also thinking about getting a couple of 300 watt leds to have on the sides to ensure that the plants are getting light from as many angles as possible. Is this overkill? I'm sure I could use a 600 watt unit instead, but if I'm willing to pay extra would the extra light damage the plant? I'm thinking that g…

Hi Growers and Smokers I have been looking to get my indoor tent soil grow happening for quite a while now; been researching as much as possible, reading forums, watching videos... it is getting to the point of making equipment purchases. I think I know what I want but would love to post my current plan and equipment list and see if there are any things the experienced folks can advise or fill in the blanks. Firstly a bit of info about me and the intentions for the grow: I have no experience with growing, not just cannabis but any plants! But I have confidence and think I understand the fundamentals from what I have studied about indoor tent growing. And am prepa…

Hi there, long time reader and first time poster - please be kind. Well, I'm growing 2 Super Skunk and they're going very well (about 3 weeks old and on an 18/6 cycle) however I stupidly messed around with my timer and accidentally switched them into a flowering 12/12 cycle which I noticed this morning. I cleaned/messed around in my grow space 3 days ago so the plants have only been in this 12/12 cycle for three days. My question : Is it okay to switch them back to 18/6 or have I started a cycle which I must now stick to i.e. 12/12? I've 'googled' this and have come across many 're-veg' articles however they've all been for plants which have been flowering for so…

Curiosity made me try once.Only one worth planting did not grow as an auto and was beautiful.My problem is why you wouldn't clone good strains and put straight into bud.Ruderalis i have been told has qualities of hemp.So apart from saving a fortune clones won't have ruderalis in genes and that is a plus.Plants take no longer so why???This is a genuine question not trying to be rude to those that grow them or rhetorical.

For my smaller pots I have the matching drip trays. But I bought some 40cm diameter fabric pots which don't have drip trays. I'd imagine these leak water given their design, so was wondering what others use to catch the excess water for a soil based grow when involving bigger pots, in a small grow tent 60x120x180??

Hey all, just wondering what other defects you fellas have seen? Post some pics below. [emoji16][emoji111] Noticed this on my young Peyote Gorilla, what looks to me like a triple tip, with the middle tip being reversed and conjoined. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Yup, sorry!! First post on a great community forum. Grown on and off over the years, bag seed, outdoors, indoors with a 400HPS in the roof etc etc. It was always guerrilla style, because of my then young kids being at home and me not wanting them to be aware, so in the roof in the middle of the night when everyones asleep, did just the basics and always did ok ( always pottered in the garden over many years, green thumbs, which gave me a good foundation). Anyway, kids flown the coop so bought a Mars Hydro light and 120x60 tent, and secured some GHS SuperLemonHaze with which to restart the passion. 2 beans, SCROG, longish veg, see what happens, tweaking as I go( lots o…
