General Cultivation Q&A

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?

Ok so i was reading though an old cannabis growing book and came across a technique that looks amazing but a lot of fucking around. you get a plant and LST it off to one side as normal, but they reckon you can take the side branches going down and 'clone' them into the dirt and they become an extra root supplying the plant. o_O; same way you would take a clone but you propagate the end into a root system .... so it becomes like a creeper plant. kinda like this EDIT! It's my 1000th post YAY!

ok guys here are afew pics,had to get on the laptop todo it. i'm growing sensi big bud feminised seeds.they are doing well so far.only been watering them with ph balanced rain water.no nutes what so ever.as you can see underneath the screen is a jungle with nice fat indica leaves and flower sites that aren't going to make the screen.i've really tried to keep the canopy even.still could of veg alittle longer but just was alittle unsure how they would stretch.almost filled my screen tho.all were topped at about 2weeks and alittle lst to spread them around alittle and bring up afew more bud sites,as I said guys this is my first scrog attempt so I think I've done ok so far.…

Hey guys, got a rdwc 4 bucket system. Ph 5.5, ppms generally 500. Dutch master a and b veg, zone, silica and calmag all at half strength. I'm getting signs of nute burn/calmag deficiency yet that can't be the issue. I had root rot at the start due to high temps but sorted that with a chiller and lots of zone and time. Root mass is pretty much pearly white now and I get plenty of new growth. I only get these issues on older fan leaves. Anyone shed light as to what's happening? http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/30/a7b58988f10cf7c343766b6da27e61a0.jpghttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/30/160092d2fd246bc4d3be823f09b3434d.jpg Thanks in advance guys
