General Cultivation Q&A

Hi guys, I just wanted to get a bit of a discussion going with people using growool as their medium. I am interested in what people are setting there Ph at and the feeding regime. I have always been of the opinion that wool works best with the Ph a little lower, around the 5.5 to 5.8 range. I am interested to see what others do in wool?

Hi everyone, I'm about to start a compact indoor grow under a couple of 80W CFL's, height of my space is 1.2m, plants will be transferred outdoors into the ground after 8 weeks. How much growth can I expect in 8 weeks in a perfect scenario and what size pot's should I be using? I'd prefer to not have to re-pot during the 8 weeks. Greentoe

Hey everyone, Just wondering if someone could give me a rough estimate of what running a 600w hid digital ballast, fan, heater could cost each billing cycle?

In the order form for Herbies it asks for a phone number, do you need to use a phone? Does Herbies need to contact you?

Okay so brief history on the grow so far. I am on day 38 since the I flipped to 12/12. Set up: I am growing using 70/30 coco/perlite in Autopots. 2 x DR240w tents with 2 x 600w HPS in vertical parabolic reflectors. Both tents have their own reservoir but they are on the same schedule. Food: I've been using Canna nutes at the regular feed amount per their schedule, along with Rhizotonic & Cannazym. I also use Canna PK 13/14 However Canna recommend only to use this for one week. In all of my previous grows I use usually 2 weeks before and 2 weeks after their suggested time starting at 1/3 strength then 2/3 with full does in the middle. I've never had any issues …

What will happen if plants are grown using a more frequent light phase of 8/4? ie 2 phases per day. Mainly interested in photoperiod strains.

Hi guys n girls, how's things? I'm currently getting ready for the up coming grow season.. I've got a variety of seeds that can't wait to pop.. og kush, pineapple kush and 3 different bagseed strains. I will start the seeds sometime next month, in the mean time I am gathering equipment, nutes etc. I've found a beaut little spot, Nth E facing gully with a nice little Creek too. I went to bunnings today to get a few things, and a grabbed a bag of richgro blood meal to add to my soil mix. The directions on the back only write about adding to the soil by the square metre and not cubic measures, is there a way of converting it accurately? Sorry, I am no mathematician,

I'm really confused by products such as rockwool and coco coir as a seed raising medium. Are they only used in hydro setups? what are their pros/cons? Previously I've only tried basic outdoor grows but this grow season I'm experimenting a bit and starting my seedlings under lights indoors and moving them outdoors after 2-3 months depending on their growth. I've only ever used a typical seed raising mix from Bunnings, with a roughly 90% success rate, but from my research I've noticed everyone doing an indoor grow uses rockwool or coco coir(?). I will not be germinating in the medium, I will be hand watering while indoors and watering with a drip system while outdoors and …
