General Cultivation Q&A

So after reading (without hyperbole) thousands upon thousands of pages in forums on cloning autflowers and seeing the same thing said about the subject, repeated verbatim, as if it was some hypnotic mantra, I decided to give it a go. I was expecting exactly what everyone was telling me to expect - Having the plant be the same age, genetically, as the mother plant and only harvesting a small cola at the same time as the mother plant begins to end her flowering period. I have now had this clone blossom into a very healthy and independant plant. The mother is approaching the end of it's flowering cycle, and these two plants are at what appear to be two completely unique …

As my man mong stated maybe a case of fox tailing, 4 plants left (5 were maphs) grown in canna coco The canna range, half scroged under 600 hps, if u note the bud to the right, its fat thick an bout 45 cm long looks good heaps a white hairs still, but some still seem to be stretching, going to take the lights back to 11/13 Just looks strange, soz for the avrage pic.

Hello Does any one know where to buy colloidal silvers and do you guys have any advice on useing it on autos. Thank you

For all of those who use power on the grid, has anyone noticed a significant rise in costs?

Hi all Started to notice my bubble count dropping off on my dwc and some very light slime forming so I've decided its time for a new air pump and my question is how much air is too much? Current pump is double outlet both @ 2.5l/min. Looking at getting one of the electoemagnetic air pumps @ 20l/min. Would this be too much air for 2 10lt dwc res tanks if I split it between the 2?

The Claw! Anyone who has played around with hydro will probably run into this problem, but what the hell is it? and why do you see it linked with so many different problems to grows with seemingly no problems? If you think about a common cause for a case of the Claw eg high temps, what happens? Temperature at the root zone rises to a level that causes conductivity and ph to soar at the root zone to dangerous and sometimes fatal levels. That is it in a nut shell. The ways that problem can be produced is many and varied, as are the end results. Root bound? sure, fresh nute solution can't wash away root exudes OR provide fresh oxygen around the root zone, conductivit…

I think this is probably a long shot, but im wondering if anyone has tried growing weed aquaponically? Aquaponics is sort of like hydroponics combined with aquaculture, where you grow fish and plants together and the fish produce fertiliser for the plants, and the plants eat up the fertiliser so the water is nice an clean for the fishies I think its really really interesting! I grew some pretty good strawberries and basil and lettuce and stuff this way before i moved recently, and im really keen to find out if weed can be grown this way.

Hi Guys, I will make this my grow thread because I will surely need alot of help. I'll try to keep it all in this thread with updates and questions. I'm planning my first grow with autoflowers so I can get in a harvest and start a 2nd proper grow after I have a stash to medicate with. I'm gathering up all materials, just ordered seeds last night 2x Blueberry Dutch Passion Fem Auto and 3x Auto Jack 47 Fem Auto. If I can get 1 small harvest from a couple Autos then it'll hold me over until I start a proper grow. I already received the 4 unit Autopot system with the 37L reservoir and 7 gallon buckets. This will be my watering system. I'm sure I'll need help from seed…

Every time I fire up my grow light everything metallic in my room becomes live and gives me a heavy jolt which sucks a bit. I've tried unplugging the ballast and no electrocution, I've tried just running the timer and that's not it so it must be the frigging ballast (400/600 watt solistek dimmable) When I touch a metal object I get jolted every 30 seconds or so, It's not continuous so it seems like a capacitor charging and discharging which almost certainly means it's the ballast.(this only happens when the ballast and light are on). Has anyone here encountered this problem before and does anyone have any ideas on what it may be. I'm baffled and I don't have a multimeter …

hi guys and girls just wondering who is using these 80w that have a shit load of output. im currently using 130w in the cupboard and not really impressed with the growth rate. basically asking if the people that previously used 130w notice a difference in growth rate compared to a 80w?
