General Cultivation Q&A

What's the best stuff to use here in OZ for Autoflowers that I can get at Bunnings or Big W or Coles? Someone has said before Yates Seedling starter. What else to add to this soil? Also, what is the best feed for autoflowers that you can get at Bunnings or elsewhere?

Hi all was reading a thread a wk or two ago on here bout making run to waste buckets out 20lt buckets, and cant find it again, beats me.. It's was nice an in depth, easy for me to understand... if anyone' knows of it or the owner could they drop me a line, cheers..

EBB-12 Ebb & Gro Hydroponic System • A smaller reservoir (55 gallons) can be used with less water compared to flood & drain tables. • Reservoir does not have to be lower than the plants! • The EBB-CTR controller is all you need to control all pumping and level control functions. • “Active” hydroponics system compared to rockwool resulting in faster growth and larger yields. Description The Ebb & Gro system is a multi-pot hydroponics system that uses two 2 gallon buckets and clay Hydroton as a growing medium. The two buckets are nested one on top of the other, the top bucket holds the Hydroton and the lower bucket holds and catches the nutrient water…

Just ordered a Cash Crop 2.7 - 6 Plant Hydroponics Grow Box and was wondering if when I start with the seeds do they all have to be the same kind, or can I use a variety? Thanks Doug

I have some outdoor sativas going from seeds which i got online. There are two clear phenotypes. One is doing clearly better than the other in my climate. Im aware enviromental factors effect phenotype. Im planning on breeding these plants for seeds. Now of course i will breed with the two healthiest plants of that helthier pheno type. BUT will these seeds still have that other pheno type in there gentics??? or others or am likley to just see more of that healthy phenos Cheers for help guys http://asset2.rollitup.org/smilies/icon_smile.gif

Gday, Does anyone know any good ideas for slowing growth for a particular branch? i've attached an amazing paint drawing to help illustrate what I mean Should the bottom set of branches just be pruned off as the sets above will always be shading it or is the a way to slow the upper branches so the bottom branches can make it clear out the side? Cheers ps. Id love to hear some peoples pruning methods for their plants. ie. Do you prune the branches to grow the same way every time like topping on the 4th set, taking off particular branches, the same amount of colas etc

SO i have some seeds i got off a mate. They were grown in my area outdoors and do very well (i seen). I live in Australia, victoria. They are a hybrid of some kind. I have them going now only just started in the green house. My question if i grew them in green house instead of outdoors like they were, and bred them for seeds, would these seeds be more suited to grow in the greenhouse when i planted them the next year? Or does it take a lot more generations than that? Would it weaken the genetic ability to grow outdoors?? Thanks

G'day guys Long time between posts but I've finally decided to get back into growing, have just sprouted 10 seeds and I'm planning to veg them under a 250 MH for a month before sticking them outside. Last time I grew I used canna nutes for vegging and I remember the directions for concentrations on the bottle actually caused nute burn to my babies. I had to reduce it quite a bit before they started to grow properly.....long story short I can't remember for the life of me what concentration I used that was effective. Can anybody help me with this?....I plan to veg these plants in coco

So i live in Australia so it was literally our first day of summer yesterday. I have some sativa in the ground started early going great. At the current rate they are likely to be over 7 foot by the end of season. BUT i also have some hybrid seedling in. (which i have grown before which was good) They are about 2 or so weeks old and are about an inch high. The longest day of the year is in about 3 weeks. What is likely to happen with these guys? What size will they likely get to? How long does it normally take for a plant to react to the shorting light hours when planted this late? i read somewhere that planting late can be better because you can have smaller plants but p…

My local shop sells this, was wondering if anybody has used it with good results? My local told me use it in flower week 5/6. http://rocknutrients.com/RockNutrientsImages/RockResinatorHeavyYieldsVertical.jpg I grow in coco and use canna products so i use all the usual canna nutes and also monsta bud as a supplement. Would it be worthwhile picking up a bottle and added to the nute schedule or will it be too much? He told me it just stimulates resin production. Bob

I have had a couple of successful grows, for the last 2 months I have been trying to get seeds going, I am going to run out of seeds soon because out of 3 lots I have tried to get going I haven't ended u getting any to bloody grow. Maybe the seeds are old but they are all I have, and now am down to the last few. I've tried soaking them sitting them on a damp make up pad in dark and heat, planting the buggers, I just can't get the bloody things to grow, any ideas for the last few I can't afford to stuff these ones up. Help

Hi all I am not new to growing, however the need has arisen for me to get some medicinal plants growing fast. I have ordered some seeds with high CBD and low THC which I expect to arrive in a couple of weeks. I would like to explore all of my options as far as growing them as organically as possible, but I am willing to compromise on some things to reduce problems (such as pest problems, soil problems- bacteria etc) Are there organic nutrients available in a Part A Part B or complete nutrient? Similar to regular nutrients? I have read a few things on the net where people are adding this, adding that, and it all sounds complicated. I have read alot about worm castings.…
