General Cultivation Q&A

Hi, new to this forum. This is my first grow. Growing in soil and perlite under 300 true watt led and 130 watt cfl, the strains are ghs great white shark and dna genetics choc fondue. They are 2.5 weeks into flower. How do they look to the more seasoned growers? Will take some more pics tonight.

Hey guys, my outdoor sativas are in there first month of summer and have began to show their sex. I have six in total. Two i haven't checked as they are not at the same location as my other 4. But 3 are defiantly female with the classic white hairs coming out in a V shape. BUT my healthiest plant of all, the tallest, the one i have taken the best care of im not too sure about... I have supplied pics, and after much searching i found some hairs but they are brown/orange!! And i accidentally broke off a little piece of plant near it. SO it female?? im really hopping... and if it is are the brown hairs a major problem?? Thanks guys.

Has anyone tried to clone kosher kush as i am having trouble getting them to root. i am also doing some deadhead Og and am getting nearly 100 percent strike rate just wanted to know if kosher kush has a reputation for been hard to clone. Thanks in advance

Guys.. This year round im having terrible trouble raising my outdoor seedlings... 4 autos I have which are "super autos" that actually do very well been raised outdoors are pretty much stunted. Due to sydneys hot weather I'm not sure and a dodgy ph pen Im waiting for replacement from ebay. I also found a mazar seedling (non autoflower) that I had in a pot. and forgot about with a 70%coco and 30% worm mix.. Its been raining after our storms and its the third week now and it still looks like its JUST risen about the soil with its first tiny set of staggered leaves.. pathetic !!! Ive swapped houses and use to have a fluro tube setup. I had no problem raising seedlings to t…

so the very bottom leaves on a few of my 8 week old plants are turning yellow, but the rest of the plant looks relatively healthy. plants have been outdoors their entire life, watered every second day (when necessary), get a weak solution of soluble all purpose plant food once a week and are still in their original pots which contain seed raising mix (about to move them into the ground though) have tried searching this on the forum but there's topics on everything from potassium deficiency to heat stress. Any thoughts experienced members?

Have been growing my own for around the last 10 years and I am thinking about getting hold of some seeds and find that there are some types that are "autoflowering". What does this mean and what are the characteristics of plant ?

Am I right in saying my plant here is a female? If yes all my plants (10+) from bag seed are female, is this possible? or am i sexing the others wrong?

Hi everyone, I need help with sexing some plants - they have outgrown their 1L airpots and I only want to transplant keepers [female]. They are all the same strain [Mandala 8 Miles High]. There are 2 plants showing what appear to be calyxes but no pistils [1st and last pics] - can these still be male? or am I safe to assume they're female. And 2 that look to have male pre-flowers [2nd and 3rd pics]. I'd really appreciate if someone, with more experience than I, can confirm these for me.

Hi everyone, So I was reading the pub ammo in ZOO magazine today and it say's "plants are able to recognise their close relatives and grow less aggressively when surrounded by "family members"" not sure how true this is though. Thought I'd just put it out there. Btw anyone here ever tried to make a solar led grow setup? Thanks

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
