General Cultivation Q&A

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.…

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and my first post here. I recently moved from Sydney to Canberra and I've been struggling with a shortage of weed. I don't have the balls to just go around asking people for Marijuana, and i've even made the occassional trip up to Sydney to meet old mates to get some but it's so much effort. Since taking up smoking it's really helped with my depression. I'm interested in growing my own marijuana for a hobbie and mainly for self benefit so I don't run out. I've found some seedbanks and picked out a few strains. What i'd like to know is is it easy to be caught for purchasing seeds online? Having such extreme winters and summers here i hop…

Hi Can anyone pinpoint what the problem is here? The new leaves are curling up and the colour is pale. It is a pinapple chunk, in canna coco with a little perlite. Feeding weak nutrients at 5.8-9 ph. The tip of one of the 1st sets of leaves is brown, which looks a bit like nute burn, but I would expect the colour to have got better before any burning happened - its been a light green pretty much from the start. I have been thinking it may have been heat so ive lowered the rack a little. There is a power plant next to it in the same mix getting the same nutes which isn't showing any ill effects. P Chunk Power Plant Power Plant seems to be showing a …
