General Cultivation Q&A

How long should I let my plants flower for ? They're in a grow tent with a 600 hps.

Has anyone had this happen? Since i am new to the game (2 and a bit years and only about 20 plants into my gardening career) it's never happened but a few weeks ago one of my girls, an auto (Dr Feelgood) was ready to harvest then overnight i noticed all these new pistils appearing..so i decided to leave it for another week..flushed her and within 3 days all the bud sites started to swell again! 2 weeks on and the tops have all doubled in size! This strain has been weird for an auto casue it stopped flowering for a few weeks (started flowering right on day 18) and then resumed flowering in a short time frame and caught up on the days that she wasnt flowering. So now i …

Hey guys what's up First time grower here just wondering if you guys think my plant is ready for the big pot yet ?? Cheers

My place is visible to neighbours from every direction but I do have a few bushy garden beds that I want to sneak a few plants into and am trying to identify some really short varieties to put along the border where they will get some sun and being so small people wont really notice them. I remember a long time back seeing a variety that supposedly only grew to about 3o-40cm but didn't pay much attention as at the time I didn't think it would of any use to me but now that I want something like that, with all my hunting so far I have only been able to find some low THC autos around 90cm (outdoor height). Anyone know of some dwarf varieties not getting above 40cm or ma…

Hello every one was looking at some different pots to use for hydro ....want to get different pots then what I have I use the cheap black ones from bunnings ...........

The hippy husband saw a report on t.v about the banning of sunbeds. Reckons we should pick one up cheap at auction and raise the babies with that.

Hi Everyone, First I'd like to say hi to everyone here, this is my first post!! I have been thinking about having my own stuff at home rather than the late night dodgy deals that go on, and finally came to a conclusion that suits my needs. This below option seemed like a good one for noobs like me that are still trying to get their head around the whole indoor grow thing but still want speedy results so I got one - I have ordered a "Sungarden" indoor garden kit. It's basically a whole bunch of LEDs at the top and a shelf below for soil and another shelf below that for water, that uses a wicking technology... This means the lower tray is filled with water and th…

Next door neighbour lent me a gardening book written by Esther Dean. "growing without digging" really good book. Don't know if this works yet. Will be giving it a try sometime today.

hey guys, my seedlings have been going for nearly 2 weeks now, they all look nice bright green and very happy, but i have one skunk that i have put in, the seed was about a year old and whilst the seedling was starting to pop out of the ground it appeared to have either 3 water leaves and i thought it looked odd so i just left if be to see if it would change but the plant hasn't changed at all really its growing its first set of leaves and its growing in a group of 3 instead of the regular 2, any reasons as to why this could be happening or if its a good or a bad thing, i've just never seen it before even though this is only my 2nd season.. 3 leafed clover = lucky 3 lea…
