General Cultivation Q&A

I've got a 80ltre plastic tub with a few holes drilled into the lid the sides and bottom I was wondering if it would create a good high humidity environment for seedlings

hey all just went to bunnings to get some cleaning sprays , I decided to have a walk thru the garden section was lookin at ferts ect. When i spotted a range of hydro nutes , fairly cheap. so hey grab myself the ( $18 for 1L) PK 13-14 to give it a try ..they also had root promoter and what looked to be a bloom 1 part.. ( found info on them here) ----> http://pascoes.freshdesk.com/support/articles/35703-the-proganics-range For all starting/1st grow on a budget maybe try these... :greedy:

Hey all So, i smoke to ease pain/sensations due to nerve damage caused by an epidural. And i want to grow for personal use but i have minimal to no room >.< Appreciating any suggestions on small/cheaper setups. Had a great thing going over at my friends but she decided to up and out with no word and left me hanging. i dont know alot of people who know anything about it let alone growing it. But its the only thing that helps with my symptoms. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Alright so I want to start growing, I'm going to be getting some seeds off a mate in about a weeks time. I'm going to be growing outdoors in the bush near by where I live. Now I have no experience what so ever on growing so if someone can give me a guide on growing outdoors that will be great! Also all tips are greatly appriecated. I'm wanting to grow around 5-10 plants in this bush, what area should I be planting them in? Should I be planting them under shade, or right in the open? When do I have to water them? Is it to late to start growing? Like I said I know nothing what so ever so any knowledge given to me would be mad. Oh and these are called bushys hey? Cheers.

It has become apparent from reading all the advice in the forum that I need a TDS / EC meter. I've done a bit of looking and I can get a cheap one from Hong Kong for about $35 - would this do the trick or too cheap and nasty? I note that the hydro store where I usually purchase stuff from has meters that are $70 to $130 although I'd like not to spend that much if I can avoid it. Things have changed a lot since I used to grow in the 90s - I didn't even know to check ph then let alone EC and TDS!

Hi guys, My apploigies if this is already posted somewhere but I couldnt find it with the search engine and Im runing short on time. I accidently dropped too many seeds into a cup of water when germinating, there are 2 too many and they have been in there for about 6hrs. So my question is, if they havent cracked yet and are still floating is it possible to dry them out and put them in the fridge again or have they more than likely broken domancy and if I dry them out they will die? I really want to save them, they are my last ones and I dont have the room for them. Thank you!

Hi, I'm very new to growing indoors & have 2 fem's under a 600 hps in perlite. I was wondering if anyone here has used monsta bud indoors ?

What temp should my tent be, off & on ? It's currently on 12/12. When it's off, should I have air intake fan off as well as circ fan ? My current temp of tent when on is 30-33 c Please help

Hi, I have been an occasional smoker since high school (once every few weeks / months), but a few years ago was diagnosed with crones.. I have always noticed how much pot helped practically every problem associated with crones but due to age / social stigma, ignored it and continued with meds (that did very little most the time)... Sadly I had a few flair ups lately and access to pot... Its almost scary how quickly I noticed the pain and problems associated with crones reduce (literally, it was like I felt the pain going as the smoke was inhaled... unbelievable imo) I am really interested in growing my own, but I have no idea what the best seed would be for NSW, Aus…

Hi, has anyone used monsta bud in Hyde for flowering ? If so please post results & info, thanks.
