General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all. This is my first post. I hope I've put it in the right place and that it's appropriate content. I just wanted to report an excellent experience that I had with the wonderful folk at Herbie's Head Shop. I bought a small amount of seeds from them (with a few freebies thrown in). There are two things that I want to emphasize about my experience with them. Great customer service, and when my first package was seized by customs (arseholes...) I notified them and they immediately sent an identical replacement package, which arrived a few days later. The first package used 'stealth packaging', selected via their web order form. The second package did not use steal…

Hi All Just a quick question regarding chillers. Currently have a traditional bubbler/dwc setup with a external rez. Grow room temps are getting a little bit high but water temps concern me more. I am currently in the market for a chiller. Q1. What i was thinking with my current setup is if i have a pump in the rez pumping to the chiller, then the return tube split into four separate feeds feeding each bucket. Would this kinda be a recirculating system? Would this be the best way to ensure the cold water is distributed to all the buckets or would just having the return into the rez cool all the buckets to a even temp over a hour or two. Q2. Grow room temps are reach…

Good day all Was just wondering at what stage should I start introducing fans onto my plant? should the breeze from the fan be consistent or set on a timer? Thanks in advance for any help

Hi guys, last year on my mazar grow I got 8 ounces of beautiful bud. Well in that bud I found one seed! it looks viable. Just wondering will this be female? because it came off a female? Thanks guys!

www.herbiesheadshop.com Is this a good place to buy them from? People also say don't use PayPal as you can get tracked what about using a VPN & fake info? But please answer if that website is decent, and experience? Might buy AK-47 & Nothern lights. Thanks

Thought id briefly post my thoughts on changing from coco/perlite to DWC. Well yeah Im pretty happy... NO MORE FLUSHING!!! Less maintainance

apart from slower growth of the plant, would growing MJ outdoor hydroponically have any difference in the final bud ?? compared with indoor under light?

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
