General Cultivation Q&A

I'm about to embark on an indoor grow and am keen to get a harvest asap. I will be using regular seeds from Southern Star Seeds and have read so much info my head is swimming with the best way to go about it. I was thinking of planting 15 or so seeds and veging for minimum time [say 2 weeks] before going 12/12 but was reading Cervantes' Marijuana Horticulture and he says that inducing flowering before plants show pre-flowers can cause hermaphrodites. Which way to go? Should I sex them by reducing the light period very early, weed out the males and then increase photoperiod again for a while before inducing flowering [seemed like it would take too long for my liking…

So judge has his new house, no landlord. Perfect stealth room with really nice (expensive) epuipment. But ill tell the missus it was cheap. So its like in a basement but think only one side underground and the other side open. In short the house is on a hill but the block.is only half cut. My room is buit down in this area. Pictures to come I'm proud as fuck to put it lightly The point : im getting 70% humidity I'm thinking this will be cool for veg but worried about flowering. I was thinking I might need to pump fresh air in the void under the house where there's dirt. I'll Get internet in a week so then I can upload some pictures. So happy

Okay so I am using a 400w HPS light in a grow tent lined with mylar film. I have a fan in the tent to keep some nice ventilation going. In veg, my light schedule is 14/12 and in flower my light schedule is 12/12. I have cultivated some pretty nice plants using fox farms nutes but all 4 plants I have grown have all turned male. My luck is great, I know. I recently ordered some femininized seeds to help my terrible odds. I also use fox farms soil in 1 gallon pots. Any tips? Thanks any and all criticism will be helpful.

Any topics or links to a full cloning guide I have a nice plant I am looking to clone off? Thanks!

I'm reading more and more I'm going to try with some crap seeds/strain first, Does anyone use the lava hydroponic rocks (orange round rocks) to grow, ? Any tips on growing outdoors with how much sun they should get. Thanks

Hey guys Male or female?

Hi All, I was wondering if any one has had any experience using the B.A.C range. It was recommended to me at my local store as a better and cheaper alternative to Canna. My local has started stocking this brand. My friends back in Europe tell me this is widely used there. I'm considering the coco grow a&b and the coco bloom a&b additives: -Final solution (supposed to be great for treating water and keeping the system clean and healthy) -Root Stimulator (supposed to stimulate and keep roots healthy) -Bloom Stimulator (supposed to increase uptake of the roots) * I was told all three stimulate bacteria which works as an enzyme (instead of Cannazyme) - And last…

The title.

Went to my local hydro shop, bought 2 bags of coco (50L bags) and a 50L bag of perlite= $103.50....what the f##k?? And the guy is a grumpy prick...(don't do retail if your a grumpy prick) OK, so I could have gone some where else but right now my back is fucked and I just don't have the time, I need to get the ball rolling. This seems outrageous to me. Wont be getting my business ever again. Peace, John

hello lovley forum members!! im currently living on an island in SA (its named after a jumping animal ive started a small grow 2-3 plants. i started about 2weeks ago and left them outside during the day and brought them inside away from the cold at night, they got about 7-9hrs of sunlight a day. as the weathers getting shitier i got 2 cfl's (25watt) and keep them inside under them when its cold or wet and windy, and take them outside when its nice and sunny. im probably going to keep them in some form of light 24hr, so ill get strong sustainable stems, for once it warms up a little and they're mature enough im going to plant them outside. so thats me!! hey! my questio…

Hey guys, i was just curious to see if anybody has tried to grow a plant from seedling for about 2 months if that, in soil, keeping it in its vegetative stage indoors under lights, then dumped it outside at the start of november to let it finish its life cycle outdoors, (flowering season is around about the start of february in my part of the country). I was thinking of doing this with getting results of some big plants, i know it also depends on the strain and many other things, but say if it was a strong sativa that was renown for growing 8ft+ would it do well ? and what strain would you recommend ? First post so hope it isn't too shabby, anyways, bong on!
