General Cultivation Q&A

Just over a month ago I checked some plants and I was like I might give cloning ago without any real idea or knowledge how to. I cut three low growing growths plant was about two weeks into flowering. I got a Chinese plastic food container filled up with water and cut three holes in it and cut some Styrofoam up and cut three holes and sat it on top of the container, then placed the off cuts into the holes. changed the water every 1-3 days to keep the water fresh as I don't have an air bubbler. But 3 weeks later I transferred them to soil as I didn't see any growth but they weren't dieing. now its been two weeks and I transfer them to a bit bigger pots and the roots have g…

So you've had it with your local dealer and or the police have made it impossible to find a smoke. You have a pocket full of cash and your not high (and you have enough sence to STAY AWAY from syntetic alternatives) I noticed it was with some haste that 'someone' posted up. "So what the cheepest good soil that will keep a plant alive" satified with their research they signed off headed for Bunnings. It got me thinking if I could say something to that keen as HIGHLY motivated individual... Growing your own will be the most satifying experince? defn smoke you will have do and have. However, if you have cracked a 'bag seed'; somethign that 'found you' along the way. Then tha…

Hi Guys, here are some pics of a new set up I have been playing with. I have been using hand watered coco in pots for about 18months and finally decided to upgrade to automated. I have some questions regarding the setup I'm hoping someone can help with. Hopefully you can see from the pics above, this system is basically a frame and baskets above a long res, with water pumped up into the baskets and flowing back down into the res. I will be using clay balls as a medium. So I have got some advice from a good mate who also grows, also with a recirc system in clay balls, and from the mate I purchased this set up from, but both lots of advice about feeding cycles seem to c…

Hey all, I'm a long time grass city member, but new the the oz stoner community, I'm looking for some advice on guerilla growing in tasmania, and looking to find some like minded individuals from the apple isle.

I wanted to set up an indicator of sorts to let me know when a grow has finished its drying stage. To date all I could find are methods that have to disturb the plant as its drying. I want to keep my hands off the girls for as long as possible in an attempt to keep the sweet sugar right where it belongs. This would be a good sized branch with a cuppla buds on it from the lower branches. I've attached a peg to the end of the stalk as the big heavy wet buds dry they become lighter than the pegs and they pop up into the air. Here they are after one night drying. The other cuttings, in a ventelated dark area, remain undisturbed until this one is finished drying. The last tim…

Hi Guys So..I made the mistake listed in the newbies mistakes growing guide....i took my first seeds from a seeded plant that I think may have been a hermie... Anyway 5 weeks on , planted about 10 seeds , a few died , left with about 4 plants. My very first grow so I wanted to play around with these plants before I planted my proper autoflowering feminised ones..... It seems while mature , the plants are stunted. They are very small and don't seem to want to grow PH levels are fine , put in 1.4 strength nutes , getting enough light....could this possibly be a sign of hermaphroditism? The biggest plant is only 3 weeks old! ( in photo of 4 plants , bottom left) bu…
