General Cultivation Q&A

Hey all A friend of mine has been told the best lighting times for flowering is 9hrs on, 15hrs off for the entire flowering stage... My mate is gonna give it a go for his next grow, so we will so what happens or I've never heard of this, has anybody else?

Are there many/any strains that will grow to full size in such a small pot?

I decided to post this topic as I am growing using seasol as a base and I appear to be doing allright. It will also give me an opportunity to learn from others who have already done this. Firstly, I have chosen to hand water, growing in individual pots, in a mix of perlite, potting mix and seed raising mix with some worm castings worked through it. Equal portions of each medium with about 1 ltr of castings. Now, for seedling/clones, I use 1ml per ltr of seasol, 1ml per ltr of powerfeed, 1/2 ml per ltr roots excellerator. ( Van der Zwann) Early veg, 2ml per ltr powerfeed, 1ml per ltr seasol, 1/2 ml roots excel and 1ml per ltr multi zyme, ( again, Van der Zwann) Peak veg, 2…

Hey guys, There are so many advanced things being discussed here it's making my head spin. I've never grown anything before (not even a flower or tomatoes or shit) and have no plant knowledge.... I just had a walk through flower power and couldn't see any of the stuff being mentioned here... All I really want is 2 or 3 plants, grown indoors with a simple light setup, no fancy hydro Please can I have some basic soil advice? If I can get it at an ordinary plant shop or readily off an australian site that would be great... also what I should use to fertilize my babies and how often etc... like I said I know NOTHING but am very willing to learn... the main problem I'm …

I am growing for seeds as cloneing did not take for me.. My buds are loaded, sticky but the seeds remain white.. My leves are dieing off.. Is this part of the matureing prosess? What should I watch for to know when to harvest?

Hey i have a question regarding ozone machines. Have there been any improvements to their desgn in the past couple of years? And in your experience/opinion.... Ozone or Carbon filter? Thanks

I usually grow 2 plants vegged for 4-5 weeks under 400watt, cut clones then put both plants under a 1000 watt HPS. I have recently decided to get rid of my veg room and grow a dozen smaller plants, veg them for about 10 days, cut the crowns out of them, and use them for clones. Is there anything wrong with this method? Will it have a detrimental affect on the clones having to keep them for 6-7 weeks before they start to veg. Appreciate all thoughts and comments. Aussie

Just before i begin let me assure you, I know this is one of the most opinionated and debated questions when it comes to growing. Ok...so im currently planning my first grow and trust me, ive done my homework. But I think ive done too much homework because Im so confused what medium to use. Now I'm not asking which is the best one blah blah...I just have need a few things put in perspective. (im planning an indoor grow, hand watered w/ added neuts.) Now my first medium idea was 75% perlite - 25% vermiculite but I read somewhere else that general purpose sand needed to be added to anchor the plant door. Is that true or is 75%P-25%P a good mix as is? I was also cons…

Hi all.... I've always had good results (good for my standards anyway ) without using any additives in my res, but am starting to wonder what people are using?

As Ive said before I have never grown this stuff before and my first attempt is an auto grown inside that gets moved around the house during the day to take full advantage of the sun from daylight to sunset. The seed bank blurb claims that this variety will flower 9 weeks from seed, but the thing is now 92 days from seed and appears to be still growing. Ive studied the forums checking out various pics and comments about autos and from that it seems to me that autos grow for a reasonably short period then just do their thing. Mine seems to just want to keep growing and if it wasn't tied down and growing in lateral circles (to keep it the height down a bit) the two le…

I was wondering what people are doing to enrich there grow area without the use of co2 bottles. I've read about using yeast with warm water.
