General Cultivation Q&A

Anyone tried this strain from soma seeds? multiple cannabis cup runners up. Suppose to smell and taste like grapefruit! Can anyone corroborate this? also interested in some of the other Soma strains like: Somango, Amnesia Haze, Any feedback will be appreciated!

This is probably one of the most expensive strains on the Sensi seeds catalogue. 180$ for the fem seeds! Has anyone tried it? is it just that much better then the competition?

Okay, I was just curious as to the answer, hermaphrodites. If you have a hermie, and you cut clones from the female branches, prior to pollination, will they grow female plants, or simply replicate the mother/father? It is my understanding that a self pollinated hermaphrodite produces hermaphrodite seed, is this a correct assumption?

Hey all. So i have been wondering if there is a light colour/spectrum that can be used during lights out time? I went searching and read an article on another site/forum where a grower said he used a standard green coloured bulb in his grow space if he needed to do any work during the lights out period. And that it hadn't affected the plants cycle at all. ? Can anyone shed anymore light on tthe subject? yNg

i've been having something odd occur of late. my run off ph has consistently been 7.1 or 7.2 no matter the ph of water going in. it's usually 6.0 or very close to. i've got dolomite in there doing it's thing but my understanding is lime doesn't buffer higher than 7 - am i wrong? also i've heard from one source that an over abundance of microbes to fungi in the mix can throw the balance out in this direction (i use aerated tea with focus on bacteria) - is this true? the girls are looking healthy enough but theres some twisting in the new leaves so something's out. i have added more dolomite than i usually would with this mix, should i just keep on with what im doing or w…

I have been using one of these new UV filters in my fish tank, and was wondering......... What if you could run DWC with NO bacteria, and therefore, just nutes, and no enzymes etc or H2o2 to clean your system....... could be worth a shot. In case ya wondering, it passes the water past a sealed UV lamp, that sterilizes the water. There is an indicator light on control box, if lamp ever fails, it goes out Cleans 120L per hour, and this lil 9Wer will do a 200L tank. Was about $90 at a pet shop, just released for aquariums. Any ideas, or discussion on this welcome, as I dont do DWC , but thought may be helpful for someone out there, or for people wanting to scrub water of …

Hi there ok 15 yrs ago I decided to buy a 600 watt Hydro light bulb and electric nutrient stick to measure ph. However a week later just as I was ready to start growing I broke up with my X and fear of her dobbing me in decided to pack it all away and never bothered to grow. Well 15 years later here i am and am thinking about growing again however am wondering if all my gear is still usable ? I am pretty sure the ballast should be ok my main concern is the light bulb and the nutrient stick guesing that even though the bulb has never been turned on is probably buggered by now and the nutrient stick even though never used the battery is probably dead and dont know if…
