General Cultivation Q&A

Been a long while since I've been on the boards, had a little hiccup with the last grow and had to shut it down early. Did a Jack 33 in coco since then and everything went fine. I'm pretty much over my LED experiment now (maybe once more). Been thinking about trying out organic growing so as not to worry about ppm/ph and bottles of shit. I've been using this mix for my tomato's and they're fucking huge. Wondering if some of you organic type growers could critic my mix and let me know if this will work for cannabis? 20L Organic Potting soil - Searles Garden Soil Mix 20L Organic Compost - Searles Real Compost Mix 10L 50/50 Perlite/Vermiculite 5L Cow Manure If…

G'day guys, So recently the lower leaves of my plant have started turning yellow, and has made its way up the plant, i have read up on it and said that it was lack of nitrogen? i added a little bit of miracre grow which has a good dose in it (i know this burns plants easy so i only used a few pinches) and it hasnt helped, i changed the soil from just normal potting mix to 1/3 organic potting mix 1/3 cow manure 1/3 mushroom compost and it has got worse, im unsure what to do as theres so many mixed opions online, so i joined the ausise comunity for local advice, does the leaves turn from ph being too high or low? All help appreciated, it has started to flower also …

Hello, I'm a bit concerned that most of my plants are male.... This happened last year, but just before they started to flower most of the plants that seemed male showed female hairs! I'm in the same situation this year, it's Jan' so pretty late in the season. I hope they're not mostly male! Does anyone have this kind of experience with plants showing female hairs at a very late stage? Cheers :-)

Just a bit of nutrients news i thought i would share. Advanced Nutrients now has an Australian distributor and will soon be on the shelves of a lot of hydro shops. They have quite a few interesting sounding products like Bud candy, Bud factor x, Kushie Kush, Big Bud, Overdrive, just to name a few. They are all designed for specifically growing cannabis, so id love to give them a try. Hopefully they won't be too expensive.

Got a couple of bags of this laying around. I've been guilty of buying crap potting mixes in the past(as a lot of us have) and wonder.... Good or garbage? http://www.scottsaustralia.com.au/osmocote/osmocote-professional-potting-mix/osmocote-professional-rose,-gardenia,-azalea-camellia-mix/

hi can anyone recommend commercially available ferts for outdoors growing..both veg and flowering time? thanks

Was doing some research on Fulvic acid tonight and stumbled across an interesting bit of information. You can actually make your own Fulvic acid using just white vinegar and peat moss! Grab 500g of peat moss Add it to 1.5L of white vinegar Leave the solution for 2 days Strain out the composted peat moss Use at a dilution rate of 1ml per liter of solution I assume will not be as pure as the fulvic acid you can buy in shops (if its made correctly anyway), however it should will be plenty good for gardening purposes as long as your vinegar contains only CH3CO2H + water ! Have not tried this myself, so you might just want to test on an unimportant plant in the garden be…

Hey everyone! I'm a newb here, also a newb in cultivation, this is my first ever grow. Been doing craploads of reading and trying to take it all in, but there are so many opinions that clash and it can all become a little confusing! My seedling was given to me rather sick. I wanted to do an outdoor deck grow (organic) and since transplanting it, it's been doing great.. until now. I've been feeding is a bit of Seasol, and also Fish Emulsion, but I think there's a nute deficiency (mainly Nitrogen), so I've been hunting around and Guano seems highly recommended. I'm gonna try out the Nature's Own Guano Super Grow and it states the average NPK is 10-10-2 (The Super Bloom is…

Unfortunately my pineapple kush has turned out to be male. I want to save the pollen & use it to make something else better. My question is how long til the pollen is viable, any help would be real cool.cool.
