General Cultivation Q&A

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.

Has anybody ever experienced mushrooms growing in the soil right beside your dope plants. I'm using Canna's Bio Organic range & is in a 15Lt pot. Mushrooms are yellowish. Sorry no pics, as have no camera good enough.

I came across this post by backcountry 2009, thought it might be of use to Aussie growers suffering from the stifling heat. Here: .icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=128405 detail: icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=108418

Quick question, I know you can do it for tomatoes, but if you replant a cannabis plant, can you bury the trunk further than what it has been previously? With tomatoes if you repot them deeper they will send out roots from the trunk where it is covered with soil basically, does the same principal apply here or will doing that create trunk issues? Reason I ask is one of mine that was eaten has got one shoot regrowing, but right at the top of the plant. The trunk isn't that thick, and am concerned once it takes off that it will snap due to the weight being top heavy.

Get really high and ready for some real talk for once. Organic is great everything should be Organic. Why do I feel Hydro bud is worth more then Organic then? Organic fertilizers, soil, ect. are not great they are really high in arsenic and other heavy metals. Arsenic can be found in nature yet it kills most life, do I feel smoking it is better then say bud grown with General Hydroponics? Honestly, I would rather smoke GH. Weed shouldn't be grow or sprayed with Chemicals or Organics that are toxic or neurotoxins in any way, and should be priced accordingly in a higher manner. Monopotassium phosphate, dipotassium phosphate, ect. I stay far from. P.S fluorine is natural, …

Hi all About 8 weeks ago i didn't even know what a scrog was, but having done a bit of research am attempting it on my first ever grow. My gut feel is that my little bit of knowledge is probably dangerous in this situation and I will most likely regret my decision. So wanted to show you all how it looks and get some advice as to whether I should bother or is it too complex for a newb? Strain: train wreck by greenhouse seeds Age: about 6 weeks (grown from seed) Thanks P.S can't seem to attach pics via iPad, will do so in the morning on my laptop.

Hey guys doing a small grow with 2 skunk special plants scrog style with a 1.5m x 1.2m screen under 2 x 600w globes cos dont have room for a grow room at the moment. just wondering how tall the branches should be through the screen when i turn too 12/12 for flowering? does anyone know how much this strain will strech during flower?

Interestingly enough, after cultivating for 35 odd years, I have yet to discover if there is an ideal time of day/temperature/moon cycle/humidity/any other factor, for the pulling of the plant ceremony in order to achieve maximum efficiency. I have heard many interesting and some not very probable 'ideal' moments to rip em out. If there is any research I can do, or if anyone has already researched and can save me some moments of random concentration, I would truly appreciate your response. If you have heard dead certs from a mate or someone bragging at a party or school reunion, there is most likely to be little validity to the theory since no one in their right mind will…

First time poster here, just a quick question on pot size. A few years ago i was growing afghani and hindu kush, i was growing them in 140mm pots, good quality potting mix in good lighting in my orchid house. I'm assuming due to the pot size the plants would only get 15-20cm tall at max. I'm now getting back into cultivation, unfortunately i no longer have the pure strains any more so will just be growing bag seed. Again i will be growing outdoors. I plan to germinate indoors in jiffy pots then transplant outside into larger pots. Dont want anything too big just to make hiding a little easier if need be. What pot size would be recommended?
