General Cultivation Q&A

Howdy Folks, I am having a bit of a problem with crowding in the tent, hopefully the situation will resolve itself a bit when i pull some males out in the next week or so but the light is not really reaching the bottom branches very well. I was thinking about clipping some of the huge fan leaves to let some light through. Is there any process that i should follow such as only take one from a pair? do the big fan leaves really do much as far as light absorbtion? i would imagine they are necessary for good growth but is it going to hurt if i remove as much as 50% ? Any help would be much appreciated. Cheers Z

Hi there, How's it going? Just looking for some advice on the best way to start seedlings. Was going to use Canna terra pro but have read comments about it being too strong to start seedlings off in and getting nutrient burn, some say its ok. Was wondering if anyone has any experience with this, and if true what mix\brand is the best way to start them before transplanting to canna terra? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. Cheers

Hi, all. Have been reading alot about auto's and have found one of the common occurences is 'feminized' seeds 'turning' male because of stress. Conversely this would mean that masculinized seeds would turn female under the same stress..? If not, then this would mean that there is something about the nature of the plant that 'wants' it to turn male, presumably for survival purposes, though I can't see the advantage for the plant in this. I don't understand the mechanism behind stress induced sex changes and (after the small amount of research I've done mehe) am starting to doubt that there is one. Could this not be seeds being sold which have been bred in a manner wh…

OK I give up. What is bagseed? Where does one get it usually - seedbank, growers? How much in $, for how much in weight/number etc etc etc. And yes, I can figure it's a bag of mj seeds

as the title says , i ve never grown before but it becoming my only option really ( if this is in wrong section, my bad) what is the easiest and cheapest way to do this? will be purely for personaly use, however i am quiet a heavy smoker atm..well maybe im not compared to others on here, but its the heaviest ive ever smoked it.. im guessing an ounce would last a month give or take sick if driving 2 hours each way to get my weed, dont know anywhere in bris so i think growing it myself is a must. how long does it take from starting till when you can start smoking it? does it use a shitload of electricity i cant really afford at this stage anything too flash or exp…

Hey all, when growing my last seedlings all strains except cole train seemed to do well outside, im not sure why but this particular strain did not want to grow a second internode or any true leaves, I tried a second time as summer had taken hold but the leaves dryed out and so I put her back in the tent which was running at 12 12 after about 5 weeks one little flower had grown on top of each plants, worrying about numbers i decided to cull them as i was not going to get any "yield" to speak of. But instead i couldn't end their life after I had given them so much attention already so I plucked off the top set of leaves(not that there was much left) and flower and planted …

G'day, Ozstoners. Opened the tent this arvo and what seemed like thousands of tiny black flies took of in every direction. They havn't come back in any great number since. I also noticed a bit of mouldy/algae water in the corner of the tent. Has anyone else had anything like this happen to 'em? Would be good to know what these things are for future reference. Poice.
