General Cultivation Q&A

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.

Hi Guys, Just a quick question, I figured Nibbler can prob help me here, he seems to be to coco king, but others may know too! How exactly do I flush coco properly? I am running NF Mega Coco brick with NF Coco A + B in a hand watered run to waste system under a 400w HPS. I had originally planned to flush every week, but after learning how long it take for this stuff to dry out completely, I am re-assessing this. So I've read a fair bit on here so far, I'm watering/feeding to 10-20% run off only when the Coco is fully dry. I have now read I should flush at least right before I switch to flower, then prob every two weeks from there, until the final 1-2 week "starve" f…

Couple of weeks away from my next grow and I really need to ditch the hydro nutes. So I need some soil growers to critique my ideas and give me some ideas. Doesn't need to be organic, I don't have the room or space at the moment to brew teas or compost. Soil Blend: In 5G Smart Pot 60% Debco Gardenia, Camellia & Azalea Superior Soil 15% Vermiculite 15% Seedling Mix 5% Lime 5% Rooster Booster Have a similar mix for my auto's at the moment minus the chicken shit and it works well, the reason I use some seedling mix is when I drop the rock wool in the final pot I prefer the immediate area I plant in to be seedling mix so I don't have any nute burn probs putting you…
