General Cultivation Q&A

Hi guys, First time grower here and I need some help, well actually I need a lot of help but I'll ask one thing at a time. I bought some bonza seeds and they arrived on friday. I immediately put them in some paper towel to germinate and 2 days later about half of them had roots of a 10mm or more so I planted those ones and left the others to germinate some more. So that was Sunday night that I put them in coffee cups of soil which was a mix of soil from the yard, searles potting mix, and some lime to bring the ph up a little as the potting mix ph was 5.5 - 6.5 on the packet. So only 3 days after recieving the seeds I was stunned to see that they were all sproutin…

Hey guys Ive spent a great deal of time searching the net on growing info and one thing I couldnt find was side by side test useing H&G roots excelurator vs superthrive vs seasol i use both H&G RE and Superthrive and have finally gotten hold of some superthrive which i used to use but havent been able to find for a while since it is now banned in oz, i have also used seasol in the past on my plants, but use it all the time outside in the garden and on the veggies, i mostly want to test the H&G RE as it so expensive and want to see if its really worth it vs the other 2 vs no additive to find out what works and how well. I will be using Pineapple chunk fro…

genrally a couple of days before i harvest i would sort of torture my plant by not giving them any water for a day or two, snap a couple of main collas, give it a bit of water keep it going for a bit longer then dose it with boiling hot water and let it sit in it for half hour then pull. what im trying to do is make the plant angry and think its dying , when it thinks this i beleve the plant is flowing all its energy to the flowers to save them resulting in more potent buds. this is just a theory would love to hear others.

HEY ANYONE TRIED house&garden amino treatment yet? any info people can give me?

Hi Growers, Live in southern Highlands near Sydney, I have 6 outdoor plants in 20llt pots with a mixed soil n compost mix. Plants are roughly a ;itt;e over 3ft and 5 are female and flowering along greatly (1 dead male).Is this constant rain stuffing up the female buds? I mean can the rain knock off the resin glands and make the buds mould etc. They have been flowering for 4 weeks now, I was going to bring indoors out of rain but was worried about light or will they handle the constant wet weather. thanks for the help guys.

Like the title says. What do you look for in a strain, and why? I'm a sucker for the exotic-sounding strains and a motivated high.

Ok...so not sure if this is where to post this subject (had to use this emotion cause its sssssooooo FUNNY...his pokin him in da eye with a stick WTF!?) A couple days ago I had one of those "OH NO! FUCK" moments. I top my plants & was going to tie down my babies as they are getting a bit weighty & big. This is what happened to one of them...a total *DOH my badness moment* I split the biatch about 2cm down the stem in the centre...I didn't have plumbers tape which I normally use. As it does not have adhesive & is easy to remove once the minor breaks are healed. It was LATE + I was tired so I simply used masking tape which is all I could think of. …

Good afternoon people, I have a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with. I've just bought a 400w HPS lighting kit, its just the ballast, reflector and bulb. Ive never had one before so I'm not sure how exactly theyre supposed to operate, this one however is VERY VERY noisy. When I plug it in and turn it on theres a buzzing noise coming from the ballast that is loud enough to be heard 3 rooms away. Surely this isn't normal? And if it is normal how do people deal with this problem in stealth grows? Am I doing something wrong? Have I possibly hooked it up wrong? There were no instructions but I dont see how I possibly could have hooked it up wrong. I bought…
