General Cultivation Q&A

Hi guys, This is my first post and the first time I've grown. My plants are in the flowering stage and I have no idea how long they have left to go. I also don't know if any of them are males or if they are producing seeds or what strain they possibly are. I have grown two in the sun and two in the shade just to see which would flourish better. I need to get rid of them soon so any info would be awesome. Below is the link to my photo album. Thanks heaps! http://s1221.photobucket.com/home/cv8gto

Just a couple of links newbies & experienced growers alike may find helpful. MJ is just a plant afterall. http://www.abc.net.au/gardening/ http://au.lifestyle.yahoo.com/better-homes-gardens/gardening/

Hi I have 2 x Apple Jack girls that have beeb fowering 4 weeks and have about 4-5 weeks to go (see my grow diary in footer) They are in soil mix and under 400w HID Sodium lamp. I have been feeding on Nitro Grow (veg) and now Nitro Bloom (flower) with every 3rd feed adding 1g Black mollasses to the mix as I read that was good for carb intake, which should boost stickiness and flavour. The NitroBloom has been fantastic but I am sure I can beef these buds up even more. What would anyone suggest to really beef up the size of the buds that I can use in the last 4 weeks? Something to make them buds swell right up. There are so many fert's online from Big Bud to Bud B…

Hi, Im wanting to get me some sort or self watering system for coco in pots. Is there any such thing? Im looking to be able to go away for 8 days and have it capable of monitoriing the ph and maybe the strength of pre mixed in water nutrients. Not sure if they have that sorta thing or not. Im sure it possible to maked/design one but really who can be bothered with all the mucking around. If not is it poss to at least get a self watering system that will at least do the watering? would appreciate some suggies if these things are available. Cheeeerz.

Hello gardeners, I like to keep my garden entirely organic, if possible. I am on the hunt for some bat guano as a natural source of phosphorus, but cant seem to find a supplier in oz. Has anybody had any success sourcing this product? peace ntm

Hey Gang, Just bought myself an EC and ph meter. Now, my problem is: my tap water is bore water, which is hard water? and has an EC reading of 0.7. I checked this against some filtered water which correctly read 0. The Ph is 7. According to my feed chart, at this stage, i should have an EC of 1.5.(Im growing in soil) But when I add the prescribed amount of nutes to the water, my EC reading is around 2.4, 2.5. Im not too worried about this...the babies dont seem to mind, but am just wondering whether I should be chasing the correct EC reading, or just keep going by measurement. Any thoughts? Peace Chef

Hi Guys, sorry if this is a pretty stupid question, I'm just starting to worry about every little thing at this stage. I currently have 1 female bagseed plant, in it's third week of flowering, in my flower chamber. Two more went it earlier this week and should be showing signs of sex in a few days. The cabinet has an exhaust fan on top and uses passive air intakes around the bottom. The actual cabinet is located on the other side of my shed from my smoking spot. I have purchased some pretty seddy bags lately, I am worried that there may be some residual pollen on these buds. Is it possible for pollen to be released from seedy gear when it is chopped up? My fear is tha…
