General Cultivation Q&A

Hey People, First post and just have to say kudo's to the moderators and any one else involved with this site..... im addicted. After seeing what my mate grew on his balcony last month and smoking it with delight, Ive realized ive been wasting money on crappy hydge that I never want to smoke again. Im doing my home work and getting ready for some guerrilla action. We use to grow bag seed back in highschool, like 15 yrs ago, and after getting busted and getting ripped off so a few times. This time around I trust absolutely no one now. Also Have not seen a seed for years, and had no idea about the seed banks...derh to me. My main objective is order (Skunk#1) , I …

Hello , I was looking at my 125w CFL the other day and noticed there was some dust and shit built up in the CFL , so I just lightly dusted it and blew out some crap ......but it didnt seem like it got it as clean as I wanted it ....but because I didnt want to go hard (and maybe wreak it ) I just left it as clean as it was , set it up and used it ........... What I want to know is ............ How do you guys/girls clean your CFL's? Has anyone had a bad experience with cleaning a CFL? Has anyone had a bad experience with a dirty CFL? Any information would be appreciated .....thanks

Hey everyone I haven't posted in a while but am looking at purchasing a new set up soon and just had a few questions. The system I'm buying will consist of the following: - 1.2 x 1.2 x 2.1m Mylar tent - 1.2m Cooltube - 250mm centrifugal fan with carbon filter - passive intake I plan on running 4-9 plants at any one time. Question 1: should i run 2 400w HPS in the cooltube both on analog jb ballasts, or should i run a digital 600w hps? I ask this question because i read somewhere that analog ballasts take 10-15% extra wattage, so between tthe 2 400w ballasts they could use an extra 100w or so making a total of about 900w. If i get a digital ballast though with 30% ext…

Have read an article that says you can use a mix of bat guano and worm castings as the ONLY nute mix for a hydro setup ( I'm using perlite re-circulation satelight method) has anyone tried this mix before... ?? If so how does it compare to the standard orgaic nutes ie cannabio etc thanks edit.. high N bat guano for veg and high K bat guano for flower

HI guys. Just started week 5 of flower on a first attempt at growing. (apparently a C99 x of some kind) Its a scrog running a sativa dominant bagseed plant in perlite/coco75/25, Just finished a trim over 3 days and would appreciate some advice. The lower canopy was very thick with lots of leaves pushed up against each other not allowing much air flow, so even though it was 4 weeks in I decided I had better give her a trim to avoid mould issues and to allow access should a pest/disease problem arise in future. (her first ever real trim) I know its too late to be doing that kind of thing but In the end I think the +'s out weigh the -'s because it opened things up…

Just received a news letter from Green Harvest. They have a section on live green manures. If the mods allow it, here is the site, http://www.greenharvest.com.au/seeds/green_manure_cool.html They have a green manure for the warmer seasons as well. It is pretty good for out door growers.

Ok all heres my questions I know feminized seeds mean they are girls but what is a auto? and what if you cloned a auto would they stay auto? and what if i assume autos are girls would happen if bred with a regular male? would they stay auto or become regular? i have read they say auto flower but what does it mean? scrog netting do you just keep it under the net or weave it through the net? thanks for the answers to my dumb questions
