General Cultivation Q&A

hey all, well iv been growing and tying down my branches every few days and i seem to be getting realy good results with the flowers they are big fat and juicy n healthy! what other mothods does everyone else use besides tying them down and training them?

I am currently researching growing and have come across a question... It may sound stupid but better to ask a stupid question than not ask a question at all so... My question is regarding CO2, I have seen burners used before but can I use a CO2 canister or a CO2 reactor to infuse CO2 into the water / nutrients I use to water the plants? I'm just curious because I am familiar with this method for fish tanks. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Hey Guy's I'm new here, have been checking the forums looking for a good Online Supplier for the hydro. Have been burnt by the Urban fuckin Gardner, don't like what I hear about Aussieponics. So who can supply the goods at a reasonable price? I see Glandore Hydroponics advertises on this Website, has anyone had troubles there. Or Newagehydro, they seem to have some good deals. Any help would great. Cheer's Filfy.

Afternoon everyone. I just wanted to share with you this seedling i started in my backyard about 3 weeks ago. Its an accidental cross of my last mother and its hermi-male (male with female flowers) brother. It is very small for 3 weeks old, but i havn't been tending to it at all and its been in some pretty hard soil. I've since moved it inside into the aerogarden. It seems to be flowering. Or are they pre-flowers? It's a bit strange considering it hasn't got alternating nodes yet. Also the purple pistils peeked my interest. It looks to have an infestation of mites. So i hit it with some mite-rid and put it to sleep. I'm really interested to see where this go…

I always assumed that rain water was more pure and better for plants. But I read somewhere that using town water from the tap is better than using untreated rain water for hydroponics. Their argument was that the chlorine and additives helped kill bacteria/germs that can harm the plants. And that rain water is missing certain natural minerals because its been evaporated (like distilled water). My tap water is around PH 7.7-8 and EC 300-400 My Rain water is PH 7 and EC 20 - 30

hey all.....im sick and tired of all the dope getting around that has not been flushed/ or grown correct, it all taste like shit apart from a few sorts i can get sumtimes....what do i need to know to grow a plant that will produce a very nice tasting smoke? note: im talking about indoor hydro.....

has anyone ever used cyco flower? bloke at the hydro shop recommended it to me heavily and gave only vague instructions on how to use it. currently doing a re-circulating grow in coco and added 3 mls per litre of solution to the 40 ltr res. this is the vague instruction i was recommended and i stopped all other nutes (normally canna). the bottom leaves are yellowing slowly after 1 week - obviously showing nutrient deficiency. i'm in week 2 and added half strength canna nutes as well as part b cyco flower at 3 mls per litre. just wondering if anyone else has used it? probably wouldn't recommend it so far, i see no difference with the plants unlike pk-13 stuff

While I was doing a bit of research for my grow I thought I'd visit the Canna site to see if there was any more info on their nutes. I stumbled across this nutrient calculator/custom scheduler and found it pretty useful. So for those of you running Canna products here you go canna.com
