General Cultivation Q&A

I put 4 seeds into some seed raising mix on Tuesday, watered them, and put them in my grow cupboard under light for 18/6. Temps are hovering around 20-25C and humidity around 80%, I've been watering to keep it moist on the top because the light/heat dries up the soil pretty easy. Still nothing breaking the soil yet, I'm waiting patiently. I've decided to switch to 24 hour lights to keep the heat up, I imagine the 6 hours where the light is off it gets fairly cold in the cupboard so that's probably not helping me. I will switch back to 18/6 when something pops out. Only two of the seeds were showing signs of strength, they didn't really start popping out of the seed …

heya guys my first post here I recently saw something and was hoping someone would know exactly what strain is growing here because i am very interested to know... Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. Week 0------------- Week 1------------- Week 2-------------

hey guys im on the quest to find a strain that i would be able to smoke... I get all loopy and paranoid when im smoking sativa... I have some unknown indica hydro im smoking at the moment which is very nice and mellow which has nearly lasted me the year... All the commercial bush is going around now and its all sativa.......... I hate the feeling of thinking of thoughts racing around in my head i suffer from anxiety/depression/ OCD so it sends me into a loop of checking locks on doors just to severe panic attacks but hte indica is my medicine! ... Want a strain similar to almost narcotic , couch lock, no thoughts similar to valium ? if one exists... I heard mazar i…

Hey all! I'm new to OS and am a long time grasscity.com member and am looking for some more local knowlege from you veteran growers! I am current thinking of a indoor grow and it will be my first, I am also desiring to go for an indoor soil grow instead of hydro. My question is simple, what nutrients should I use for my clones/seeds - mature plants and finally the mother. I'd prefer to go organic and am limited to online purchasing and bunnings. I'll be purchasing a 600w Hps light and 400w Mh for my lighting if that helps, the strain will be great white. I'm fairly new to this, the reason I'm heading away from hydro is purely it being my first grow. But hey I'm open to …

I noticed with a hermaphrodite plant before, that it grew un-unformed & had two different looking sides with the nodes across from eachother at different heights & each side had different sized shape & leaves with the ajecent side nodes on one side pointing more up & the other side pointing more out. So I am just wonder if anyone has noticed the same when finding hermaphrodites before the flower cycle, or do they mainly/sometimes just sneak up on you?

Is it is possible to limit the height of outdoor plants by keeping their root space relatively restricted? I know that keeping a plant in a tiny pot for nine months wouldn't be a good idea, and I have no intention of doing that. However, I can't have 2 or 3 six foot plants in my backyard either. I'm not sure whether I really want to start tying down and topping, seeing as I've read some positive and some negative things about using such methods. Therefore, I thought that it might be a good idea to keep them in pots that are slightly smaller than what people would generally recommend. My theory is that the plant might not grow at such a fast rate if it senses that there is…

A friend of mine told me he watered his plant with his dirty bong water he says that is why it was so chronic... I said you need more proof and that the strain of seed was just good... So it got me thinking if the plant was more potent from the psycho active chemicals still in the water then why isn't anyone feeding there plant with the potent chemicals like thc and cbns.... well maybe the plant cannot absorb it, or even that if it did absorb the thc ect, once absorbed into the roots it would change the chemical make-up of the thc ect because of photosethesis and how it gives nutes to the plants if thats so then the bong water watering wont work... But then again I don't …
