General Cultivation Q&A

i have used clay balls in alot of grows with current setup.I have large dark brown clay balls(bag is not named.I hav bags of other clay balls that are smaller and hold more moisture.Still i see benifits in using both.Though to small seems to fall apart easier.About to buy more and might use a little of both but if i could find a name for larger dark brown ones i would be happy.The smaller ones are definitely the more common.Anyone out there been here and able to give me advice.I think larger ones may get to 20 or 22mm and weigh a fraction when dry or wet.

Just trying to be organic with homemade compost mixed with few egg shells and some coffee grinds, have been only giving bit of water everyday using a spray bottle (using rainwater, is about 6.5 pH) they have been getting a solid 14 hours light and 4 ish hours of direct sunlight. Any advice on this? Should I consider using something like bio-diesel. Not after too much yield but just want to have that satisfaction of smoking my own organic weed Also should I be transplanting into a bigger pot soon? Seedlings are approx 4 weeks old.

So today after browsing the internet I found med tek, and found out it's done by g.lowe author of integral hydroponics and the manicbotanicx site which has been completely overhauled since I last visited with even more information. https://manicbotanix.com/author/manixglow/ it is where I was able to read so much information and learn so much about coco, as well as common PGR's used the good and the bad and a whole lot more. Anyway anyone tried his nutes out since they have been released in AUS? At the moment I will probably be supporting him simply because of the information he supplied prior to selling these nutes, and the information he gives about the products, spec…

Hey fellow growers, I have not been around for a while, and also have not been growing for a few years. Able to get back into the swing of things, and am Just wondering if I have missed out on any new super technologies that have been released. Have LED's become the go to lighting yet? When I stopped I remember CFH was starting to look very good how's all that going? Any new fantastical additives released by nutrient companies?

Auto flower here and looks like i stuffed it up. Is this hermie or not ?

Got a question for you guys that have been doin it a while. According to the place I get a lot of my nutes from, they say to use stop grow in approx 2 weeks in to bloom period. The idea is that it is sposed to push all the "energy" into the flowering. Does anyone have any ideas on this at all? Your input is greatly appreciated..

Hi I stumbled across this YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgt6BR8fzFc&feature=youtu.be Titled Topping and Main-liningI was surprised to see the topping done on a plant so small. Is this topping done at such an early stage with the idea of keeping the plant as short as possible ( one of the reasons ) ? Thanks

hi anyone used liquid lead? last 2-3 weeks of flowering?

i just had some supplies delivered from the hydro shop i buy from and in the box was the usual copy of maximum yeild magazine( with a rather hot looking chickie on the front this month....).. there was an add in there for an organic additive called liquid lead.. obviously they give a great write, but you cant really go by what the company/seller says, they never tell you bad points, they want your money... so iwas just wondering if any1s used it and what they thought of it.. the add for it says it is: a unique blend of organic enzyme activators, vitamins and essential amino acids and carbohydrates that will unleash the full flowering potentia lof your favorite plan…
