General Cultivation Q&A

Hey all ……...im tired of all the different , nutes & additives & mixing for coco , with mixed results , so its time for a side by side with a soil & coco, my intention , is to use the same size pots & strain (inside), & have been researching what soil to use , knowing very little about soil , but wanting to keep it as simple as possible , Canna Terra pro seems to stand out , & from what I can work out , you only need the canna terra for veg , then the canna flores for flower, that sounds easy,is this correct ?? no mixing a+b Im not interested in the regular potting mixes , as there all full of b…

Hey I've just started a perlite grow besides the seeds are in rockwool to start, I'm sure other people have used 100% perlite and I'm wondering what I should look out for? Also pros and cons of adding coco would be appreciated but I'll probably still go with the perlite this time around. I'm using a 2 pot autopot system which I'll add airstones to the base of the pots to help with oxygen etc, I'm using growth technology optimum part A+B nutes plus seasol seaweed concentrate (3ml into 20l seasol so far, no gt) They are under a 2ft single t8 24/7 atm but will end up under a 400w hps in a few weeks. Ph is 5.2 Have an older extracting fan but will get a better one asap. Also …

I have transplanted most of my crappy plants to coco and perlite. People that use it, what would be some good 2 part nutes? I have been looking at the canna coco a and b, and the house and garden stuff of the same type, called Cocos. Next grow will go with a proper bag of canna coco and perlite mix. This clusterfunk is all about learning, and temps. Also anything else I should look at grabbing?

Hey OS, Thinking about getting a 1m X 1m X 2m tent but unsure if it will be enough to supply my smoking needs so thought I'd start a thread to see what sort of yields ppl are getting off theirs to determine if it is worth getting a tent that small or not.

Hey all, I’m going to switch back to hydro from soil shortly and read about a product that was a great alternative to growool. Now I’m fucked if I can find it again!!?? Apparently it works in the same systems but was cheaper. I remember it looked kind of white like perlite or vermiculite but it was something all together different?? Any ideas what it was? I even looked on eBay at the time and found suppliers and remember it was a lot cheaper than Rockwool too.

Hi all. I am a relatively new grower and also new to this forum. I have done a lot of reading on cannabis flowering time but I would like to know if the flowering time for cannabis starts at the beginning of when you flip to 12/12 or when plants start to show their gender (about 2 weeks). So would a plant that takes 8 weeks to complete flowering actually finish in 8 weeks from flipping to 12/12, or would the length be 8 weeks PLUS an extra 2 weeks before they show sex, making for a total of 10 weeks. Any help appreciated. Hope I am clear enough in my writing. Cheers.

After about a year of trial and error (And spending a small fortune), it looks like its finally going to work. A High-pressure Areoponic system that won't clog in the Australian Outback climate. However, the Water pump and Solenoid valve still need their own sound-proof boxes. Something which hasn't been included in the guide yet. The Drums may also need Insulation blankets to keep them from heating up. While its not up and running yet, given the equipment, an Organic-based Reservoir for Aeroponics should be plausible, even in the West Australian (Semi-desert) climate. Please tell me your own experiences with building a High-pressure (5 - 6 bar) Aeroponics system. Has any…
