General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, I've been doing a lot of reading lately on soil mixes and there is a great deal of information, but not so much on specifics. everyone says use this and that but never really specifies how much. Im going to be doing a guerilla grow that needs to be as self sustaining as possible due to it being a long distance from where i live. The soil around is very clay based and in other words not great. So in other words i need a very good water retentive soil. I plan on obviously using water crystals as one way of aiding but I need multiple ways. If anyone has soil recipe, ideas, thoughts, tips in would be greately apreciated. I read that possibly mixing clay in with the so…

Does anyone know a good Video or Text Guide/Tutorial to Set up a Scrog?? Thanks!

I have been trying to research just how much Carbon Dioxide i need to administer to a grow closet. I currently use a Soda Stream C02 system that i hook up to a plastic tub to euthanise all the snakefood quickly & humanely. As i can buy all the gas cartridges from Wooolies & they work out very cheap, I was thinking of using this same setup to enrich the air in the closet. Does anyone use this type of setup? Or could you point me in the right direction of tables that i can follow.. Many thanks!

I have let my plants grow to big for my cab again ( its a shitty problem to have ) i cant move my light up anymore, and because of the small space im going to Scrog it with a net, but seeing as there to big instead of scrapping them, cloning and starting from square one again ( like i did before ) i am going to top them so they have two main tops so they are easyer to train through the net. They are about 4 days into flower, was wondering because i still have 8 - 10 weeks left if i should top them and let them go or top them and put them back into veg for a little while then back into flower. Not looking for massive plants so i think scroging them will produce the best ye…

Could any one give me a bit of advise, took a few clones did everything according to the instructions. they looked ok for a few days and now i have noticed that some of the stems on a couple have split. is it too late for these ones. kinda think that i could have been a bit happy with the misting!!!??? but i have tried to dry the rockwool out dont know what else to do ??????????
