General Cultivation Q&A

Hey all, I vaguely recall reading that foliar feeding of fertilisers needs to be weaker than if watered into the root zone. Does anyone know if this is true? If so, how much weaker??

Hi Canna Nationals I'm a new member and this is post #1. I've been lurking in this excellent forum for the past couple of weeks, absorbing knowledge to help with my first grow. After a fair bit of research here and on other boards, I'm taking a micro, indoor, stealth, cfl, soilless-mix with nutes approach. I hope to journal my progress on this site. Now I'm about to start purchasing, I have a question: when you're in a garden or hydroponics supplies store, how honest with the staff are you? Do you flat-put pretend to be growing tomatoes, or is it a <wink> tomatoes affair? I may need to get some advice from the suppliers, but I don't want to be thrown out of the …

hey peeps, i decided a couple of months ago to give a couple of plants a crack outside in winter ( i know probably not the best idea, but hey anything is better than nothing), the plants have now gone into flower as daylight hours are less than 12 hours a day, my question is, as daylight hours start to increase, and once the daylight hours are exceeding say 14 hours a day will my plant revert back into vegatative stage, or will it keep flowering.

Hi all I'd appreciate any thoughts. Basically my question is does adding h2o2 to nutes do anything nasty? Potted up before flower, added nutes per schedule, burned the plants. In hindsight this is obviously because the new soil and added nutes were too hot a mix. Caught it in time, flushed and dialled the nutes right back in a immediate after-flush feed. The girls are recovering nicely, albeit with a few war wounds. However as they are newly repotted, dampness persists at the bottom of the pot where the roots haven't penetrated yet long after the upper soil containing roots is dry. So I need to water, but am worried about the wet feet. I was wondering if adding a s…

I hope this is the right place for this question, we'll find out soon enough. I need to force one of my plants to hermi....long story short back in 08 i grew some special skunk, it turned out fkn great and was also hermi....so i got a bag full of feminized special skunk seeds....what a treat. Now the bag is running low, and i need a top up....sooo....how the hell do u force a plant to hermi ? I'm aware that stress contributes...as does over pruning and "run-dry" in a dwc system (which is what i run, dwc)

My little ladies are about 2 weeks old now and I germinated them in rockwool cubes. I recently transported the cubes to some small pots (soil). On checking them yesterday i notices with one of the plants that the main tap root was coming out of the bottom of the pot. Should i move it to a bigger pot already? I fear that if they get any longer I am likely to damage it when putting it into a larger pot later on. The plants themselves only have about 2 sets of leaves. cheers in advance

Hi everyone, i am about to start a new grow and want to use a low odour strain that grows low to med and suited to SOG method. Natually i want the strongest strains possible and would love to hear anyones experiences/suggestions!!! cheers!!

Hi, this is my first post. I'm going to start growing weed soon, but I don't know anything about growing any kind of plant. I'm going to grow indoors and I want to know if the time of the year affects the weed plant when grown indoors. If it does, how does it affect the plant? Will it produce a higher yield and/or potency if it is grown at the right time? Or will my plant just not grow at all if I don't grow it at the right time?
