General Cultivation Q&A

Been reading about auto flowering strains like AK47, Lowrider etc. Pretty fascinated with the concept of discreet plants you can place anywhere & harvest up to three times an ouotdoor growing season. Any feedback on strains, reliable seed companies & techniques would be appreciated. Cheers

I have a few of these fertilisers in their raw chemical form which i mix with water in highly concentrated amounts to dose aquatic plants. does anyone think these would benifit seedlings or would they cause harm? eg burning. Potassium Sulphate K2SO4 Monopotassium Phosphate KH2PO4 Magnesium Sulphate MgSO4 Potassium Nitrate KNO3 Assorted trace elements in powder form. cheers Merc.

has anyone else heard this saying? How accurate is it? Merc.

Hi, my lights accidentally were too close to my 3 day old seedlings for an evening and they are dry and flopped over but half of the stem is still strong. Should I start again or can the seedlings be saved somehow?

I need some help...... Ive been reading about teas with guano, kelp, earthworm castings & molasses. I found a recipe that looks like this - does this sound good? VEG TEA PER GALLON WATER 2 TBSP Peruvian Seabird Guano – 10 – 10 - 2 2 TBSP Mexican Bat Guano - 10 – 2 - 1 or (blood meal 13-0-0??) 2 TBSP Kelp Extract - 0 - 0 - 2 2 TBSP Earthworm Castings - 1 - 0.5- 0.5 2 TBSP Blackstrap Molasses - 2 - 0 – 10 TOTAL NPK - 23 - 12.5 - 15.5 For a flowering mix, the Mexican Bat Guano (high N) would be replaced with Indonesian Bat Guano (high P) I have a airpump to aerate a 4 litre bucket. How bad is …

I just found 2 out of my 4 plants are either male or hermi, lots of balls and only 8 days into flowering. Thinking about separating them and harvesting them for seeds ( think it will be great to keep for future either for me, or strain trade with others who have other strains i want to try ) Because there White widow and Great white shark. How long until i have to separate before i risk contaminating what im hoping are my 2 ladies.

The other day I was having some problems since recently PH down has been released with a child safety lock but to incorporate this requirement, the bottles no longer have the "dripper" on the top.. I have been told some people are now just drilling in the lid, but I tried adding the "dripping" lid from an older bottle of PH down. When I was filling my tank solution, the lid came off, and the solution poured straight into the tank for a second or two.. I didn't think it was that much, I shook the tank for 2-3 minutes, and then checked the PH and the meter said it was fine. The next day I was a little suss, so I checked the secondary tank (the main tank is pumped into t…

Hey to everyone I have just changed nute brands as they were the only ones available. I usually use Nulife A + B and add canna PK-13-14 at week 5. The nutes I now have are Dutchmaster Advance, plus they recommend you add Dutchmaster Max. It seems from product description that it is a P & K additive that you put in every tank from start to finish. Does anyone know if you still add PK 13-14 at week 5 with this new stuff? I don't have the product in my hands yet, but the info on the product label was sketchy. Thanks to all aussie

Hey all This is my first post, I have been reading every post I could find about getting some seeds of my own, the whole import thing still after reading many posts sounds risky. We all know IF the pigs wanted to bust u for barley anything at all they can and will if they are asshole enough. I will have to bite the bullet and import (thing is I live with my parents still sadly) OR I was thinking the only other alternative i can think of is drive to Nimbin which would take me like 10hours, now what would the chances be that i get there and cant get any or a decent amount? I have no idea if it should even be an option? IF I import i would use a prepaid card and order unde…
