General Cultivation Q&A

everyone who has polenated their plants knows why they keep males a long long long way away from their females, but for the newbies and the ignorant here's a pic that simply demonstrates why. simple background on this situation... I had a small plant no bigger than a foot tall i germinated in early summer and kept it in a pot far too long for it to develop (since my yard has enough plants in it already) When i topped it, I made a clone of the plant and that too stayed in a pot to grow no bigger than a foot.

My bluelab truncheon failed. Email sent and they asked questions and eventually meter was sent across the ditch (NZ). Within 5 days of them acknowledging it's arrival a brand new meter was returned. I have been very busy of late but they emailed every few weeks asking how the meter was which eventually motivated me to mail it. Brilliant service...........cannot recommend enough. Got 6yrs out of my last one.

Hi guys Looking to do a new setup in a medium sized garden shed. Cant get to it too often , maybe 2 times a week , so I need something minimal maintainence and self sufficient previously done flood and drain with expanded clay works quite well but I have found salt buildup is an issue with this system . but its pretty resilient apart from that. any suggestions ? verticle height may also be an issue , I would guess about 1.6m is the hight of the shed. perhaps even soil ? any help appreciated

So I harvested my plant and I have frozen everything from the plant. I plan to remove them and throw it in a bubblebag. Should have i dried it out first? if so can I still? If the trichs are still good in their frozen state should I go ahead with the bubble bags or pull it apart, grind, dry, chop before the bag?

what do you think of my homemade pipe yo?
