General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all:) In the middle of co2 searching and found this product from Taiwan that is sold via ebay Hong Kong. It has the regulator, solenoid and I think suitable for Australia cylinder thread. After conversion, it is about $100 AUD with shipping, which makes it a fair bit cheaper than the Comet Greenhouse Co2 kits. I can't see a flow meter with it, but noticed a knob to control flow - suppose it is for aquariums. I have a co2 meter, so I can quickly use the knob to get a fairly accurate flow rate and was hoping that with a timer, I could get this thing to work. Any opinions would be greatly appreciated, as I am over my head with this stuff. Thanks heaps pug:) T…

hey all. a friend of mine brought some buds back from a mate of hers that grows.. i grabbed a q from her and i have to say it was definately amongst the best bud ive ever smoked.. i was just starting to chop some up and was thinking id love to grow this shit when i noticed a seed. i ended up grabbing another q as i loved it and low and behold i now seven or eight seeds in total. now it was definately female bud, very solid dusty buds like little mull rocks... so my questions are 1. how do seeds appear in female buds??? i always though it was just the males and hermes that had seeds. secondly, what are the chances of getting female plants from those seeds as al…

Hi Been sifting through stuff but cant find a decent grow diary that is done organically. If someone could quietly point me in the right direction it would be muchly appreciated. Peace out.

My brother said, that in a hydroponics system (such as the one in my bedroom!) that you are supposed to have about 10-20% of the water you spray onto the plants, coming back out as waste. However I noticed my main water tank, was doing down about 2 litres per watering (which is twice per day), yet about 1.5 litres of waste water was being pumped out into the waste water system. Thats about 75%... I have a valve, which lets me adjust how much water is going directly to the plants to water them. I turned this down, but when I did so, I noticed that the water doesn't spray very far into the pot, into the coco, rather almost dribbles just around the outsides, so I wor…

g'day all,ive not grow inside for years now 15-16 yrs,. But when i did i was always paronoid about going to the hydro shop,.Im starting again, but would like your ideas to get ya supplies without getting followed home by our filthy friends,as has been the case in NZ, ive parked and walked aways but thats not always pratical.Iv borrow cars ,but not always able to borrow a car. Is it safe to order on line, maybe sent to a friends address, but again this causes probs with stealth. Can anyone suggest any safe ways, Do you know of a good hydro shop in your area that you suggest, or any other ways to keep under the radar.

Could anyone give me some advise please, my plants are now 6 weeks old, grown fine for the first 4 weeks from cuttings (rooted) however since transplanting them into larger pots (oh im using coco by the way), they have started to wilt, yellow a little and generally dont look as healthy as they previously did, i hand water using coco at 20ml of both a and b and i was ph'ing the water at 6.0, after i noticed the wilting and yellowing i flushed the plants with clean 6.0 ph water and tested the run off, of which 2 gallons of 6.0 water had become 6.4, does this mean that the medium is much higher than the 6.0 im looking for, i have also noticed that if i leave water in a reser…

Good evening all. Does anyone know what the best available organic nutes are and has anyone had any good results from them? I tried looking for the Biobizz range at "Switched on Gardener" but they don't do it can anyone help? Peace out Himan

Hi, im thinking of trying this azura strain www amsterdammarijuanaseedbank.com/seedshop/strains/azura_marijuana_seeds.htm Has any one tryed to grow this strain out doors in melbourne/Vic? how did it go?

Hey guys, i am very new to growing (first time) and i was planning on ordering some seeds online, but i am a little confused about the laws regarding seeds. I will only be ordering 10 seeds, and i was wondering if customs stopped the seeds, what kind of penalties would i be facing? and if i put a fake name on the order, would that get around any problems i might face? Thanks in advance - RidgeyBlaze

Hi guys this is some one who isn't me`s first outdoor grow, its a hermie from bag seed. All the pistils have turned brown, the trichomes are still clear and the leaves are starting to turn yellow and are receding and look to be dying off, some of the seed sacks are starting to open. Judging by the pics what do you guys think is it ready to harvest or give it a bit longer? http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/8567/dscn1514i.jpg http://img41.imageshack.us/img41/9254/dscn1515u.jpg http://img441.imageshack.us/img441/763/dscn1516.jpg http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/7255/dscn1517.jpg http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/970/dscn1518g.jpg http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/6297/dsc…
