General Cultivation Q&A

Haven't grown for 5+ years but last time I did I used some stuff that was primarily a cloning nute as feed for my seeds from the time i planted until 2 weeks. I'm buggered if I can remember what it was. Really want to use it this time around as it gave great results, my little babies sprouted with stems on them 1/2cm thick. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi There Have issue and question. I am now about 16 days into flowering and switched to 'bud' nutrients..etc.. The plants stretched a bit for the first week, but it appears to have stopped and they are really starting to solidly bud up. However, I have noticed that a couple of the leaves here and there are going a bit light green and yellow. Also noticed that the steps have gone a kinda purple/brown at some parts, but still normal green at other points. Is this anything to worry about? One other forum, someone else had the problem and dropped the PH with a touch of vinegar in the water, but I don't want to start messing around unless I'm sure. Second (question) - …

Sorry for this nooby question. I just got these seeds and start potting them How tall can a Nirvana's AK-48 strain grow? It's an indoor seed, reckon it should be like knee height? Previously, I had an white widow strain which grew just above my knee. That was perfect! I am really worried if my new batch turn out to be 3 times the height!

Well i've been wanting to try this out for ages now. I've got a little rhino clone in there just using pool noodle foam like in my bubbler to hold him there.

how to make my own soil

I have just ordered some NL X BB, Just wondering if anybody has had any experience with this strain? When doing a SOG, what yields could one expect, the site said up to 600grams, that's a bit of bullshit? P.s love this site, great peeps, heaps of useful info for a novice. Melb

Hi I was just wondering if anyone knew where I could get some innoculant from over here in NZ. Also do they sell some kind of rock dust over here as I know they do in the UK and by all accounts it works a treat for us organic growers? Himan

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…

I was at bunnings I saw two types of soils , Potting mix or like a 5 in 1 mixture i think it was called was for like vegetables and stuff like that what would i be better of buying?

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.
