General Cultivation Q&A

Hi everyone, i have some little babies in my grow room an i was wondering how early i should trim off the undergrowth? I have been tipping and a bit of lst. They are in week two, bout 20cm high with about 18 tips each, should i trim off any side shoots now or leave it to bush out a bit?

So here's the story. After a couple of attempted soil grows with little success (Im quite a newbie but kept having trouble with over-watering, over fertilization and poor soil choice/composition) I decided to undertake a little experimental grow... Im using: One 48 watt CFL (3000k) and one 13 watt CFL (2700k). Homemade aluminium reflector. 18/6 cycle Gravel grow medium (from backyard (sterilized)) with roughly 10% sand soil Tap water (left out for few days to let nasties to evaporate. Currently in a small pot (15cm diameter) will repot to 25cm for flowering. Now i thought i would attempt the gravel as it drains extremely well (too well) and let air to the roots. so i…

I just started using Bloombastic WOW! it works, It put the flowers into overdrive. Fatter than any of my other grows. I'm using 3ml. per gallon. along with my regular nutrients dutch master gold Flower, the PH comes out at 6.5. Great no PH up or PH down. I also noticed the brix level is high and mites don't like a high brix level so most of mites are gone so are there eggs, pretty cool. I got a sample of Bloombastic from Atami. info@ t-nou.com They seem to be pretty nice and sent me a sample within ten days. I just started using bloombastic so we will see just what it does with 4 more weeks of use. Happy trails anybody else using bloombastic please let me know…

I had this certain strain recently that this guy called Hawian Mist. Any one ever heard of this? When i smoked a bowl of it within 5-10 min i was completely disorientated, it was like no high i have ever felt before. It gave me vertigo, made me feel like i was spinning around very fast and on top of that it felt like i was being crushed by two peices of concrete. I had no feeling in my whole body, every thing i would touch i couldnt feel it. Im starting to wonder if it was more than just weed. Any one ever experience side effects like that? And anyone ever heard of Hawain Mist? Thanks.

Hi Everyone, I noticed that alot of questions about Nutrients get asked and thought I would create a post on what I have learned. This is for mostly Hydroponic as that’s what I know and love, but I imagine that alot of it is relevant to soil as well. I’m going to try and stay away from showing specific brands coz I know everyone prefers different ones. This is my first informational post, so if you guys see any mistakes, please let me know, I’m sure there will be a few, I’m pretty ripped, haha. I guess I’ll start at the beginning with Water: I know lots of people swear that RO or Distilled water is the best, but I have never used them and have never had any problems. Bu…

Hey all! Well, I thought I'd fire off a question. My test grow is underway, and I'm sure I'll have lots of these little qs along the way, so thanks for your patience. At the moment I have 3 of 4 o haze x skunk #1 popped. They are now at day 10 from planting the seed (planting directly into soil with all of these). Stretched like crazy for the first five or six days but have settled and are happy as now. When I pot them up I'll bury a fair bit of the stem. Blowing some air on them for strength. Now, the problem: I planted some DNA Genetics Pure Afghan seeds on Sunday. Three of four have popped - but I'm noticing issues here with a very hard seed case that the seedlin…

A friend gave me some Canna bio nova a while ago but the label isn't on the bottle. Does anyone know the dilution rate or recommended dilution rate for Bloom (half strength to full strength). I've never used it before - anyone know what it performs like also? Thanks MR

well once again its time stop buying marijuana. I dont have a job and i dont know any hydro dealers who dont need a bullet. I have a variety of bag seed all shit sativa except one. Last year i started to early. cause i was in the same predicament this time last year. Im 28 and still live with me parants in a small QLD coastal villiage. So It a 2-4km walk up some hills through a fence on to a hugh cattle property that runs onto national park. to my old grow site where i used a outdoor screen tent to grow 4oz of stringing herpmofherdite sativa. 10 plants. {see my old post] this year i got the seasons right, and like last year, Its tempting to start during the wet sea…

Hey guys, with my harvest fast approaching I'm starting to think of my next grow, I am going to switch to SOG. But I was wondering about spacing. How far apart should I have my clones from each other. Any help would be great, thanks guys.

Hi Everyone, thought I would share pics from my first DWC. I was learning alot so they done look great in the first few pics. But the harvest pics are pretty cool. This is the first Pic, with the standard "I'm a n00b and my light was to high" stretching. http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/mjdoob420/First/1.jpg Looking abit better since I lowered the Light http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/mjdoob420/First/2.jpg Starting to look pretty http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/mjdoob420/First/3.jpg http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/mjdoob420/First/4.jpg Was pretty excited by this point http://i953.photobucket.com/albums/ae16/mjdoob420/First/5.jpg ht…
