General Cultivation Q&A

Ok I am now crossing over to the dark side.After losing this years crop to pests,nature and theives I am now lewft with little to nothing for the rest of the year so I am resorting to growing indoors.This is something I have zero experience with so I have a lot of questions and yes I have done some research but not enough and I figure there is not better teacher than experience but before I embark on this journey I would like some input from the experienced. I have a 400 watt HPS and my space is about 1m x 1m x 2m High.What is the rule of thumb for number of plants.Can I grow 4 or shall I stick to 3 I just want the maximum for that lighting as I have no smoko.I am going…

Hi all Good reading in here but im still a little confused . Im attempting to convert an old reptile box into an area where i could bring future cuttings and seeds alive. At the min i have a box which is 3-1.5-1.9 ft small but space is an issue. I have 3 computer fans which im sourcing some correct power suppplys for them at the mo i cut a charger for an old phone but it wasnt strong enough` I also have a heat mat and an old fish tank light but its only 24w what kind of light wattage is needed for rooting clones? and germination ? i attempted seeds last week i got very nice root shoots and placed them in root riot cubes and in a sealed tuuperware tub with a…

Hey dudes, im a noob so forgive me if this is a retarted question. Moving states unexpectedly ( will be flying ) and i've got a few small plants on the go they only about 3 weeks, was wondering if it would be possible to post them OR take some clones, and post. The seeds are ordered from the net so was hoping to salvage whatever i can instead of having wasted money on seeds. if it is possible would they even survive the 24 hours of getting thrown around in the post? As a last resort i will give them to a mate here and he will pollinate one and send me some seeds but not all that keen on waiting a few months to get my shit started again or buying more seeds from the net …

HI All First time grower hydroponically, but things so far are going remarkably well. Anyway, I got a lot of info about growing times. A lot of people say 18 hours a day is typical during the vegetation stage, but they go onto to state that they have 8 plants growing under a 600W lamp...etc... I have 5 plants in total on the go and they are under a 1000W HPS with reflective covering around the walls. I am wondering two things: 1) I have been growing under about 13 hours of light a day and they seem to be growing rapidly and look very healthy. However, it would appear that a 600W or 400W going 18 hours a day would be sufficient for good growth for the same area and…

hey guys, well i got 2 young (2-3 week old) white rhino, mandala mix and a bagmix we found growing in our driveway and i just started them under a 600 watt light a week ago and they were loving it growing lots of new leaves (first 3 tru leaves) and then just stopped and the 2 bottom leaves started turning yellow now i was just wondering if it is being overwatered? there is 2 in each 15L bucket with about a 70-30 coco peat and perlite mix. i am watering once per day when lights come on bout 1-1.5L ph'd water each (which is at 5.8-6.0). Will put some pics up in about 15 mins. Please help me Well cant get pics until lights off at 11am (qld time)

Hi every one, well my master kush seedlings are going alot better than i thought they would be and are ready to be topped. At the moment they are only 3 weeks old so by the time the cuttings have rooted they will stil be only 4-5 weeks old. Is that to young to put into flower. I thought i read that they aren't mature until 8 weeks

G'day All , Budman here ... Well ... The days are getting longer and warmer around here ... And In the upcoming weeks It is time for me to start thinking about how I am going to prepare my garden. I am going to prepare the soil in September and start some Cherry Tomato plants after that ... I've never grown them , but they should be easy from what I know. I have no idea about the different varieties and trying to find this information was a big drama for me ... I want information on their rooting structure ... I couldn't find any : ( So ... that is half the reason I started this thread ... The other half is : I have to wait until december (probably Late No…
