General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, I'm hoping you might help point me in the right direction as to what to grow. I've been doing a bit of reading, that said there are more strains than i know what to do with. i'll be importing seed, and my situation/requirements are as follows, i'd like to grow in soil (indoor is prefered if possible), it will need to be stealthish so no monster bushes, i'd prefer something that gives a good heady/cereberal high though a bit of a body stone is ok. i'm looking to predominately cook and vape with it with the occasional spliff thrown in. this will be my first canna grow so i guess it also needs to be kinda forgiving. if you need more info etc just ask. i'll be lookin…

Hi guys, I'm growing in a relatively small area, a clone tent with the dimensions of 0.8x45x0.8 and am ready to purchase a hps bulb and ballast for flowering. I already have a cool tube + ducting for the fixture. I am just wondering which would be best in this area of space between 250w and 400w hps and if anyone has any info or experience in regard to this. Much Appreciated. UC

I was just wondering i have 2 types of fertilizers, Searlers Flourish and Manutec Boom Bloom Booster Searles Flourish NPK: 16 - 4 - 25 Boom Booster: 6- 14- 16 They are both water soluble fertilizers, can i mix these 2 together and follow directions as normal to bring the NPK ratios up...or is this an unwise thing to, or should i just alternate the use of these 2 products....

hey everyone.. i was talking to a mate who tells me that when his brother used to grow he used he used decrease the hours of light during flowering more and more each week.. so basically 12 hours to start flowering then he would decrease the time by 2 hours every two weeks so after week 8 if they went that long they were recieving only 4 hours of light a day.. he claims that this increases the size and amount of buds and also speeds up the flowering time by a couple of weeks in some cases more.. can anyone lend any credence to this.. i have never heard anyone else using this method. i guess in theory the less light hours the more the plant thinks its gonna die and pum…

What i'm thinking is, is it possible to grow a cannabis plant inside, with the right electrical lighting, airrated and secure location, and instead of a hydroponic system to just water it normally (with the right nutrients etc) as you would a plant outside? I figured sure it wouldnt yield as much or as potent as a hydro grow, as it would be similar to an outdoor grow, but surely its possible?
