General Cultivation Q&A

G'day Everyone, Had my first attempt at cloning and successful thus far ( thanks to the bubble cloner tutorial ). All of them are at about the same stage with roots. Should I be transplanting them yet? or wait for more root growth? They will be going into a F&D with clay balls. As always, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

HI. I live in Adelaide, and I don't have much money for a grow op, but I can probably afford (just) the seeds (5) and cheap pots. I want to start growing outdoors in the next 2 or so weeks (hopefully it won't take longer) I have absolutely zero gardening or similar experience, and I am well known for having poor hands on practical skills Nonetheless I am determined, because its that or give up weed for good because the habit is too expensive (actually don't like the word habit, its not very addictive). Okay so what I do is: Get the seeds, put them in a glass of water, wait a few days or so until they look different, then grab them and place them 2-3 cm beneat…

this is my first attempt in horticulture i made a box whit 1m x 1.2m x 0.6m, this will be the home for 2 plants, i want to drill some holes to put 120mm pc fans, from what i read i need around 200-250 cmf, one simgle fan have around 50 cmf, what is the suggestion about the number of the intake and the exhaust for the box and also how do i possition them. My second quistion is relatet about the nutrient, for the vegetating period what is the optimum ration of NPK (20-20-20 it is ok? at the moment the are about 10 cm high ) sorry for my stupid questions and my english.

This will be my first time growing and Ive decided to use a hydroponic grow medium rather then soil. Which grow mediums are preferred? I'm assuming that by using a medium i will have to feed the plant with nutrients. Do i mix the nutrients in with my watering system? How often do plants need water and nutrients? Sorry if they seam like silly questions im still trying to get my head around the idea. Peace

I would like to take credit for this but credit is due where credit is due. i obtained this info from the Incitec website (although it obtains to agriculture on a large scale, the plant basics and nutrient requirements are basically the same) Feel free to move this to the appropriate section if you feel it isnt in the right place. Nitrogen Nitrogen in soils Nearly all the Nitrogen in the soil orginates from the atmosphere, which is made up of about 80% nitrogen, The Rocks and minerals from which soils are formed do not contain nitrogen, Most of the nitrogen present in the soil is in the form of organic matter. Organic Nitrogen is however not available for plant uptake…

Hi Guys, I have 10 Sativas which are about 4 weeks from harvest and I was hoping to reveg them and then put them outdoors,...I was thinking of only taking the really good buds from the top 3/4 of the plants and then sticking them under 18 hours light for a few weeks on veg nutes before sticking them outside. what do you reckon?..any help would be great

Hello, Firstly I've never grown a plant before so I don't even know where to start. Before I buy anything (seeds, soil etc) I want to be confident I have a fair idea on what I'm doing. Few points - I live in SE QLD, temps are a pretty consistent 30 degrees now and the rainy season has begun. I'm assuming it's too late to grow anything and I should wait to around September right? I want to grow outdoors. Not where I live though, in some bushland somewhere near where I live. I want to pick somewhere near a water source with lots of existing healthy greenery (i.e. grass, shrubs, trees etc), and preferably near a water source. Somewhere where no one else will likely g…

Hi there, First of all, I couldn't found the presentation section, so I guess there is none, never the less, I'd like to introduce myself. I'm new to growing cannabis, moreover I'm new to Australia (forgive me for my poor english), I'm an international student, studying business in Sydney As I said, I'm new to grow cannabis, more precisely, I'm not even new, since the project is to be started in a few months, but I like everything to be planned well so everything goes as smooth as possible. I've done my researches about growing, and more specifically about growing in OZ. It seems that back in Europe everyone advices to start with soil for your first grow, while most …
