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.

Hi Guys...I need a bit of help here. I have ten kali mist sativas that I am flowering indoors under a 600w, at present they are about four weeks away from finishing with the hairs only just starting to turn red. What I would like to do is pollenate some of the female flowers with pollen I have collected off one of the original males I had when I started to flower from seed originally. I collected the pollen from the males and stored a bit of it in a tupperware conatiner in the freezer as I was told this is the best method of storage. What is the best way to pollenate a female bud?.....I dont want all my buds to turn to seed so I was just thinking of using a brush to…

Just dug a new plot deep in the jungle, problem is the soil is not the best, its a bit clay like. Im used to growing in rich soils and pots that have no need for added nutrients and mediums. Should i use some organic soil activator such as humus, along with a clay breaker or would the humus be enough with some added premium soil mix. Or is there something better i could do?

Ever walked through a tomato hydroponic greenhouse?, do and you will find massive dark green tomatoe plants growing so vigorously that if you stand still long enough they will grow over you and kill you. Ever wondered about the nutes these plants grow in it must be tricked out stuff right, well no. A typical nutrient used in commercial hydro costs no more then 90c a L for the concentrate which is 200EC and can be diluted at 15:1 more then your typical nute from a weed hydro store. So why do stoners pay $15 - $40 for nutrients - well i dont know really. Typically a 2 part bottle of nutes available at your local will contain about 50c worth of raw ingredients. Add in …

hey guys, i just pulled my EC out after a while and discovered she's gone all dead on me! My canna vega + flores nutes just arrived and my question is this: Presuming my water is at a 0 EC reading, at what ml/L ratio should I water my mother plants? I have no way of testing the EC until my new pen arrives in over a weeks time and want to start using the canna stuff as the charlie carp I have doesnt seem to be meeting their nitrogen needs as the canna will. Any help will be muchly appreciated guys!

almost all would agree that the optimum kelvins (as far as cfl's are concerned) for your veg cycle is 6400k or 6500k and 2700k for your flower cycle. but of late ive notice 14000k veg cfl's on the market... are they better? are they too strong? have you used them? can someone bring me up to date?

Got a nice healthy Sensi outdoor skunk living outside and basically loped the top 30cm off to make a few clones to see how it performs in the drobe. Does it matter that the stems are hollow? I imagine woody stems are better but I'm just having to make do with what I've got. anyone had this issue ? I don't have much confidence in hollow stems myself

i went to a website to order some more nutes and i came upon some faqs about my botanicure pro grow. turns out i am not suppose to use h2o2 in my res mix because it kills off some good microbs in the nutes. funny thing is since i increased the amount of h2o2 in the res mix (before i seen it was a no no) the plants have gotten greener. why is this ya'll.
