Hello everyone. I have had a couple of cannabis culture magazines lying around for a while and found some very useful articles that I've never found anywhere else. Here is one of those articles that I have re-typed myself onto the computer. It is a two page spread and I've only typed up part 1 which is the first page. I will type up part 2 if I get good feedback on this one (the other one is about twice this size) This article is about temperature control (if you read it), the other one (part2) is all about moisture conductivity (EC level) It's quite in depth too. Let me know what you all think of it and if I should post part 2. Let me know if you learn an…

Sup peeps Just a quick question for any old skool growers, Have read somewhere that strains start to deviate and lose potency after the 4th or so generation (Starting from a single mother) Can anyone help me out and shed some light on the subject as i'm prepping a SOG Grow and have 2 white russian mothers that all the clones will be coming from. Was planning on stripping them both and take 1 from each to re-grow? Needing some advice on the best way to go about it and to find out if there's any truth in this deviation theory?? Thanx in advance and Happy Christmas 2 all xD P.s Sorry if this is in the wrong section =) Storma

Gooday Gents, well my babys are about 3 weeks into flowering and i just added bud xl to lastnights feed.They wake ina few hours and iwas wondering if i can/should add top booster to tonights feed along with some more bud xl? or should i wait a week like the feed chart says? Also, when i finally do use Top booster, should i use for more then 3-4 days or stick with recomended dosage? Also...is trimming in flower phase bad? my females are quite bushy and i think if i trimed alot of fan leaves it would shed some light on some new crowns. does this drain energy from the plant/alter where energy is directed? Good grows and Happy Hollidays

Hey, i was a bit bored so i thought id post my aquaponics build.. Im building an aquaponics set-up which is growing veggies and table fish symbiotically. Ebb and flow using two kiddy pool clams for grow beds (Dora Explorer brand works best ) filled with river pebbles. 2 types of bacteria colonise the pebbles and break down the high ammonia fish crap into nitrites then inrto nitates which the plants then use to flourish.. The fish live in the bath tub and the water will be pumped up to the beds as per normal flood and drain.. http://img31.imageshack.us/img31/9302/sdc12895a.jpg Heres some babies ready to go http://img710.imageshack.us/img710/6879/sdc12900.jpg And th…

ok, 1 of my plants had purpleing stems, i checked ph and its at ph 6.5ish... i just have one of them moisture/soil ph testers, ya stick it in soil and allow 5-10 mins to calibrate, then it shows the correct reading. i took multiple readings in different spots throughout the patch. they all showed similar readings. now my guess is that its not a ph problem. its just a Mg deficiency ? ive given it a small dose of epsom salts and a foilar spray too. plants are in the ground. 11 in the patch. There is only 1 plants showning signs of the deficiency. thansk

Hi All, I'm a first time indoor grower and recently aquired a grow cabinet. All the wiring is professionally done, and there aren't any lights touching wood or plastic or anything like that. I'm super paranoid about fires though. At the moment i've got my lights set up so that they're off whilst i'm at work. But trying to sleep is a problem, as the extraction fan in the grow cabinet is damn noisy. Am i being paranoid? Seriously has anyone had issues with fires/heat in their cabinets? And if so, what are the signs to look out for and what steps do you take to avoid things like this. Regards,

Hey all, I am looking into grafting different varieties of my fruit trees in the yard, while i was watching videos on how to do it, naturally it came to mind..How about grafting cannabis!? Sure enough it's been done before and i'm sure many of you know about it, here is an example video of multiple strains on one plant: I know it's possible for grafting on to a branch already, but what about grafting onto the rootstock of a cannabis plant? if you had a plant that is going through flower, after harvest could you graft a new top or younger plant onto it to keep the already huge root system alive and reveg the new cuttings or does the system just shut down after the pl…

This morning i was checking all my potted plants (including my veggies and a carob tree i oddly found growing down the side of the house that i stuck in a pot) I usually just look under at the pots to see if any roots are coming thru and i usually noticed worm castings (i didn't know they were worm castings until today) under the pot of the carob plant, after pulling it out to check the roots, i found 2 little earthworms happily going about their day, and the little plant was doing fine, since they've been going through the soil the worm castings have been falling through the drain holes. anyway, My question of the day is... Will it be much benefit to drop in a couple…

Hey all, I have successfuly cloned my baby plant since I topped her, it's been 2 weeks since i put the stem in a jiffy pellet, although it was a very slow wait, the leaves never wilted once and it looks pretty healthy, some very slight burning of the very tips of some leafletts but the overall leaves are fine. The roots never showed through the peat moss untill just recently although i only noticed the roots appearing today, i would assume they pushed through 2 or so days ago? now that the root system is established, how long should i keep this clone this way before transplanting into some soil mix? it's only about 8-10cm tall, should i wait for some new growth or put …

Hi guys, I have a question about my first baby's premature death. It was fine when I checked it this morning, and about an hour ago I came home, and the stem had bent at soil level and it was drooping sadly against the plastic cup in which it was growing in. I've been growing it in a jiffy pot, and only watering it when the 'soil' turns a lighter brown colour. I'm not fertilising at the moment but I am watering it with mainly pond water. I leave it outdoors too so I don't reckon light is the major issue here. I've piled some more soil around it, so that it has more support now, but I'm not hopeful that it'll pull through.. any suggestions as to what the problem is? …

I've been taking clones and inserting into rockwool, grwoing them under a flouresent light for two weeks and then putting under metal halide for two weeks of growth. Its a turbo tank sorta design with two 6inch air stones down each side and a pump with 4 little sprayers spraying down the middle and plastic mesh pots holding the rockwool and a few clay rocks around it. Is it possible to just skip the fluorescent bit and put my clones in rockwool straight into the plastic mesh pots and grow them under metal halide from scratch? Cheers ya'll any input is good input.
