General Cultivation Q&A

Morning good people. I have a question regards my grow, first timer. They are into the fifth week of flowering and the smell is divine, BUT, they smell totally different, and growing different? Both Black Domina, but one smells like a fresh lemon tree and the other like you stuck your head into a bag of wet pine chips. Is it normal for the same strain to smell so differently from plant to plant? PS. They are growing differently too. When is tall and thin and a bit scraggly, the other is short stumpy and bushy. I'd wonder if the seats were mixed up but they came in the same bag.

Good morning all. Hoping I can get some advice. I currently have two Black Domina, in week three of flower. I recently changed the lighting from two LEDs, to Mars Hydro, TWS 2000. They have been under that light for nearly a week and seem to be doing well until this morning when I noticed the leaves were pointing straight up! The light is at the recommended distance of 12-18inch. I'm not sure if the pointing up for more light, or too much light? Any help would be great, thanks in advance. Soil...equal parts of coco coir, perlite, compost. Fertiliser....Super Grow guano.

Have noticed over the grow, how 2 strains are thriving under 18/6 light schedule and other 2 not so much. Most growers out there will recommend 20/4 or an 18/6 light schedule start to finish for autoflowerplants My 2 northern lights are about to shoot well over the expected life cycle from the breeder I think this is due to the genetics carrying over more photo period traits then not, have also noticed now that there in flower they are shutting down and going to sleep 3-4 hours minimum before lights off, this tells me they would thrive more from a shorter light period ( can’t be done until the 2 chimp glue are out of tent) I did shut off lights a bit earlier one day …

Coco, perlite,geolite. It's a fantastic, trouble free media. Best of all, you can use it over and over again if you clean it right. After harvest, let the root ball/pot dry out for a few weeks. Then you can clean the media ready for the next crop. Here's the rooted media hehe. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/grizzydog/judynstuff004.jpg You need some 5mm wire mesh and a catcher! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v331/grizzydog/judynstuff005.jpg Chuck on a good few handfuls of the rooted media and rub it around, the coco/perlite will go thru the mesh leaving the roots and geolite. Pluck the roots out (they gather into balls as you rub the media makin…

Hi Guys, I've been looking for a way to do low stress tie down training in Rockwool Hugo cubes. The problem is there is no convenient "structure" to tie down to on the cubes, unlike growing in a pot where you can tie to the pot directly. Anyway, I recently got a 3D printer so I've made a first attempt at designing something to meet my needs: The basic idea is that the plastic parts and aluminium tube form a structure around the cube, with tie down points on the top plastic part. This way, I can tie down the plant to the cube and still be able to move it around to make training and defol trimming easier. Also, I usually like to transplant my seedlings into 1…

Im buying 50 liter bags of soil and 5 gallon bags. Yep, tried google. searched "how many litres of soil for a 5 gallon pot" (for autos) and its surprisingly not easy to find the answer. Its mostly in gallons, cubic feet etc. Does anyone know how much soil in litres a 5 gallon bag holds. ? While Im here- would 5 gallon bags be overkill for autos? Would 3 gallon bags be better, and is mushroom compost (have some hanging around) be ok for them. (outdoors, spring/summer). Thanks.
