General Cultivation Q&A

Hey all, ive recently been growing a few auto white russians and ive kept a few males for the pollin to grow sum seed. I went to collect sum pollin today and noticed that all 3 males have grown about 10 seeds each on the very tip of the male flower,i was quite shocked as i have never heard of male producing seed. Does any1 know anything bout this?? r these seeds any good to grow?? will they be 'male-inized'?? or will they just be like normal seed from a female?? and yes the plant were male not affa's they never showed any sign of being female through out their life, i should probly add the plants look to be at the end of their life, they r starting to die off slightly- co…

Hey guys Does anybody have any good techniques they would like to share about the premium conditions for getting plants to turn female? In the Grow Bible(i really should stop quoting the Grow Bible), it says that if you keep your soil at the right PH and feed them properly, that you increase your chances of getting your seedlings to turn female. Is this true? Or is the sex of the seed, predetermined? In other words, do the seeds actually have a sex at the point they are created on the plant? Thanks guys Peace

Over the last 2 weeks i have been doing a trial of rizotonic vs seasol on 4 different plants and have noticed and amazing results! Using the amount of 2mls per litre with nutes i have come to the conclusion that i have been getting RIPPED OFF! All plants are looking extremely healthy. The 2 with the riz on them look good, and the 2 with the seasol on them look good with a very healthy root system on them! The difference: Riz $100 bottle Seasol $8 bottle The trial was on coco run to waste system with a flush every 7 days and using silica as well with ph 6.0. BH PS HGS Ripped me Off!

Hi Guys, Have just germed some Belladonna (Paradise seeds) in some jiffy peat pellets and am preparing a veg medium mix for their first pots. To work with I have: vermiculite, perlite, coir-peat and a yates premium potting mix containing dynamic lifter. I would just like to know your opinions on what would be the best mix for vegging. I am thinking just perlite, vermiculite and coir peat as I know the peat already has some kind of added fertilizer in it. Save the potting mix for final transplant along with the others maybe? Can I get your thoughts. Cheers. =) U.C

After searching for answers on Cannaversity n blogs I still have questions about light - Being a newbie to HydroCulture (always grew bush) I'd love to get some advice for my self and other newbies re: LIGHT Some Examples Seedlings : How much light is too much? : Can I put babies in the sun then under light at night? : Does photosynthesis start as soon as babies pop first shoots? : Does more light = thicker stems? : Distance from light source? Small plants : How many hours under light? (I'm using 2x High intensity Gro Lite 6400K electronic lamps) : Is it cool to move from natural sunli…

Hey guys Posted this question in another subforum, but i think it should be posted here. New here. Just been doing a little searching of this site, and a few questions have come up. Firstly; 1. Whats the deal with sunlight? I keep hearing things like 'keep your babies, when theyre in vegetative state, at either 18/6 or 24/0', my question is, why? I understand it grows quicker, but on earth we only get, in winter roughly 12/12, spring 13/11, summer 14/10, autumn roughly 13/11. Unless im missing something, it really doesnt make sense to me. Not only that, can someone explain to me how 24/0 works? When are you actually supposed to turn the light off? Does that mean ive…
