General Cultivation Q&A

I have come across this thing from around the web and thought it looked interesting. It supposedly will use AI to tell you the THC % and can be used for diagnosis of plant ills, pests and harvest times etc. There are lots of for and against people but thought I would throw it in here for interest sake. Here is their site........... https://www.gethigrade.com/index.php and F book......... https://www.facebook.com/GetHiGrade/ PS. This is just for interest sake, but to myself it looks sort of playfully interesting.

I've set aside separate strains of male plants( about 80kms away from my outdoor females...). I'd like to collect and store male pollen from the boys, to apply to limbs of a few select girls after the ladies start flowering in Feb. What's the best way to collect AND store the male pollen ?? I'd like to kill the males once I've collected pollen, as they are not in overly discreet location - so I need to store pollen for a few months. Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Just starting week three of flower and wondering if it's OK, to foliar spray still? I often spray the leaves when I water but this is my first grow so unsure. Thanks.

Open discussion about all thing cannabis, with a lean towards a quality result and how to get it as well as quality genetics and where to get them from, i.e. not Humbolt the hermaphrodite producing flogs go for it

hi my last 2 grows have been ended short due to root rot. I'm running a rdwc setup with a chiller., last time I put 4lt of household bleach in 160lts of water ran for 3hrs soaked for 2hrs before flushing with fresh melbourne tap water., and introduced the chiller to the system. The res temp sits under 20deg. when running. The last run It didn't happen until 4weeks into flower. I monitored the roots regularly as i was a bit weary. new system different lights to normal. ( heaps of circulation, heaps of bubblers )They were white and healthy up to a week ago. I use the professors grow roots as recommended . I was considering also using oxyplus in the future. Could the rot be …

Hey crew apologies if it’s in the wrong section- it said “didn’t have permission” to post in the gardening technology section so threw it here , please move Mods if you can What timers do people use for their feeding pumps ? I’m after a seconds timer as I have an electrical sub board with programmable switches but minimum is a minute and the Bunnings timers are usually increments of 15min on the analogue ones Cheers!

Hey all and thanks for having me over. I know a bloke who wants to grow autos and says that because they're so easy to grow he's just gonna germinate in wet cotton wool, plant them in 5 gallon fabric pots, throw them under some decent LEDs in his garage without the walls. Just under lights with no foil for reflection, and rely on room temp, decent soil, good food and a couple of fans, for the short time they need. His shed gets to around 15 degrees at night and 25-30 without much humidity. I know theyd be better outside this time of year but thats not really an option. Neither is a tent an option. Do you think theyd go OK?.

So H&G say ro water doesn’t “harmonise” nutrients ? What’s that all about ?

Question...... how important is keeping humidity down in flower? The last few days she’s been up around 60-65%........ lights on after a feed it’s around 56%. Good days she’s around 50%..... struggling to keep it down there even with a dehumidifier and good air flow...... but have 2 good fans moving air nicely, and good ventilation, this should keep any rot and crap away..... %%% is mainly up during lights off so not to worried about them feeding through leaves more then roots Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi, I have a small grow, about five plants into week 7, (three weeks into flower) critical mass and gold leaf. Normally the lights are on 12-12 and as I needed to go out by 12, I figured it would be cool to speak in and wake the girls up at 1130 so they get a bit of an early start. Naturally I would set the timer to 1130 and make that the new routine. Just as naturally, I forgot, in fact I left it on timer bypass, until I was driving home from a friends place that I remembered, so the light has been on for24 hours and is just about to enter the normal cycle on period. So, whats the consensus, do I a/ turn them off so they get a little darkness before resuming normal rou…
