General Cultivation Q&A

I have 6 week old plants (currently in pots) that I'll start moving outside directly into prepared plots on a private property, into the ground in early Nov. I have chicken wire cages to deter larger predators, however I'm after advice on an ongoing plan to deter smaller pests ( mites, aphids, gnats, caterpillar etc). What ( and when and how often) should I start using deterrents to avoid/deter small pests??? I've researched ( but never used) things like silica( to strengthen plants), diatemaceous earth for avoidance, and foliar sprays( detergent, garlic etc), and eco neem, however am interested in a comprehensive plan of if/when, and how to use any( or all? ) of thi…

Hoping some experienced heads can help answer a question on Hermie seeds I seem to be getting conflicted info from dr google ... So a I have a female plant that Hermied due to environment factors not genetics. That plant is pulled out ASAP but still pollinates the other females. Are those seeds feminized, Hermie or mixture of the two? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Any tips for easy germination? I’m 30% success rate!

recently(last 3 grows)I have been using two T5 system 4 foot by 4 lights 6500k.Very happy with it as i can even have only 2 bulbs running when cloning.So one of the bulbs blew on me and i thought no worries ill by a couple.The price of the bulbs is close to price of whole fixture which came with 4 bulbs in them.So my hps ballasts can be switched to mh.I have never vegetated with somthing as strong as 1000 watt mh (ballasts are 1000 watt)Anyone use mh 1000w for veg and can tell me how well it works.I would save alot of money in the purchase but would I lose that with the price of electricity running a mh 1000w instead of current T5 system I,m running.

First post here. Does anybody use auto pots ? Last grow ( my first grow ) I had very good results but that’s just using the generic AutoPot nutes only and Moby Dick, Girl Scout and also Green poison strains. About to start my second grow and am Just wondering, what can I add to increase my yield and quality even more. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

How do people manage this? For example under a 400w, I've got 8 small pots. These small pots would not be the ideal final pot size for 4 of the females that I'd expect to come up. For me, I'm no good at telling sex for sure until week 3 of flower. It's OK to repot I guess but ideally you shouldn't be repotting during flower? I'm asking as it just seems a bit of a waste of medium if I'm going to throw half away, plus there's no space under the 400w for 8 full size pots whilst waiting to determine sex. Do people just wear it or is there a better way to manage things whilst waiting for the regs to show their sex? MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I have a cutting from a flowering mother about 2 weeks along after rooting. I just moved it a lot closer to light (600w mh) because I had it at 3 feet and a friend of mine said it was probably getting little or no light. This is my first time growing. I'm just trying to get an idea of when to switch to flowering for this plant. Sent from my REVVL 2 PLUS using Tapatalk

Hey peeps! So iv got a few seeds that didn’t make the tent on this run, thinking about just throwing them in a few pots in the tent to veg out a bit and then outside to get them out of the way...... I probably won’t run autos in the tent again, for the fact of how finicky they are and really only saving a month on time for less quality and yield. Now! I’d still like to try and get the most out of them outdoors because a jar of ok herbs is better then no jar at all....... any tips towards autos outdoors would be appreciated! Months, potsize, soils and what not....... I have little to no outdoor experiance! Chimp glue autos are going soooo good in the tent and loving eve…

So ive been looking at all sorts of potting mediums, and after looking at soiless like coco a lot of people have said it's hard for beginners so I decided not to do that, and the supersoil I've heard of cannot be bought in the UK and I cannot create my own due to constrictions. So my question is what is the best way to grow with soil? Any specific type I should get (I live in UK so cannot buy ocean forest) and if I do go soil how do I give it nutrients and the sort? Many thanks
