General Cultivation Q&A

I have read two different ways of determining nutrient strength using a Truncheon or any meter and I want to know which one is correct. Most nutrient labels say that the nutrient strength shown is in addition to the water ppm. In other words, my water is 210 ppm if I want a ppm of 1200, do I mix it to that and add to the water. That would give me 1410 ppm or do I mix nutes to 1000, that would give me 1210 ppm. I read an article that said to deduct 50% of the water reading from the total ppm reading. In other words, if I mixed to 1200 and deducted 50% water reading, I would have 1095 ppm. I find this confusing as I am using low strength nutes (1/4 strength) on my 50…

just showing the size of 1 my clones. and wanted to ask wether i need to re pot them yet as the roots are showing out the bottom of the pot

hay everyone have a few clones in coco that have had a few problems overfed , p/h problem and root bound i have transplanted them from there 1/2L pots to 200mm pots with some perlight in the bottom than i flushed them with half strenght nutes to settle them in (small pots were flushed prior to transplant) i guess what i would like to know is how often do u feed your plants? do u feed one day than water the next? or do u just use nutes all the time? how often do u flush? how much water/nutes per serve? eg 1lt 5lt or mabe 500ml pot size? thanks stinky

First off I hope this is the right forum, I looked around but couldn't figure out where it was supposed to go. I bought two sets of seeds about 9 months ago but I wasn't able to get a grow happening for various reasons. But now i can and I want to use my seeds. (btw skunk #1 25/75% sativa, and skunk #1 25/75% indica) What I want to know is how long should they have survived for? They have been kept in a dark dry place the entire time. Or will I have to buy get new ones? Thanks everyone

Hello everyone ....I am just about to harvest two big sativas that I have had in my grow room for the last 16 weeks, the problem is that I want to take the buds off the plant and try to reveg it and stick it outside for this years outdoor season.....the genetics are fantastic and I want to save this strain Is this possible????.....how much should I trim off the plant?....should I leave some of the smaller fluffier buds on the plant??? any help would be much appreciated

Is It possible for me to clone from a flowering plant or is it a waste of time ... Im only asking because my clones got killed and i need new ones ...

Hi all. This is my first attempt at a grow. I just dropped a seed into a pot that my little xmas tree came in and it's sprouted. I had it sitting on the balcony (i live in an apartment in the city) but it didn't get sun consistently. it's now sitting in my cupboard with a small 16 watt flouro providing light set on timer with 16 hrs on 8 off. Does this sound like it may work? I've also bought some yates multi nutrient plant food which i haven't added yet. i was going to leave it a couple of weeks before adding a very diluted mix. once again, will this work or am i on the wrong track? any help will be appreciated. cheers.

this is my first time to grow a plant and i dont know where to start. i have a few questions that i hope you guys can help me. im planning to start at 2 seeds first and ill be planting it indoors. is it alright if it doesnt get direct sunlight that much? im living on an apartment and my windows are facing like north east so i dont get direct sunlight that much but my ventilation will be good enough for he plant to breath since im living on the 2nd floor and i can open the windows 24hrs. will there be any problem during the flowering stage? and why do most of the topics that i read that they discard males? does that mean they throw it or is it still "smokable"? i understan…

What do the experts here think are better for cuttings ? The woody hard type or the soft younger shoots ? Cheers CG

Ok iv searched and havnt been able to find anything about growing seasons for outdoor cultivation, probably cause im a bit of a newbie and dont know where to look. I from Sydney, NSW and was just wondering if anyone could help me out on the seasons that are best for growing. When should I start germanating the seed and planting them outside? Peace.
