General Cultivation Q&A

I'm looking to get hold of seeds (to qld), and have come to the conclusion that a seedbank overseas is where I need to go.. Been researching the options and looked at a few shops, decided that planetskunk is probably best. Even though I have an aquaintance who tried to get a shipment from there who never showed, and no letter for customs - that aside. People seem to have good things to say about 'em. Anyway, my concern is for a safe-drop, not sure how to go about it. I could order in a bogus name I suppose - but then, what if its a 'parcel-sized' envelop which gets returned to local post office? Surely I cant produce fake ID.... And also, how do people go about a…

Please, I'm not looking for opinions on this one. I have read enough of opinion based comments on the web. What I need is someone who KNOWS or has EXPERIENCED on what I'm asking. I have read that white plastic tents set off a gas which is harmful to plants. So I am looking at this supposed NON-TOXIC tent. I actually purchased a tent a few days ago, but was lucky enough to catch them before it was shipped. The company didn't give me a hassle, though theire website claimed the tent was NON-TOXIC, and they completely refunded my money:hello: though they claimed there would be a 20% restocking fee on their website, they DID NOT charge me the restocking fee.) They apologized a…

So I have planted some seedlings that I germinated about a week ago and I planted them not very long ago. Many people have told me to water them once a day but during this watering how much should i be watering? SHould i be drenching them or only lightly spraying the top soil?? Edit: Im from Sydney if that makes any difference

i picked my bud about a month ago,cured them and now it smells like amonia.i srarted having mold issues while budding so i picked early.no visable mold on buds in this container.i overdried then added orange peels to moisten.could that be the reason for smell? is my bud safe to smoke?

can i or should i use my pond uv light in hydro setup? would it stop root rot and all other diseases? what harm could it do?suprised i havent seen this question before.

Hi folks, Just a question where can i buy seeds in South Australia. Am getting a bit desperate for some newies...

Well, a grower from dcfonline (a Danish grow forum where i'm active) have successfully germinated seeds in Polyester sponges (for cleaning) instead of rockwool cubes! http://dcfonline.dk/index.php?name=PNphpBB...ight=alternativ So now i'm trying to make clones in the same media. http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y26/Terkel/svamp.jpg I've made 20 cuttings and placed them in polyester sponges, and placed them in my humidity dome. i'm using rooting hormone as normal. I will make a feedback on the results of my experiment as soon as they are rooting.

Does anyone know if it's at all possible to get these in aust? I've seen 'em on U.S sites but the shipping is always enormous. Regards, Filth

So i bought the aerogarden to give it a go, if fail i will just grow tomatoes and strawberries or some shit, doesnt worry me.. Though what alot of people i believe are doin wrong is that they arnt trimming when the growth gets too high, the light needs to get to the whole plant, if it only gets the top of the plant obviously you wont get the results you expect. I used to grow outdoor plants and got it pretty good, since moving to a small apartment i thought id give it a go, i believe cutting the top and making it grow outward, or using weights to bend it down is the key to aerogarden growth. Its obvious this system isnt going to grow the amount most people want, but i…

I have an aeroponic setup growing white rhino and orange bud this morning i noticed little pods at the fist nodes under the flower heads of one plant, it is only the second week of flower, its an Amazon 32 pot and im using Dutch Hydro coco which isnt available in the shops yet it is a lab sample, i have recently give them a light spray of superbud every 2 days when lights are out. They were all grown from clones from healthy mothers so i have killed it off straight away taking no precautions, my grow room is a walk in wardrobe 4ft square, wall to wall mylar, light sealed using a 400 watt cooltube vented out through a carbon filter, 2 oscillating fans, an extra fan mounted…

Hi all just a noob question, Im planning on using searles seed raising mix to begin my plants, and then will be transplanting them into holes with yearles premium potting mix and some perlite. I am planning on using a bit less than half of the original soil in the holes. The original soil really isn't that great, quite dry and sandy. My questions are: How long is the seed raising mixture suitable to grow the seedlings in until transplanting them to the holes? i was thinking 2 - 4 weeks? What's a good ratio to mix the perlite and soil? 1:4? Any suggestions for potting soil besides yearles premium potting mix..? personally i think this sounds good. Will this mix be sufficie…
