General Cultivation Q&A

Are there characteristics showing during early growth that can help us tell them apart? p.s. i know the differences between them when theyre older, taller, thinner, branchier plants and leaves for sativa, etc.

hey guys just wondering how old a plant should be before you take cutings from it ? or is it a size thing? - is there a minimum from seed under fluro's then 400 hps cheers budgie

Hi guy's, What are your thoughts and views on people putting other drugs such as amphetamines/herion etc into their grows.

Please explain how the plant would metabolise the amphetamine and convert the active ingredients into the plant structure? Explain also how amphetamines would not destroy root zone microbiological (and other cellular divisions) activity which is crucial for plant li…

After only using perlite, I have recently acquired some bags of Hydroton, Coco & peat but have no experience with these mediums, what is a good mix?

Hi Im trying to develop a gel that i can use as the soil,I was thinking of getting pectin,mixing it with nutreints and soil turning it into some soil jello jam and then cutting them up in small chucks,i figured that water would drain better and plenty of air would get to the roots. any thoughts or advice on this matter? or has anyone tried something similar?
