General Cultivation Q&A

Water-based Agriculture Dates Back Centuries The History of Hydroponics by Danny Danko Hydroponic cultivation—the growing of plants without soil—is a science as ancient as the fabled Hanging Gardens of Babylon and as modern as a future NASA mission to Mars. Over the centuries, the crude agricultural techniques of the Babylonians and Aztecs have been refined into space-age plastic systems in which plants literally defy gravity—growing toward a centrally placed light source like planets revolving around the sun. One day, hydroponics may ultimately provide solutions for massive global problems such as feeding the developing world, combating deforestation, and growing herb …

hey i havnt been around in a little while and i was wondering if xpat.com the seed website is still running ? i need a good reliable place to get my seeds from for this years outdoor. let me know asap peace

ok i have the seeds and some lights box reflective foil all the things one would need.

so I have a bagseed that most recognise as 'sativa dominant' (the shrubbery), http://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...showtopic=24241 Several weeks ago I put some cuttings from her under lights, along with cuttings I expect are less sativa, more indica, 'nother plant in the rose bed, also bagseed. Depending on timing of the rosebed girls (who are taking their own sweet while to prove emselves) I'm thinking of a couple of scenarios for the cupboard. 1) the cupboard becomes 'mother' to plants that may, or not, mature outside. 2) a 2nd area of the cupboard becomes 'head area' and I mature 'em under lights. Though the shrubberyis recognisable as sativa dominant the…

Is this bud ready yet? It has maybe a few white pistils maybe 5% or less. I have a few glands explode already, so I think it is good to go. I do not have a loop, so I am going by the pistils. It is on week 10 and this is the first bud that looks ready. This is some really cheap bag seed, probably the cheapest you could buy, It turned out surprisingly good growing hydro though, It is definitely an outside plant. If someone could help because I want to harvest this bud if its ready to give light to others below it. Thanks

Hi Guys, On the fourth week of flowering and not really impressed with bud size so far, I'm growing in coco under 600W and have been feeding the girls Dutchfest Hydrogrow flowering nutrients. Just doing some minor pruning tonight to improve light to bud sites I was planning to add some canna PK-13 in two weeks time and now I am considering buying something like monsterbud or rock juice to improve yeild, ......I have heard good things about cyco flower and I also have some potash which I add to my garden outside that I was thinking of adding to the plants .....any suggestions or experiences people would care to share?

Well didn't I have a wonderful day today. My plants are in there 6th week of flowering and I noticed A bud that had a seed in it. Grr I scaned all my plants with a fine tooth combe and found ONE extremly small pollen sack. opened.... Hidden right under a bud. Well the good news is it was on a very low bud un my plants and none of the cola's got any pollen. but it is still very frusterating. This just goes to show that you have to inspect your plants very very thoughly when growing F1 seeds. anyways just thought i would share my anger. Post a new topic in Miscellaneous
