General Cultivation Q&A

My coco H&G is running out and I'm wanting to get into a perlite and or perlite verm grow. I would like to do combo of run to waste, hempy buckets, and have a go at recirc. Which is more suitable for me? Hydro or Aqua flakes? Aqua flakes they recommend for recirc as it keeps ph etc more stable. I don't imagine I'll get into a proper dwc setup so is aqua flakes more suitable for with my grow types? I'm leaning towards that but would like some opinions.

Hi all, I currently have 2 seeds ww in a low mix of nutes and added hydrogen peroxide. The issue I'm having is the seeds float to the top then drop back to the bottom. Never seen it in my life. Anyone ever seen this. Are the seeds viable or should I put in more. They have been in the freezer for a few months does this have any bearing on what's happening.

hi Im running 1 plant for a 4*4' screen using rdwc in order to minimize my plant nos. The only trouble most of the recommended strains for scrog are indica dominant. Making the vegging time extremely long in order to fill the screens. hydrohybrid on you tube grows this way and his plants appear to be more sativia dominant. og kush I believe is one of his favorites. Considering the laws here in oz in regards to plant numbers others must grow the same way. The strains I have looked at for high yields and high growth rates are critical mass, critical+2. has anyone tried them and do they suit this type of grow? are there any other high yielding top smokes out there that othe…

Hey Guys, I'm currently in the process of designing a perpetual grow using NoTill soil in fabric pots. There will be 2 seperate "mini rooms" (Veg & Flower) and a gravity fed watering system using Blumat maxis. With a nosey teenager living at home, the setup has to be stealthy and as invisible as possible. I'm using an online 3D design program to work out the logistics.

Hey crew What’s everyone’s opinions on foliar spraying? I know some people do it with cuttings before they root to help absorb nutrients but what about vegging plants etc ? And with what and till what stage - rhizotonic or similar??

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
