General Cultivation Q&A

I'm having no luck with germination this year. I Was give some fem seeds, done exactly the same as previous years, glass of water, seed drops to bottom and then onto moist paper towel. Only one sprouted and then it died in the pod. Any suggestions, this is Capricorn coastal. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Just curious of the difference as far as being a fertiliser in the different Kelp Meals, Acadian Kelp (Ascophyllum nodosum) and Bull Kelp (Durvillaea potatorum). Both available in Australia (Bull Kelp being harvested off Tasmania apparently).

Hi all, Was in my local the other day, and got chatting to old mate and new stuff coming out. He said they will be getting emerald harvest in a few weeks. He was telling me that it is the only Vegan based nutes on the market aka only made from plant material not fish or cow ect. It looks every interesting, it comes in a 2 part and 3 part. But its getting great test results from the dispensary as one of the cleanest nutes out there, beside Aptus but that have cow in it. Any one ever tried it.

Hi crew I had a clone off a mate and he says it’s a Swiss cheese or something , but it didn’t take off straight away in coco a month ago so I unpotted it and flushed the roots and put it in my dwc about 3 weeks ago under a 250mh It’s bounced back but the leaves look oddly shaped almost round and has what I can only describe as strange pistils(?) on it . I’ve attached some photos just curious if anyone’s seen a plant like it or if It’s sick and needs trashing ! Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I have some 1 week old seedlings that we’re going to be next indoor run. Been running them 18 / 6. I have a few too many for my 3x3 so want to place some of them outdoors. My question is how long can I leave them under 16/8 indoors before putting them outside and not making them go into flower? I know they can’t flower for at least 3 weeks anyway but will the light interruption screw with them? I was thinking not if I get them out in the next week or so but never done it before? Any experience with this? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey all, I've got a few Barney's Farm auto seeds i'm wanting to use, and i'm thinking of trying hempy buckets. They seem like a tidy, low maintenance set up but i've got a couple questions and wouldn't mind some pointers from the pros if you got any The setup - Jiffy pods for starters, then2-3x 10L Black Bunnings bucketsOutlet taps to mount ~50mm off the bottom100% PerliteMegaCrop for nutes1x 600w HPS1x1 TentHand wateredSo the questions i've got niggling in my head are - Do I need air stones in bottom? I've seen some set ups with PVC tubes down the side of the pot, what are these for? (i've seen air lines fed down them, so wondered if thats their only purpose)H…

What ph level does everyone recomend, I’m using advanced nutrients micro,grow & bloom which is made specifically for the plants but I’m getting a reading of around 4.7 and I’ve been told 6.8 is the go, should I raise the ph of my solution or keep it as recommended as its cup winning nutrients, cheers Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey peeps! Started a grow diary mainly for myself to be able to look back on....... but have a question on nutrients. Soooo much information out there that it just becomes a head fuck...... girls have really popped out there first true leaves over the last few days and looking at first hit of nutes in the next couple of days....... thinking of following this for the first grow, but only using cal-mag plus the flora trio, which I already have waiting. I thought start with basics and concentrate on keeping good environment plus balanced ph and ec....... and then look at additives over the next few grows once I get my head around the basics...... does following something lik…

Hey crew When flipping the lights to flower do you let the tips of the plant come up through the net , or do you keep training them under the net the entire time to expose the entire branch to the light ? I’ve been training them but then once flipping I’ve let them naturally come up through the net - noticed it’s then shading out a lot of the popcorn buds which would have more potential if it was laid sideways and they could turn into big colas themselves is that the go ?????
