General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, just had a quick question regarding the probably of male/female plants. Everywhere i read it says it's a 50/50 which obviously makes perfect sense, however every single plant i've grown has been female. I've only grown a grand total of 10 but it seems like there are more forces at play than 50/50. Is it possible the genetic predispositions of the plants are changing due to breeding practices? I don't know but it seems strange that i'm yet to be unfortunate enough to get a male plant. Perhaps i'm just lucky.

I am doing some work on my microATX case that i am doing seedlings and clones in, i was wondering how often they like too be watered, i will be building a small flood and drain system that will just wet about 3/4 of the way up the rockwool cubes for however long is necessary then drains back into the res. the seedlings will be in a seedling try, the tray suspended over a plastic container which will fill too the level i elect too put my overflow pipe. I am just wondering how often i should set they system up too fill the container, and also i have left an area large enough too house probably 4 clones at a time next too seedling tray, how often do they like too be watered …

i have a 6x7x8 room at 12 hours continuous co2 run, calculations say i should set regulator at .08 which feels like nothing coming out of tube. my room is somewhat sealed but not airtight due to heat reasons i cant change.my meter goes to 2.0 max which i can feel if i hold it to my face,but still not a really strong flow.My question is,is that normal flow,and what signs of over co2 should i look for.(i read over co2 will halt growth which is obviously no good and worse than no co2 at all)

I have a problem where my flowering females have had to go outside because I'm using my grow room to veg up some clones. I however have a tall skinny freestanding wardrobe. Its 400mm x 400mm x 1800mm. I have a spare 400W HPS. Am I dreaming that could 12/12 with a single female and maybe scrog it? I'd prob put in a 150mm extraction fan, I've got one in my 1.6 x1.6x 1.6 grow room and it sucks very well. :: I'm planning today to try it out without a plant in and check the temps. Harry

ok so lets say that i have a plant that is growing in a pot and it gets to a certin size then i snip the top off ( the main bud ) and it goes brown and then what happens does it grow another two lets say it does grow another two main budz what happens if i snip them off am i getting it sorta right here or what ?? please help somebody really want to learn this method and scog sounds good to good grow methouds i think id rather have a little bit of good pot then alot of shit pot

hey guys, couple of pics. what would be the best yield potential out of something this size? (1200mm long, 800 wide, 1800 tall) i'm looking at copying 'Gazza's' previous grow using 30 ltr buckets and an auto drip feed system. gazz if you're out there - where did you pick up your buckets from? i saw them at bunnings for $11 each but i don't wanna spend $66 on plastic buckets. any ideas? what's a good size you'd recommend? 30 ltr? that's just a mazar i shariff lady sitting in there now, she needs to be repotted, she's wilting a little=( what's people's ideas to get maximum yield? 6 buckets with 3 plants each? 2 plant scrog? SOG? que piensan? cheers

Do people here regen? Leave a few small buds and leaves on there plants after harvest and switch back to veg apparently you can do it 3 or 4 times on the one plant Has any one had good results with this or failures?? I am going to try it with some NL and see how it goes

the girls are going gang busters ive already cut the roof out of the cuboard so i can raise the light the problem is the below half of the plant is getting bugger all light is it worth trimming or would that stress the girls out to much the cuboard is 1.5m x .6 with 2 plants 600w hps

I am doing an indoor organic grow (can't tollerate the chemicals in some hydro) and as a very ill person with a totally disabled wife we need a steady supply to deal with pain, seizures, muscles spasms (etc, etc) so the concept is a three grow area production line with a regular creation of clones (or from seed) and onward to veg and then flower (one area is flourescent for babies, one for veg, the other for flower). The two larger areas are 5 foot by 7 foot by 7 foot, each with 2 400 watt HPS. This way we should get several ounces for each month (just enough to kjeep the pain level down a bit). As I said, I have done this before, but I have health problem that effect …

not sure if anybody has seen the h&g tv commercial but i found the weird bald guys medical experiment on youtube. ..... h&g tv add

Is there a guide or something somewhere to help grow male plants? I had a search but my brain is a bit off at the moment I want to grow a couple to get enough seeds to not have to order any for some time. Would 1 male plant net you a few seeds or would it be better to have a couple of plants? Cheers!
