General Cultivation Q&A

I just have a question. How long could it take for the cops to raid a grower if they were tipped of by a squealer who bargained for a lighter sentence. Could they leave it for a year or so in order to make it look unrelated to the dog or would they nip it in the bud before things change? Thanks A friend of mine is a little paranoid.

Hi fellow smokers i have been lurking on this site for about 3 weeks trying to soak up as much information as i can and now i would like to ask some opinions on my first grow, would love some feedback or any information possible so i can cut out as many mistakes as possible.Ok so im trying to get some plants going and i am experimenting with 2 different grow mediums, i currently have 4, 1 month old plants sprouted from bag seeds from some awesome chronic that i smoked, they are set up in an average sized cupboard under 2x 42watt 6500k cfls 2x 18watt 4200k cfls and 2 x 10 watt 2700k cfls. The grow medium for 3 of the plants is a cheap 5 dollar bag of potting mix from kmart…

My name is FORCONI Marc-Antoine, I am 21 years old and I’m a second-year student in a French university of agriculture and management, LaSalle Polytechnique in Beauvais. At the end of our second year, we have to do a 5 month training period abroad. The aim of this period is to gain valuable work experience and new techniques and to learn about life in another country while improving our English. Indoor culture is really a passion for me, I am lucky enough to be able to combine this interest with what I learn at school, and I would like to develop it even further by doing this training period of 5 months in a growshop in Victoria area (the period from July 15th to December…

I am growing in some 1 gallon buckets and am going to be transporting them to a location outside soon. I was just wondering if the plants would be alright though. My plan was to bury the pots a little bit into the ground and then that way they won't get too big. Basically, my spot isn't that top-secret so I don't want to be growing trees. My concern is the plants getting root-bound or something. Anyone try growing in 1 gallons before?

Hi all, I just wanted to ask if anyone has had much experience with Diatomite as I just picked myself some up a few days ago. I was wondering if this would be good to mix with my current medium of choice perlite. I just thought I would try something new, as I am hoping soon to graduate to a recirculation drip system for the first time. At the moment I am just wondering what you guys thoughts are on this as a medium. As I am getting far too sick of having to trash perlite, I would rather have a reusable medium or at the least be able to put it on the garden with out arising any suspicion at all. Also does anyone know if there is a certain level of silica in this stuff …

Would it be ok to use regular soil from the veggie garden mixed with blood & bone, home made compost and perlite? The only nutrients I currently have is Ionic. This is my second attempt at growing and I only have a small grow space (1.8m x .75 x .55) so I'm not after massive results.

I had a homemade growbox before with 250watt mh and hps(flowering)lights.The soil i had was potting mix which i noticed drains really well but the soil dried out too quickly also the plants took ages to get tall enough to flower.What is the best soil or soil mix for me to use in a growbox as i cant use garden soil as i live near the ocean and everywhere where i live is sand.

Well you know how the regular leaves on a plant generally only get 3-5 leafers... well one i was growing a while back had upto 13 individual points per leaf it was crazy... dows anyone know why this may have happened ? do certain strains produce more or less of what ?

Hey fellas, i finally got back on line.I was a little bit slow in paying my phone bill.so telstra the tight assses cut me off Any way hope everyone is well and have'nt caught swine flu yet.......,,,,,,,,, , spaceleaf.....
