General Cultivation Q&A

hey guys! another hurdle.. i relocated the plants into a bigger grow room under hps, repotted.. now it's ideal temperature in there but the water retention of my soil isn't that great. it's coco with perlite.. since its half hydro anyway i need to set up an automated watering system that i can top up say once every 3 days. it's too conspicuous for me to water these twice a day where they are. what do i need to know? i have to find out: 1.What type and where i can get a water pump for this small install? they're drinking about 1 litre each per day including evaporation so i'll get a resevoir to hold about 15 litres or so. 2. what sort of irrigation is best? that ring arou…

Hey all, Just grew my first plant and now have a few questions. I grew it outdoors, in a pot. As it was planted towards the end of summer, didn't get very long to veg before it started flowering. Its only about 30cm tall. There are a few others planted at the same time (i threw a bunch of old seed in the pot just to see if they would grow) but they are between 15-20 cm only.. Seems to have turned out okay, it was just sitting in the garden with some other herbs and didn't get any special care. What I am wondering is if there is any way to clone these ones, now that they have already started flowering and there aren't really any leafy branches out on such a small pla…

Havn't got the $$$ for a double heat mat, but have waaay too many clones for the old single to deal with , so... came up with this idea... Whats do ya's think? will it work? anyone tried it? major oversights? ???? I have everything to make it except the slotted tray (should have got one with the dome ) THC PS. oh and lighting will be from 2x 18w fluro's

Hi I bought "cal Max" today for a suspected calcium deficiency and when I got home I realised It also has added nitrogen NPK 2-0-0. This shits me cause I don't want to mess with my NPK ratios. The other product "Cal Mag Plus" has it also. Why do they have to add nitrogen? Just wondering if there are any alternative products. Thanks

I'm planning to try grow a few plants along near where I live. I live in a sorta city area though so bush areas are out of the question. It's just for shits and giggles to see if they'll actually grow. The spot will most likely be along a train line or other spots that are "in plain sight" so to speak, but where people don't actually walk or look to hard at. I plan to put it in a camo'd pot 3/4th the way into the ground hidden away from sight and inbetween other bushes and plants. I'll go back to the spot when ever I need to and give it a bit of TLC, trim, maybe some spray, etc. (in the wee hours of the morning or late late at night obviously) Anyway, when I go scout…

ok.... right now im not using a gallon of water at each watering, but all nutes and such call for an x amount of nutes per gallon of water. a couple questions to illustrate my ignorance. 1. if i mix up a gallon, can i keep what i dont use for the next couple feedings? 2. am i limiting the nutes if i dont use the per gallon system? 3. i SUCK at math and fractions and what not, what measuring system will be easiest and most accurate so im not over/under nuting? 4. anything i can get to make it all easier?
