General Cultivation Q&A

This is my first attempt at growing so I'm rather unsure of the right steps to take and what to look out for. I've done all the basics, sterilise, pH neutral water, rhyzo and 18/6 lighting but the plants look like their growth is somewhat stunted and going downhill. I flush the water almost every day. There are two batches of plants in the dome, the bigger ones are 2 weeks older than the smaller ones. Rockwool cubes started showing signs of blackish spots so I transplanted them into new rockwool and they're leaves started to turn yellow.. Please advice on what I should do now to salvage them.

Hey everyone, I just made my first order of seeds--YEY After weeks of buggerizing around looking at different seed banks and reading all the posts I could find, I finally decided on Ice cream by Paradise Seeds. I went Planet Skunk mainly because of the NAB deposit, and ordered the feminized seeds. I've included the link if anyone's interested in having a look see. http://www.planetskunk.com/icecream-p-301.html Was just wondering if anyone here has had any experience with this strain--either smokin or growing it? I am so frigging excited about my first grow that I want to do as much as I can to make a nice home for these foreign ladies. I went to the Hydro store ye…

O.k I know the main thing a cannabis plant need is Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium, but about how much zinc, iron, and those other chemical elements should be in my fertilizer mix, depending on vegetative and fruit stage? Also I would like to know what your ph levels should look like? How much vermiculite, and perlite, should be in the soil mix, also should peat moss be mixed in? I cant remember if it made a difference. Also would a 2.5 gallon bucket be good enough for this project? I wanna get my hands on some BlueCheese, but by me living in Illinois, USA I don't know if it would actually come, or what would be a good site to buy them from, without anyone showing up …

OK , I want to dabble in this area of PGRs . What is the best and easiest PGR to use to add BIG weight to my buds ?

the idea behind a vertical grow is to maximize light foot print. traditional grows only leave you with nice top colas. wouldn't if be nice if that nice top cola was the whole plant! This is my V-Tub. Very simple to make very simple to grow high yields. this can be used in bigger applications as well feel free to shoot any questions. Materials 10cm hole saw 10cm Hose adapter 10cm Inline Fan/blower (2) 75L tubs (4) cool tube: recommend 250-400 Start with lining the insides of both tubs with reflective tape/mylar or paint. http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff96/5ampson/IMG_3570.jpg use your hole saw to cut a hole in the dead center of the top tub http://i238.photobucke…

Completely new to growing, about to attempt it for the first time out doors... From the things I've read, when growing indoors, you change the lighting to 12/12 when they're about 30cms tall to make them flower, right? How do you make them flower when growing outdoors? I know that naturally it will happen, but how do you make it happen before the plants get too big? I don't want to have a giant pot plant in my backyard, and I don't really want to go to the trouble of growing indoors. So, how would I go about this outdoors?
