General Cultivation Q&A

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 ?????

So I’ve got 8 x clones of choc skunk cbd just taken from an indoor plant that’s just about to flip. I also Just received my long awaited sss beans (Zombie Disco and nice chunk). I’m going to do both and outdoor and another indoor run. My query is to what others would do given the same situation; 1. Grow a mixture of all strains both outdoors and indoors? Fun but challenging especially indoors. 2. Grow 1x specific strains in a specific set up so you can really dial it in to the one strain. Anyone else like me stupid enough to want do all three both indoors and outdoors at the same time to see the differences and compare? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Just had 3 new seeds crack overnight in glass of water. Transferred to wet towel method ( on plate) on a heatmat. Will put them in a 2 inch soil pot in a day or 2, once taproot shows more prominently. Once I move them to soil, should I put the pots on a windowsill ( facing sun), or are they ok to leave on heatmat( in darkness) until they just pop the surface of the soil ?? Some seedbanks advise there is no need for ANY light until seeds break surface of soil, which seems contrary to nature?

So I'm trimming my feminised northern lights that's been hanging just over a week. I'm finding the occasional seed in the bud So my question is, is this normal, and would they be any good to grow? Cheers

Tried sprouting a few Dinafem strains( seeds) purchased recently from Seedsman. 5 Moby dick and 3 critical. Two and a half weeks later, nothing. They all sunk to bottom of glass of water after one day. As soon as they sunk I put them in moist paper towel and sandwich bag on a heatmat indoors, and still no sprouts showing after 17 days. Later, I started 3 Aussie Canna (Afghan Kush) strains using exactly the same method about a week ago, and all 3 sprouted - unfortunately lost them to the cold in a leaking outdoor greenhouse. Put another two SSS (super deluxe) in water two days ago, first one opened this morning. I can only assume the overseas seeds were all duds. S…

Hi people Just a quick question. Seedlings in Rockwool, when do I move them over to my medium? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

This is everything beans/seed making.

Hey guys. I have 3 plants going and have determined 2 are female,but struggling with the 3rd. It hasn't grown as well/tall as the other 2, but is short and will be bushy. Might be too early to determine for sure, but I was trying to work it out as I will be away for 4 days. If it was a male/hermy, when do they normally open up? I should be ok to leave them in the early stages hey? They are about 3 or 4 weeks old from seed. I can see pistils on the top section of the plant, but confused with another area. They are tiny but, so I might just be paranoid. I'll attach some pics Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app
