General Cultivation Q&A

Am i being too paranoid seeing helicopters flying over, can they acutally detect grow rooms?? just some info to put my mind at rest ..

hey i just want to no if any1 has heard of germinating seeds in a shot glass of water and a tiny bit of clonex because i got told that it works well because it promotes rooting and makes the plant female its worked 4 me on 3 different plants they've all been female but i dont no wether its a flook or just that i happend to have good seeds or that the tip this old man told me works. so if any1 no's of this method let us no but im gonna keep doing it till it stops working cheers dirtyman??

my ph keeps going down and id like to know if somethings wrong.everything ive read says ec stable-ph going up is normal.im in my 4th week veg,ichange my nutes every week,using tap water which is pretty good here.plain water out of tap reads 100 ppm which is the lowest my scale goes,could be less.ph goes down everyday about .2 til it hits 5.5 then i raise it to 6.0.plants look good and are growing well which i know is key(listen to you plants).but it seems strange.any feedback would be appreciated.thanks in advance!! also im using liquid earth 2 part nutes at 700 ppm .5 scale which is what seedbank says they like NL X AK47

so yesterday i tranzplanted from a small 1.5 inch rockwool cube and could see the taproot poking its lil self out a bit . and today when i checked out the 5 inch cube the little bastard was stickin out the bottom!! but the plant itself barely looks bigger, i mean the leaves are a bit broader but thats it . just a question though.... i mean im feeding it high 9-14-8 right now...could that be why? i mean if i switched to my other sheeeit making it 24-14-17 would that make it grow better as a whole or do you think that would poison the shit out of it...? it looks real perrrrty right now though so im doin good i assume Merc.

I cant find a definitive answer.what is the correct ppm/ec for dwc.I hear its 1/2,1/3,2/3, of other setups.Im shore there are variables but there must be a rule of thumb.(northern lights x ak47)

So for about 2 weeks now three plants have showed their sex Ive got two lovely ladys and 1 male that is growing balls at a fast rate i had no idea when the balls would open but yesterday i didnt keep an eye on my grow room until later that night and i discovered that one of the balls had opened. will this pollinate my crop? because this is my first grow and i really dont want seedy bud. i know its only 1 flower that opened but what are the chances. i got out a spray bottle and misted my females to get off the pollen if thats possible.
