General Cultivation Q&A

Heya's Just wondering with tap water so full of chlorine, what should I be watering my plants? Is there an easy way to disperse the chlorine? Rain water is apparently the best but its not really an option. Filtered water any good? Cheers.

Hi guys, has anyone here ever encounted plants with flat stems about 1/2" wide. A plant I grew outside years ago, had a flat stem on the very top of the plant, the head it produced was about 1ft long and curled , like a fern tree branch, you know the ones that are all curled up then uncurl out into branches. I seem to have another one, the plant is quite the mutant (in a good way) strange leafs, one leaf about the size of your hand, has a complete small leaf on a stem on the big leaf. This plant was turned to 12/12 a week ago, and now the top leaves seem stunned. This plant also branched itself into 2 top stems, only one of them is flat. Does anyone know what causes…

I may be able to get some seeds, but they are pretty old (3-4 years) and likely to be difficult to germinate. One essential at the moment (given it's winter) is an incubator of some kind that will maintain a constant temperature of around 27-30c. It would also be very nice if there was a heating element that the jiffy pots could sit on. Can anyone recommend something reasonably priced that would do the job? Thanks for any advice John

Hello Fellow Farmers,, Im in the 3rd week of veg from seeds and have been using the bio buzz range of ferts fro about 2 weeks now i have just repoted from 4 inch to larger pots about 2 days ago and was wondering if i should be considering flushing the plants with just plain water and if so how ??? ,, my understanding of flushing in soil is to drench the soil with at least 3-4 times the volume of water as to soil ie 1 liter pot to be flushed with 4 liter of water and left to drain for about 5 - 10 mins to remove any harmfull buildups then back to the ferts again ,, ,, or do you water then with plain water for a few days then back to the ferts ????? or should i not both…

Ok , I have grown for awhile , I just cant seem to get a decent yield like others on here !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I went from a wardrobe where I got 3 oz , to a space that was at least as twice as large ,, STILL got 3 OZ !!!!!!!!! I went to a LST method and still got 3 oz !!!!!!!!!!! I had heaps of little shit underneath which I think sucked the life out of the top buds , so the next LST grow I trimmed some of the understuff off ,, still got 3-4oz !!!!!!!!!!!1 I am talking 4 plants here ! How much shit do I trim off the bottom ? How far does the light penetrate ? I am using a 400 HPS . I will take some pics of this grow and hopefully someone will show me how …

High all I dunno if anyone has already chucked this in but i thought it might be helpful to some peeps http://www.growingedge.com/store/books_mul...tem.php?PID=165 Cheers Me

Well nearly in to the third week of flowering and am looking at using something like monsta bud or pk 13/14. I use Advanced Nutes Grow Micro Bloom 3 part with a bit of added Mg and Ca in the form of Epsom salt and dolomite lime. Growing in straight coco to ec meter and ph with liquid drops. Can I change the ratio instead of 1-1-1 G-M-B have 1-2-3 G-M-B so less N more P K. Anyway comments what you use what works for you? Cheers.

Folks I've been reading alot about what people have been doing with COCO as the growing medium on here and it doesn't seem too hard however I googled some of these canna products for use with the COCO medium and it seems as if you need alot of products and testers etc to do it properly?? I don't think I'm really interested in stuffing round with test kits and liquids and buffers just so the damn plants can absorb the nutrients you are feeding them. I only hand water as this works best for me Can you get away with power feed and seasol or other organic nutes in COCO?? Otherwise I think I'll go back to an organic soil mix, which yielded quite well under 400hps
