General Cultivation Q&A

newer to starting threads than growing in coco, so i hope this is the correct place and formatt for a discussion on coco have 2 ladies, one sattiva dom, one indica dom, with what looks like about 3 wks to go, under a 4 and a 6 hps in a 1.2x1.2m room, in coco handwatered with canna coco. in coco should one flush the pot through well.. allow to drain... apply nutes and back in tha room, or, not fertilize that night but do it the next cycle, to flush the plants as well as medium? probably a waste of forum space, sorry if it is. thanks if you can help

Is there a definitive guide on how to grow using , flood and drain , drip systems in perlite , DWC etc ? I am after complete instructions on watering times etc for each . I know I could do a search , but I am after a complete guide , not just some threads . Cheers CG

Soilgrow. 3 belladonnas from paradise seeds and one single aurora indica from nirvana seeds day 24 12/12. The belladonnas grow quickly and the bud development really starts to show now. The aurora plant seems more sensitive and cant take as much nutes as the donnas. Will for the first time try to use pk 13/14 from Atami( using together with atami Terra max. Will start giving 2 of the belladonnas pk 13 14 tomorrow....do u think it will do any difference?Time will tell:)Anyone used atami products? They claim its organic.

Hey I'm really curious about how to make a plant with varrious strains on the one rootstock. Like you see citrus trees with mandarin, oranges limes or whatever; grafted all on one rootstock, I imagine the same can be done with grass can it? I have limited space for parent plants, and if for no other reason than to "store" genes, and be able to reasonably quickly get a particular strain going, without having to go through seed sprouting, selection, culling bla bla bla...Once I've gone through that, why not graft a splice of the plant that was left after all the selection, onto a single vigorous rootstock and "shelve " it for when it's needed? Is this possible without mud…

Hi I'm a newbie indoor grower. Up until a week ago I had my plants and clones outside. Now I've built a grow room. I took 5 cuttings from a female 3 weeks ago, but she was flowering. For the past week I have had them sharing the grow room for 12 under a 400HPS and then putting them outside for another 12 of oznatural. They aren't showing any signs of vegeing, and if anything the flowers seem to be getting bigger. I only have 1 grow room and the littlies have to share with the bigger ones and are >50cm from the bulb. Any suggestions to force vegeing?

this is not my design but thought it was worth the post. credit goes to Hoosierdaddy's off another site. 4 -4" 90's @ $4ea $16 1 5ft 4" pipe $7 48" bubbler wand $14 air pump $10 two port air bank $3 20ft silicone air line $8 10 ft 1/4 nylon tubing $3 Smart Valve $20 Pots (Nawsome pet treat containers or Pringles cans) Total $81 add for reservoir cost (Coleman cooler, etc...) & fittings $30 If you have your own res, you are in under $100 The rooting pots will have a couple of inches of perlite in the bottom and the rest straight coco. It has a 48" air bubbler line that will run beneath all the root pots, and an additional air stone in the res. http://i36.tinypic.…

Hello all, Long story made short, I think I have a hermaphrodite and want to know what my options are because I would like to keep the plant without impregnating it. Posting pictures tonight because the ones I took on my phone earlier are bad. I started my plants from bag seeds. When they were potted for the first time they grew like... well... weeds outside. Quickly sprouting some 12 inches in their first 2 weeks. I became concerned about neighbors and decided to move everything into my shed and set up an indoor grow room. Of the 10 plants I started 9 survived strong and one gave up all hope. I re-potted my plants into larger containers and moved 8 indoors, keeping o…

hi a few more noob questions please bare with me. I want to try a very BASIC attempt, happy to learn as I go but I'm just not able or want to make this anything significant. I guess I'm cutting corners before I start :| - potting a couple (2) seeds that have sprouted (flukey I reckon). can i use some sort of pre-mix soil (seed mix) from a gardening shop? what would do an ok job? what's my next easiest option? - I'm reading all sorts of stuff about lighting. Do I have to mess with the electrics of my house or can i just plug in a 250w light? Confused. - When do I start worrying about ph and plant food/fertilizers? Big Thanks.

High everyone... I am from Virginia and I'm going to Jamaica for the first time!!!!!! I hope to bring back seeds. Does anyone have any suggestions and or thoughts on bringing seeds into the United States? Peace, Sharon

Ok, so I phoned my sister and her girlfriend the other day, yes she is gay. They grew for over 10 years and told me a really good way of converting your MJ plants from Male to female or more so, using this method prior to signs of sex's. They told me to use female urine. Yes Human urine. Now I know Most people on this forum are male, so please dont dismiss this thread if you have no clue. But it seemed a bit odd to me at first, but after a few moments I thought it would be very much so plausable due to the fact that female urine is quite hormonal, and these strong female hormones have an influence on the plant. They also reasured me that this was not bad for the plant eit…

Hope these pics work! Im hoping these funny bits at the nodes are just the beginnings of more branches/leaves. the whole plants look like a female in structure? What do people think?

Hi people, got a couple of W Widow cupboard style in soil my custom cupboard will allow them to reach 60cm tall max! otherwise they will likely burn under the 400w HPS.They appear to be quite bushy at 30cm tall will enduce flowering at say 40/50 cm. I know people say that they can double in height from the first flowers through to fully matured but in my experiences with soil grows they usually don't grow more than 25% of the original size during the flowering period. What could I expect from this strain at this height of 60cm?I would expect an ounce max of each plant due to the small area and potential size being only 60cm tall. What do you guys estimate ?

Everyone seems to say something different when it comes to PH levels. What is your ideal PH level?

Hey Guys Im new here and was told about this place by my friend G-love who is a member here.....im a soil grower and im always looking to improve my growing. G-love told me about a grow diary thats one this site were a grower got 9oz from 1 plants, does anyone know which diary he is talking about and has a link for it? Any help would be great Thanks Brad Ps my entry for the bud competition

Hey boys, my Plan is going into action over the next few weeks. ill try and cover the area's and details as best as possible. Any feed back and insight is great Ok, so firstly the strain. Through HGS im getting a tri-pack which includes Northern lights #5, White Widdow and of corse Blueberry. From my understanding these are all mostly indica strains, which is obviously idea for what im trying to achieve. I have currently been at my house for 8 years, and have never ordered seed's or grow marijuana on this premesis. No one will be moving into this house for the next 6 weeks, so this will be the adress, the seeds are delivered too. Mean time, I am moving out in just ov…
