General Cultivation Q&A

Hey guys.. strictly speaking its not quite the first because I got some little plants here. Going by the leaf shape, they are a variety of indica. Got the seeds ages ago off a mate, to my surprise they sprouted ok but then felt victim to gray mold. I don't know if they will survive.. Anyway.. I'd like to get some seeds and need recommendations please. My criteria’s are 1) Suitable for indoor / hydro / organic nute 2) Suitable for a newbie (eg easy to clone, forgiving to nute & ph errors) 3) Fungus resistant! 4) Ideally a sativa / indica mix that doesn't take too long to flower

hhmm saw an aerogarden informacial today and was thinking, hey it's not that bad of a device to grow some skunk... so jus wondering if anyone actually use that system before i mean it seems like a plug and forget thing the lights seem pretty week is ti possible to change it? worth it to get 2 set up and use one for mothers/clones and another for flowering? also would it be a bad idea to put those 2 setup in a wardrobe, looks like they can fit in

Ok well i just started a 5 plant crop near my local botanical gardens and i have lugged them up a huge hill just off a track, very dense scrub very steep lots of lose rocks. Right now i have them in a woodchip-like potting mix i found and its extremely lose. so i have 2 questions, 1 what soil (perfferably potting mix i can buy) should i use? 2 what nutes should i use for veg and then for flower? keep in mind i gotta carry all this stuff to my spot

Heyas, How do you guys store your MJ? Is it possible to store an oz for use a year later? What methods do you guys use to store your MJ and keep it fresh. Does the potency diminish over time? Cheers.

So i had a bagseed froma while ago and i thought id try germinate it and see what happened. anyway i did the glass of water method and it sunk after 3 days and looked like it had cracked so i picke dit out and squeezed it a little. what an idiot, it cracked clean in half, but i could see the white root thing inside and thought id throw it in some coir mix for a bit of fun. left it in the coir for a couple of weeks, drenched it in water and after that 2 weeks nothing had sprouted. not to mention that it has been sitting on the floor near a window with temp range between 11-15 the whole time. So i thought no way it would sprout so i had a little dig and what do you kn…

Hi all I'm currently on my 3rd weed grow but i have grown other plants hydroponically plenty of times. However this particular grow is giving me a little grief i think i am doing all the same things as usual but my plants look a little stressed and the growth rates are poor. The grow system and room are new and there are a few questions i would like some feed back on. The watering system is a recirculating one i made myself because my commercial grow table wouldnt fit in this place. See pic The water gets back to the main tub (black tub with fan on top to the right of image) via gravity. I suspect my plants are stressed for one or combination of a few rea…

Nothingmuch to say really. Bill showed me his clones, he likes to use jiffy pots. I had trouble last time I used them, something like a decade ago but, and lots of people told similar tales of how they couldn;t get them to work, same sort of tales of how they were gross on seed planting too. Anyway, I saw Bill's clones and the bloody roots he had exposed looked like something from a horror movie. They were awsome, something Speilberg would be proud to scare some-one with. Anyway, just thought I'd get a few jiffy pots and run them half/half rockwool clones against jiffy pots. I'm convinced they're the shit, but I can't incorporate them into my indoor style of growin…

What flowering additives have been best for you? I've only used a product called Steroid, which has super high P/K values (30% or so). Does any one else use it? How does it compare to 'highly recommended' products like Monster bloom, Big bud, Overdrive, and Monster bud/Ozi tonic? Any thoughts are appreciated, Cheers
