General Cultivation Q&A

The other night I was reading an older post on how to build a DWC set up, I was that baked I can't find it again, it was a fantastic tutorial with great pic's, too baked to bookmark the page Anyhow, this is the setup I have decided to go with, I have now gathered all of the required equipment and should be ready to go in the next week I have some seed on the way from Nirvana, but the only thing that concerns me is how the seedling will get water & nutes being so high up in the medium?? The only other thing I need to know is what is the optimum temp to keep the water at?? My setup will be a 4 pot system growing Supergirl and PPP! Cheers! Canaman

Hi there all. Just wondering if anyone has done an organic coco grow? I use the Canna range mostly but wouldn't mind giving organic coco growing a go. Any information about the nutrients (brands etc), the grow itself and the end result would be greatly appreciated.

hey guys have been speaking to a few of you guys on the forum here on the site and most of you have suggested it is time to start giving my babys some nutes considering they are 3+ weeks old... so was wondering if this is the best option to go with my coco/perlite outdoor grow Hydroponic Dutch Master Hot coco/Original Grow A+B 1ltr any comments are welcome guys shroomyshroom

well dudes, i have been reading a little about water cloning and i like what i read, so i thought i would give it a go, these are Red Devil clones i am taking, should have done it weeks ago but being a slackass i didn't, i have basically followed the procedure in another thread (forget which one exactly) here a a few pics of how i have set it up, there is about 150mm or 18litres of solution underneath the foam lid, which came from those foam food boxes used in the industry, if this style works it really is too easy, will keep posting on the progress

Hi there everyone. I'm still new to this and was wondering for how I should flush? I'm growing in coco, using Canna nutes and into my seventh week of flowering (8 week strain). Any hints and tips would be appreciated. Also, what should I be looking out for before I start the flushing process?

I have a problem, think my ph is way too high. Plants are in soil. 50/50 worm castings and organic potting mix. I transplanted one plant and gave it a light spray with a weak solution of Seasol, about 2 mill to one ltr of water. The result was the yellowing of the leaves and slowed growth. The other plant I have left in original pot and I gave that a spray as well not as much as the transplanted one. But it has slight yellowing on the tips of the new growth. I am just giving them straight water atm. Above is the transplanted plant. This one has yellowing on tips of new growth.

Ok I know I'm a STRANGER!! but I'm going to ask anyway..... Has anyone tried adding flavors to their grow? and if so how did you do it? I mean did you add apple juice to your ferts, or grated orange peels to your growing medium? Could it be done?

A few yrs ago I had seeds that grew variegated shade leaves ( white and green ) They looked like pure indicas and were very well camoflaged in the bush Unfotunatly the seeds were destroyed and I didn't take photos. Anyone ever seen this before and better still got photos.

Is it as easy as trimming all the branches off to achieve a single cola plant (crop) like the picture shown below..?

Im using two rooms .. One for clones & veg and the other for flowering.. Problem is if i leave them in the veg room waiting for the ones in the flowering room to harvest they end up way too tall for the flowering room (9-12 weeks in flower room). Cloning Method: Clones are placed thru some foam and floating in ph adjusted water for 48 hours, then into rockwool, clay balls and basket until they have developed roots. Then i slowly increase the nuits over the next 3-4 weeks. This has been a very successful method in the past. What im thinking of trying: What will happen if i also turn the colne & veg room into another flower room..?. Using the same method for …

I'm starting to wonder if using additives like Monsta Bud and Ozi Tonic are really worth the time, effort and especially the extra $'s :scratchin Anybody out there done a comparison grow with and without? I've used Monsta Bud on my past two grows and I'm wondering if I would be better off using a different nute to get the same result. This shot shows my current grow and a bud at 5 weeks that's had the recommended dosage of Monsta Bud and I'm not all that impressed. I'm using the Hydrobotanics Bloom/Monsta Bud combination in the flower stage and they were vegged using Bud Pounder. I flowered my last grow (Bubbleberry) with the Bud Pounder Bloom nute and a bit of Monsta …
