General Cultivation Q&A

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

hey hey i love to clone i get usually 100% strike rate with jiffys and powder hormone but im tackling rockwool atm personally i hate the stuff never had a success with it so i soaked me cubes in ph water at 4.5 this time the ph reading this morn is 6.2 is that ok for taking clones? any liitle tid bits that make it easier please dont hesitate to share.. take care and stay safe bill

I've been a fan of CANNA from the first time I used their products. I haven't used all they have, but those things I have tried worked exactly as they said they would. Especially the rizontic which I think should be listed under the sub-heading of "Magic" Anyway, I see they have a new product, either it's out or it's going to be released soon. Something called "CANNA AQUA". It sounds too good to be all it says. No adjusting the PH? I mean it doesn;t say hey have buffers, their products are "more stable" than they used to be...it actually claims the PH will remain between 5.2 and 6.2 without us needing to do a thing. I realise a full point is a big differnc inPH, but …

HAbill, just thought i'd share the meanings of the name KALI for you as a thanx for being a decent human cheers mate spaceleaf.......... it says something about shiva mating with kali... mmm...billo's black shivakali??? .....spaceleaf......

Just wanting to know, as a flowering plant continues to sprout new shoots is it harmful to continue taking cuttings, should I avoid taking cuttings or is this a good time to make clones if I know it is a female? I've just got a few plants that I've been growing indoors, I'm probably flowering them a bit early. Any comments would be greatly appreciated.

ive been having trouble with clones getting going, and i just noticed my 2 part grow nutes part B has salt biuld up hard stuff at botton so i chucked it out, would this be the trouble im having was about 1 year old?
