General Cultivation Q&A

Hi, Believe it or not, I've only been using Coco media for about a couple of months. Before that I'd always used vermeculite and or perlite. I've found this stuff (coco) to be quite outstanding as far as growth is concerned and was wondering how it would work with clones instead of rockwool. Has anyone here used coco to strike roots in clones and are there any caveats or even hints on using this media ?

Hi everyone, this is my first post here. Been reading alot, learning alot its a good place. I am in the process of getting some Caramelicious seeds and have 2 questions regarding this. 1) has anyone here grown it and smoked it ? 2) how tall and wide would the plant have to be to produce about 25ounces or 1.5pounds however you want to look at it. im just looking for an average figure, nothing specific down to the mm

For a really great growing medium use the following and follow the correct amounts. 6 Buckets of course washed river sand 3 Bucket of fine sand/hard wood saw dust 3 Buckets of peat 250grams Superphosphate 15grams Borax 3grams Magnesium sulphate 275grams IBDU (1, 1-Diureidoisobutane N, N’’-(2-methylpropylidene) bisurea Isobutylenediurea) 750grams Calcium carbonate 112grams Potassium sulphate 112grams Iron sulphate 162.5grams Magnesite (Magnesium Carbonate) Mix dry then wet. Happy Growing

Mystery seeds, arent they fun. Friend of mine gave me a few seeds that he found in a dresser of his at his moms house that he had forgotten about. Germinated both seeds in Rockwool. The seedlings were approximately the same size when they were finally potted on 4/21 and 4/24. Grown since then nestled between some of my white widows under 1000w mh continous, im not running anything exotic, room is usually 78-81f, and right about 30-31% humidity, normal soil mixture, little perlite, little potting soil, worm stuff, nothing major Aaren just took off. The growth on right plant, Bailey, is about what I expected, Aaren, on the other hand has me a little excited. The …

ok, so i want to grow indoors this year for the first time. only problem is i have parents who will kick my ass if they find out. so what would be a good idea to put it in? also i have a lamp but it probably wont work. what kind of lighting would work best for, like, 1 or 2 plants? i have a couple of good seeds and i can easily germinate them. got any tips or anything that would be useful to me? as i said this is FIRST time growing. i also started about 3 plants outdoors about 1 week ago, the problem is i cant tell if they are weed sprouts or just a weed in general. what are some signs of knowing what it is. its about 3 cm tall and has a purple stem with little white fu…

hi all. maybe someone could help with an answer. i'm in my 4th weed of flowering some white widows in a 5 gal dwc system. one of my plants is developing curling under leaves to the point of clawing. everything i've read sez this is due to nute overload. my temp in bucket 69, air 75. ph 5.8-6.4, ec 1- down from 1.5 with no improvement in the last 4-5 days. my other 4 plants are cruising right along. i even tried a little mag++ without change. any other suggestions??

Hi all, Luckily I'm still here to write this as I was electrocuted last night in my flower room. Now I have always listened to the warnings that everyone so sensibly gives about raising ballasts etc off the floor, and checking connections but my 240v of love came from my res tank's heater exploding under water and delivering the current through 100l of nutes. All my tools are plastic so when I was checking the PPM & PH nothing happened - even my stirring paddle for mixing is plastic. But then I noticed on my Ph pen that the temp of the water was 18C - not the 24C it should be....??? So I reached in to feel whether the heater was warm and WHAM! I went flyin…

Hey all. Just wondering what Ec everybody is running for their Coco? Atm For veg (indoors) I'm running Around 1.4-1.6 (canna vega/ fulvic). For flower (outdoors) Im Alternating between 1.2 and 1.6. (DM Advance/fuvic and Megabud) This seems to be working ok with no obvious deficiencies. SO what are you running?

Hi everyone i really need some help and preferably fast. today i aquired a plant from someone who has no clue how to grow and had pretty much given up on it because it could possibly die had he not given it to me. its a sativa well at least im pretty sure it is because i have grown indica's before and they were bushy this thing is like a stick with a grouping of leaves near the top. the person who planted it used local soil from the area that also has sand in it. the person told me that he started it from seed more than 2 months ago and its growth has not been that great so far. this is because its only been getting maybe 14 hours of light because spring is just starting …
