General Cultivation Q&A

I’m pleased to be member of the forums which is considered the best forum for cannabis cultivation  I have been reading a whole lot of post by the experienced members with lots of posts that are quite interesting and educating and don’t stab newbie’s so I couldn’t hold back in registering. I have general question regarding flowering if anyone could help I would be really appreciative My babies are around 21" now, I’m quite pleased to say for my first grow there doing gr8 and their only doing great because I have been reading almost every post and following experienced users posts and suggestions  This is my situation, I’ve been using “Dutch Masters One” produ…

Hi everybody, I'm new here, I have grown cannabis many times but this is the first time i've seen something like that...on the leaves and buds of my shiva female, at the end of flowering , there were huge drops of transparent, stisky goo, randomly disperced throughout the plant. If burned the goo smells like burned goo, nothing like resin. I have harvested the plant and it is drying but the goo is very strange, like resin from a pine tree only completly transparent and relativly soft. Has anybody seen anything like it again?

This is probably a dumb question but I shall ask anyway in the hope someone who is knowledgeable can answer and thanks in advance to the person who does that for me. I currently am underway with 7 delightful looking outdoor stinkers. The seeds I have used are from a mixed bag I have collected over some time so hopefully I get a few nice females and the smoke is of good quality as all are doing well and looking fantastic. What I wish to know is if I decide to keep a male and separate it from the females and let it mature will the seeds I get from it be all male,hermaphrodite, or both female and male. Thanks to anybody who can help with this answer as I have always wondered…

I have a book called "The Connoisseur's Handbook of Marijuana" written by William Daniel Drake Jnr. 1971. In this book he shows how to graft a hop plant to a hemp plant a sativa plant. Has anybody tried this? Apparently hops & cannabis share quite similar biochemical constituents, particularly those of the tissue fluids and organic composition of the mature plant.

Hi all Most of my grows have been 8 - 9 week flowering cycles. (Indica i would think) The stretching stage i have experienced with this strain slows down to a slow crawl around the end of week 4 into week 5. and then just fattens up from there. After my last grow going for 12 weeks and could have gone for more. (that would be sativa yea?) What have you experienced with this strain with stretching? Does it ever bloody stop / slow down? What week have people noticed that it slows down? I need to know this to give me a better indication of how much head room i have now and how much more i will need later. Training it around is much easier now than later. but if i…

Hey guys, Im still in my first grow at the moment in the flower stage, i had 4 plants in 6 pots (3 = male, 1 = female) I was gonna let the male pollinate the female to get more seeds because i only have 10. I was told not to do this though so i ripped out the males *crys* and just kept the female. So i took some cuttings off the female in an attempt to clone. My question is, is this the easiest way to keep the room full? Also if im in the early stages of flower and once the clones are ready to go back into the grow room wont i have to switch lights and nutes back to grow, how will this effect the mother? Any feedback is loved.. Cheers

Hey all I'm growing two WW plants in my smaller grow room. I'm in 12/12 already (about 1 week preflower on vega nutes, 1 week on flores nutes). They havent shown the first hairs yet... My question is this: Do you think I'm going to run out of hieght before the they finish flowering? The Box is 1350 h x 600 w x 1000 L. I'm running recycled nutes under 1 x 600 hps. Already the larger of the 2 is about 450-500 mm high. The distance between the tops and the light is already only 12". They have filled the space nicely. From the research I've done, I take it they will suffer some if I 'tip them to slow vertical growth? Bending the tops will cost valuable light to the s…

Ok, I've spent weeks finding equipment and crap, 1) Grow box 1.5mx2mx2m (1.5 high) 2) 5x 4 Autopot systems 3) Hps, HID as usual. 4) the nutes 5) Ozone air filter 6)prop tray 7) rockwool cubes 8) CFL grow (light for cloning) 9) Expanded clay balls 10) Timers, and temp gauges 11) Fan (small for inside grow tent) AM I MISSING ANYTING? Does anyone have any information reguarding Belladonna strain and afghanica strain? they look tasty. Does anyone have any info on starting a fake PO box either? Plus in 6 months I'll send it in for canna porn.

Hi all, Simple question that im finding hard to answer. What is the optimum temp my main nutrient reservoir should be set at? It is a recirculating sprinkler system with drippers at the top. Cheers Buddy.g
