General Cultivation Q&A

Hi Gang, This is a recipe I use for an outdoor grow:- Use roughly 1/3 of a bucket of "old" cow or sheep manure the same amount of compost two handfuls of chicken pellets Place them in a porous bag tie the neck up and soak in 50 liters of water. for about 2 weeks. almost fill a 10 liter bucket with water and some of the brew. add a tablespoon of fish emulsion add a small amount of liquid potassium and the same amount of seaweed concentrate. Now this is far to strong, so put 1 liter into a watering can and top up with water. and bingo. cheers Gills

ALWAYS USE YOUR OWN JUDGEMENT WHEN SHOPPING ONLINE Hi all As most of you have probably done or are currently doing, we like to shop online for those bargains when it comes to things like those expensive lights, fans and other equipment. I propose (if it has not already been done and I have completly missed it) that we create a comprehensive database on who stocks the best gear at the best prices. Now, I dont mean Ebay or anything like that (unless we are talking about a consistantly good Ebay seller), just good everyday prices and good package deals. Thanks

Hello One and All, I am new to your site and not very computer literate but I can grow a decent plant, and would like to post some photos, so if anyone can help I am listening

I just read the post about adding flavors or aromas to your buds during the final flush but I was wondering/hoping someone could speak from experience on the stuff you apparently can buy at the hydro shop. I haven't looked into them yet but hearing from people who have used it before would have to be better than the shop guys hype. Do they mess up your res? Do they actually add flavor to the bud - like, noticeable when you smoke it? Or is it just a fragrance thing when it's in the jars? Jimbo

Hi stoners I'm in the early stages of a coco/perlite grow with Growth Technology coco nutes. Seedlings are 5 days old sativa and i'm feeding them 1/2 strength nutes as per directions on the bottle with a drop of superthrive. Problem is my ppm reading is only 600 at this strength. Seems a bit low to me What do ya reckon guys? Should i up the strength a bit?

Hi everyone. A while ago I was asking around what to use as a material for making a growhouse in the backyard. An old fella I know grows prize winning flowers in "igloo" looking greenhouses, quiet large afairs. 20 odd feet tall, 30 or so feet long and wide, in a dome shape. The interesting feature I found is the material is like a white plastic-PVC looking stuf. For pot, I'd reckon plants would do best if raised as high as possible in the arrangement, up on tables perhaps. However he's grown garden vegetables in them,and they do fine. He mainly grows South American plants that don't need lots of light,so it's all moote to him. The old bloke's 96 years old BTW, and if I c…

Happy New year and all that crap!! Been miserable ..my indoor fried during those stinking hot days and usual story no one got any quantity!

Any idea's how to keep the outdoor scent down if it gets worse! cheers Oilburner! Dreamin' about being

Gday, Ive got a question about my plant! I have one plant outdoors, started from seed around mid October, it is now around 75cm tall, quite bushy and is starting to develop a few white hairs along some parts of the stem. What the? My understanding is that it should continue vegetative growth as the days are getting longer? Does this show of hairs mean that it is definitely a female and will bud once the days are shorter and it stops growing? Any help greatly appreciated.
