General Cultivation Q&A

Stolen from somewhere else on the internet and purely for example purposes is this square container bubbler http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/276/bubbler022cb8.jpg For small scale grows is it worth loading a system such as that up with 3/4 plants? I'm looking at having a go at a small stealth cabinet; Very small fluro mother/clone room on the top/bottom and a main chamber 150/250/400 cool tube with a couple of plants in a drip/bubbler system. So what is the most effective for a general yield be it scrog, tieing down, toping, natural or whatever for these stealth setups? 1,2,3,4 plants? Less plants more room to grow? As many as you can fit regardless of them ge…

Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone knows about how early in the season you can plant outdoors around the sunny coast. Also how many harvests you could get out of one year. I'm new to this so i know pretty much bugger all, but i have heard the general planting time in Oz is end of winter/start of spring (sept-oct). I was thinking maybe it's fairly warm up there so the cold might not be such an issue? Any info would be great. Jazzm

I had a look throug a few pages but could not find what i was after. Im taken my swiss bliss to a mate who just got a 400w hps setup in a proper grow cabinet. We are using seed raising mix with some perlite mixed. It came with all the res, pumps & stuff but we are goin soil & hand water till we get the hang of it. So for 1 plant in soil hand watered.... what would be the best flower nutes to buy & would the 1lt A+B do a 9 week flower? After we get better we have some Jack herer

I was wandering if cloning a seedling was a good way of improving a seedling's longevity. My house mate believes it will increase the seedlings life, but he believes cloning may damage the DNA, and result in ending up with a plant of lower quality. My understanding is that cloning replicates the genotype thus making identical chromosomes, and if any of those chromosomes were damaged it would be due to cell mutation from an external environmental factor, which of course would influence the phenotype which is never garanteed to be identical because cloning only replicates genetic characteristics not physical. Can cloning damage the genetics of a plant without any environm…

I seem to have a resin sack growing out of the center of 1 leaf, I've never seen a plant do this and I've had a few grows of the years, the pic's ar'nt the best, Cheerss wacked

This might be a new product, I happened upon it while shopping for rooting hormones that I could add to the water in my aeroponic cloner. It's used as a foliar spray, first to the mothers, and then to the clones. My cuttings went in the cloner late on Dec 28th. I checked today and about 1/3 have roots! The aerocloner does work fast, but never this fast! All are healthy, and the roots look to be a day or two old, with fine hairs and about a thumbnail in length. I'm impressed. The stuff has a vitamin smell to it before mixing, and the spray has no smell at all.
