General Cultivation Q&A

Hey. So today's the big day for my seedlings. They're around 16 days old, each one with 4 leaves, and I'm transplanting them from their rockwool-filled sprouting cups to my GH Waterfarms. Gonna put them in the center of the drip ring in a little patch of rockwool. Got slight nutrients added, and pH at around 6.3. Only thing I'm worried about is the distance between the little guy's roots and the drip ring. There's about a 1.5 inch (4cm) radius around where I think their roots will go and where the ring actually drips. Is this ok? Seems like a long ways to go.

Just kinked (cinked?) the main stem just then trying to do LST. I have proped it up with a stick to stop it from dying (I hope) but its still bent. Do you think it will recover? do you think I'll need to get a pic up? It is my best plant to, so I hope she's ok...

Yea this is a Shiva Skunk male that i kept to make some homebrand seeds , but now ive found 2 pollen sacs with a single pistal protruding from sac (see photo) ... its the 1st time i seen this ona male , but i should add that the plant has been kept in the bathroom and gets 12hrs of fluro light and an interupted 12hrs dark , so maybe this showing of an odd pistal has been induced by stress ?? now what im wondering is if i use pollen from this male plant will it contain the hermie gene .. what do you reckon ??

mix asprin in water give to female plant approx half way through flowering cycle male pollen will start growing on plant same as hermaphrodite only all the pollen contains only x crhomosones therefore any seeds that may form are genetically female seeds prone to hermaphrodites when grown indoors no problem with self pollination growing outdoors in southeast tas to solve any hermaphrodite problems indoor soak all seeds in seed soak should have no problems like to hear from anyone who may have heard or tried this technique

Ok, before I go out and buy lowryder 2 seeds what are people's opinions on what the smoke is like? I want something that will give me some bud buy the end of dec, early jan. so thats why i want LD2, but I dont want some shit bud. Whats the high like? And how much does one need to smoke before one gets HIGH/STONED? Thanx

Starting a new grow and i will be mixing some coco-peat with fine pearlite in 60/40 ratio. I will flush until water is clear and finish with PH adjusted water. Test PH and EC. The coco-peat is in brick form richgro brand. I plan to use GT or DM coco nutes on the 2 darlings and will be hand watering. Veg will be done under 400W MH and flowered under a HPS. 1) Should I sterilize the mix before transplanting my seedlings in there and how can i do this? 2) Can i start the seeds in a comercial seed raising soil or should i start them in the coco/pearlite mix with some 1/2 strength nutes thrown in? Keep in mind I will be transplanting into the coco/pearlite mix before goi…

I just had a look at a site that tells you the daylight length for every day of the month & saw that 12/12 is not till march 25 but i read that we only have 2 months left till flowering starts. timeanddate.com says that there is 14hr most of Jan

Hey everyone. My twin Bubblegum sprouts are getting pretty tall and growing more leaves. I'd say they're maybe 12 days old at this point. They still seem to fit just fine in their sprouting cups and the rockwool cubes they've been growing in have worked out thus far. I've got 2 General Hydro Waterfarms (basic bubble buckets w/drip rings) ready to go under a 400w HPS light in my closet. I was thinking I'd move them over this weekend, keeping the existing roots surrounded with the rockwool and planting them in the clay pebbles I've got in the buckets. From there, I'd use the nutrients I got with said buckets according to the grow chart. I figured I'd have the light on for a…

My plant sprouted about 9-10 weeks ago and is looking healthy after a rough start. since it started flowering its growth rate has more than doubled. how do you think she looks? (since she is they only plant i have i decided to name her.... Abby ;P Indica or Sativa what do you think? http://img35.picoodle.com/img/img35/9/10/11/f_Picture009m_a6b0f2b.jpg http://img03.picoodle.com/img/img03/9/10/11/f_Picture004m_4be1385.jpg
