Hola! I am a complete newbie in here and even more newbie in growing. I had a couple of plants back home but i never worried about anything (cuz i didnt know anything) and i never smoked them. Ha! My question here is this... What exactly do u smoke? The female or male? or both? Ive heard that the only one that contains THC is the female plant so therefore the male is usless in this sense and should not be smoked? or I wouldnt get high? Also i was wondering, when you grow u cut only the top (when there are buds and everything is ready) and dry it, etc... the rest of the plant stay intact and, does it grow buds back again? or does it have to be killed and then grow a…

I took clones last Sunday, so they have been in their cubes for 10 days now. No signs of roots yet. I'm getting worried. I left them a little wet for the first 5 or 6 days. I'm worried they have stem rot. I took the humidity dome off 2 days ago and the plants are surviving without it so I'm guessing its got some roots? The plants are firmly set into the blocks. My question is can I use a solution of h2o2 to kill the rot? Will that fix my problems or am I going to have to cut and cube again. I normally wouldn't care but seeing as my mates dog ate both my mother plants I'm kinda in a bad situation...

Hey all I was thinking yesterday could it be possible to veg an indica such as big bud or other strain, Single cola, no supercropping etc to a height of 10 feet. Probably need 4x1000 watters. Pot size 400 or so liters using coco. Then wheel it out the shed into flowering mode, outdoors. Would the plant loose its vigor being vegged all that time? Is it theoretticaly possible? Not very practical but Would make a good photo if it worked

I am wondering what tea mixture(s) are the best for both vegetation and fruiting. I have 7 sprouts in a 5x10 area in the woods. We dug a bed out and replaced the existing soil with BX pro-mix (which I heard has little or no nutes but good consistency). I was thinking Earth Worm castings, a touch of lime, and bat guano??

For my outdoor project i have got Yates Pro Potting mix with 12 month slow release fert, dynamic lifter & water crystals. Now ferts should i get for the veg stage? theres Thrive all Purpose Concentrate NPK 12.5/3/6.2 Thrive All Purpose Soluble NPK 27/5.5/9 or Dynamic Lifter Concentrate Plant Food NPK 10/4/6 I hope with the water crystal & mulch i will only have to carry water once a week. Im not pro yates or anything its just i went to Bunnings so yates is the big thing there. Do you think the fast growth of Sativa will use all the fert that comes with the soil or is it overkill?

Hi folks, a friends been wondering somthing for a while.. he grows his plants in 30 liter pots (soil) ,which he seems to think is on the bigger size for pot growing. Anyway,his plants usually grow to about an arms lenth in hight, maybe a little bigger. Now the thing i dont get, is i see heaps of pictures of plants over a meter tall in tiny pots compaired to a 30 liter,so basically my question is, is he not vegging them long enough out of fear of the plants getting rooted b4 the end of flower or can he keep em going for at least 1+ meter (say half a meter b4 flower)? (all calculations from the start of the dirt n not the bottom of the pot). On his last grow he got rou…

not sure where i read it or even if i imagend it but i think i read that a plant shows its sex breifly at the 3rd node? Im sprouting sum up soon & just dont want to dig holes for things im just gonna rip up early. I plan on keeping 1 male of each strain well away from the fems so it would be good to know whats what but being outside i dont have the luxury of playing with the sun. If there is no way of telling the sex so early then at what stage in flowering does the male start to release pollen? If i can catch the male before it releases pollen then i can harvest it & controll what i want seeded.
