General Cultivation Q&A

What sort of, or model humidifiers everyone using. I've been just keeping humidity up with a wet sponge in there, but moving to a bigger tent (1.2 X 1.2) figured I should get myself a humidifier. Was expecting to be able to set a level n have it maintain, but not much on eBay capable of that. Biggest tank was 6ltr What's your setup? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey guys! I've been away for a yonk and a half visiting Japan and so had to stop growing the goods for that period. I'm back in the game though and had a simple and possibly pointless question; When do you say, "Alright I've got too many colas/growth tips coming up, I think I'll cut some off." I count 20 decent tips on my plant with a few not quite as tall. Any advice for a budding horticulturalist?

so been stuffing around with PH loaded the cyco in and hit 5,9 is that too low ?

Hey guys, I want to start a new grow with a coco / perlite (75% / 25%) mix, and am after some advice regarding nutrients. I don't really want to fuck around with bottled nutes and have seen some cool stuff being done with dry amendments, so i'm keen to try that out. Has anyone had any experience with the premixed nutrient kits from organic gardening solutions? https://www.organicgardeningsolutions.com.au The grow will be a single plant in the same pot start to finish (probably 5L) so I'm hoping to figure out a mix to go along with the coco + perlite combo to start with, and then one/multiple mixes I can add in as I progress through veg/bloom. I know very little …

Hey crew ! I usually trim off a lot of leaves before flipping lights or within the first few weeks but what’s people opinions on defoliation during late flower ? Does it help to swell buds with more access to light or do you think it only helps the more shaded /popcorn buds .? Second question I’ve heard fan leaves act like solar panels to help grow , is that more relevant in vegging stage and should all stay on or is it okay towards the end of flower to trim them to help fatten up popcorn buds that they are shading and leave sugar leaves on ? Thanks

Hi all Its my first plant, on 4th week flowering i noticed yellowing on the tip of some of the leaves. Should i be worried? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey crew So It’s my first attempt at scrogging,! I’ve only ever done the standard way with some lollipopping but always ended with a nice cola and smaller to popcorn buds down low on the plant so thought I’d try this way after some reading and research Brief description - 600w hps, 1.5mx1.5mx2m tent , in coco , drain to waste Well.... I think I didn’t do it right , I installed the screen after 4 weeks of veg and some light lst to spread them just above it and let it grow about another week and flipped them - now I’ve been spreading them under the net and popping the pre flowers up through , seems to be doing okay but then I read I should have popped them up in veg and…

So maybe some of you have seen my dungeon space already in my grow diaries. I'm considering another 600w light to grow 4 more plants under. The area is not very easy to access so I don't want to be climbing around to get to it so often. That means maybe only weekly watering and prefer no mixing of nutes. I'm OK with bunnings soil and know that's not ideal. So far I'm thinking 20L hempys with hydroton in the res and the soil up top. I figure the soil retains the water well and contains most of what the plant needs in terms of nutes. The hempy res I might make a bit taller, up from 2 inches to 3 inches so it holds more water and wicks it up into the soil. Hopefully weekly w…

Is tucking a thing? Topped on Monday and then tucked the new growth under the fan leaves to give new growth light and hopefully encourage growth in the new nodes coming out. Total area still collecting same light. LSD and Liberty Haze from Seedsman. Also have Kush and Cookies for CBD and Jack Herer as freebie. Cheers Modaf

Hey crew I’ve got a small 90x90x1.5H tent that I sprung some seeds in then was given some clones just as they were sprouting .... so I’ve used my flower space for the next 2 months ! I’m in Perth .... currently under 18/6 with 315cmh and growing nicely Had issues with the Durban strain from nirvana all 3 shrunk and started dying so have given them a flush and bigger pots hope they bounce back ... buuut Should I switch to my t5 fluoro 55watt globe to slow down the growth ? Should I put them outside ? Do I buy another tent Thanks crew ! Got a power Africa, gelat og, c99xbig bud, cbd critical mass and the Durban’s

Hi guys. I want to run a total of 4800 watts. Its not a huge amount but however i am a little concerned as I read an article by country energy south australia that they have the tech to get knowledge of who is grkowing. I have a smart meter. Just curious is it too much power and it will be flagged. And secondly can they tell you are doing 18/6hrs or 12/12hrs? Bloody smart metres. I have cancer and need my medication. The shop down here in s.a reckons its fine. Just pay the bill and youll have no issues. But im curious to know if THEY know you are growing. Cheers coolio.

with many nth american notillers using biodynamic compost ... thought it might be interesting to check out a few vids. really enjoyed this one ... gives a good overview of biodynamic principles although ... would suggest starting at about the 7 minute 30 sec mark ... unless you have missed kennie G or bad jazz and accents. don't think Bill is really onboard with biodynamics ) also, think you would need a very supple wrist if going down the biodynamic way.

Anyone care to agree or enlighten me? Was gonna CS this but if Hermle pollen be no good.... Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

G'day all There was some good discussion on when growers start counting their flowering period on Newbudgrower's thread 'When dyu count your day 1 from. From the information given, I reckon from now on for my own grow records (and any future grow diaries i do), I'm going to include both the light flip date (for me, I start on 13-11) and also the initial bud formation date. As such ... I was hoping for opinions on three photos to let me know, when you reckon initial bud growth has occurred - that way, hopefully there will be a rough agreement and it might help new growers with seed company flowering guesstimates. alrighty then ... so the first picture is at Day 6 sinc…
