Its week 2 of flower, should i remove lower growth? Will that make the plant give more energy to top buds? Any help on this topic is much appreciated. Thanks

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.

I have been reading here about bud rot & how in some cases people loose a lot of what they love. Now to my understanding you get but rot when there is too much moisture in the bud which for outdoors is after a rain. Well how would one go about using a automotive/solvent type pressure pump bottle (the one's you pump the plunger to make pressure so liquid sprays out & are normally red & white) to just blow air onto the bud & blow that pesky water away? Just a thought as they are compact, portable & cheap. I may even look to see what kind of compressed air bottles are around as a small 1 could do the job with a small air attachment.

Hello everyone, i'm still waiting on those seeds and I found a very large cardboard box in my attic that is perfect (.75mx.75mx2m). I will be planting 5 of my seeds so hopefully I can get 2 females out of that. The box already has metal poles that go across the box half way up and at the top, so I will be able to hold my light from them. My main concern is will it be a big fire hazard? Can i get a fireproof blanket and toss it on the box? Is there anything that I can spray the box with that will make it fireproof? The box will make my grow 10x more stealthier. Thanks everyone!
