General Cultivation Q&A

Well as the title and description says. Any ideas why this happens? For as long as i can remember this always happens to me. I get 5 or 6 buds grow out of the top of the main colas. Its like it goes into a sort of stretch stage. Where it then has to fill out again. Sorry about the bad quality pic doesnt show much. Here is a pick of my last grow you can see the buds growing out of the main cola head. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. as long as i let the buds "fill out" it is ussually ok i think. Any suggestions why it does this ? Cheers Buddy.g

this is my first attempt at cloning... I took the clones last Sunday so they are at day 8 they have no roots heres some stats we kept a record of over the last week 12/08/07 clones taken 13/08/07 5:30pm: temp 27C and RH 89% 7:30pm: temp 30C and RH 79%Rh 14/08/07 6:30am: temp 26C and 72%RH 6:15pm: temp 31C and 68%RH 15/08/07 6:30am: temp 29C and 80%RH 6:00pm temp 33C and 65%RH (carbon pads removed from the 2 computer fans to help reduce heat via increased air flow) 16/08/07 4:30am: temp 22C and "hi" RH..more than hygrometer can handle... 17/08/07 6:25pm: temp 31C and 61%RH 18/08/0…

Is there a femising hormone for seeds so they turn out female?

got some clones that were doing well, then they started to turn yellow, then brown shrivel up and die. Conditions are good. Why is this happening?.

Well my seeds have arrived from a land far, far away and I'm ready to start them soon. I am going to crack them in water, then place in rockwool under fluros (or should I put them straight under a 600W HPS that is way up high?). Then grown in tubs with clay balls and a recirculating system. My question is...when the seedlings have filled out the rockwool with roots, do I just place the rockwool into the clay ball medium or do I have to remove the rockwool? Jimbo

As the title suggests..im just wondering how often i should water when ive mixed 30% perlite into my potting mix...its seems to be dryer alot quicker and bcause the perlite is mixed in...does that mean i can water even when the substrate is still slightly damp? any tips? Cheers, Flon

How do you keep your airstones at the bottom of your bubblers and reservoirs, and stop them floating to the surface? Is there anything toxic in plywood (the glue maybe?) or is it okay to use, in the nutrient solution, to hold the airstones down? All replies appreciated! P.S. like my new Avatar?! Cugel.

I've just planted a clone outdoors by heeling it in...(planting it at an angle) so that the stress of bending her down horizontal to the ground will be much less. https://cannabis.community.forums.ozstoners...si&img=4470 Already hardened off for about a month, all I did was add ammendments to the soil and plant at an angle, putting a good hand and a half deep soil over the root ball and trenching the soil under her so that she isn't laying on the soil. This girl was way too healthy to fit in the flower box. More pix in a week or three. She should be ready to harvest in late Sept, to mid Oct.

Hey all, i took some clones off my plants that were 4 weeks into flower, 6 days ago. A couple got abit droopy and they sort of recovered but now i've got yellowing patches on the leaves and tips. Is this because they havent rooted yet? I used jiffy cubes with clonex and im sure the cubes are not under or over moist. They have been foliar fed every 2-3 days with a week nute solution. Temps have been a little high 25-30C and also using a heat mat. they arent looking well, help would be much appreciated.

I planted my seeds (after leaving in damp tissue over night) about a quarter of an inch under the soil and as the light(250watt hps) was only about 6 or 7 inches above the soil it dried out the top layer of soil after 18hours of lights on and when i watered them to make moist again the water pushes the dry soil off a bit each time so that eventually the seed was very close to the top.Well yesterday i raised the light about another 3 inches higher and went to put the seed a little deeper in the soil but it had sprouted and i had the light on and the root got about 4 seconds of intence light before i coverd it up again. Is this going to be ok?Or would i have shocked it?Al…

bought a prop dome and it has holes at the bottom, i dont need the rockwool swimming in water do I? Or can i just spray the top and bottom when they drying out?
