General Cultivation Q&A

Is it ok or can you transplant plants from small pots of coco coir to larger 30 or 50 litre pots. Or if not how can i without using soil. will need to transplant to a recirculation sattelite system.

G'day, Quick question.. when taking clones to sex, can you put the cuttings straight under 12/12 while they grow roots to sex as soon as possible? Or do they need to be under 24 hour light until they root, then 12/12 them till they show their sex? Because immediate 12/12 would have them showing sex in around 2 weeks, whereas waiting until they root and then sexing could take around a month.. but if they need 24 hour light to survive then I guess I have no choice And am I right in thinking you should wait until the plant has 5 nodes before taking cuttings? Or can you do it earlier? I want to determine sex with clones as early as possible... Cheers!

Do my fans need to be on or off while the dark period is on?I ask this as i have a growbox in my shed that is powered by a extention cord coming from the house into the shed that is connected to a powerboard on top of my growbox that has two fans and a ballast with 250watt light connected to it.I have a timer pluged into the power point in the house then the extention cord pluged into that.So obviously when the timer goes off so do the fans.I think that makes sence,sry have had a fair few bourbons.I cant have anymore than one extention cord going to the shed as this would look very suss.I have my light and fans on for 14on10off.My seeds have been in the soil for 2 days.

Do you ajust the ph of the water when u flush and what to..? 5.8, 6.0 ? Im using an aeroponic system that sprays a fine mist to the roots for 3 mins every 40 mins.. how long should i flush for..? 8, 24, 48hrs..? Do i flush during the flowering stage as well..? Are there any addatives that might help the flush process..? Thanks.

Just bought adv nutr sensi grow and superthrive, are these enough for me to use??? anything else special ill need or is this good 2 go?

These White Widow girls are about 9 weeks into flower. I had a problem with a cheap timer 2 weeks ago, it was staying on 24hrs during the flowering time for i think 4 -5 days before i picked up the problem. I think my girls started to go back to the growth stage. The heads are thick and solid and a good size, but there is no christaliation and not much of the sweet smell.. Even after handling my fingers are barely sticky or sweet smelling. About 30-40% of the pistols have turned amber color, still not a lot of smell and no christals at all. please help..

Looking at doing 1st grow and would like 2 know what would be easiest hassle free system besides hand watering, maybe satellite recirculating? Thankyou. p.s has any 1 used a grow tent and how good are they? the hydro shop has aluminium frame that you can set up with panda but im not a good handy man and would prefer the tent as they are easy to set up, although will have 2 put an inlet and out fan, or could i just put in an air cooled light?

G'day all, I recently purchased a Bluelab EC truncheon and a small test tube liquid pH kit (can't afford a digital one yet) and tested my tap water after letting it sit for a few days. The EC is 0.8 and the pH is 7.5+, which I understand to be not too good. My question is, do you think I should use it (with some pH down), or should I purchase distilled or some other bottled water each week? I am concerned about the cost of buying water, but it is only for a few pots so it may not cost that much each week.. (also I don't think a reverse osmosis system can be covered by my budget at the moment). The seedlings are currently in rockwool cubes being watered with distille…

Hey guys. Any of you guys had experience with growing plants indoors then bringing them outdoors at the start of spring time? What Strains did you use? I plan on growing some plants indoors from seed... determining their sex... making clones and building ranks.. right before the start of the outdoor season. Also.... reckon a plant under 24/0 indoor light would revert to flower when brought outside? Furthermore... I live in Australia... so if your a northern hemi.. your light hours and intensity are differeent... thus your advice does not merit. Cheers - Allotropy

So thanks to a bunch of your help, my first grow in over 5 years was a success. So i'm turning to you guys for more help .......I took clones about a month and a half ago, and my question is: Are the clones too old to use now? They are definitely root bound and look ready, but will i be better off taking new clones? Should clones be transplanted right away when root bound, or can they sit for a good while and wait for you to use them? Thanks in advance for all the help. - yota

anyone use or have experiance with dutchmaster zone????? can you use it with oxyplus? can you use it with cannazym and biobugs? i just cant seam to find any good info on it at all. thanks

I am going to be growing under 6 T5 high output lights (they use ballasts) but id like to take a clone off each plant (6 plants in total) root it and force it to flower to determine the sex of the plant it came from so i can destroy the males earlier in the grow. would 1 23W CFL do the job? (Id only flower 2-3 clones at a time) would it be enough light to get them to show sex?
