How often should I flush during the grow? I do it only twice coz I'm lazy, and I've taken an EC reading of the nutes when I do flush- I run to waste- and it is as high as 30, I keep flushing til its down to 10 or 12, then feed as normal. Should I be doing this more often? aussie1

hey everyone I normally cut clones from my 2 plants 2 weeks before I start flo. I don't have a mother, I just clone the 2 on veg that are next to go to flo. It normally takes 2 weeks to root under 2 x 36 fluoro's then I turn all 8 x 36 fluoro's on to veg for 5-6 weeks, Then they go under a 600 hps This has always worked well for me, good yield and the ultimate of ultimate smoke. what I would like to know, is after they root, instead of going to full 8 lights and full strength nutes, can I keep them on low light (2x 36 watt fluoro's) and half strength nutes (1.0 ec) for 4 weeks, to slow growth right down, without any detrimental effects thanks aussie1

Hi all this is a bloody good forum. My plan is to veg indoor under 2 600w mh's and throw them out doors. Should work well with the daylight hours/ strong sun in the tropics though they'l be at the mercy of the weather. This is kinda a semi guerrilla grow as they'l be chucked out in the bush. Currently i have 4 or 5 afghans nearly ready to chuck out. Four have already been chucked out, two massacered by something. The two surviving ones have exploded in size since putting them out side two weeks ago and should be nice girls. I guess I want less plants and more yield to keep it simpler/safer. Im thinking of running some kind of auto feed outdoors aswell as indoors.…

I've always loved this stuf. Along with ryzontic, I think most of growing's concerns are covered 9unless u have serious probs I suppose. Anyway, the question is, PK 13/14 stipulates due to it being pharmacuetical grade nutrient, it should be used forno longer than 7 days. I'm always tempted to run it a bit longer, you know the thinking. "if it oes this good in just a week, what would it be like for a month!!?/" I've never run it more than ten days, figuring they must have some reason for saying not to exceeed such a time, but I'm just wondering what you beaut hydro geniuses we have in here that know aboutthe active stuff in this gear, and can edumakate me as to why…

Does anyone know what the pros and cons would be if I hit with PK 13-14 twice, once at 3 week flo then do a partial harvy at 6 weeks, then hit again with PK 13-14 and do next harvy at 10 weeks. Trichs are never amber at 9 weeks so I'm assuming 10 weeks will be ok. Plants are giants and not getting enough light in underneath and I don't want to just waste it, so I will harvy at 6 weeks and then again at 10. I would like to give them a boost after first harvy and thought a dose of PK13-14 would do it. any ideas aussie

hi all many times when i transplant rooted clones into the main system at 3 wks old they seem to freeze up and take a couple weeks to really kick off. other times they kick off in 3 days. i used to think this was due to overwatering, but last crop i watered very very little (1lt per plant twice a day), and they took a couple weeks to get moving. i usually only use nutes at 700 ppm and h202. ive read that CANNA RHIZOTONIC greatly assists seedlings to kick off instantly. ive heard its best to use it for first 3 days with NO nutes. and then introduce nutes after that. and also that it works best when nutes are at a low EC can someone tell me what is the correct/be…

Hey enemys and associates.. have a question Me and an Italian mate were sitting down talking about cannabis consumption and production and he started rambling about his uncle and how he has a big orange tree stump with Grape Fruit and Lemon and Manderin cuttings all grafted onto the stump so he can have a big variety of citrus plants.. Now i was wondering is this possible with cannabis and would i be able to say have one huge tree stump and keep it for yrs on end (fertilize for fee) and say 10 bonsai mums with all sorts of strains.. and just graft on clones for flower (control the 12/12).. Is this possible and please shoot out any flaws and problems that may arise..…

Hey there, I'm having a re-think about the dutch pot system I was going to assemble, I'm thinking a set of pipes would better use the limited space I have at present. Just 1200mm or so by a 1000mm. If I make the holes close enough I could go with SOG and use every cm effectively, alternatively I could use it half pace if I wanted to and grow larger, slower. My concern is I used a pipe system once (short period of time, maybe 6 months), and had no real probs. Then out of the blue , I had a plant die. I pulled it from the garden, and a few days later, another died, (rotting inside out).. This went on over a few weeks until no plants were left at all. I'm fanatic abou…
