General Cultivation Q&A

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

I am planning on using 12 2 gal buckets ebb & flow w a 55 gal res. I am putting in a 30sq. ft space with a 1k light, (600hps, 400mh) How many plants would u put per bucket max to utilize precious space the best? Room only like 6.5' high. I am thinking parabolic or vertizontal shade

Hi lads, Can anyone recomend a potting mix that they have had sucess with and tell me where i can buy it. Cheers, FLON

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…

Hey all im getting starting on building my bubbler.I went to the shop and bought a air pump that does 9500c.c/min it has 2 outlets. Im going to be using 10litre bucks with a pump this size how many bucks will it safely do?? Im hoping it does 4 but from what i have read about bubblers its better to have to many bubbles then not enough. Any help would be great thanks stonerz.

There's a dump out here, near me.. they have a kinda "shop" affair. They sell stuff that people might be able to use. I sometimes go there to get pots for the garden, but gee I've seen some amazing stuff, and is a good source for making a system. Lengths of PVC pipe, timber, tubs. They even have like 10 or so 150watt HPS lights there in a box for ten dollars a pop! ballasts and light holder, bulb..all there. I once got two seperate NFT systems there. One just a meter long, 3 pipes wide. The other one was a fair bit larger. I used both almost exactly as i found them and bought them for pittance. They seem to "price" things as they go along. When I asked them about the p…

I'm sure this isn't normal. 3 of 6 of my White Russians don't have any bud development at the 8th week of flower. The first 3 pics are the back row and the last pic is the general condition of the front plants - which could be a lot better too IMHO. Why is this? I think I'll be lucky to pull 1-2oz from 6 plants... Jimbo

Hey guys, thanks for your tips re: stretchy little sucker. I tipped that one pretty hard and in the mean time the runt of the litter has taken off, and is very thick and bushy - possibly too much . Being a complete novice at this, should i thin her out a bit? They're about 4 weeks old now, but had an interupted youth with a shitty outdoor light and poor ventiliation, so i guess i should look at upping the nutrients a bit and heading towards a 12/12 cycle. By the way, they're in coco, hand watered water/nutes every other day, under 400wHPS, and now WITH good ventilation. Currently on 18/6. Sexing will be an issue soon too I guess. The steep learning curve!!…
