General Cultivation Q&A

A buddy of mine says he can make a female plant from any seed. The secret? Temperature! He's told me that there are many sites on the web where you can confirm this however I've not found them. I'm not growing at the moment so I can't confirm this but here's what he says: The gender of a plant is determined by temperature of the soil when the seed germinates, the cooler the soil the better chance of a female. He puts his pot of soil and fert in the refrigerator for three days after which he places the seed in the soil and covers the pot with plastic wrap. He places the pot in a cool place where it gets some sun each day until the plant breaches the soil level. Afte…

Hi all, Just a small question here. Just wondering how to i determine if the seed can still be used and whether its a male or female? End of my party i cleaned out the stash box and found about 50+ seeds in it. So I was just wondering if still can be used or not?

First off we need the equipment: Plastic wrapped rockwool cubes that have been soaking in PH corrected water, sharp scissors, rooting hormone (I use Clonex Purple), a drink bottle cap and a good marking pen and a humidity dome. The drink bottle lid is to pour some Clonex into, that way I don't contaminate the whole bottle by dipping the cuts into that.

I would like some information about the drug speed.... If a person has been on speed for a while, then goes onto the methadone program can that person still take speed....because I had someone at my place and I could have sworn that she was speeding, as she wouldn't stop talking and always moving around (not keeping still)... I looked at her eyes but she had too much eyemakeup on to get a proper look..... My son tried to tell me she was straight and it was the Methadone.....I recon my son thinks Im stupid and that I believe everything he tells me...F...k I hate hard drugs

My very clever partner has built the below pictured 'Machine' to grow his clones . . . check it out! If anyone's interested, we're gonna take pics of production from said 'Machine' and we'll post a 'How To' as it's so dead easy . . . and seemingly (to this point) exceptionally effective!

hey, ive currently got a 3 week old outdoor plant and at the top of it there is a cluster of flowery looking things that are a dark redish purple colour. there is also traces of red along the main stem of the plant. would someone please be able to shed some light on me if this is normal or not. it also hasnt shown any signs of what sex it is but has green pistils in a v shape throughout it. any advice/ info would be much appreciated.

I've had a brainstorm . We've got an old waterbed here, so I'm thinking of taking the frame and set it up, place the liner inside it, and start tossing bags of coco cor into it. Use it as a typical veggie garen kinda idea, but with all the advantages of hydroponics!. Prob wont be able to do this right now, but I reckon I'll give it a go but. rob

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

thought id give kezz's clonin method a go, 4 x CS an 2 WH 20 mill poly styrene tub 2 x airstones air pump hhhmmm an screwdriver for pokin holes in foam NO clonex etc will do more pics soon cheers beers an cones mozz

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

hey guys just wondering if anyone has bought ne hydroponics off this guy http://stores.ebay.com.au/Aussieponics am looking at buying seom stuff off him, has cheap kit prices for hydroponics and sells mostly growlush, which from what i know of is australian made and pretty high quality for a cheap price. cheers

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
