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!

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

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
