Would it be possible to do a hydro grow from start to finish in 2 months?

Where in the hell does everyone get this 'salt-free' soda water? I've looked everywhere for it and I can't find it (no Bi-Lo around my parts...) What should I be looking for in the ingredients? There are no brands that display SALT FREE on the label. Jimbo

Hi guys, This is grow number one, not entirely sure what I am doing but thats half the fun right 2 plants (clones - 1 x white widow, 1 x chronic) both started off 4cm tall, grown in coco in a cupboard, hand watered using nutes every second day, water every other. Now due to budget constraints, the poor little guys were grown 18/6 under your generic type outdoor flood light. One plant took off and the other did absolutely nothing - didn't look sick but just didn't grow? 2 weeks later, and the crazy plant has kept growing, but looks stretchy and too tall for the foliage it has, but the runt of the litter has come to life with good concentrated growth.

Hi guys there has been a few Qs latley on how to clone, i was doing some cuts to replace mums that are a little old. So another clone guide. 1. get every thing you need ready, Rockwool + holders or a bed of perlite in base of crib. Humidi crib Scalple 1 blade every 5 cuts, tweesers or gloves, clone gel or powder some sort of plant/mum to cut i soak rock wool in Ph 6.0, 4ml per liter rizotonic mix for atleast 4 hours. At same time i sanatise sissors,scalpel and poker i use to make hole in RW in a peroxide water mix. 2. Select mums for cutting it helps if mums are really healthy well fed in week prior and are atleast 2 months old, the mums i will be using …

Hey their how would you go about reviving a 20cm tall plant thats budding so you can get some clones of it? (its pritty shitty plant-never had any fert in its life ) should it be put in a grow room on 18hr light so it goes back into vegie state and grows alot taller?? can that even be done? cheers

hey all, ive got a quick question, my plant has been flowering for a few weeks now and all the hairs have turned browny, red. i was just about ready to harvest and one morning i found that all the budds on the plant had developed alot of white pistils. i also found that the plant smelt much stronger then usual and much more white crystals have formed on the budd and surrounding leaves. i dont know if i should harvest now, or wait until a few of the new white pistils have changed colour? any advice would be much appreciated.

Hey all, Just a quick qustion. Just say a plant was topped and had 10 nice branches on it, (~ a foot long), would snipping off all the little growth from the bottom 1/3 of the plant nodes to just bare branches help focus its energy into chunkier colas at the top? Im thinking if its done just before flowering there wont be any pissy little buds to deal with.? Would this work and what about its effect on yield? Any ideas? Thanks for any help. Peace
