General Cultivation Q&A

Hey all... Roughly how long does it normally take once you've turned to 12/12 till they start to show, 16/17 Days sound 'bout right? Cheers

Hi guys i am on my first grow,sk#1 and bb,the question should i wait for flowering to determine sex or should i force flowering?also how long does it take if i let them sex and not force?also when i switch to 12/12 to show there sex should i keep them at 12 12 to bud or go back to veg stage?i am using a 400 mh..

Anyone ever actually used anything like this before? http://www.accenthydroponics.com/prod_info...0soak_info1.htm It "binds high nitrogen to Ethylene Acid (feminine) which stimulates the seeds to encourage a tendency for the plant to become female". Sounds like it has a two-prong effect ... "Stimulates the seeds to encourage a tendency for the plant to become female. This results in more flowering sites and overall greater flower development". I've also heard of people leaving their seeds in an airtight container with banana peel before germinating them to achieve the same effect. The only other thing similar that i know of is Sensa Soak which is pretty much the same…

Hey all Well my new seedlins have pop ther roots through the rockwell cubes and have now just planted them into some cocopeat. I plan to put them in the GR in about 2 weeks but till then i have them in this bodgey setup. My Question is what do i feed these babies and how often. Would i be right in saying about 4ml total (2ml of each)of A+B vege nutrients to 4lts of Distilled water as a mix for them. Cheers

I read a post some where that said that deeper pots are better then the wider ?One person said he uses 2 liter soda bottles because ther long.Do roots go down more or out more?

I am interested in hearing peoples opinions and experiences regarding starting seeds under fluros or hps bulbs. I have heard a few people say that fluros give weak stalks and that it's better to throw them straight under a HPS bulb positioned some distance away. I have only ever tried the fluros but wouldn't mind trying it a new way - just don't want to bake my White Russian! I only have a 600W HPS with a china hat - would that be too much? Jimbo

Hi everyone I’m looking for some input You see my plants are fully budding right now, and I want to save them when their done, however I,ve taken “NO” clones  Ok Im thinking maybe GIBBERELLIC ACID TREATMENT : Select my favorite female plants and spray some buds to turn them male, Has anyone head of this being done? Ok the other alternative I have is, pull them out of the green house once harvested and put them on lights 18hrs + if anyone has info on this I would greatly appreciate it
