General Cultivation Q&A

Is tucking a thing? Topped on Monday and then tucked the new growth under the fan leaves to give new growth light and hopefully encourage growth in the new nodes coming out. Total area still collecting same light. LSD and Liberty Haze from Seedsman. Also have Kush and Cookies for CBD and Jack Herer as freebie. Cheers Modaf

Hey crew I’ve got a small 90x90x1.5H tent that I sprung some seeds in then was given some clones just as they were sprouting .... so I’ve used my flower space for the next 2 months ! I’m in Perth .... currently under 18/6 with 315cmh and growing nicely Had issues with the Durban strain from nirvana all 3 shrunk and started dying so have given them a flush and bigger pots hope they bounce back ... buuut Should I switch to my t5 fluoro 55watt globe to slow down the growth ? Should I put them outside ? Do I buy another tent Thanks crew ! Got a power Africa, gelat og, c99xbig bud, cbd critical mass and the Durban’s

Hi guys. I want to run a total of 4800 watts. Its not a huge amount but however i am a little concerned as I read an article by country energy south australia that they have the tech to get knowledge of who is grkowing. I have a smart meter. Just curious is it too much power and it will be flagged. And secondly can they tell you are doing 18/6hrs or 12/12hrs? Bloody smart metres. I have cancer and need my medication. The shop down here in s.a reckons its fine. Just pay the bill and youll have no issues. But im curious to know if THEY know you are growing. Cheers coolio.

with many nth american notillers using biodynamic compost ... thought it might be interesting to check out a few vids. really enjoyed this one ... gives a good overview of biodynamic principles although ... would suggest starting at about the 7 minute 30 sec mark ... unless you have missed kennie G or bad jazz and accents. don't think Bill is really onboard with biodynamics ) also, think you would need a very supple wrist if going down the biodynamic way.

Anyone care to agree or enlighten me? Was gonna CS this but if Hermle pollen be no good.... Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

G'day all There was some good discussion on when growers start counting their flowering period on Newbudgrower's thread 'When dyu count your day 1 from. From the information given, I reckon from now on for my own grow records (and any future grow diaries i do), I'm going to include both the light flip date (for me, I start on 13-11) and also the initial bud formation date. As such ... I was hoping for opinions on three photos to let me know, when you reckon initial bud growth has occurred - that way, hopefully there will be a rough agreement and it might help new growers with seed company flowering guesstimates. alrighty then ... so the first picture is at Day 6 sinc…

I'm moving on to my second grow. Previous was DWC and now I'll try supersoil with a SCROG. Got everything on the way to start except the pots. I think the Geo fabric smart pots sound good and 3x 26L should fit my 4*2' tent nicely. I'll sprout in peat cubes and plant in 4L smart pots. Should I use an intermediate pot between 4L and 26L? Maybe 11L?

Hey. When a plant starts to flower, is it a bad idea to foliage feed and get Fertlizer on developing flowers? Thanks [emoji111] Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi guys. Im 67 yrs old and have noticed the last 10 or so yesrs the whole culture has exploded. All these crazy names. Strains covered in trichs and weird and with wacky colours. I must say I have seen some awesome lookin buds in california as I reside there for treatment of my cancer. Infact ive decided to go back in a few days for 3 years. It seems its getting harder to find the original OG strain we knew in old catalogues through the 80s and 90s. Old northern lights. Old ak47 etc. It seems however the true breeders of it have changed it aswell they have been reworked and they are just not as good. . They are not what it used to be. Alot of new hype strains in cal…

Ok so I've got it all coming together, have my fans, HID, watering ok, basic soil nutes ok. And my Northern lights photo going good. My tent is good cos lights provide good heat and the air intake right under my ac outlet, so good in summer too. Generally happy. My question, I have my photo on dark 8pm to 2am, reason for slot was so could attend after work etc before dark period. However as the cold approaches, I feel I'd be better with the light on during night. So I'm looking at moving my dark period. Can I just move it to a better time but still 18/6, or do I need to do it in graduations, as in move it an hour a day... Or would that stress more, so do in one hit? O…
