General Cultivation Q&A

G'day all! Last sunday I felt extremely lucky when my single plant showed it's sex to be female. But now I'm wondering if I've got a hermie (I have no idea of strain or anything, it has just been grown from a seed I found in a stick). I was hoping someone with some experience would be able to look at my pic (link below) and tell me if the circles of red are male flowers, because I'm not sure as this is my first ever grow. I intend to continue growing, since I already have several rooted clones. If it does happen to be a hermie, should I be pulling the male flowers off to hopefully grow more seedless bud?? If the pic isn't clear enough please let me know and I'll t…

G'day! I took some clones last week and now they're looking quite sad (Link to photo below). The one on the right is about a week older than the rest and the leaves are turning brown. They're in an esky with a little bit of tap water in the bottom. I spray them a couple of times a day with a weak nute spray (should I be using just plain water?). And I have been keeping a compact fluro on them, probably a bit too close. I initially had glad wrap over the top to keep the humidity in but I removed it after a few days. But I have just put some more back on today to up the humidity. Does any one have any tips to help them perk up? They were looking very healthy for a whi…

I done some travels X amount of Years ago (not too long ago) and enterd into the Northern Sub-sections of Loa and met some French Older Farmers.. They were growing Pure Land Races (Cambodian/Many Thais/ Vietnamese/ Loa and some other Dutch East Indies and Philpino Strains.. and they had some of those mixed with Nepali/North Indian/South Indian and Some Burmese (with there mixes).. and managed to get some indicia mixs with the North Indians/Afghan) Now that was just a minor point this was remote some where in the many hidden un developed valleys that one could never remmber where.. just all looks the same Fertile Valleys with Rich Soil and heavy Rain.. I watched them …

To all of you who dont no.. L.E.D Stands for Light Emitting Diode and most commonly associated with those little red bulbs that tell you Battery Low or Power On... Over the last few years L.E.D Technology has bloomed and you see it more and more commonly on high power low voltage torches and even on Flash Lights and Even Camper Van and Energy Efficient Homes- Not to mention on EVERY MOBILE PHONE and FLASH Camera Phone.. It is the Fluro Replacement in Light Technology... Now My Questions are this.. Provided you can find L.E.D that emit light at the the Right Spectrum for Vegative Growth.. How Would they work for Clones.. does any body no much about them.. I relise they…

hey quick question...or questions..!! lets say.. i put an order in for 10 seeds (hopefully arrival7-10 days max Mid Dec- Arrival (if im lucky a local clone female ) and wanted to A) Seed em all in some soil/seed medium.. grow em out 24/0 under Fluro (both Grow/veg & Flower Combo Light till say 1 and half foot.. take a cutting from top of *suspected* females.. Hopefully 2 female so with cutting have 4 plants and set up an Outdoor. Metal Wire (lined with Fine Shade Cloth.. 20 percent (or lower) cylnder form (maybe upto 1.2 meter high out of the ground).. with stick into some soil.. water cystals seasol and other soil mix.. and chucked em outside ..…

I had a dying mother alone in an Ebb & Flow setup using 200ppm General Hydroponics nutes at 1-1-1 in RO water. The mother died, but one of its clones finally rooted two weeks later. I reassembled the Ebb & Flow table (kept the same water in the rez) and noticed that the water smelled slightly sulfuric, like rotten eggs or a nasty fart. I've never noticed this smell before so I'm pretty worried, as this is the best strain I've ever smoked and I'm down to the last cutting. After letting the pumps run for ten minutes, the smell nearly dissappeared, but since it was there and definately in the water, it couldn't have just gone away. The water had one mother pla…

I have never grown a full crop, let alone have a plant even go the full grow! I've always paid for it...and now that's gotta stop! I planted a bush crop last year behind our farm in some 10000 acres of bush, fenced it off, put root release fertiliser and water saving crystals and i couldn't ever find the fricken things again! Would they be still there i wonder? I have been reading and researching this site for months and have come up with a theory that might work. What if you took clones from a mother plant, looked after them, got them fully rooted in soil and got them strong and introduced them to sunlight gradually until they were out doors full time. Then, where th…
