Hi everyone I was reading some old posts and saw that Sukonmi Skunk recommended taking the crowns from the plants and let under growth come through for the next 1-3 weeks. What I was wondering is should I take the crowns at 8 weeks and let the rest go longer or take them at say 6 weeks and let the rest go to 8 or 9 weeks Any thought appreciated auusie1

One for the new growers. When mixing your nutes make sure you mix your a + b separately and well. Add part A and mix then add part B and mix well. Once you have got to that stage make sure the maximum nute strength is no more than 1300pp as thats all a plant can take up. Any more and its just a waste of nutes. I see so many ppl with nute burn probs , and its not that hard to get right. So keep the nutes in check and half your problems are solved.

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…

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…

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…

I had the chance to test my grow-safe cf meter the other day against both another grow-safe cf and a standard truncheon only to find they all read differently My Grow-safe meter read 30 in test solution My mates Grow-safe meter read 32 in same And the truncheon read 25 Now ok the contacts had been cleaned with a new tooth brush and scrubbed pritty well! That sounds a bit full on and wondered why the hell i didn't ask in here first before bothering to ask at the shop What do yous use to clean these styled CF meters??? Has anyone ever callibrated these meters and if so which pot inside is the calibration one?
