General Cultivation Q&A

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!

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.

Then, where th…

G'day all, I've just put my single plant in soil under 12/12 in the last couple of days. I've also purchased some CANNA Substra Flores A + B hydro nutes to use during the flowering period. However, since I am growing in soil and these are hydro nutes, the instructions are all about hydro and use terms I don't understand. I was hoping somebody could please tell me the amount in mL of each A + B I should be adding to each L of water ?? The plant is about a metre tall, perhaps a bit more. I used CANNA Substra Vega A + B during the vegetative period and simply added 5mL of each per L of water I used. Would this be suitable for the flowering nutes as well? And should I …

Seeing as there is always much discussion on nutrient mixes/problems etc, thought I'd post a link to the Flairform web site with a bit of info on it's one part nutrient, Green Dream. It has some interesting info on why calcium and magnesium are often needed with some brands of nutrient, and a few other things like why people can run into probs with 2 part mixes plus lots of interesting hints you can link to to help explain all types of hydroponic issues Green Dream http://www.flairform.com/Products/Greendream.htm Their hints page http://www.flairform.com/hints.htm Bit of blurb from a chemist http://www.flairform.com/Products/chemist.htm Yes it is their sales pitch…

Hi there I've got some young seedlings (at about 4 nodes) in soil. A change of plans and I want to now hand water them in coco coir with 30% perlite using Canna Coco A + B. How feasible is it to transplant from soil to coco? My plan is to hand water around 2x a day if I can get them into coco.

I have heard that a plants system shuts down at 37 C , is this true ? How hot can a plant handle the heat ?

hello all, if you're growing outdoors do you have to but the MJ plant in the ground? Can you put the plant in a big pot so you can move it around (if necessary). Im living in my parents other home and sometimes they come over to check the house out. I want something that I can move and hide (when needed to) and a big pot seems to me like a good idea. I don't know though. does sudden movements have negatives effects to the MJ plant? Anyone know???
