General Cultivation Q&A

ive been on the lookout through bunnings and other hardware stores looking for a suitable bloom nutrient, i had my eye out for manutec bloom booster but never could find it, so i thought that perhaps my local hydro shop has some goods so i went in and explained what i was chasing and he said hes only got one bloom nutrient that is for soil so i said i will take it. its a product from "nulife technologies" they make a range of nutrients mainly for hydroponics but they do a grow and bloom for soil, i havent used it yet as i just flushed my babies so i cant coment on it yet. heres what there website description is which isnt realy much.... ---"Bushmaster Growth and Bloom…

Hello All, I just started my 1st planting & have 13 seedlings popup (they were hydro indoor seedlings i think that are 2yrs old) in an old wheelbarrow. Im planning to keep only 2 or 3 plants but when can I expect to identify between the sexes & seperate them. Or perhaps should I put a few in seperate pots in away from the others?. Im planning to feed & water the 2 or 3 I keep with a dripper from the treated septic system because the filtered water grows the best lawn I've ever seen. I dont know what the seeds were (they were given to me from a friend) but they were a mix of brown with green stripes & a few white seeds. I planted 14 seeds expecting onl…

sup stoners do u think this plants got stretch this is how far away my light is (250 watt hps) the whole plant and the top of the plant cheers stoners

hi all i have always placed my temperature probe directly beneath the globe on top of the plant tips (therefore it would be measuring the hottest part of the plant). i try and make sure the temperature at this point is less than 30 degrees. with the 1000w hps, this means i need to keep the lilghts 60cm from the tips of the plants. generally the room ambient temp would be alot lower (24 degrees) however ive read that you should measure the temperature away from the direct heat of the globe, eg against the wall or some other part of the room, at canopy level? and that provided that the ambient temperature at this point is below 27 degrees then it doesnt matter if the t…

hi guys, i've just joined this website (jumped ship from planet skunk) have a look at my plant... what do you think M/F? the white hairs should mean a beautiful girl right? she's about three months old, it's an outdoor plant but i move it into the shed everynight for 12/12... been doing that for 2 weeks now. i feed her a miracle grow formula on alternating weeks. havent had any pest problems but the spiders would take care of them anyway, is anybody's plants covered in spiders like mine? couldn't hurt yeah?

Could someone tell what PPM they use at different stages of growth etc ? Say from Seedling/cutting to flowering ?

Hi guys, my girls have been in flower for a month now. Inside, in dirt. I found this after visiting every nursery in my area- do ya think its OK Manutec Bloom Booster N:6.2 P:14.6 K:16.8 how often should I apply??

I have a few mates that only ever use bloom nutrients in there setups from start to finnish whilst clonning, growing and into bloom etc!!! I figured if most of my mates do this some others out there might as well so if you do this please state so. If you are like me and see the errors in this Please help me as i will be showing them this as an end to our many years of arguements!!

Hi all, I'm a new hydro grower and am currently tending my 2 Celtic Stone seedlings in my grow cupboard (1m x 0.5m x 2.1m). Read lots of good things about this strain, so I thought I'd give it a go! Oh yeah, thanks to everyone here whose posts I've read (and keep reading) - you've done alot to give me a solid grounding in my new venture. Anyway, my good mate has given me one of his mothers, which he grew from a clone, and recently harvested. He doesn't know the genetics, but he's been cloning it for a few years, and it's a great smoke. Being a beginner, I didn't expect to have a mother so soon! , so I'm interested in how to care for her. I'd like to flower her a se…

Hey All! I am new to these forums, have been lurking for a few days. Myself and a friend are looking to start growing as soon as school is over this year (Year 12) and we get our own place. We would only be growing one or two plants. The problem is we have no idea what to do. I have read quite a few grow diaries and such here, but all I see is 'nutes', 'ppm' and a whole bunch of other stuff I can't understand. We probably won't be able to grow outdoors, so does that leave us with indoor and hydroponic? Or are they the same thing? Another problem we are having is the strain we will use. I am thinking it would be wise to just try and learn a bit first and grow somethin…

Hey all, thinking of moving on to FytoFlake, just wondered if any one has used it yet, seen a bit written on it and people seem to think its good, thinking of using just FytoFlake or a mix of FytoFlake and coco and maybee some perlite in there as well but not sure yet. any way if any one used it or knows any thing about if you could let me know it would be most appricated.
