General Cultivation Q&A

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.

here is a list of nutes im going to get any ideas good or bad are wanted. also anything you might think i should have or not... i use canna .. 1 canna veg 2 canna flower 3 rhiztonic 4 cannazm 5 pothash 6 silicamajic 7 canna pk 13-14 8 g'n't (thats what we call it) so any ideas on what i should have or not , i have always used this but the silicamajic. thats something ive been told to use from here . so teach a old dog some new tricks tt

here's a pic of some of the things I have used or are using in my GR it starts to get a bit expensive when you add it all up..but hey its still works out very cheap per ounce..

If you use an airstone with your air pump you get a lot more fizzy bubbles, but less physical water movement. On the other hand, if you take the airstone off and just leave the tube as it is (but weighed down obviously) then the result is more water movement because rather than lots of tiny fizzy bubbles youre just getting less-but-bigger bubbles Im just curious if anyone knows if there's much difference, ie. which one oxygenates the water better?

ive always started the first feed at lights on. but ive recently read material from both canna and grodan stating that first feed should not commence until at least 1hr to 2hrs after lights turn on whats the logic in this? ive been told that if plants are fed during times of rapid temperature increase it promotes elongation.

hi all i was running around like a mad chicken and when i added the silica majic to my 200lt rez i put in 80ml instead of the recommended dose of 40 ml (i.e. 4ml per 10lt as opposed to 2ml per 10lt). there 1 wk into 12/12 and i did this 2 days ago and just realised my mistake, doesnt look like there negatively affected by this double dose. but im worried. should i dump and start again? dont really want to waste the silica though so i would prefer not to! i read somewhere that excess silica doesnt do any damage? any opinions greatly appreciated
