General Cultivation Q&A

Hello I have never done clones successfully (did one it died) before so new to this part of growing, I have cut a nice peice from the female plant. dipped it in clonex stuck it in a small container of soil and perlite watered it, gave it a bit of Thrive fert and put it under light and the whole thing has turned yellow the tips of the leaves are dying.. It was nice and green when I picked it 2 days ago.. What could I be doing wrong.. Pic atttached Thanx N

I have some revegging going on.New clones being cut almost daily,and some fermized seeds for outdoor.I cut the roots back as they didnt look good,new roots look great

Hey all, Asof next grow me and H11 will be changing our strain in our hydro setup. We want something that will have a complete life-cycle (from clone size to bud) within 3 month period. It dosn't have to be a killer yeild, just something that is going to be consistent and reliable harvest I've heard that the strain Big bud and Northern Lights is a good short term plant with high yeilds and good smoke, but i'd rather ask you guys in the forums from ya'all experience. Our setup is pretty basic... Its a 2 plant Drip system in Clay pebbles in a small garden shed size room. There is plenty of room to tie the plants down and grow them horizontal to get more yeild. We …

Well, i was recently reading a book on Organic Gardening/Living (Michael J. Roads - Great Read! out goes the Chemical ferts) and read a short passage on Mycorrhizal Fungi. In a nutshell, this is basically a fungi that grows in soil (all over the world) and leaches it's growth onto a plants root mass and forms a symbiotic relationship with it, it gathers nutrients from the soil and forces it through the tiny roots of a plant, while getting sugar (i think it's sugar anyways) in return. Here's a short description i found: So as any stoned stoner would do ( :: ) I started dreaming about trying it with MJ. Of course i didn't really think it would work, untill just before …

Hey guys, ive been growing outdoors because i find it exspensive to buy grow lamps and all. But just yesterday i was at home Depot and i found sum flurecent grow bulbs for really cheap. It was a fluro that was used for indoor growing and lasted up to 20K hours. It didnt say how much watts though. 1 Fluro was only 10 US dollars, and the fixture to plug in 2 fluros in was only 20 US dollars. They fluro boxes said that they radiated all of the same stuff that the sun did for indoor growing. Just wondering if this could work or not. I hope so! THX

Hi peoplel! Ok im a first time grower, im planning on growing one plant at a time in soil, purely for personal use. But I have a few questions that im not quite clear about? Q1: After germinating my seed and it’s in the pot, do I go straight to 20hrs on / 4hrs off until I want it to flower? Q2: This is my main problem, when will I be able to tell weather it is male or female because obviously I don’t want to wait all that time for one plant to flower then I find out it’s a male and useless to me? Is there any way to get around this? Q3: What is topping the plant? And do I have to do it? Q4: How much is one plant going to smell? Enough to smell it straight away if you…
