General Cultivation Q&A

hi all how do others dispose of quantiies of leaves, stem and particularly rockwool slabs? i dont put em in the bin. not because im paranoid that someone is looking through the bin (by that stage i figure your fucked anyway) but because theres too much to dispose of could they just be taken to the local tip? or do others search for dumpsters like me! i find this to a particularly stressful activity, driving around at night with a car full of garbage bags looking for somewhere to dispose of them! im not talking couple of bags. they have piled up to about 15 atm

Gday, Ok, a pretty straightforward question, i got a small growbox, and basically wana control smell (not cover it up with another toilet spray kinda smell) ....so, do ionisers work at all?!... in say controlling 1 to 2 plants. any other ideas on ways to eliminate smells, i figure carbon scrubbers or ozone generators are pointless with such a small growbox, any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated, anyone actually use an ioniser?... im lookin at the one at dicksmiths ? Here Any good? any beter one's out there? thanks again. Later.

I put about 40 seeds in damp paper towel . I put 20 of these that looked swelled up in peat plugs about 5 days later. Soon I had several sprouts and put the tray under a 4 ft flor shop light with 2, 40 watt "OTT LITE" Plant growth bulbs . I had 2 varieties of unknown origin . They quickly grew about 3 inches and now have one set of true leaves. Today I noted one variety had produced several roots that grew out of the sides of the plug . The other type produced a single tap root out the bottom. Do some strains produce a fibrous root ball while another will grow a single tap root?

Hi Folks, Has anyone tried or heard any reports on "Gigantic Mighty Bud". It's an additive you use three weeks into flowering. My hydro shop guy recons it makes your buds like golf balls. At $200 bucks a pop it should. The bottle doesn't say whats in it (surprise surprise) My hydro shop guy gets it from Adelaide. He said it works as good as Rock or Sudden impact. I've heard of Rock and seen some photos of a grow with and without. Looked pretty good.

hi i want to start doing hydrophonics because soil growing hasn't got me anywhere. now my question is this. is hydrophonics any good and how long does it take to grow etc and what do you all need> i have a 600 w light with cannapy and foil but not sure if i need a fan ect? could you tell me also if this way is ahrd or what to expect?

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 …
