General Cultivation Q&A

Hello everyone I have decided I'll buy an EC metre before my first grow. I have picked out two from ebay which I'm considering, but I need your expert opinions first please Here is the first one which is $50 delivered and seems to be more accurate maybe? http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...mMakeTrack=true Here is the second one which is the classic LED one and it is abit cheaper ($5), I'm thinking it might not be as accurate maybe. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...mMakeTrack=true And I've just found a third one now which is this one and it's $60 delivered. Appears to be very similar to the $50 one. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi..…

well i have taken me clones in flower and they have been in my clone chamber for rufley a week and a half and 2 of my rhino clones have popped a few male flowers now i can only think that this is due to the mother plant being a possible hermi now i have checked my mother plant (white rhino) and cant find any flowers at all so im thinking that it has a small amount of hermi in it and during the cloning process i have stressed the clone out and that has forced it to go hermi. what do u think and also with one of the clones that has gone hermi i have pulled open the growwool to have a look at the root struckture and this is what i have found now does this look right…

im 2 weeks into flower and am seriously running out of room the the grow room, i use the 1/3 method of going into 12/12 but the plants hit nos, i'v got another 10cm before i'll have to remove light. can i stunt the growth or something?

How much should I use if any ive heard that it helps your plants? Is there any truth behind that?

I use two 1000 watt S/Masters under a tracker in flowering .My problem is this They are universal popsition globes and I have just been informed that if I run them in the Horizontal pos (which I do )They only give 600 watts per lamp I AM NOT OVERLY IMPRESSED AS THE SHOP i GOT THEM FROM HAS NOW CLOSED DOWN . The shop I now go to tells me I should really be using Horizontal lamps . Anyone have any infop on this .? Ps its good to find a friendly Aussie Site

just a quick question people when germinating seeds the seed starts to sprout, which side of the seed do i plant facing down in the soil, the part that is sprouting or the other side? thanks

im just wondering how long do plants normally take to grow around this time of year (im from melbourne) after they have been germinated and then planted in the soil for outdoor growing?

Hi all. I bought a new timer today. Put in my room and lights were spose ot go off at 8pm but when i got home at 11pm they were still on. What would that likely do to my flowering cycle? om

Gday guys (n gals!), Ok, so some background first, these forums are awesome, n i've been reading them for months, just havn't posted anything...... but been reading everything (well...almost everything!) Anyways, I got some seeds Lowryder, Early Special, and Free CELTIC STONE!!! from PS, awesome delivery time, free awesome strain, great communication, highly recomended! anyways, I got the seeds, decided to hatch 5 LR's, out of 5, 4 cracked within 36 hours, so i put them in soil (i decided to transplant em to my soil, before the taproot showed, is this ok?) My soil is ...haha, if i was a plant, i'd be in heaven... It's the lightest fluffiest mix of 1/3rd perlite, 2/3rds …

My plant has not grown an inch in the past three days. What could be the problem?

Hi everyone, I have a few questions if someone doesn't mind helping me out I am wondering is there a point in having a resorvoir in DWC if I have 3 x 20/25L bubbler buckets? It's alot of water to mix up and I don't understand how all that water is even needed because the plants won't be fully grown for a while and surely won't drink that much water? (I've never grown before tho) Please let me know about resorvoirs and if I should have one. Also should I put a small water pump in the resorvoir to circulate the water? How does the water from the resorvoir get circulated around the buckets? or isn't that the purpose? Also should I replace the water every 2 week…

I found this site that tells you how to make your own EC metre they reckon. What do you all think? http://www.saltwatch.org.au/saltwatch/book/28_page.htm

First of all, this is not for marijuana so much as just a general 'hypothetical application' of a hydroponic setup, using beans as an example plant. The idea is to have it in a confined space, with each layer [light rack, water tray, tank] on separate mountings so I can slide them out for easy access and maintenance. I understand I'm not being too detailed about any of this [tank sizes, light types, growing medium, etc] but I want to make sure my concept isn't flawed in some way. That said, here's the basic diagram for how my potential future [non-marijuana, I don't live in my own house] hydroponic setup might occur. The nutrient tank is the only tank and would be fi…
