General Cultivation Q&A

hey fellow stoners couple of weeks ago i received a sticky icky oz of some chronic purple buds and to my delight there where some nice big phat black seeds in amongst the herb so after smokin down the oz i thought i should see if any of these seeds will germ so i soaked a few (3) in a glass of water till they cracked open and i stuck em into a pot of some secret potting mix (baileys soil improver) and they busted the soil and are bathing under 80 watts of flouros, at first they were lookin like any seedling (by the way heavily indicia dominant) then i had to go away for a couple of days and when i returned i was expecting to see some shriveled up little plants but to my s…

Hi everyone I want to grow 4 plants in around a 60L or 80L tub (what do you guys recommend?) and am wondering what should I do. Should I buy this 1200L 4 outlet air pump and 2 x 45cm air curtains http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...:MEWA:IT&ih=012 or should I buy this 2300L p/h powerhead, they are both the same price http://cgi.ebay.com.au/Aquarium-Powerhead-...oQQcmdZViewItem Which would you guys use for my setup? What is the disadvantage of using a powerhead or disadvantage of air pump and air curtains? I hope someone can help me thanks everyone

hey guys/gals. awesome site! just a quick question....can i take clone cuttings off a plant thats gone into flowering? i've read how the cells of the plant change during the flowering cycle and just wondering if taking clones, meaning that the cuttings would be in the flowering cycle and having to revert back to veg cycle, would that cause the cloned plant to be mutant and not usable. cheers. p.s. anyone know what happened to planet skunk's web site??

Yesterday my homie gave me two plants and tey are early pearlx white widow Im so happy and I will keep you guys upto date. Lets pray for females.

Hello everyone I have purchased a small bottle of ph down from a pet store for $5, it's the powder type that you mix in with your water. I have recently seen a bottle of 'hydra masta' (same brand that makes microbial) ph down in liquid form. My question is: *Should I buy the liquid form ph down instead of using the powder one that I have waiting? Is there any differences between the two? Any information is welcome Thank you -Treestump-

hi all, ive started using canna coco in a run to waste set up and im making up nutes in a 25litre res at 1.8 EC and using an air pump for mixing and aeration. the EC level drops over the week that im using the solution so that its measuring only 1.2 EC at the end. PH is fairly constant 6.2-6.3 should i be adjusting EC? have just begun this coco set up and still learning the deal so would appreciate any other advice about nutrients/ additives, thanks

Gday all i am having problems getting clones to root properley I am using rockwool and have had no problem in the past What is happening is clones look good up until about 14 days but then stagnate When i check for roots they all have big nodules on stem 2 to 3mm. They stay this way for about 5 weeks and eventually get roots.It makes no difference with light24/7 or 18/6 cheers mungus

hi ive never flushed with plain water at the end. ive always used nutes right up until the day i pull em. ie to day 56 if your growing purely for yield, is it beneficial to flush with plain water at the end? if so for how long? 3 or 7 days. i was thinking that by not using nutes for the last week, you were potentially limiting the maximum yield as they would be missing out on that last week of growth

Hi all. I got these plants from an old lady out in the country, she asked if I could eradicate the weeds from her large flower bed this is what I found, they been growing and taking over her area for 5 years. She said they get big long seed pods on every year. I allmost fell over when I looked. I dug up 8 females for myself and pulled the rest, told her to call me if they came back next year.
