General Cultivation Q&A

Hey gang I’m looking into switching from drain to waste with coco soil to dwc- I have a mate who’s been growing for years this way and been doing my own research lately . I’m going to DIY it , and have 3 plants going but I’ve heard mixed reviews - some people will have a long reservoir with 2 ,3 plants but I was thinking of interlinking 3 seperate pots with a seperate reservoir to make water changes easier etc . Question is would a 20L bucket with a lid be adequate for the roots or would you recommend larger buckets or square poly lid containers ? Does it work like the bigger the reservoir the bigger the plant or simply veg time to size you want . Tia Jim

This is my blue cheese at 4 weeks can I top this auto to get more out of it or just keep letting it go. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

What nutes are you using at the moment? What have you used in the past? What made you pick what your using now? Feel free to include the good the bad & the ugly. Are there any you recommend NOT getting? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hiya, Has anyone had any experiance with these 2 products ? Cant decide wich one to get to monitor my reservoir. Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Beware of exhale and similar co2 products, they tell you to hang your bag above your plants, what they dont tell you is that after a couple of hours of 35°C or above will kill the organisms in the bag that produce the co2 rendering them useless. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi guys, This is my very first post. Today is the 25th February on the north coast NSW. If I started seeds todays would I actually get a crop albeit small perhaps? My son has cancer unfortunately and has a "compassionate use" from the Justice department so I need to ensure that his weed is as clean and organic as possible. Any advice is greatly appreciated .

Hello everybody, I will run a kickstarter campaign soon to fund the production of a remote monitoring device that takes continuous measurements of the pH, the EC, the climate (temperature, humidity) and light intensity. It's equipped with WiFi so you can see the measurements on your smartphone. You can receive notification when a threshold is exceeded and display daily, weekly and monthly graphs.It will cost less than most of combo EC+pH meter you can find on the market. I'm an electronic engineer and I grow hydro for almost 8 years now. So I had this idea and spent the last 18 month designing the device with the help of some friends. I can't share the website here becau…

G'day all. Just a quick one, I missed this years season due to work/holiday. So I've got a few under lights now (one month old today). If I keep them in veg under lights for say, another 4-6 weeks then move them outside to flower (around Late March early April) 1. Will they survive the cold toward the end of their flower? (Late May) 2. Will this be detrimental or favorable to my overall yield? And 3. I've heard shit talk of cooler weather providing those purples and reds etc etc, will this be a possibility? (The strains in question are AK-47, Blue Cheese, Grandaddy Purps and Fruity Pebbles Cheers for the feedback, I've grown outdoors every year but never this…

This is Turners Bush, seems like two are sprouting from the same seed. Also they might be a bit drowned from all the recent rain..sorta need it during the day anyway getting really hot here. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi Guys, I'm about to start my first hydro crop and I have a question about water. I've been reading that demineralised or distilled water should be used for hydro nutrients but I can't see myself forking out for 50 litres of water everytime I want to change over my reservoir. What do you experienced growers recommend? Should I just bite the bullet and go down the bought water route? I'll be growing in an ebb and flow system using clay balls as medium in the South East of Melbourne. I've got a pH and EC meter on the way for measurements. Thanks, thegolfer

After some advice on nutrients please. My new grow will be in a perlite/vermiculite mix. Roughly 75/25. I have been using Canna Vega and Flores with Rhizotonic for quite a while now. That was growing in Canna Terra. My local hydro shop closed recently and I went to another last month and they don’t stock Vega or Flores. The owner pushed the stuff pictured below down my throat... I assume he gets a good kick back on sales.. apparently made locally. It is cheap at only $30 for the litre bottle. Is the claim it is good for growing in any medium a bit of an exaggeration? I am happy to pay for good nutrients, any advice on what line I should use in the per…
