General Cultivation Q&A

hey guys found this posted in my travels and thought some of you guys would enjoy . Book Description This guide offers methods for growers who want to maximize the yield and potency of their crop. It explains the "Screen of Green" technique that gives a higher yield using fewer plants, an important development for American growers who, if caught, are penalized according to number of plants. The Cannabis Grow Bible is an authoritative source that features almost 200 color and black-and-white photographs, charts, and tables. With an emphasis on the day-to-day aspects of maintaining a garden and European expertise, this book ensures that growers will enjoy a successful h…

G'day, about to embark on my first SOG grow. Growing Chronic and AK47. Just wanted some opinions on how far to distance the plants from each other? I was thinking 8-10" myself.

as a few people know i aint cloned in a long time around 2000-2001 with success so ive just jumped into the deep end and took 19 clones 3 days ago one clone has already wilted and died the rest are perked up and looking nice but i wanted to find out if anyone else is using this APS clone food from DM ive read it keeps the clones growing as if they have roots is this bull shit or fact? 5L bottles are very cheap so if it does work and others reccomend it i might give it ago so let me know who out there is using it or a simular product

hey all, at the shop the other day the kind proprieter threw in some ZYME it says contains 32 different forms of enzym. directions:1/2 gram to 50 ltr of nutes.. i didnt catch the spiel from him but i do remember him saying its best used only for flushing.. is or has anyone used this product and can give me the mail on it.. is it just another additive?? something to complicate things ??? or is it a sort of thing u need in system? thanks guys i dont know where id be without youse tkae care and peace out s

hey peeps, i notice when i add the rhizo to the nute mix the PH blows out (similar to silicamajic) i add my silica 1st before my nutes and any other additives then bring the PH back down to the 6s to add nutes ???? should i be adding the rhizotonic at this stage b4 the nutes and bring the ph back??? then add my nutes, fulvic acid, vit b,and hygrozyme??? am using rhizotonic at 4ml per litre thanks peeps take care s

I recently got into a convo with someone regarding dried bud weight versus initial wet weight. My assumption was that you lose 50-60 percent of the weight of the bud going from wet to dry using superbud and probably 60-70 percent without an additive like SB. So I set up a little experiment and got some results which amazed me...and I was waaaaaaaaaay off base.... I weighed up my fully manicured buds wet and then fully dry and my loss in weight was 78%...and these buds were rock solid heavy little suckers not fluffy at all.... I hear people all the time saying (inlcuding myself previously) that you will lose 50-60 percent of your crop...but I have to say this is b…

Went shopping today and got talking to the Hydro guy. I asked him about Bonza Bud which is a hormone to make plants stockier. I think you only use that during the flowering period. I didn't want to buy it becuase I didn't want him to know my plants are close to flowering. I told him I'm growing Chillis and I don't think Chillis would be at a flower stage so soon. So instead I walked out the door with some Nitrozym. He gave me free of charge a 250ml bottle. I don't have the original bottle to read. He told me to use this during veg. Can I use it during flowering?.

I got a problem with a small room that is driving me nuts , good plants show real pale yellow new growth within a couple of days of going in , trust me when I say its not the nutrient or PH and the water supply is the same as another room that is powering without a problem . The only thing I can think of is the plastic nutrient tank which is one of those 200 ltr black bunnings tanks , Im going to empty it tomorrow and throw a liner in it , which will fix it if thats the problem . Have any of you guys ever had problems because of Plastic Phytotoxicty caused by a plastic tank ? Rod
