General Cultivation Q&A

Hello my friend and I have a question.. What is that black sticky stuff that gets stuck to your cone and in your pipe? My friend cleans it out after evey session. He is very neat!! Does anyone know? N

i am changing my water set up to a clay ball set up and need some help. i am gonna have a deep plastic tray on da bottom with a full lid and this will all be painted so no light can get in then the lid will have holes cut into it so that the water can go back into the tub there will be the pump and air stone in the tub as well. i dont have room for a second chamber outside unfortunatly. so what i wanna know is his gonna be alright to use and is there anything else i should do and also would this be suited better for a spray and flood or a drip system???? oh and will the air stone be enough to circulate the water so the nutes dont get wasted???? cheers all

i was goin through the old posts in this forum and there was one about a guy who wanted to grapht 2 root masses (sp?) into 1 plants blah blah blah and someone replied about how u can bury a branch and roots will grow of that (stripping off foilage of course) so that gave me the idea of perhaps growing aplant to about 2 foot and tip/fim to the max so it would have the most possible branches then stripiing of foilage except the top few inches and bury the whole plant (prefferably in the ground) leaving the top few inches of leaves and you would be eventually left with a huge root system. what do you all think of that idea, it would be very intersting to do perahps if some…

Could someone please post something somewhere, (maybe pin it) About keeping seeds? ie:Whats the best way? How long they keep, etc etc?? I just thought it could help someone (like me) to look after their bag seeds. Is it true they can last years if kept properly? Thank you!!

I saw this on another site and thought it sounded rediculous, any comments are welcome. "* First make a 2Ltr solution of water with 1 capful of bleach(5ml) (ordinary household bleach, mine is fragranced. Still works a treat though!) * Then soak seeds in solution for 4-6 hours. * Then rinse and soak in fresh water for 5 mins. * Then add to pot full of medium (i use coco but any well aerated mix works well), and cover seeds with another 1/2" of medium. * Water with light nutrient mix. * Cover with cling-film and poke a few small holes for air. - Thats it! With this method i got 90% germination and 100% females (out of 16 seeds!) This is only my first time using thi…

Hey guys, i planted 1, yeah i know i should have done more, just to c if it would grow or not. To my surprise it did and im happy about it. It was planted about 3 weeks ago. There is no exact date because my mom planted it and she forgot what day. Just sometime before valentines. Anyways here are a few pics. if you have any helpful info it would be nice. Strain is unknown. Gender is Unknown Outdoor plant Fert. i used was found in my garage which i have pics of. Oh, yeah. And i used 1 other special Fert. which my mom told me was good for it. Eggshells and banana peels blended with water. Which looks likes it works

Read alot in here and on overgrow about sprouting seeds. Most people seem to just pop them in a glass of water for 12-24 hours till they crack and show a tap root. Then they place them in a Pot soil/Vermiculite/Perlite mix. My seeds have been soaking in water now for 20 hours in a warm dark place, and nothing has happened. Should I start to worry?

G'day to all I have a question about my two plants. Both are from bag seed, so I have on idea about variety, but am curious about the big difference in their flower structure. One is in the ground under a fruit tree and get's sun all day until mid-late afternoon. This one is low and spread out and the flowers are quite clumped and thick, and you can see the glands all over it with the naked eye. And come within a few feet and the smell will knock you out. The other one is in a large pot and like a christmas tree. It's about six foot tall and has flowers all over it (a beautiful sight I must say!) but it isn't very smelly and it gets the sun all day long, . The flowe…
