General Cultivation Q&A

OK I have a rather unusual setup for those who aren't familiar the link is below. Though I grow a kind of hydro set up I know very little about hydro. I need to know if there is a piece of information available that lists the ppm's of nutrients that plants prefer in Hydro. And is DWC or recirculating systems different in feeding requirements, if so, why? Do temperatures play a part in nutritional uptake of plants (they affect fish feeding rates) Also, what does the conventional test type equipment that growers use test for? Nitrate? Phosphate? Etc. Do testers give you seperate figures for seperate nutes? With these figures, some equipment, and similar figures …

have some nutes with little thin wriggler shaped bits throughout can it still be used??? thanks crew

dwc???? what is the best ph to run a dwc at during all cycles??? dwc is something i want to try the only thing that throws me off is, the ph levels, the monitoring and maintaining side of things.. is the ph diff durin seedling stage to vege and then again in bloom,do you have to set it at another level in each stage.. in another system i set it at 6.1 at 9am,check it at 530pm an d its no where near 6.1 but then i can check it at 9am and perfect 6.1.. i understand this has something to do wih medium, withdwc, having no contact with medium does the ph remain level??. please help me under stand this ph prob..take care peace out someone.............

This is not a support for prohibition, this is seeking strategies to help get a younger brother who is not a 'good' smoker get off the weed. Some people don't handle alcohol well, others dont handle weed well. He is a long time intermittent smoker who is having clear difficulties but will not accept it. To give you an example, he is like Barney off the simpsons. When he stays clean he gets active, participates, smiles, looks great and healthy, shares a joke, holds down a job, and is generally a great guy. When he has a smoke he flips, jeckyll and hyde, into a seedy looking waster who doesnt give a shit about anything or anyone, acts selfish, acts like an arsehole, gets…

this question is completely hypothetical: lets say i bought some pot seeds from an online seed bank (i live in america, by the way) and had them deliver the seeds to a p.o. box (post office box) and let them sit there for a while. how much time would i have? it is 9 degrees f. here so it will probably be between 70 and 80 indoors. very low humidity in my state. edit: i just read the "safe seeds" post and i have already planned for actually getting the p.o. box.

I've been told if I wanna get the biggest yield with my grow, these 2 are the way to go, can you guys gimme some info on which one to use and what they do?

I see people talking about how they paid so much for this and that and it makes me laugh. One guy I was talking to told me how he paid $400 for this clone machine and he still couldn’t get good clones. Then he spun some shit about how he spent twice that much for a DWC set-up. At first I laughed to myself but then I just felt sorry for him. More dollars than sense. A few weeks back I was reading a thread here from Tom about how to build a grow room. I have to say it was pretty ghetto, but that’s what I liked about it. So I thought I would start my own thread about ghetto set-ups. I was looking at a plant I grew and thought I better take a clone. So I chopped it and st…

Just thought I would let everyone know Im moving to cali. again. The laws here are to hot for me, Out in cali. I can get my cannabis card back. How many members here are in Cali. When I get there I can disscuss the growing out there and get feed back on the best stuff and where to get it at. And all the good hydro shops. Ill be moving by april sometime. :thumbsup

Starting my first grow soon, was going to grow 15 plant's 5 foot high under 3 x 600watt HPS's. Would I get a better yield if I grew 30 plants 3 foot high?. What I'm thinking is that there is no point growing them 5-6 foot if the light isn't going to penertrate to the lower buds. So am I better off growing twice as many half as high to expose more bud to light?.

hi people just wondering if you could give me some advice i got a bad ass berry grow happening and im 5 weeks into flower now my biggest buds are only about 1 inch in size now this is only a 7 week strain does this seem right to you the room is allways kept complete dark and nutrient and ph is allways right first grow that has not died yet

This probably seems like the sort of question OS must have covered at least a thousand times before, but I wasn't able to find a really satisfactory answer, so I apologise in advance if it seems like I haven't done my reading. How much wattage do we actually need to use to grow in an indoor area of around half a square metre? A figure I've seen quoted here is "at least 400 watts per square metre" however I'm also led to believe that more wattage equals a faster, more efficient grow. My wife seems to think that we'll need a 1000w lamp to ensure the yield is high and at this stage we really just want to have a quickly grown harvest prior to disassembling for a month or…

Hi, Are the seed prices for over the net orders heavily inflated compared with over the counter buys in amsterdam? Ta

Hi Team, I am growing M60 inside, hydro. how long should I veg these guys? How much do they stretch during flower? What other questions should I have asked? All advice is most welcome. Cheers!
