General Cultivation Q&A

My outdoor grow has just starting to flower. Ive stripped off some of the lower 'baby leaves'.... but im wondering should I do more? Here are some pics. You can maybe see the branches are bare where it splits from the main. Thats where I have stripped. Also a shot from above. And one showing a branch with some paper behind it to help show the leaf/structure Thanks guys

Hi all! i posted up back in April Sloppy, Lazy, Basic first time grow where i had for the first time actually started a planted. its been 6 months and i actually went back in that thread for an update every now and then. i've reached a point where my plant has definitely flowered but i'm not sure if i should harvest yet or not. so from the reading i've done i still can't decide if its ready or not. i haven't noticed much change for a couple of weeks. the main thing i've read is that when the pistils turn red/brown they're ready but i cannot identify the pistils and i'm worrying that i'm overshooting harvest time. are the pistils the little orange hairs we can see…

Hey guys, Been reading various grow diaries and questions , searching for hours and now im concerned about my planned grow. Today I ordered some CBD crack by fast buds. Its a feminised auto. Ive ordered 3 (wish i went for 5 now), all of which i will try and germinate. Hopefully, by the time they arrive and I am ready to germinate and plant it will be 4-6weeks. Im in S.E Queensland and it will be an outdoor grow. So far I'm thinking: 10-15L pot (any preference or recommendations?) Canna terra pro. (50l bag) Canna Bio Veg and flores (250ml of each) I will also get a cheap PH level monitor for the soil. Sunlight. Today i had 5-7hours direct (hopefully this w…

Hello fellow Oz Stoners.... I grow in coco..... I use Grorite and Budrite. During flower the additives used are Monsta Bud and Add Bud, my own bloom booster. In the past I have used Natures Own Bloom Guano throughout the whole grow. Q. Would it really matter if I dropped the guano? What benefit does guano provide? So many opinions. I'm confused. Thanks fellow Oz Stoners. Your input to this forum is so vey valuable.

Hey guys and girls just wondering if anyone is using budlink and have noticed much change when using it just started using it on my girls outside in coco .

First grown and first post was just wondering if someone could take a look at this little guy and tell me what this is? Over feeding? Over watering? Thanks in advance

I'm nearing the end of my first grow and need a little guidance on flushing and harvest timing. My grow is a single Northern Lights in a DWC tent. I'm about 6wks after the 12/12 flip with the buds starting to bulk up a bit, but they look to have some more bulking up to do All trichomes are clear still, which I confirmed with a hand microscope (60-100x). I know I should flush with plain pH'd water for 7-14 days prior to harvest. The hard part for me is that I haven't grown anything before , let alone this particular strain. A survey of the internet suggests a harvest time around when I have 10-30% amber trichs. I'm cool with that, but how do I judge when 1-2wks befo…

Im planning to run extension leads down to the back shed run a tent grow. I need to join a few togetjer to reach it, roughly 60metres. Do you think it will affect the equipment. I will be running 600watt hps 6 inch fan (200w)possibly more lights for a veg tent. Im going to tape and silicone joins for weatherproofing. For stealth it will be buried shallow. Mostly worried about the length, whats your thoughts/experience? Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi all, new here. Had a couple of grows the last few years and am still in need of a bit of advice. First of all ive been using pots, about 70l i think, so as to avoid termites. Ive noticed that a lot of outdoor grows people dig holes in the ground then put pots in? Is there any advantage to this. Also, id quite like to go organic providing I get as good a yield, obviously there are many other benefits going organic. Also, what time would be suggested to put seeds in. I usually plant hybrids jan/feb so they arent in late flower during the wet which is generally over by may. If i went full sativa (thinking gold rush by sss) would i be able to plant a bit earlier? T…

Sup fellas, new member, first ever post..im a bit technologically retarded too so dunno if this has been posted before. Bare with me. But anyway im a big fan of the natural healing benefits of aloevera it's full of nutrients, vitamins, good sugars etc etc.. So a couple months back I thought i'd break a aloe leaf and stick a dope plant cutting in the goo and see what happens.. I got roots thru not much quicker than using powder or rooting hormone gel, but like no leaves on the cutting/s died in the process and i have had 100% success rate with all my other cuttings since using just aloe.. Nice thick roots on all of em.. Doesnt seem to matter where i take the cuttings…

First of does anyone know if hm ec3 pen can be changed from us reading to ppm? What a prick of a unit. Sure it used to say ppm. Long story short my water tank run dry yesterday and looking for tne best alt water till we get some rain. In any case my (funny looking u) us is reading 302 from my dam, 189 us from the tap, if I leave the tap water sitting a few days is that going to be the better Water? I've already asked a couple questions in another person's thread and got some great answers, just thought it was a bit rude continuing the conversation. Started with 6 down to my last one now and she's a midget so really want to baby her from now on. With this heat I've s…
