General Cultivation Q&A

How long can I wait before I need to clone? My plants are probably 2-3 weeks into flowering. But some I still am unsure about the sex of some plants, especially the best one that I want to clone off.

Just wanted to know what everybody thinks is the best way to germinate your babies. The way i have been germinating my seeds is by putting them in a jar half filled with water and leaving them in a dark area in my cupboard. This is a methond i picked up on an internet site, but it doesnt have a very good succsess rate i think the ratio was 1:6 germinate. :angry: So if anyone can suggest a different and more effective way to germinate seeds please get back to me :thumbsup :yingyang

Hi. I'm just after some info on plant identification, strain id, ect. I've got a container of seeds I've collected over the years. I've been growing for about a year, but I never know exactly what I'm growing. I'm just wondering if they are a certain strain of plant,does it need more or less nutrients, ph adjustment, ect. I'd like to look at the leaf and kinda know what I'm geting at the end. Thanks... Like your site....

hi all, ive got my first dwc going, my plants seem to be going great guns, in fact, i feel like banging my head against a brick wall for every day i havent done a dwc setup. anyway, im wondering what the best water level is for the most prolific root growth? i have seen some people say above the bottom of the net pot, others say below?

Hi all, i am just getting ready for my 2nd grow, this time i want to use some nutes suitable for a 100% coco grow. I have a big 80L tub that i will store my water in, i plan to hand water just because its easy for me. If i add my nutes and adjust the ph level in this 80L tub, what is the best way to keep it fresh, the water could possibly be sitting there for a few weeks until i need to top it up again. I have a medium sized air pump with a large stone to keep the water air rated and it pumps out enough air to swirl the water around a little tiny bit. I just know that water loses its natural nutrients (or what ever ya wanna call them) when left for 24hours even. …

I have been growing from clones with this 'Mum" keeper. I am finding I have seemed to let her get to thin around the waist. Now she is right up top and will be cloned from on Thursday. So, should she keep her place. I am keeping 2 strains atm. This Is both side by side This is a close up of the replacement It is so tempting to put this plant to flower tbh. I'm trying to plan ahead & never give up this particular strain. It's just too fast , sturdy, bulky, sokes up well to boot. I know mum's well recovered from my last round of cut taking, I do want to keep some new strains in 2006. I think I can …

hi guys, my first dwc setup, seems to be going well, wondering if anyone has any feedback or suggestions about how im going about things. sorry no digicam pics as yet, im sure youve seen a tub and a plant before anyway i have 2 x 80L black tubs with removable lids and 3 x 250mm holes jigsawed in each lid. then have 2 x 30cm air stones in each each air stone receiving ~4750cc/min (9500cc/min/tub) each tub has a 1" hole at the base connected a gate valve. the gate valve with a piece of clear pipe serves to monitor the water level inside the tub without opening the lid and disturbing the plants, or to simply drain the contents of the tub. my grow space is a reasonabl…

What kind of surface should the ballast sit on? I have a bedroom setup...it shouldn't be on the carpet?

I read that you can use carbonated water to add Co2 to your plants through foliar application of the carbonated water. Has anyone tried or is using this method of CO2 application? It sounds like a excellent way for us aussie growers as its a very cheap method without any added smells like the yeast/vinegar methods or increased heat through burning propane. And if anyone is using the yeast/vinegar methods out there, is the smell really that bad? Cheers :smoke
