General Cultivation Q&A

7 Day old clones, under 20w cfl x2 no roots to be seen yet. no idea of the strain (sry) the rockwool cubes are starting to dry out and the stems are turning purple. Is this normal or is it all down hill from here ? they are largish clones Im misting the leaves with a very weak nute solution. Cant show you pic my hubby has the camera ( grrrr ) One of them had started to sag a bit so I wet the bottom of the rockwool cube, hoping it might only be thirsty.

DWC i was going to use, but i have to be stealth. the ir pumps and all that make too much noise. ill have 3 x 120mm fans for exhaust/intake. how can i achieve this ? i will be properly fertilizing the plants, and growing them at this soil ratio coco peat 75% Medium size pearlite 15% Vermiculite 10% Wetting agent dolomite lime (to make ph 5.5-5.7) at what height should i flower the plants ? off a 400w light, how much can i expect ? how many plants will i neeed ? ta

This might sound like a really dumb question, but I was looking at my empty, fairly large fish tank, and started wondering if I could grow some plants in it. Anyone ever tried it?

Hi all, I'm in need of some help/info re the use of cocopeat in a recycling system. I'm a first time grower. I've had on-going probs with fungus gnats & deficiencies which upon further reading & advice, Have been led to believe this could be because of the coco in recycling?? Can anyonne offer me any advice on this? Should i change to a run to waste system? How do i do this if i rent my place & my rooms pretty small? How big does your res have to be then? & if i stay with recycling, what's perlite like compared to clay balls? I know there's a lot of questions here, but i'm feeling a bit overwhelmed rite now! (perhaps, i need a little toke to calm my…

Thought I'd try adding some oxyplus to my recirculating system because the roots were taking on a slight brownish tinge. While I was at it I also added some PK 13-14 to give the buds a little extra treat. Now my nutrient water has gone a little cloudy, is this normal using these products ??

Hi guys, I plan to start my first grow sometime this week, however I'd prefer to get my medium/nutrient situation sorted before I start so I can have a solid plan! My grow will be between 2 small cabinets, one for mother/parent plants and the other for flowering. (mainly) Due to the small cabinet sizes I will be using CFL's for lighting. This grow will be a stealth one, and I'd like to keep maintenance to a minimum and as such I have ruled out hydroponics(for the time being). At this stage I am leaning towards using soil/perlite as a growing medium as it seems to be more resistant to ph fluctuations and nutrient issues. However I have seen some decent grow…

Hey everyone Just wanted to know if the tech i used for outdoors would be a good 1 for indoors What i normaly do is place some seeds into a small clear glass, fill about halfway with water and leave them in a spot that gets plenty of sunlight for about 2-3 days. After that you can see about 3mm of it sprouting and is ready to be put into the planting medium. is this way ok for indoors? As ive found this way to be the most effective outdoors in not only speed of growth but also the health of the plant everytime ! thanks for your thoughts
