General Cultivation Q&A

hello Everyone, and anyone. I am going to try growing for the first time, and want to get some input form those that know. I want to grow somthing like 4 plants indoors. I am going to make a box out of cardboard (try to make no light come out as much as possible), line it with foil. I have a 500w halogen floodlight, but it gets very hot. What I would like to know is how tall should I make the box, and what's the min distance should I keep the top of the plants from the light. And, is 4 plants enough, too much for this light. How many fans do I need. Also, can I just use regular fans that I can get at any store? and should I just blow the fan at the light to cool…

Hey If your looking for free "humidi -cribs" give these a shot. Courtsey of Macca's - frozen Coke container from the kid's meal. Couple of holes in the bottom for drainage, premium seed raising mixure and their off! The seeds were germed in damp paper towel, they sit on the window sill during the day and under a flouro at night. These Shiva Shanti 2 are less than a week old.

My clones are finally under 600w… (their is an end in sight to my semi-perpetual dryness) I’m using rock wool/coco (lack of $) should they be watered directly onto the rockwool or around it or? Seems if I were to water directly on the rockwool the roots would become water logged.

Hey all, Well as its my first grow im not sure what to expect during the final stages of bloom. My buds are starting to grow quite fast now there really starting to stetch out, but ive noticed these little pods on the bud there quite visable and have a few red and white hairs coming out of the middle. I have other clones in the room and they r still female and my girl has stayed a girl for this long , i know how to tell a male from a fem when in Veg, but not sure about this. I popped one open to see if there was a seed in it, but was full of fluid!!! Thats the only thing different through the whole process!!! there is heaps of Bud and i have been so carefull with l…

Hello, I have a mj plant it is about 2 feet tall 1 month and a half old. it is out side so i wont be able to tell if its a female until the approaching fall but the plant stinks like the skunky erb does this mean it is most likely female. or do males also stink like erb when not in flower. Pretty much if i rub the stem alittle and sniff my finger it wreeks like the chronic. does this mean it is female?

Hey guys, I'm after something small and cheap that will simply run off a timer and dump a small amount of water. Reason being I want to release carbon dioxide, via "co2 enricha" at lights-on every day. Obviously I would have to refill the powder every day but I can't always be there at lights on.... Know of anything? Its only like 50ml of water that needs to get dropped into a bowl.... anyone? I have the timer obviously, just need to release the water with a power-on...
