Hey all out there Just found this great site, usaly on cannabis.com Im a first time grower, but have done that much reading on hydro and growing dope, i pretty much know the ropes. But theres so many different opinions, like some want the nutes at 16-1800 while others say 1200!! Im growing WW x Skunk, Has anyone else grown this strain before? Does anyone know what the perfect nute solution is? I use A & B organics. and i got truncheon Also with the flush of water a week before rip, should it be that long? Again ive been told do only 2 days flush,to save nutes in the plant! what do you guys and girls think!!!! Ive added a pic. Just finished its 3rdwk of bloom, …

I have my own opinions on this subject, gained through experience, but I'd like to hear from others who have similarly gained knowledge on the subject of; how long does Cannabis pollen remain viable after release from a mature male flower?

Hi, Just a quick run down of what i'm using. -400W light -50Lt tub with 4 plants growing -nutes are Flairform Grow and Flairform Bloom. (info can be found here..... http://www.flairform.com.au/Products/flairform.htm -plants were clones from SPC, Afghani # 1 and are 11 days old. I hand watered the clones with adjusted PH level (around 6.5) until the roots hit the tub. The water heater is on 24/7 and it is on 21 degrees. The roots hit the tub, then i added water and the nutes. The ph level was between 5.0 and 6.0 after adding Ph down and the nutes to get it right, only went for 5.0-6.0 cause it's the directions on the Flairform Grow bottle i'm using. Now i ha…

I recently made my first batch of honety with co2 last week, i have masterd the butane method repetively, and i must say the butane extraction works fine aslong as u use a good clean butane.. i will not tell u how , cuase u need to but some of your own thought in to this project.. but if u release enough co2 into a sealed canister you it will leak a liquid after preassure build up.. the oil comes out much much more yellower clear,, and much smoother.. i found that now that if i want to make honey with time and patience use co2, but if ur in a rush and jus want honey butane is the easiest way.. If u have any more questions post them and ill get back for sure.. other then t…

Well, I think I've discovered why it's taking my indoor plant so long to show buds.... Checked her this morning at 7:10am - should've been 20min before lights came on, and huh... lights were running already?! I checked my timer and discovered that I'd stuffed up my timings on Sunday->Monday. Lights were switching off at 7:30pm Sunday, then back on at 12:00am Monday, they would stay on right through till 7:30pm Monday night So, I don't believe I've done much damage, but I wanted to confirm, seeing as she'd be getting 19 or so hours of light for one day a week, with the rest at 12/12 - does this explain why she seems to be going through the flower phase very s…

Ok so about to start my first hydro grow with clayballs and was wondering what nutes everyone uses? Also, where do you get them from? Which hydroshop or website? Thanks to everyone for replying, I cant wait to get up and growing.

just been thinking about the final flush b4 harvest, why do we use ph adjusted water when flushing? I thought the idea of PH control was to alow the plant to uptake nutes when the PH is in the corect range. So when flushing why adjust the PH when we dont want the plant to take up any more nutes, I would think the plant would take up the water within not to extreme PH range without adjustment. any thoughts or experience?

Hey guys, I've now got a digital ph meter and it turns out i've been giving my plants pH 6.0 water... Obviously I want to change this to 6.3-6.5 as soon as possible (soil mix, hand watered). I read on overgrow that if you change the ph too quickly it can shock the plants... is 6.0 to 6.4 in one go too large a jump? If so, how would you recommend I go about it? is 6.4 the ideal ph for incoming water? I'm going to do a full flush tonight, and I'd like it to be precise Thanks!
