General Cultivation Q&A

Has anyone bought Colloidal Silver over the counter or online in Australia and used it successfully to make a female plant produce male flowers so I can use the pollen on another female plant to make seeds, and if so what brand and where.

Hi all be careful what you buy in Ipswich shits mouldy out there fuck I got a oz with yellow stuff on it, and what a hassle to get the bloke I got off to give me a new one. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey guys im in 5th week now of flower im going to start to introduce canna pk13/14 . Has anyone used the product and what you would reccomend for dosage.

Just wondering what everyone else does here. Im in coco and always read 5.8 is optimal. Sometimes I mix up and put too little or too much pH down so get readings of anywhere between 5.5 and 6.5. I know it's important and have seen the graphs at what pH levels certain nutes get absorbed by the plant but do people feed at varying levels between 5.5 and 6.5 or always important to aim for the 5.8 Eg.typical scenerio, MLG has a 45 litre tub which he's just filled. Puts too much pH down and its sitting at 5.5. Leave as is or pour some out and try to get to 5.8? On the opposite, sitting at 6.4, ok as is or must add more pH down?

Hi Fellow Gardeners, I'm on my second grow. Using Cana coco and DTW feeding via hydro halos from a pump sitting in a 45 litre container under a 400w HPS. I use H&G nutes A+B only. I've got a cheapie ebay PH pen (the yellow one for $12). I think I'm suffering from some type of PH issues at the moment coming into the 4th week of flower but am not sure hence my suspect is the cheap ebay PH pen. I've not calibrated it since I got it about 2 months ago. My PH according to that pen is usually anywhere between 5.3 and 6.6 so according to what I've read that is ok. Tossing up 2 options now and would like to know what members think. 1) stick with the ebay cheapie PH pen an…

Just said Id let people know that Dr. Greenthumbs are apparently having a sale. You gotta sign up to their newsletter and tomorrow before lunch codes will be sent via email to receive discount. I am no way affiliated to them. I have used some of their stuff and it's all top notch.

I've never ordered seeds before, but I'm keen to do so. Are there any security precautions I should use? Address other than the grow address, I assume. Are the domestic sites safer than overseas? What happens if the seeds are discovered in Customs? Do I get a knock at my door... Sent from my HTC 2PS6200 using Tapatalk

maybe this has been discussed before but i just found this. going to give this a crack and do a side by side, outdoor in 5 or 10ltr buckets with organic soil and hydroton. anyone else had a crack at this method for organic soil?

So I lost some males in a few strains and was planning on making some fem seeds anyway from some of my fem plants using silver. With my regular females, am I able to make say one branch throw male flowers and pollinate the other half of the plant with it? Or would I be better off crossing it with a different strain?

Does anyone know if you pollinate an Auto with feminized pollen from a Photo-period will the seeds be Autos? I am thinking that as the progeny would still have the Ruderalis strain in them they should still have the Auto qualities? Cheers Z

Hey... I have discovered something weird with the soil based medium I'm using called Terrazilla... Terrazilla is a "premium bio active growing medium, with superior blend of organic materials and bio stimulants for vigorous growth. Apparently it is also free from gnats, thistles and chemicals harmful to plants (I'm surprised the last one is a selling point, I thought that would be expected). After repotting on the first water using nutes at 500ppm I discovered the runoff was at 2000ppm.... I was somewhat concerned... I watered until I got the PPM down to something sensible (approx 500ppm) and then left it... Next watering when mix was dry enough to need it same thing! 2…

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of information on light hungry strains I have a SK400 120° and am on 12 on and off they are 5 weeks all fems now ripped males and I have 3 that are stretching like double the others no light leaks and the light is 30 inches from the plant canopy.
