General Cultivation Q&A

Okay guys so heres the situation. I have 12 double powerpoints in my shed. Its a big workshop. I have 2 x 15amp circuits on fusebox for power. My tent is situated in the back part of my shed. Theres like 4 double powerpoints down there. So... I have a 6 outlet growlush 600w box timer with two cords comin off it. I plugged one powercord into one powersocket. And the other cord into other socket. Okay ? So.... I ran 3 x 600 ballasts from the growlush timerbox last night for the tent and that was fine. I come in this morning and unplug 1 ballast only leaving two running in the tent. Adelaide was stinkin bloody hot today. I decided to plug the third ballast ba…

I'm sure the answer is out there but doing a search for "ec" is tricky. So I bought a $50 EC pen (Hydro Axis or something) because I'm getting ready for a noob DWC grow and I thought I needed it(?). I couldn't figure out how to get to the batteries so I used a screwdriver in a hole which I later realised is the calibration dial thing. Oops. I also think I broke the dial thing. Oops x 2. Anyhow, I put the end in a small bucket of tap water and the display stayed at 00. I mixed a splash of nutes in and it read 04. Another bigger splash and it read 18, Could it be the display doesn't have a decimal point, ie 04 = 0.4 and 18 = 1.8 EC? Also, what is the EC of Melbourne tap…

Hey all ……..I have a heap of the Cyco nute range left over , after trialing it , can it be used outside in dirt , & do you have to increase or decrease mixing rates ? Always wondered whats the difference between nutes made just for coco & nutes for soil

seedlings are growing and appear tall, i searched and it appears too little light. Have them in the direct sun and occasionally go and check them so far all looks good, nice and healhty looking lil things, except 1 has the seed stuck on it. I hope more sunlight will fix the towering issues. Have them all in final pots in the centre ( approx 4inch pot of potting mix) and rest is searles high grade premium soil with perlite mixed throughout - more at base of pot Fingers crossed they dont get fertilizer burn and stop growing tall and lanky ? could i plant them deeper or best to leave and see how they go? totally new to this, but not growing seedlings, have grown th…

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.

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
