General Cultivation Q&A

Ok so im sifting through this absolute mountain of information avaliable, and now ive got the options of indoor, hydro and outdoor. So could anyone outline the pros/cons of each of these. If i went with outdoor, it looks as though now is the best time to get going on this. So whats everyones preferred method? Also, I've seen all these seedbanks that ship internationaly. Does anyone use them, whats it like with customs? Or do you all get your seeds locally. I really want to start this as soon as I can so any relpies are greatly appreciated! Happy New Year! refrakt.

I have 5 plants from 1' to 3' in soil, what I need to know is when do I flush out the plants. Using BC nutes grow & boost. my solution is 1200 ppm, PH 6.4 temp of room 71f, at plants 81f, I know at sometime things will build up and need flushing. some help please.

My little seedlings got sprayed with herbacide a couple of days ago, and i couldnt get the hose onto them fast enough to wash the herbacide off. they have been wuilting and the leaves have turned yellow (most of them). The seedlings are about 5 inches high. I was wondering if i keep watering them whether they will flush the poison out themselves (i have been doing this several times a day). I even thought maybe i should take a healthy leaf and try to clone it? Any help at all would be appreciated. STEALTH

Hi all, After alot of looking around at diferent systems I'm just about to start my first hydro set up. I've done a couple of indoor soil grows before and admit that hydro rules. My grow room is 1200,1200 and 2300 high. I like the flood and drain system and was thinking a 900,900 tray the only thing that bothers me is that these trays are only 100 deep, is this deep enough to get good results from say 3 or 4 plants? Also would a air stone and pump be benaficle in this system as I belive it all ready has a good oxegen rate? thanks Wal

At 5:30 am. I found out my 5 gal. bucket had a leak. So I made new batch of nutes . Room 9'x 11' 400w hort. nutes, B C., grow & boost, and Schults bloom 10-60-10. I ended up with 610 ppm. 5 hours later I see dark spots and lines like veins. Is my nutes to strong, my plant is only 4 days into veg. Thanks. :thumbsup

Hi guys,, i think its my first post.. Anyway im sort of new to growing,, doing it for the 2nd time.. I only had 2200W.. 4 lights. 4 plants, and i didnt recycle the nutes, but i got 6 pound off them with only 5wks grow and 7 bud(i did use superbud).. I tied them down when young so they had multiple heads. my room is about 12ft X 12ft X 8ft. But i used a huge extraction fan with carbon filter and ran it 24/7. Induction was just a hole in the floor boards then a pedastool fan to circulate. Air from the floor was icy cold even on 38C days. None of my experiance growing buddies could believe it as they used the same strain and nutes. They could only put it down to my ve…

My plants accidentally got sprayed with a weed killer, and i was wondering is there anyway known that i can save them? they are about 4-5 inches high. Any suggestions at all would be really really helpfull. STEALTHY

I'm getting my grow area together and slowly acquiring everything I need to actually accomplish a decent grow. The most basic of questions follows. Reccommend a seed bank. Within Australia is good. From overseas is fine if they aren't too expensive once the conversion to Australian is made. Reccommended strain. If you've got one that really sends you out there or even just tastes really nice let me know. Advice on something that is about a meter tall once finished would be great if there's a variety that small.

I been reading grow guides on sharp rubber duck. and I read about EC meter readings of 2. and 2.2 and up. what is this mine only gives PPM like 400 or up?? Then they said to keep PH. at 6.0 and up ???? I understood that it was to be 5.5-6.1 now im confussed Help me out on this one please :thumbsup

This is my first attempt at bubblers.I'll be using 4x 20lt buckets,one will be a controller with a float valve,also a 40-50lt raised res.I know when using bubblers that you only use around 1/3 strength nutes.My question is that when i'm topping up between my 1-2 week nute change do i use the same strength nutes or just plain ph adjusted water.Every time i read something about it,the answers are different.
