General Cultivation Q&A

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.

Hey just a noob question, ive done a search but cant find my answer so ima ask you guys. I just want to know if male plants flower or look like they start to bud or anything if they were switched to 12/12, or do they grow nothing but leaf? Ive got 2 plants (bagseed) that have been under 12/12 for 3 weeks now (seperate from eachother,so no risk of polination or anything) and even tho im sure they were both females and showing growth of bud, a mate reckons 1 is male, but i though if it WAS male it wouldnt have started flowering in the first place , am i wrong? I was seeing pistals during growth (or was i?!) so i was pretty sure they were both females, then seeing bud…

i have searched high and low for a good price on one of these meters , i am sick and tired of the bloody dropper test kit the cheapest i have found this in OZ is 135.00 i can get one from the USA , including postage for $115.00 OZ , but obviously warranty is then out of the question . has any one seen this cheaper than $135.00 , i think the rrp is $148.00 Thanks in advance Lucian

hi all, have an outdoor plant ready to harvest and as I have nothing else to continue with, want to regenerate it and then bonsai it and turn it into a mother. Know how to regen but is bonsai just clipping smaller??? Any ideas welcome. thanks
