General Cultivation Q&A

is it necessarily bad to run an air pump on low 24/7 in my reservoir??? thanks

I feed a three part solution to my e/f system, but the problem is when i go to change the water in my reservoir and change out the nutrients, the new ones i put in never fully dissolve (even after vigourisly mixing for 5 min!). So what I did was dissolve the nutrients in VERY HOT WATER, and then mixed it into the reservoir. Does the slightly lower than boiling water alter the chemical balance in the solution??? FEEDBACK APPRECIATED

i have just put newly germinted seeds into soil and i give them 24 hrs of light everyday.when they appear from the soil should i change the amt. of light to 18/6 or what and when should i start givn my plants ferts they are like 2 days old?

the wick system do i actually touch the wick to the root and how wouldi clean the water bc i read in the marijuana growing guid ethat it said you had to clean the water after a few days so how would i empty all the water out or how would i create a pump system to clean the water every few days?or do i not need a pump system?

i have tried to post some pics but it says the attatchments to large how do i make them smaller can someone tell me what to do?

i was given a bottle of this and i am a little unsure about the dilution rates........ on the bottle it says Hydroponics: dilute 2 ml in 10lt of water and use as required for the type of system you have. now i have a recycling system should i be using 12ml per 60 ltr???? any help would be great!

I was chating to my local hydro shop bloke, and he sugested using a couple of cups of sugar mixed with warm water to make a liquid to add to the plant a couple of days b4 harvest, to sweeten up the taste, anyone tried this? sounds a bit dodgy to me.

i am a first time grower and i was wondering what kind of lights i need to buy and what the whole setup of growing should be like...ive read many articles and what not on growing but i cant understand any of them...is it possible to grow about 5 plants in my bedroom? how many lights should i use for 5 plants and where could i find the stands to hold the lights? how often should i water my plant? could anyone please help me it would be greatly appreciated...oh one more thing could i use seeds that i get from the sacks that i buy from my dealer bc i have a bag of about 100 seeds thati have collected from the sacks that i smoke...they are tiger striped so they are all planta…

Need some links to info about kelp so I can study up on it I help a lot of home hydro gardners out in my spare time any help will do. every thing I try to call up is for hygean things. :bow to any help you can give. Thanks

Yea sup guys, looking to go pickup some lights from a hydroshop in a week.. been thinking off some bush paranoia weed.. thought why wouldnt cops just have a cop car camping the street to see who goes in and out... like they would know that its a front right?.. Any thoughts?

Hey...... Time has come to try and grow some nevs haze indoors. Has anyone tried growing under lights? I have been told to start seeds under 12 hrs strait away....good idea? Also the use of bonza bud and the likes to stop the stretch factor.....any other suggestions for a first time indoor sativa grow? Damo

I just got a hanna ppm pen, I have found out in the forums that strarting at 400 ppm is good, but is there a chart or something to kind of go by till I get used to growing this way. Any help would be great at this point, show me a thread to help or something . Thankx much will be looking at grow guides till then or :smoke

i got three lil seedlings in one pot, they're about 3 inches tall and have their second set of leaves (not including di-cotlydens), do i put them in their own pots or what should i do? they are outside plants by the way. p.s. They got really burnt in the sun because i left them under a fish tank acting as a greeen house on a hot day, any ideas for that to? cheers AFTERMATH

OK guys Alot of places I go to know me fairly well. Anyways They almost always give me their nutrients to try out, they always tend to think that I will endorse their nutrients and this will increase sale (). Anyways I have just been given a new Australian Nutrient called "Superior blend" I havent used it yet but it sounds promissing as you can easily use the same nutrient for veg as well as flowering, so you dont need to worry about seperate nutes etc. I feel its possible beacuse they are lacking certain levels of stuff but here goes- lable says" Superior blend, speciafically blended for maximum results everytime. it then says Easy to use 50/50 blend ratio, shake wel…
