General Cultivation Q&A

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.

So i have seedlings which need to go in the ground as the roots are starting to get a bit big for the pot. The roots are circling around but not rootbound badly. Problem is we are sitting on 42c at the moment and all week looks the same. If i transplant tonight and water pots well should they be able to handle heat or will i end up killing them? Away for a week so its either now or next weekend

I'm planning on topping my plant as part of the Nebula's Manifold first stage. The topped part will be 3 nodes of healthy plant, seems a waste to bin it. Is it worth putting it in some water or a rooting plug? I've never cloned before, but isn't this kinda the same thing? I don't have space to replant it in my tent, but maybe I could stash it somewhere in the bush for a low effort guerrilla grow.

I'm midway through my first grown, DWC in a small tent. I'm thinking I might try a soil grow next, because keeping my hydro reservoir cool is difficult. Supersoil has appeal to me, because it sounds like most of the hard work is done at the mixing/cooking stage. After that I just gotta keep the moisture correct. Sound right? I'm interested in the Dr Greenthumbs type all-in-one mixes. I realize I could follow Subcool's recipe, but I only need a single pot's worth per grow and I'm willing to put convenience over bulk purchase cost savings. A couple quick questions: Is something like Dr Greenthumbs Super Soil kit + myco innoculant + compost tea a complete system? …

Planning to give a dose of neem into my hempy Buckets as a "just in case". Got a few brown blotches on lower leaves. Is it OK to mix with nutes as per normal and water straight in? Being hempy, some neem will sit in the hempy res until next watering. Or, better to just do plain water and not a thorough soaking as I've read it's only the first 10cm of coco you need penetrated to get rid of gnat eggs if they are there.

Heya all Just wondering if it's a viable idea to reuse your dirt after a grow. Im using canna terra pro, and i've just gotten rid of the stumps of the plant but have two 10l buckets of left over soil. Are there any pro's / cons? Like would the soil still have left over trace nutrients? also full of left over roots as well. or should I just spread it out over my other non-canna plants in the garden?

Hi everyone, I recently was given 20litres of add bud flower enhancer. https://www.hydroworld.com.au/additives/fastway-hydroponics/add-bud-20l/ I would like to give it a go but thought I would ask peoples opinions as I don't know anyone who has used it. I'm currently using a drain to waste with 70/30 coco/perlite with Canna coco, I have just flipped to flower and intend on using a pk13/14 as I normally would. I normally use a recirculating system with canna classic A & B, plus pk13/14 when needed and get good results. Have you used Add Bud and what did you think? cheers

Hey all , can someone please tell me of a nute line were you can follow recommended , mixing rates ?? As most weve tried various brands , but with my experience & the use of EC or PPM meters , they are all way out of wack, causing many probs surely there is a nute line that concerntrates on grower & plant well being rather than to sell another bottle of nute im currently using 1/2 to a 1/3 strength of reco mixing rates …….. im not asking what nutes are best you may say if that's the case , just keep doing what your doing , but , there is times were that isn't b…

Just thought I'd share, Have had a 3 leafer before but this is new to me. Codyledon leaves came out on same side, parallel,not opposed. Looks like 2 plants, one a 3 leafer (whorled Palladia or whatever) and the other a traditional.

Hey, My grow is set to finish up around the time I have to go away for 10 days. I have 3 or 4 possible scenarios. Pull early (possoble week or 2) and start the dry whilst gone. It may finish in time. Pull and dry whilst gone. (likely) use the time away as a flush with a diy drip feeder. Or if i let it go, and they starve of water- what are the issues i face. Anyone any advice? I know its a bit of an unknown until i get closer. Depending on the outcome i may need to know, how to dry slowly in qld so as not too dry after 10days when i return. New grower here guys. Seriously annoyed at this unplan ned trip at the worst of times. I dont have the option…
