General Cultivation Q&A

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

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.
