General Cultivation Q&A

hello i was hoping someone might be able to tell me why my pH keeps dropping in my bubblers... im new to bubblers and was expecting the pH to drift upwards, not down. im using 2 plant bubblers, 60L in size with no control res. for nutes im using Advanced Hydroponics of Holland, Cannazym, and Rhizotonic. i set the initial pH to 6.0 and within 2 days its dropped to 5.5. my plants are 4 weeks in to veg and im about to switch them to flowering, and they are healthy enough, but this pH dropping has me confused. help!! thanks mu

hey im a smoker and i've been spending loads of money. i recently decided to try to start growing my own weed, but i have absolutely no idea on how to do it. is there a basic guide i can find somewhere? i been checking around the site and all i can find is hydro systems and stuff and like theres water pumps and pipes and all this crape, and i have no idea what they are talking about. i was thinking all u need to grow pot is a light and a pot and seeds. but theres obviously alot more to it.. can someone help me please im a total noob

the aim is to try to keep the plants as small as possible in the veg chamber under flo's. plants are from seed (for now) any tips, do's and don'ts regarding root trimming... how much to cut off and where from and how often? thanks

hey i was sorta wondering if i should be leaving my air pump on in the dwc even when the lights are off ? the roots are in the water. i usually run it when the lights are on but i was thinking maybe it should be running 24/7 ? any info would be great.

hy guys! can anyone tell me some indoor well yielding varieties which are not very stinky during flowering because the odor would be a problem for me because of the neighbours. thanks p.s. where can i find some good and relativly cheap seeds on the net with world wide shipping?

How long shold u let your plant grow before u start to flower it?

I know this is a wack idea but weve all thought it, is it possible to splice weed into chillis, snow peas or anyhing that has a quick growth rate. Just had too ask it

It all started to go downhill with the HDF...germination rates dropped off and now they are so poor I refuse to grow anything. I should clarify....Getting the seeds to sprout is no problem....using the paper towell method on a warm source (but not hot) - they never dry out. The problem seems to be the next step..puttem them in the medium of which I have tried coco fibre, seed raising soil, growcubes, soil...and nothing happens...no sprouts are popping up...nothing.... The area is kept moist but not too wet...the humidity is good...and not too high and the environment is warm and not cold... WTF is going on My grow rates for seeds has gone from 100% to like 2% with…

I didnt appericate the comment But Here it is anyway. Hydrogen Peroxide and Horticulture Hydrogen Peroxide (H2O2) is a clear sharp smelling substance very similar in appearance to water (H2O). Like water it is made up of Hydrogen and Oxygen, however H2O2 has an extra Oxygen atom in an unstable arrangement. It is this extra atom that gives H2O2 its useful properties. H2O2 has been used for many purposes including cleaning, bleaching, sterilizing, rocket fuel, animal feed treatment and in addition many miraculous claims about its health benefits have been made. …

Hi all, just wondering if someone could give me the directions for Bonzai Sol as mine were torn off by a piece of packin tape in the post.. Muchly appreciated

I got hold of a 3 ft x 15 inch fish tank. I am currently using this to keep seedlings going while the other is growing. I am using a anti-algae tube in it at the moment, this does not seem to be disagreeing with them at the moment. Is this a reasonable method to keep seedlings going until thet are ready to go into the grow chamber ? At the moment they are only 6 days old, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.

just wondering if i can trim a couple of leaves of my plant . the plant is about 15cms high and has big leaves which are starting to droop a bit and they are also stopping the light getting to the new shoots which are coming out i wouldn't mind getting more light into them to help them grow alot quicker. thanks guys.
