General Cultivation Q&A

I have many plants that are in the sixth week flowering, and i was wondering if the pistols will sprout buds and fill in the colas also how big will they get the last two weeks? Travis, ca

just wondering what to do with the first initial leaf that shoots up . the two that are rounded do they stay on or get rid of them ive been told two different answers. the only reason for asking is that they seem to be still growing very slowly and i thought this might be the problem. cheers.

Just reflecting on the cost of setting up and maintaining an indoor grow. Apart from the initial costs of equipment, how much do you reckon you spend each year ? ( electricity, nutes, new bulbs etc )

Today i saw a hydro set up which appealed to me for a few reasons. It is marketed as the 'Hydro Pot' system, and the pots are gravity fed water and nutrients through a system that does not use electricity. This was one positive point. The other appeal was that since all the nutrients are already mixed in, there is less mucking around with ph levels etc. This system also did not need to be flushed, as water is fed through the gravity pipe- similar to a hospital drip i guess. It also seemed to take up less space than the traditional well systems. Could someone please offer advise regarding this setup compared to the well system. The cost was around $100 for a 2 pot setup, a…

I would appreciate some detailed instructions on the various ways you guys are using your ozone gens. Do you have to turn your exhausts off because wouldn't the ozone get sucked out and not be effective, then maybe have a heat problem. I know shit all about them but thinking about getting one.
