General Cultivation Q&A

Hi All, Should I start using flowering nutrients when I drop my lights back to 12/12 or wait until sex is determined? Sorry this post should be in indoor medium and nutrients Cheers dwyndorf

Hyrdrogen peroxide , is it some thing i have to buy from a hydroponics shop ? or does it have another name as in a supermarket item or Nursery store item ? My local Hydro shop is a blatant rip off(i refuse to go there) , so i have to travel 250 klms

I know this is a really dumb question, but is Indica usually that mellow "no paranoia" weed, and sativa more of a mind buzz? I know there's a difference but could someone explain it to me please? I don't want to grow really trippy horror stuff (and believe me I've had some really bad shit)

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…

Hello, I'm building a simple DWC system and was wondering if its ok to use reflective material such as mylar under the plants? Cheers dwyndorf

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.

Is there anything you can do to help decrease the gaps between nodes if you have a strain that tends to bud on the end of each branch and maybe 1 or 2 down the branch only. Appreciate any thoughts on this .

How you doin. Just wanting to find anbody with aeroflo experence. I have come across an aeroflo 36, and would like to have a succesful grow. So I was thinking maybe you could help a fella out with some of those rookie mistakes and things to look for. There are a few things I have gathered like the tubes are a little small so you veg very little 5-7 days to keep them small. Res. temp I've been told is critical to prevent root rot. I've seen several methods of cooling them, whats yours? Is there anybody that makes these look easy?

Does anyone know if there is significant yield loss (in weight) if you pick crop at 6 weeks as opposed to 7 weeks and then compared to 8 weeks. I have been told that the buds put on all of their weight in last 2 weeks. Is this true? Thanks

I am having trouble with smell even though I think I have done every thing possible to eliminate it. The smell is not outside the house, just inside especially around the door of grow room, but if I shut doors and windows in house due to paranoia the smell wafts through the entire joint. Can't have visitors and god help me if a neighbour needs to borrow a cup of sugar.It's really starting to fuck me off. I have detailed my exhausting and inlet set up below, can any one find the flaw? My grow space is about 1.5m x1.5m it is partitioned off with white plastic from ceiling to floor but is not airtight. It is a manmade plastic room inside a normal bedroom. Suspended from the …

Hello every1,Just wondering where you buy ph testing paper etc for testing ph

I've noticed that after I've watered, with nutrients added to my water, the water that drains into the overflow buckets has a green film on the top of it. I always clean the buckets with hot water before re-use, can anyone tell me what this is, and if it may be harmful. thanks
