General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, Just wondering if it is possible to keep a strain going on & on by taking clones from clones. I've heard that after a while the clones lose their vigour. Is this true? I am currently thinking of getting a motherplant chamber and take my cuttings off her but as always $$$ is a problem for the time being.

i've heard so many different stories. from "any light at all, anytime, during 12hr lights-out and they're totally f*****d" to "no probs, an occasional flash of light is ok" and even " you can go in there with a torch in an emergency" this from a grow shop owner. so please!! what's the royal scam?

Hay yall. I just wanted to see if anyone knew if power form hydro nutez can be kept for a while or do they go stale? I have monsta grow n bloom by grow australia and i used them a while ago on one plant, but i had no experience then and gave it up n went back to soil (i have probs with it currently n posted to pests n disease for any answers, if your interested) Now i have the know how and i will be using an autopot system with 8 plants that are feed using a unique device that fills the trays with nutes n then wont refill till the tray is dry then refills. i will use perlite, which is apparently the ideal medium with this sys. And under a hps 400w. So anyway, can i use …

Hello All, I've got some seeds that say they have a 53 Day Flowering Period. Does this mean 53 days from the day I cut the light down to 12/12 OR 53 days from when the first flowers appear? Thanks again, dwyndorf

just wondering what most people's tap water is like for hydro growing my tap water is .9 on my TDS meter which i think is 900ppm, I grow at around 2.2 - 2.4 which is only 1.3 - 1.5 real nutes the rest is crud in the water, The thing is my last crop leaves a salty taste in my mouth, so its probaly not flushed properly using the .9 tap water, I'll have plenty rain water for the next crop thanks to the recent rains, Rain water comes up at 0.1 on my TDS meter, which should make the next crop better.

can anyone give me some help on growing in the germination period. i need to know if u can grow with a purple fluro in the germination period . and what kind of temp is needed to grow in this period. also what is the ideal length before putting them into my cupboard. cheers

Why is life an eternal struggle??

Some filthy little rodent had pilfered my seedlings....i found all the seed casings behind the chamber,but that was all............. I have become so disheartened that i have decided to start my 3 week old on its buddin cycle...... How many others have had this problem? Don't worry that little rodent has just made itself an …

My first harvest went alright, from one plant about 2 feet tall i got 35 grams... They smell great, smoke nice and getcha really high! The only problem is they are really loose!

Any thoughts, tricks or ideas? PLEASE My next harvest is in 20 days then 20 after that and so on.......
