General Cultivation Q&A

I swear i have the worst luck My first plant turned out to be a male 3 seeds diddnt germ i lost one seed 2 got stolen and now a fuckin branch fell on my plant so its fucked...=( i hate growing....

gday, as some of you would know I have only just recently moved indoors, so I am still trying to get my bearings. Bare with me if I ask fucking stupid questions. I have just transplanted from soil to coco, and everything seems to have gone well.I can't believe how thirsty the coco is, that shit absorbs water like nothing else!!! I have all my pots sitting in saucers.The dude at the local hydro store told me that i could either sit the pots in saucers or a second larger pot and pour a reasonable of water +nutes into it to let the coco continually absorb it. I have done this, and when i went to check on them the following morning, the saucers were dry.My coco is mois…

Whats your favorite strain. And are there any strains that every grower should at least grow once? If there was id have to say white widow.

Hi i have a few plants im flowering at the moment and was wondering if i should snip some of the leaf in order to give more of the plants energy to its buds it has. Me wanting nice Colas. Just a thought and wasnt sure so i thought id ask. Cheers guys

Hello. I live in South Oz and a guy sent me this seed from Canada last Year. Its a really nice sticky female plant but is only 1 foot tall. once i harvest the buds SOON, i want to know how i can i keep it alive until the next growing season, which will be around auguat this year. I dont have lights, so will it survive say in my kitchen out of the winters cold. Thanks Jason

There is a company in canada building "mini grow rooms". There name is Suncell, They are using a new flourescent that utilizes an electronic ballast. The pros are no heat created by the lights, and they are suposed to have a faster "flicker" rate that is not noticed by the plant. I calculate they are getting aprox 40,000 lumens (aprox) with 8 tubes. Here is my question.... has anyone looked at this "new technology", if you have do you feel these tubes are a viable option for growing and flowering, or is this just hype? I apreciate your feed back as I am thinking of buying some to try and I really don't want to waste cash.

I have 2 unknowns under a 16W (55W output) cool white globe and a 35W cool white fluoros. I just put them in styrofoam cups and under the lights, they have big 'round' leaves, and 1 has a 'true' leaf coming out. I was wondering how when i should water them...?

Hi all. I was repotting some seedlings yesterday, and during the process I was thinking about how hard it was for me to know what to do until I'd tried out a few things. Many plants suffered at my hands because I was slow to do things, or too quick with others... Anyway, I thought about it a bit, and came to an idea. I'll make a series of photos on how repotting a small seedling can go. And here they are. The subject is a Dutch Passion Purple Star Seedling. It's a little over a month old, and getting ready to power on her (I hope) main vegetative growth stages. To prepare for this, it's repotting time. The seedling was started in the Aquamiser, as some of you m…

Hi guys & gals, Iv brought a 250watt MH and made my bubbler bucket but I'm still confuzed. I know i need a pH tester, pH up & pH down chemicals. What else ?????

A few months ago I bought a clone from a hydro shop.She has now come to harvest time and I have found 3 or 4 seeds through out the plant. Does anyone know why this occurs? Also, can I clean my truncheon with a scourer? A friend has what we think is scarid fly.He is drenching now, but does anyone know the damage they can do, in terms of symptoms on the plant, the loss of yeild etc. They have been there a few weeks IMO. Really appreciate and thoughts or comments. Thanx
