General Cultivation Q&A

Just popped in to share this: We had this real pretty friend of GF's down over xmas and she grows out door up north. She said she puts used coffe grinds in the bottom of her pots and holes to stop rootrot. I'd never heard of it, but I told stinky pete and he said "yeah, that works good in pots" so there ya go. I dunno if it works, just passin it on. She's grown a lot of pot though. Hmmm, and hot too. God bless nature. V

This has always worked for me, so maybe you'ld like to try it. First, make a pendulum. You can use a ring on a chain, a necklace or even a peg on a piece of string. Next, determine you indicators. Hold the pendulum in the right or left hand so that it dangles freely. Say out loud,"show me female". The pendulum will either swing backward and foward or around in a circle. This will be your female indicator. Then, say out loud, "show me male". The pendulum should indicate the opposite for what you received for "female". This is the male indicator. Practise a few times and then try it on a seed. Receive your answer and plant your seed. Test this if you like and let me…

This is my first post and my first grow. I have just seen something which I have not read about anywhere else. Not that I am well read or anything. I have two older female plants (midgets - but thats another story) - started outdoors in Sept 03 and put into 12/12 (on their own in a cupboard for dark cycle and outside for light cycle) about 16 days ago. They have started flowering nicely -will try to post some pics later. What is really interesting is that I have started a few seedlings about a month ago (that have not been in 12/12 and have been receiving full sun all day long). Two of these smaller plants (about 18 cm high) have started producing male flowers without be…

Hi, anyone got any ideas? i bought some afgani seeds by mail and they wont germinate properly, ive tried all the normal ways, paper towels, direct sowing etc. All that happens, the white tip comes out a fraction and goes back again, wont extend at all. The seeds have been kept at a pretty constant 30 degrees while germinating. Do these things need a hotter temp?
