General Cultivation Q&A

Hi OZ stoners & general visitors, I was scanning thru the FAQ at OVERGROW.com i found these very useful articles by train1 & highgrade. Those articles inspired me to GROW & STOP paying DEALERs for shitty little GRAMs, Quaters, Half Ounces etc. I'v decided to follow the same plans on train1 & highgrade's articles but scale it down so it's a TWO BUBBLER setup. My SETUP has to be quite, light-proof & supply me all year round. Im completly new to all this INDOOR GROWING & would appreciate if ANYONE could help me with a few QUESTIONs I'v read on OVERGROW that MH bulbs are better for VEGETATION growth and HPS bulbs are good for FLOWERING. Is th…

Joy. After 18 weeks and close to two thousand dollars investment I did it. I luckily considering the problems I encountered pulled close to nine ounces after drying. See? You kids grow one plant in the garage and take photo's of rubbish. I would love to photo the leaves on my latest SOG as they are the biggest I have ever seen. Like 20 centimenters long and 4 centimeter wide each of the five fingers. It has trippled (more even) over the last two weeks on Coco Canna and Canna Zym and Bio-Bugs with Evolution Solution's Leaf Feed. It frustrates me to see photo's of leafy heads (all of thirty grams! Wow not) almost mature male flowers (how could you leave it that long? Males…

Hey all, A mate of mine had two 5 foot sativa females we were growing at his place ( different plants to my plant in the grow thread ), but he has since moved house so they are totally in my care. I transplanted them straight into the ground with some of their original soil, as they were grown totally natural from seed. And 12 hours later all leaves and supple branches are drooping towards the ground. Since i discovered this, ive topped their holes up with good potting soil, stamped it down nice and hard and gave them a pretty big water. My question is that i think the drooping must be transplant shock, from what i described can anyone verify this ? Ive never had to…

Webster's Dictionary Definition of Hydroponics: Adj. Hydroponics - the growing of plants in nutrient solutions with or without an inert medium to provide mechanical support. If hydroponics by definition uses an inert (inorganic) media can Coco peat (organic) be counted as a type of soil in a run to waste system? If so how would the law see it if you are in front of a magistrate charged with cultivation of your paltry 1 or 2 plants in states like WA? Is this a possible loophole or has the government covered this angle already?

G'day folks I've been growing in a Hypergrow chamber (see Hypergrow) Been using the pumice they supplied but want to change it to something else - perlite maybe? What do you reckon? I want something easy to work with and not needing too much ongoing maintenance. I've reused the pumice once but it's a pain to clean for reuse. Perlite could be just replaced after each grow? Pros/cons of perlite? Alternatives to it? Ï'm using PowerGro nutes if this makes any difference. So it's a pretty basic setup but is going ok cos I don't have much time to fuss over it. Thanks for your advice

Hey all, I was just watching the news and heard about the possibility of blackouts throughout Perth. What do people with hydro setups with lights and pumps and stuff do when they lose power? Those poor bastards..... Dunno why I mentioned that.... Maynard

The instructions say to use it once about four weeks before harvest, but I have read that some use it continiously until flush after about 3 weeks into flower. also, I'm much more concerned with quality than yield and some say while bud additives add to yield they detract from potency. comments from anyone who has used PK13-14 appreciated...

:: For great outdoor growth rates, I've always had great success with this. When the plants are established out the back, take a bucket of kitchen compost and make a pile near the plant(s), like a mini compost heap. Cover with straw or lawn clippings. The plants receive extra local CO2 from the decomposition, exrta nutrient and some acididity, which they love. Happy growing!
