General Cultivation Q&A

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

Here is my first plant and girl ( i hope:) ) She has been going a couple of months now, and was starting to show indifferent primordia, but im fairly sure these are now calyx's, as two thin hairs are starting to emerge from the preflowers, please glance at my pic and post some opinions on sex thanks guys, keep on growin

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!

heres my DWC i built the other day all products were from bunnings cost $14

hi guys! I've been growing this plant for about 4 months now. It hasn't always received as much water as it shouldv'e and it got a bit shocked when I transplanted it, also this is my first attempt so I know it's nothing special. I've had it on 12/12 (putting it in a light proof shed, actually sometimes more than 12 dark hours) for about a week now, and still no sign of flowering. Also, I've been feeding it bloom booster every day, about 1/2 strength, and it receives full sunlight for its light period. My big question is, can anyone tell me if its male or female?? I've read a lot of posts and other websites on the topic, but I cant for the life of me figure it out for myse…

Heres the scenario, Basically im living with my olds, and they are not fond of the old mj So i need a compact setup, indoors, but soil as a medium. Now i have found myself a light, as to how good it is i dont know, but its metal hooded ( like inside a metal hooded casing ) and is of tube type. Its very light purple when turned on, not dark purple like a UV. and it casts off a bright white light. i dont know how good this is, but im only looking to grow one very small plant at a time, say a foot or so tall. now i need to ideas in what to construct my grow box, that can fit the 60cm long light. I know this is a tough ask, but i need it to blend in as something, or be i…

hello fellow stoners just another question what size would u turn your plants to flowering. My last grow I turned the plants at 25cm and ended up with plants a metre high and did not want that, wanted 3 foot plants I turned the clones at 15cm this time and are all ready 80cm tall. should I turn them as soon as the clones get a grip and start u can see when they do that any comments ould be great thanks to any one THANKS bb47
