General Cultivation Q&A

If ive had a few seeds lying on a bench for a few months in a bedroom, is thier any chance of them growing or would they be useless?

Hi to all, I have a couple of silly questions. Firstly, I have some seeds I ordered from seedsdirect, they arrived 7 days after ordering. They are: K2, B-52, Bubblicious & Northern Light X Shiva. All Nirvana. Because they didn't have Ice, they have given me 15 seeds of Skunk#1 and didn't charge me for the NL X Shiva. Unreal deal. I dont want to make the same mistakes that I made with my first attempt at germ. I think I overwatered them and also using 1/2 strength nute when they first came thru didn't help either. This time, I have soaked rockwool cubes in ph 5.5 with 1/2 strength nutes added. I have read this several times somewhere. At the same time, I soa…

I am seriously thinking about starting an indoor grow with my friend, we don't have a hydro store here so would there be any outdoor nutrients that i would find at Mitre 10 hardware store or a garden shop that i could use in my buckets?? And if there is do you mix the nutrients at half directed strength??, I am thinking about having 4, 15 litre buckets under a 400w HPS, and in the veg part i was thinking of having 4 15 litre buckets but in 2 of them i would have 2 pots so i could start 4 clones off, and the other 2 buckets would have 1 pot each in them, these would be under a 400W MH, how much air would i need to be pumping into the buckets?? Also, where are all the place…

OK, I've read that if u cut off the very tip of the plant it branches into 2 more or somethin like that . Now correct me if I'm wrong cuz I've read alot of pruning and tipping but I still have no clue how the fuck to do it right. Well I cut off the top of my plant it's about a foot tall and I guess it's supposed to heal or somethin and keep growing. It's been like 2 weeks and nothin happened...It's still blank and the part that I cut is just brown on the inside and my plant hasn't grown an inch. ALL info/pics would be greatly appreciated on how the hell to tip/prune and all that shit. I'm clueless

Here is a link for some books you can download for free. Some guy scanned them and put them up so other people could access them. I downloaded a couple, but he didn't zip them or put them all in one download so you have to download a chapter at a time, but it still beats buying them!! Some excellent books here too!.... There is 8 books all up. Download Grow books here.

hello all just a bit off advice needed Just got given this durbon poison off a mate it's about 3 mounths old and in dirt. it's been under floros all it's life but now I got it under one off my 400w hps would I be able to transfer it out iff the dirt into a another pot and into my flood and drain and would I start it on full tit nutreints and super thrive or a weeker mix ( I will be useing clay balls as well) . any advice would be good punk

Well I finally bought a digicam so I got some pictures for ya's. Its a cheap ass camera so pics arnt too good. Ok this grow is a bagseed plant that looks pretty fucking sativa dom. under a 400w Son T HPS growing in a 20L bucket full of coco and a bit of perlite. Used DM Hot CoCo for veg then DM Advance for flower but I just about am out so I bought some Amsterdam Indoors to finish.... (I would never buy DM nutes again after using hot coco and advance, I reckon the cheap general shitty hydro nutes at big w worked better for me then the hot coco.... Also got some R & D Superbloom anyone used much of it its ment to be 100% natural however that works and you add it …

Hi all, just wondering if anyone can shed some light on a question of mine. I'm not exaclty sure what its called, but you know when you have one plant, grow it and then take a cutting, grow that one and then harvest each different plant after taking a cutting? I think thats what like Northern Lights #5 is, the fifthe generation? Hopefully this is right. Anyway does this in anyway decrease potency of the plant? I have one friend who believes no, in fact after the say fifth or so generation the weed gets really good. However then I have heard others say this isnt right, and it in fact harms the quality of the herb. Any thoughts on this would be most appreciated:) Thanks an…

I dont know whether you guys have seen this brilliant article but it is chokkas with big colour pics and a good description of the problems and how to fix them. Being a newbie, I will keep it very close to me as I am sure I will be able to relate to some of the probs. along tjhe way. www.overgrow.com/growfaq/97 Good luck and sorry about mentioning another site on here.

I was watching a gardening program the other week and they were saying that the bigger the roots the bigger the plants,well i thought obviously,but how can i make them MUCH BIGGER. So i thought that someone could have two 2-2 1/2ft plants in two 40cm pots and tie them down toward each other,slice off both tops diagonaly and line them both up and graft them together by sticking them with tape. S now you`ll have one plant not two.After a few days(shock)take a couple of branches long enough to bend over into another 40cm pot,slice thier tops off and plant these in the other 40cm pot.You could do this to many branches,so then you would have one huge plant with say 5 or mo…

Greetings all! I stumbled across this site a couple of days ago and am quite suprised about the quality of info available here. I havent been on any mull forums for a couple of years (just starting to grow again) but remember the only credible sites to be cannabisculture and overgrow. It is good to know their is a somewhat intelligent growing community here (and all Aussie!) and over the next few months I plan to share info about my grow. My Question... I am in the stages of designing my grow room and want to base the dimensions on the width of the buckets to ensure the space is used most efficiently. I dropped into Bunnings and the price of good quality buckets …

:: Hi to all, During the time I have been a member, I think I have read all the topics and associated replies etc. What gets me is the difference between one grower and another. e.g. one says soil is best, the other says hydro is the way to go. Pot is better tasting from soil, pot is better from hydro, la la la la. As far as growing techniques, well that really puts the "bull in the china shop". I have read to go SCROG, another says no way, go SOG. On top of that another says grow em big, big = big buds. This was thumped upon by a reply saying that it is better to grow small as you get more buds and therefore more for your growing dollar than you do by growing one …
