General Cultivation Q&A

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.

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 …

Ok so for my first grow im gonna get a few little pots to start them off then move to medium and then large pots. 2 plants with Miracle Grow and 2 Plants with Rapid Grow. Was there anything else i needed? And whats blood and bone? i hear so much about it oh and im growing outdoors and the plants will be New Purple Power, Hollands Hope, and then hopefully Hawiian Skunk #1 and Northern Lights X Shiva later on.

around how many ounces of bud does a normal plant produce after being uder 400watt lights.didnt really know where to post this one.

i set up a curtain in my wardrobe 2 block the light in so u cant see light cumming out of my wardrobe and its a small wardrobe so the curtain is against the light all the time is this bad? will the light get hot and could it burn its a 400 watt light.

Hi everyone, I just bought a 2nd hand grow light setup up, and the first time i plugged it in everything went wonderfully, massive amounts of light etc etc. However, since then whenever I plug it in, I get a loud and scary crackling coming from the ballast, and the bulb will not light up. I'm no electrician, so my best guess is "there is something wrong with the heavy boxy bit". Anyone able to help me out? Thanks!

i have a plant that has been growing outdoors for about 4 months it is a good big healthy plant i recently put in under a 400 watt light in a wardrobe. do i need to do anything else to the setup is a light just enough or do i need more equipment,how far away should the plant be from the light. im pretty wasted so i hope this makes sense.
