General Cultivation Q&A

hey everyone. ok, for my first indoor grow im planning on buying the following as my budget is small beyond belief, and outdoor is out of the question. -2-4 cf lights(400 watters are out of the question) -a cupboard, traditional 2 door job -some nutes (you opinions please) -some medium(prolly some cheapo bunnings shit(pinions please)( -a watering can -a fan for ventilation(where i will be growing is very cool, even in summer, prolly around the 25-27 degree mark) some white paint for cupboard, and black plastic shit to cover ground to make more sterile i have probably forgotten somthing, so please give me your suggestions. me and my mother will probably…

I recently aquired 5 seeds and have been trying to germinate them using the paper towel method. I found a tupperware container, put 2 layers of paper towel on the bottom of it and soaked it. I then spead the 5 seeds evenly over the paper towel and placed a wet piece of paper towel over them. Then sealed the container and placed on top of my dvd drive, which is nice and warm. It's been about a day and a half now, and nothing noticeable is happening.....how long does this method usually take? Just worried that I may have 5 dud seeds.... Cheers

Well i posted this first in Indoor lighting but after a few days, 8 views and no replies i am going to post here in hope of an answer. If you have seedlings/clones on 24/24(fluros), what is the best way to change the light cycle to be able to put them outdoors? Will i freak them out putting them straight outdoors or should i gradually reduce light hours and then put them out? Advice appreciated....

Hi all, Just wondering peoples thoughts on weather nute strength has anything to do with the high. I normally go around 600 ppm for veg and a max of 1200 ppm for flower. My problem is that recently i've grown out some C99 & some AK47, Both were nowhere near as good as discribed, I've smoked homegrown leaf, Grown outdoors, Thats givin me a stronger high. I've never had any probs with the high off any of the bagseed that i've grown outdoors but, As soon as i moved indoors with known strains, The high has just been average. What am i doing wrong?, Can anybody help me?, Please. Thanks heaps, Much appreciated, Paranoid.

Hey guys, I had a mongrel plant come up from seed. When it was about 14" high, I brought it inside and put it on 12/12. It took about 12 days to tell me that it was a male so outside it went again. Now, it is covered with buds. Wxcuse my ignorance but is this usual? I have attached a pic but it is a bit blurry

Before i start growing outdoors what things will i need? I know the obvious eg. water but like what type of water? Tap? Bottle? I used tap but i let it sit for one day before i used it what else will i need? thanks..

I'm growing in a cupboard atm and am expierencing a few problems. main prob keeping the temp under control. I'm going to buy some fans soon so there is proper air flow. My question is..... my DWC buckets are quite warm. like almost warm bath temp. hahaha. this cant be good for the plants. what temp should i be keeping the tubs and what temp should the cupboard be + do i need humdity or not? thanks ppl. It's good to be back growing again. Mick

hey all, just a few from my current flower and veg.

hey everyone,if root clones indoor under fluro/ growlux 24/7 until rooted then take outdoors how long will they flower 4 before they change back 2 veg,and what about large clones same shit???

heres a photo of what i thought were both the same strain (AK47/C99)........unless maybe i got my seeds a bit mixed up as u can see one is alot taller than the other one which is shorter but bushier...maybe the taler one is more sativa dominant? i dont know which of my plants are boys or girls yet, wish they would hurry up an start flowering though....

HI there, Firstly, thanks to everyone for their advise. I've got 5 x 5 foot MJ's in full flower on the first attempt due to your help and support. A question now. Do you guys continue your watering cycles during the night cycle of 12 / 12 ? I've always continued the water cycle of a night, but I have read recently that this can increase humidity to a dangerous level during the night, and encourage `Bud Rot' etc. The RH on my Grow room has been about 70 - 85 % recently. Again thank you for your help. Gunja
