General Cultivation Q&A

Howdy Folks, I just thought we might start a discussion on Mother plants and what the best methods might be for their survival. I have a couple of photo-period plants that have just popped up. They are Mekong High and feminized and i would really like to keep them growing but being a photo-period plant and being this time of year i would assume that they will probably grow to 6 inches high and start throwing out small buds. If i keep picking the buds off will they keep growing or am i wasting my time? It would be great to get them up to 1 meter or so and give me a heap of clones for next year ( later this year). Any suggestions would be very much appreciated. Have a great…

As you can see in the pictures, one of my branches with a flower on top the pistons are all brown( first photo) and others flowers still white pistons, my question is do I harvest the whole plant or just that branch, so I don't get mould? Thankyou Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hi everyone, Just wondering if anyone has used or is currently using Bitch'n by Growhard Australia. I'm in week nine of flower with some Dutch Passion Blueberry (which as many of you will likely know is prone to herming) and I've been Bitch'n since I switched to 12/12. I'm aware that the active ingredient is a PGR (ethephon), but as ethephon is widely used in commercial food production I currently assume it's not too harmful. I'm growing in coco under 600 watts with the full line of Canna coco nutes and additives, Bitch'n and some General Hydroponics Calmag Plus, nothing else. Should be ready to flush in about a week. I decided on trying to grow DP Blueberry becau…

I have a DTW automated system with a 60 litre res. It's all black with just a couple of holes out the top for hoses and the lid is left slightly ajar for the pump cord. No light coming in from what I can tell via those 2 openings. I do however get a slight algae build up on the hoses and pumps. Worried this may become more of a problem. How often do ppl clean their res out? Do you scrub everything every couple of weeks? Do you add a maintenance dose of hydrogen peroxide(good for roots too I heard).

Yo ho folks just coming towards the end of my first indoor grow, coming from a bag seed and it's turned out a beauty. Thinking I'd like a few seeds keep this strain going and also my two seed shipments failed so I ain't got anything else

I'm planning my first garden, a small closet based operation. Just want to supply my own tasty treats, because I don't have a reliable source and I already home brew & home distill, so this would complete my home-made weekend supplies! Due to some domestic constraints and general privacy issues, I'm relegated to a bedroom closet. The closet has a hanging space that could be cleared out, 60x60x180cm. I'm considering one of the 40x40x120cm tents by Homebox or Secret Jardin. Homebox also has a 30x30x60 version. I could get a 60x60x140cm into the closet in theory. But I imagine I might need a little outside space for vents, power cords, nutrient/water reservoirs,…

I'm planning my next run with Hempys. I'll have a couple of inches of perlite in the res part of the bucket. I've seen plenty of posts from overseas forums saying its mandatory due to the dust. A sludge may form in the bottom of the res area if not. The perlite I have is pictured below. With perlite being as messy as it is I'm wondering if I could avoid the rinse. What do you guys think and do and how? MLG Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I use H&G cocos in DTW setup. My ppm is steady at 650 now for flowering (tap water 120ppm).1/2 ml per litre of crystalic also added. I picked up some PK heavy today. Does anyone else use it and what rate do you mix it? A rather helpful forum member here suggested 1/2 ml per litre for the crystallic in the past, same for the PK Heavy?

I've been looking at soil mixes and the only one that really stands out to me is the Canna Terra Pro, + Canna Terra Vega & Flores. How solid is this stuff, is it worth it? I just want a solid medium for the plants to grow in, I'm aware that making your own soil is the best option (cheaper, less commerical etc..) but i just want to not have to worry about the soil being bad quality. As the for the nutrients as well, i'm sure that I'd want to stick towards using their range over anything else right? Thanks for reading, if you have any other soil recommendations/nutes please comment down below

Hi all Just wondering how many people here do the sums on their grows?
