General Cultivation Q&A

yeah im thinking maybe i should add some nutes but am clueless about it all, are they for veg stage or flowering or both? i want to keep the grow as organic and natural as possible so i dont have that chemical taste when smoking it, so what can i use apart from manure and stuff which is going to stink too much in an indoor grow, specially coming into summer and something easily available, should i just use osmocote or something from the local shop? im only growing like 9 babys right now, dont need a shitload of stuff or real expensive stuff...

Well I today received my seeds (Thx my friend) I have planted 9 very berry's (OZCO – seeds) and 5 ducksfeet (Ducksfoot - Wally Duck) I soaked a egg carton in drinking water. I then proceeded to fill up the cups with seed raising mix then planted my seeds. I watered them slightly. They are sitting in a box full of seed raising mix under my desk The box is wrapped in a blanket and a steel top covering it (With air holes). This is next to a heater that I keep going most of the time. 12 seeds total were planted in this manner 4 ducks and 8 Berry’s. I also planted a seed of each strain in separate pots filled with seed raising mix. They were then put into empty fish ta…

one of my plants is ~3.5 weeks old and has four decent sets of leaves aswell as the intial 4 leaves and four more sets of growths out the top which look like they want to make up the 7th set. Aswell as this theres like 10 new smaller leaves coming out of each side of every point where a stem branches off main stem. this is my first time growing but this seems like alot of leaves. is this more than usual? (i've been using growrite if that matters) is this a good or bad thing?? my mate's mate who think he knows everything bout weed, says to chop off all the lower leaves any tips or pointers?? Pete

G'day peoples, Getting ready to put together a small bubbler set-up, (couple of tubs) in a fairly small space (1.2m X 0.5m). Been doing a bit of reading on the boards and it seems everyone has a reservoir & control bucket set-up. Is this purely for ease of maintenance with respect to topping up water and nute levels or does it serve another purpose? I'm new to bringing the garden indoors and am trying to keep it simple (Because (a) it's my first indoor gardening excursion and ( I have limited space). I am wondering if the res & control bucket are necessary. The how-to's i've seen around about constructing a bubbler would indicate they are independent unit…

can anyone point me to a good thread about bubbler buckets? i think i want to try this method. please threads with full on how to make them from start to finish cheers Mate's

Planted one seed in this pot, there was only one sprout for the last two days, checked them before I went to bed and there was only one. Checked them just then(12pm) and I have a second sprout in there. Do I have twins?

Does anyone know how to silence the drain running back into a resevoir? peace

A mate turned up yesterday for a couple of cones. I noticed he had a digital on the front seat. A deal was struck. This was Mum. She has been grown in soil & is three weeks into flower.

Just wanted to start a thread where people could post their best yield results and what type of setup they were using. Just follow my example below. Strain NL x Number of Plants 4 clones Size of Grow Space 3x3= 9ft Light 600 son-t stingray air cooled reflector Medium Rockwool flock with 3 cm of expanded clay balls above and below rockwoll Container Size 10 litres each Final Dried Weight 306 grams= 10.2 oz

hi guys, hope everyones well. few quick queries - i've got 4 25l round buckets (bout 2 foot hight) wondering if they'll be ok for dwc? the lids fit a 250mm net pot nicely, but are they too deep? in a shower recess roughly 3 foot sqaure 6-7 foot high, will one 600w sontagro hsp give sufficient light, and importantly will it burn my place down without ventilation? if so, any suggestions for venting it? lastly, i scored a load of expanded clay balls for free, will this gear be fine as a medium for dwc? i was just gonna fill the baskets with it? any suggestions for easy 1mix nutrients (dunno if the medium affects the nutes?) met a guy last nite who's harvesting abo…

Ok, my plants are now a week into 12/12. They're a good 2ft high, in a recirculating set-up. I have expanded clay in sattelite pots, and I have been root pruning, last time was about a day before I turned them. They are re-vegging from my last crop, so I knew the root system would have to be kept in check. I had 2 drench for scarid fly, so I had to do my tanks last night. Everything was fine before, draining properly. Changed the tanks, mucked around for a bit and then hit the net. Would have been maybe 1/2 an hour later, I went in to check on my other babies. I had a quick look on my way out to see if I could see any of those bloody fungus gnats moving around, and discov…
