General Cultivation Q&A

Hi all, does anyone know stuff about what makes plants grow at certain altitudes - ie is it the mix of oxygen, or air pressure or temps or all these combined? Could you fake it in a growroom? For instance to grow Arabica coffee at a low altitude? Just wondering. But if you don't tell me I will hack all of your toilets via email and backup your systems!! Vazzack

I got this idea that I'm thinking of trying. put a rooted plant in a small 50cm net pot with clay balls in a bucket about 15L, or maybe smaller, or put a few of them sog style in the lid of a rubbermaid type container. Instead of having a bubbling solution you just periodic drip feed through the top of the netpot. The plant bucket is higher than the res, so the water drips through the roots that are just hanging in the bucket, the water then drains back to the res. the reason I thought of this is that I want a system that makes it quick and clean to root prune mums. With those little 50cm netpots from the hydro shops that are cone shaped it would be easy as anything…

Hey , has any 1 tryed Dutch Master one there 2 diffirant bottles 1 for grow , 1for bloom I am about to put to the test

Just bought a digital camera the other month so I thought i'd put it to some use. Here is my grow box, which I use for veging clones, mother plants and seedlings. I have got two mothers Haze Special, Golden Skush and some Early Durban, Afghani #1 seedlings in there at the moment. The box is 4' long 3' high and 1.3' deep it is on caster wheels so I can move it around. There are 4 36W 4' flouros providing the light, i use a combination of cool white and daylight tubes. There is 1 120mm inlet fan blowing 80cf/m in, while hot air is vented through piping out the bottom. Both the inlet and outlet are fitted with inbuilt light traps.

How do you guys flush at the end of your grow? I read 2 weeks straight water is best, but how do I know when to start the 2 weeks if i dont know how long the strain takes?? do i start when the trichromes go milky or still clear?? also I brought this stuff thats a flush, that is you add it a couple of days before the harvest and it apparently gives it a flavor in my case strawberry, but it takes ALL the nutrients out of the plant, anyone give me feedback on these flushes??

Hi all, been a while since I asked anything, and this has been wracking my little brain for a bit. I remeber WC saying something about experimenting with rootpruning bubbler plants, something a lot less stressful than the comparitive effect on a media based plant. I've had to thin out the canopy substantially on Bacchus, the bubbler plant, and about 1/3 of the total canopy and vegetation is now pruned away, with the major branches and buds turning to veg now. The rootmass, whilst large, still has some room to grow, but I was wondering whether a root prune at this stage would be a good idea, to allow for fresh root growth to come through, as well as getting rid of any …

I would like to hear from any growers who have had experience with companion growing, ie what did you use and your results. I have tried it for the first time using garlic with fantastic results. Drove the mites off for starters which was a bonus!! First time i have not had to use any sprays(natural of course) to kill the mites. Anyone please reply...

Ok growers, here is some info on companion planting. Seems like a lot of you dudes are having to use horrible chemicals like Mortein...yuk!! Here is a simple easy way to get rid of bugs naturally, especially mites: I have scanned it in as i couldn,t be shitted typing it out. The books are by Gorge Cervantes and Mel Frank. There will be a few forums with cervantes part 1 and two, and mel frank part 1.(couldn't get it all on one forum) Now this definately works and i can say that as i have tried it and i will always plant garlic with my mj from now on. I had mites and about 1,5 - 2 weeks later the mites dissappeared. A few points: If you have a lot of bugs well established…

Hiho everyone well here is what i was planning for my first grow and would like all the advice you can think of I have a storeroom in my garage that is about 1.5m by 2m and i think it was used for growing before as there is a hole in the roof for a ventilation fan and there are hooks all over the roof with 4 powerpoints in this little room. The room also has 4 removable bricks, and glue left on the wall from having something (im guessing a reflective surface as at the moment it's bricks) stuck to the wall. Anyway i just want to grow so i no longer have to pay for it and me and my housemate no longer have any supply worries. Because of this i only really want 2 plants…
