General Cultivation Q&A

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…

i have a compost pile thats full of worms and has been there ever since we moved in (3 years ago) and have no idea how many years it's been there so is prolly full of worm castings. it is in the garden bed, it has 3 walls and no roof/lid so my question is could there be nasty bugs in this compost and if so what is the best way to get rid of them so i can use the compost ? thnx

Hey everyone Just read THIS THREAD. It brings up some VERY good points about how good flushing .really. is.... Everyone knows hydro reacts alot quicker so can starving it of food for 2 weeks really be that good? How would we feel with no food for 2 weeks.... Has anyone used that Ozi tonic stuff... ment to be for flushing your plants... Im thinking about getting some. Has anyone used MonsterBud by the same company its a flower additive you add it around the 5th week i think so i guess its like PK 13:14 Has anyone tried flushing for just 5 days or so? If hydro reacts so quick 5 days should be heaps. Cheers

this is what i got: dutch master max (vegetive boost) , dutchmaster potash + and monster bud ... i wanted to get the super bud as i have seen the results on the net on the overgrow forums but it's aud$150 (normally aud$160 - aud$170) i will prolly go for super bud when i get low on the monster bud if budget permits

OK here we are guys the bagseed has been flushing fo0r 2 weeks now.. She coulda gone a little longer but the trics are just starting to turn amber. Heres a couple pics.... The affi and the rest of the g13 will be coming down during the next week Stay Tuned P.S She wieghed in at 145 grams wet.... So i hope for 1-2 ounces.......

Tell us everything you do with regards to nutes for your grow. What brand you use, what concentrations, do you mix to a formula or moniter with a meter, do you use bud additives or foliar sprays, do you use a heater, how often you mix a fresh batch, how you flush, what kind of system you use them in. basically, everything you do in relation to NUTES! hoping to get a good database of information here so I can link to this thread from the FAQ.

Any of you guys grown silver pearl? I'm thinking of the Sensi strain. Cheers Silver Vaz

Hey all! Yep, I've been absent for over a week now, getting the grow together with Majestic. Haven't had time to come online at all Now. 4 out of 5 seeds germed (paper towel method), yay! 2 days later they were all germed, put under 2x18w cool whites in a misting chamber, and poked up out of the rockwool another 2 days later on Sunday. Today being Thursday, the bubbies are between 3-4 inches tall, and are going strong The little round leaflets are still present, I'm expecting them to drop off soon as the 3rd and 4th pointy leaves are only just starting to come through. Does this sound right? I hope we haven't got it wrong here Just a reminder, Majestic and I are …

hey ppls ive heard for a more ceribal high you havest abit early any know bout how early thanks mem

Apparently zeolite is a naturally occuring mineral that just so happens to absorb moisture and odours wherever it is a present. A small amount is supposedly enough to rival carbon filtering. It is most commonly used in the grow room suspended in an ideal position in a mesh bag. Every now and then the mesh bag is 'recharged' in the sun to restore it to it's full absorbant state. This is what I have read about zeolite. Not much else is known, and even the omnipotent overgrow fails to provide answers in the form of decent testemonials. This is the only place I have been able to find Zeolite for sale. Does anyone have experience using this stuff?
