General Cultivation Q&A

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 got 2 bilge pumps sitting around I wanna use. they outta a boat and I'm wondering if I can just put a plug on the end of the wires. they got two wires brown and black, I assume the brown wire is positive. this is what the label says. first mate bilge pump 12v dc max amp draw 1.5 use 2amp fuse. anyways, If I chuck a plug on this thing and turn it on am I gonna explode??

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 neuts.PSF

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
