General Cultivation Q&A

I know of one technique for speeding up maturation, which is: Decrease the on/off cycle to 6hours on and 12 hours off. The effect being that each four days you get five grow days. It may even be possible to reduce the off peiod to 10 hours and have a 16hour grow day. The only problem with this technique is that a much smaller and inferior crop would result. I would not recoment this method for fat juicy buds. But if you want to produce some seeded nugs, then this might be a good method to use. I don't know what the end result might be though, maybe scrawny little seeds similar to wild hemp? I hope not Does any one know other methods for speedung up maturation? And what…

anyone know anything about this?

Just wanting to know if the cold nute temps will do any damage?. Thanks.

hey ppls was thinkin bout it n was wonderin once the roots r down in the res do ya really need the pump? m

I need some help. I want to know what additives on the market really boost up your yeilds. By this i mean apart from your generally A+B nutes. The reason why i ask this is because the other day i went into my local shop wanting to buy some super bud I found out it was 150 buxs for 1L and i thort to myself...... Am i really gunna get a return on this 150 BUXS??? Then i continued to think the same about the other "additives/ enhancers" i currently have. IE CANNA PK 13/14 CANNAZYM. For the money you spend does this stuff pay dividends???? Now i know alot of you guys have expereince with alot of products..............The ones i would like to discuss in this …

Who flushes thier plants every 2 weeks roughly?? I thought you just flushed at the end before harvest, Do I just remove the nutes and cycly ph adjusted water though my system for 20 min?? what will this do for me?

hello all. I am 8 weeks into my current grow and my plants are doing fantastically well, this grow has made me appreciate CO2. As I'm growing in my laundry, there is a gas water heater and the results have been amazing, however my plants have an extremely strong odour about them and I fear it will only get worse when it comes time for them to flower. I have invested in an ioniser and this has had limited success, just curious as to techniques people use to stop the neighbours from enquiring about that fruity smell that comes from the room that glows. all suggestions would/will be much appreciated. Cheers Holyreality
