General Cultivation Q&A

Here`s a pic. of a Skunk#1 .The plant is just over 4 weeks old from seed.It`s growing in Cocopeat.Using a 400W Son T Agrp Lamp.Temperature stays between 20 - 28 degrees celicius.Humidity is between 50-75. I thought I`d tie down a few branches to help the light reach the lower areas. Let me know what you think ? Is it a reasonable size for it`s age , do you think? (It`s about 2 foot tall -from the medium) The colour of the plant is much healthier than it appears in the pic.

here is a pic of some Malawi Gold babies coming up. Just in soil in cups with holes drilled in bottom. I was gonna pull them after they had 2 or 3 nodes, wash the soil off the roots and wack them in bubblers. But maybe I'd be better off transpanting them into say 150mm pots of soil, flowering clones and from that picking which one to keep. transplanting from soil to bubbler seems a bit risky to me. also, how long do you think they could go in those cups before I need to tranplant them, just until they show signs of not doing well?

Hey all, A few members have been hassling for this info....sorry its not so indepth for pics etc but rushed for time.... Anyhow what you will need 20-100litre tub/tank water heater (size to suit) Air pump/stone water pump (600 ltr/hour rio type) length of garden hose and attachment length of 1"pvc pipe (size to suit) 1 or 2 1" hose clamps Fill tub with required amount of water (60-75% of volume recommended) side walls of tub may need some supports or straps to stop distortion of tubs due to temp changes... Add air stone, air/water pump and heater to water... (2L of boiling water per 10L to speed up warming process) heater may need to be mouted off …

Hey all all of my plants have shown preflower now and their all females out of 8 plants every last one isn't this strange to have such an abundance of females from one grow and no males.Who knows mabye I'm just trippin anyway just a thought.

Few pics of my first grow after first week of 400hps after 30w fluro, it is now in week four or so but been too busy to take pics, just throwing them some water and nutes every now and then

hey ppls just wondering if anyone would know if its better to use rain or tapwater witth canna nutes thanks

Sup ppls.. ive been readin around.. and i noticed alot of ppls Ph there systems.. i myself have never used one and thinking about purchasing one... what kinds r out there..? and whats the usual prices..? what levels is perfect for ganja cultivation.. cheers Ele

G'day all,this is the weirdest thing.I woke up this morning and I noticed two little white hairs coming out of where the stem meets the branches(nodes I think thier called)but the thing is absolutely have these plants under 24 hrs of light this is impossible isnt it?anyway their two white v shaped thingies with little hairs on them they are pistils aren't they and if so what the fuck's goin on oh yeah the plants are like 15cm tall only just in veg stage

Hey guys Just been reading up on the latest posts and one got me thinking. How much does a (typical) plant smell while in veg stage (sativas smell more then indicas?), if anyone could be kind enough to let me know which strains are smelly buggers while in veg stage, it'll help me be prepared for em'. I have these experimental-bagseed's that are round 3.5weeks and Im not smelling anything yet, zilch...which is great...in a convenience-sorta-way. Being a newbie and Im just curious if the better strains/seeds will end up smelling at all throughout veg stage. (ATM these things only give off a pine smell when u lightly rub a leaf and some are darken then others, but s…

Finally I have some pictures of my first grow! I got 2 Ak99's and a Big Bud. I did have a Misty but she had a accident My biggest AK99 has moved to my mates backyard as I have ran out of room and money All clones from SPC... Thanks StondedAs First my biggest AK99

Hi all, just wondering if those of you using drip emitters could advise me on drip emitters? What kinds are there, and what are the best to use? I'm growing in growool, so any tips on the best types of drippers or even what's the worst would be greatly appreciated.... I've heard of "self-cleaning" drippers, what the heck is that? Anyway, I'll look forward to ensuing discussion on the relative merits of the pro and anti dripper growers, (I know it will turn to that eventually, :: ) and hopefully we can stay on subject long enough to get an answer here.... Just joshin.... Talk to you all soon!

I am intersted to hear peoples different theorys on watering times for my specific system, recirculating bucket. Capacity is 15litres and the 2 buckets (30litres) flow 1litre in 45sec. any ideas :-) Thanx Heaps nimer

hi guys Im curious as to how hard it is to keep mothers around for continuing cloning (indoors). I gather that it depends on the strain and so on.. Just wonna get a basic idea of how big they must be before you decide to isolate her, what light intensity they need, and any other basic principles. (eg.nutes). Are most mum's a pain in the arse or not fussy plants that keep producing clone after clone ? Cheers Lok

ok guys I have been told by a few people that if you are growing in Perlite only that you should use a PH of around 5.2 but I used this PH and the plants would not grow too much at all I am thinking that I should go back to a ph of 5.8 or so...... what do you guys think??

Hi Guys, Im tossing up whether to go for a run to waste system or a recirculating one. What are the pro's and con's of each system, also what differs between how the systems are run ( feeding, flushing, testing etc...) Thanks
