General Cultivation Q&A

Hey guys, I was peeking at some OG posts and came across this nutrient that is supposed to be excellent. I checked it out on the webpage given and was surprised to see it came from oz woohoo! http://www.geocities.com/sanmateopropagati...ntsystemweb.htm it's got some pretty detailed info which is mumbo jumbo to me hehhe, maybe you guys can check it out and let us know what may make it so special. Cheers

Hey hows it going. Well i can spend up to $500 AUD dollars or so... Well i am looking for something which will include the following. Main lighting area with HID lighting up to 1000 watts.. Mylar or reflective film on all the sides and roof to produce more light. 3 Or More plants growing under the 1 light. Automatic watering system so i dont have to water as much only water when its needed. What do you think is the best watering system drip, ebb, flow or any others ? Or should i go a NFT system ?? A Water timer and checker,PH checker (Any other checkers ?) Medium either Rockwool or Cocco Canna Grow space will probaly be about 3-4 ft in width by 6ft or so. On the …

Hey just wondering what medium should i use for a tub bubbler setup ? Rockwool,Clay balls etc ? What do you think ?

Ok I had a look through the older forums and could only find scarce reference to dwc setups....this idea was floated to me recently and I am keen to know more.... anyone care to elaborate?

I have always been of the opinion that Ganja grew in the summer and flowered in the winter , therefore making impossible to start a crop in winter time. However I hve met a couple of growers who grow in both winter and summer. These guys asked me if I wanted to put some seeds in and I accepted. My question to you guys is how exactly does a winter crop work? Surely the plant will flower in the winter? Do I need a special winter seed? What size heads will I get? Please disscuss.......

I have turned my plants to 13/11 and when i got up to look this morning I found 1 of the plants had water coming out of the leaves, it was in drops waiting to fall, where the hell does this thing get the water from and why is it doing it anyways??

I have some small plants about 20cm tall, how old or how big until i should start adding ferts etc? thanks

hi ill try this doh sorry didnt work

Hey all the grow has been going for prob 3 weeks now but just tonight i got my camera :-) so i though i might share a bit with you all :-) Unfortunetly i am very tired and havnt figuerd out how to scale down the pics my only two choices are 50k pictures and 1.4mb pictures DO any of you out there know of a freeware programe that i can scale down Jpegs with? First pic the outside of the growroom DSC00018.JPE

G'day, I got a dwc setup, 5 20ltr buckets... I got a submersible pump but I don't like it... it's a RIO 180. The reson I don't like it is because it's submersible and doesn't have two hose connectors, the other reason is because it doesn't pump quickly enough. What I was wondering was what are the best water pumps that aren't submersible and have two hose connectors? This pump will be used to pump nutes from a very large res into the buckets.. and when the buckets are to be drained, from the buckets to a drain in the bathroom..

Hi there all. Hope you all enjoy the long weekend! Well, it's decided. The next grow will be a combination sog/scrog, six plants in two 70mm high, 100mm wide and 700mm long growool slabs, sitting on top of a base layer of expanded clay in NFT channels, modified slightly for the purpose. Now, I've had good results with growool as a media, I just used normal nutrients and didn't come across any problems which weren't attributable to myself. But I recently saw, (I can't remember where tho) that using growool slabs can require a substantially different nutrient mix? Has anyone else heard of this? And if so, what brands are touted as being "growool specific"? I'm fai…
