General Cultivation Q&A

Alright ... I can see this question getting kinda huge and involved so I'll keep it as brief as possible. I'm a little dubious as to which method to sex plants with. From my research I know that there are the main 3 ways... observing preflowers, flowering clones, or flowering then revegging. Has anyone observed the preflower technique to work successfully? It sounds like quite easy but how reliable is it? Flowering clones seems to be the best method, but how long would this take? From what I've been reading, obviously you must wait until your plants are old enough to take cuttings from, then one must wait until the cuttings are rooted and then more waiting until the…

Hi there everyone. I've got the grow up and running again. Fucking rippers decided that outdoor growing was a no-no for me. But that's another story. Anyway, I have two bbxww ladies, planted outdoors in late feb, (hydro) which are looking very, very resinous. (YAY!) They aren't that big, and if I had to guess, I'd say they're about halfway through flowering. I've also got a couple of clones of another indica strain, (HFS) these were also taken around early jan and grown outside in perlite, they didn't get past 30cm! (not enough light). I want to re-veg all four of these plants, and then clone them off to get the best out of them. Now, I've removed the top 2/3 of …

i have 3 clones 12 days old in rockwool , been spraying them with 25% fert. 4 times a day.As the leaves are starting to yellow slightly i am wondering is it time to re-pot them, there are roots about half a inch long, if yes what medium, would 50/50 potting mix and perlite be ok. Advice appreciated,and thanks in advance.

Hello hows it going. Now at the moment i am germinating my seeds. I bought some potting mix today, 6 pots, and some blood n bone fertiliser. Now i was wondering after the 6 have germinated i place one in each pot. But do i fill the pot half up with potting mix then put the seed in sprout down then fill over it. How deep does the seed have to be ? Do i sprinkle a bit of blood n bone on each or mix it in ? How much water should i use in the seedling stages if i am using 2 high powered lights (Not sure what yet) in a closet ? Any help would be great thanks. Write back

ok im planning to build a stealth grow box in an old dresser so i guess the dimensions would be about 2fw x 2fd x 4fh. it will be set up for SCROG growing in soil. so here are the questions: 1)i was planning to have two 100w hps lights mounted on top with holes cut through for the light to cut back on heat, but after reading for a while on overgrow im starting to think about putting in some of those energy saving bulbs that screw into normal light sockets. Should i stick to hps or move to fluros? or a combination of both, and where should i have my fluros positioned for best effect? above or below the screen? 2)because i am growing from seed, not clones i am…

I dunno where to put this so mods if it isnt in the right spot please move it :-D Hello all last night i filled up my 10litre jug with rainwater and tested the PH it came to 6.3 which is perfect for me. So i thought great i am going to start using rain water. Well i woke up this morening and for some reason i decided to test the water again and it came to 7.8 OMFG. I though WOW! whats going on so i grabbed some ph7 calibration buffer and my meter is reading perfect. All i wanna know is has anyone ever had water fluctuate that much overnight? is this normall? is it possible that the plastic container is leeching acidity into my water? any help would be very gratefu…

I have a flood and drain setup in a closet with 400hps, I cannot find anywhere laymans terms on how to scrog, or sog, i know they involve nets or sea of green etc BUT how do you actually do this?? do you veg under the screen and then turn it to flower and as it grows through the screen bend it over so its above the screen and bent over????? or what?? how many plants of different strains can be grown together, can I sog different strains??? theres heaps of info on what scrog and sog are but nothing that tells me actually HOW to do it????
