General Cultivation Q&A

Something I often overlooked when scrogging was the trimming of growth underneath the screen when I went into bloom. Lazy me. I used to end up with all the leaf and tips underneath the screen dying off and littering my floor. Then one grow I decided to be clean and trimmed off all the leaves and shoots that didn't make it through the screen. The result was a lot of space under the screen, with the bare branches growing through. Unknown to me I had opened up a whole new airflow to my roots and underside of my screen, and my plants grew about 20% larger. So, it's not just tidy, it gives ya more buds, and allow your girls to consentrate their growing above the screen w…

Hi all, I'm wondering weather i should tip or not. My grow space is 1m x 1m x 2+mh, This gives me a hight of 1200 room for growth, I have 5 plants under a 400hps. My plants are up around the 8 inch mark now. So, Should i tip these or just let them grow?. Roughly, How tall should i let them grow before turning to flower and using up my space?.

Hey all. I need some advice on the size of my pots.At the moment, I have 2 of my plants in pots which are 250 mm across the top, 190mm across the bottom and 225mm deep.They are only 2 weeks old today (from seed).I stared them in small seedling pots and a week ago, I transplanted them into these larger pots.Now, here`s my problem : I have just noticed some roots coming out the drainage holes at the bottom of the pots.Surely this means I have to get them in bigger pots ASAP - right? ....If so, what size pots should I put them into? I want them to grow as fast and as much as possible, obviously. I suspected that I may need to put them into larger pots at some stage…

Hey all, my house water is 7.2ph-7.8ph depending on the time of the day. I need to drop it so i went out and bought a digital pen to help me :-) and i was wondering what u would think of using Hydrocloric Acid to lower the Ph? I tested a bach of 10litres and it took like 4 drops to bring it to 6.3ph. Do u think it will hurt my plants?

Hey all, Do any people here think music is really beneficial to the plants? What kinds? I was thinking ... perhaps ... anything from chillout trance, to lounge, right up to some soft classical. Wouldn't play metal or anything fast like that, I think that'd make the plants wilt Has anyone got any solid experiences playing music for their crop?

O.K. gentlemen, I have a closet space that is 18 inches wide X 6 foot long X 8 foot high. I want to more or less use all of this space to grow. I had thought about soil because it sounds easier to me, but Tom might explain otherwise? I was wondering the following: Could I grow tall in such a narrow space? Sativa maybe? Could I grow both indica and sativa in that space? What light is recommended? I will sort out more later, I'm still planning, eh. But Basically, let me know what you all would do with that space. My budget would be around $500 (US) but less spent is always better! Go ahead, recommend an entire arrangement... save me some brain busting. So anyway, this spac…
