General Cultivation Q&A

OK is this stuff possible to clean? i have just spent 30min cleaning one buckets worth of the stuff and i put it in my pot hooked everything up and after 10min the resi was dirty AGAIN!!! and had sedient in the bottom. Should i keep going or should i just not worry about it?

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????

G'day all I just noticed a small coincidence the plant with the deformed leaves I have seems to be the only plant that the lower leaves aren't dying on there all in the same potting mix,same water,same everything anyone know why the lower leaves are dyin on 3 but not the deformed one?

On ebay theres this item called quantumponics, anyone tried this or know anything on it??? they sound like a good idea,

Hi Guys, Im still reading up before my first grow, been learning for a few weeks now. Im still undecided about the method I will use. I want one that does not require too much maintenance and thought the bubbler garden looked OK. Does anyone use bubbler buckets and how good do they work? Thanks heaps

Elefunk just PM'd me this link to a hydro shop in NSW, I phoned them and ordered two Son-T-Agro at $32 each plus $7 postage and $6.40 for insurance (10% of value), all up that comes to $77.40, I was going to make a trip to the shop to buy two new ones next week, at $56 each.

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?. Any help/Advice much appreciated, Thanks heaps. Paranoid.

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…
