General Cultivation Q&A

my plants have started to go into bud how long do i leave the buds to grow for the plants are purple haze

High there !! I'm planning on growing outdoors asap. I've got my seeds and was just wondering when the best month is to plant these little mongrels. I'm guessing early Spring. Thanks.

Hi all, I've just finished reading a book called 'Pot Planet', not a bad read at all. However, when the author hits Australia, he claims that the best weed is found in Nimbin. Which always seems to be the case when reading about Australia's pot scene. But ive been smoking for a few years too many now, and in my opinion the best weed is coming out of South Australia, presumably Adelaide. Ive been smoking produce thats travelled the "Northern route" for some time now. (all indoor), and every batch blows me away. Just wanna get some other peoples opinions? also be curious as to what strains theyre using down there as well. Been through god knows how many ounce bags an…

i have one plant 5 weeks old,grown from seed and is now 8inches tall, i hope its a female.Just like to know when to top or prune, during the veg or the flowering stage,and at what height should the mj. be.Will this also increase the yield? Your advice appreciated.

A while back I asked a guy about a nute meter, and he sold me a TDScan4. I've just started to use it now and it measures in mS, whatever that is, the instructions give no explanation. The range is noted from 0 to 19.90. My tap water comes out at 0.5mS and half strength Canna nute mix is coming out at 1.6mS. The instructions on the Canna bottle say to aim for between 1.8 & 2.7mS. This is fine, except most of the literature around talks in ppm, not mS. Does anyone know how they relate to each other?

I have a pump that does 38L/m and at the moment it is only bubbling one 20L bucket. Originally I crimped the spare output lines and the water was bubbling really violently, and I thought this may damage the roots, so I left an outlet blowing free which results in less bubbles in the bucket. The pic below shows the bubbles produced in each situation. Am I right to worry about bubbling too violently when my pump is only powering one or two buckets or am I worrying about nothing?

Hello oz growers I've just begun the process of sorting out what I need for my dwc grow... check out the attached image on how I am planning to set it up. It's VERY simple, but that's because there's not a greal deal to consider on such a small system... I do want to get it perfect however. I'll be using 5 gal (roughly 19L) buckets with 6" net pots... a typical setup really. The aim here is to grow 4 - 5 foot tall plants, I think these buckets should provide a great space for roots. As far as yield goes ... well, that's not really important to me, for a first grow I think I'd simply be happy for the plants to not die in the ass on me! Hmm what else? I'm still decid…

my clones have been in my "aero" cloner for about a week now, and only one of them has sprouted some roots. some have started to wilt, and I'm giving them tough love at this stage, hoping that no misting will make them root faster. anyway, what I am most concerned about is some sort of growth/buildup thats appearing on the lower stems. On some stems its white, on others it green. Somehow I think its not root bumps. below is a pic. Do I have a problem here?

Ok heres my other bubs....using superbud....what more can I say?

Sup ppls.. i was was reading around overgrow about seeding your clones to produce seeds.. the story is.. ive got clones of all my plants and im wishing to collect a few seeds off them if possable.. im not too worried about losing the cuttings all together but just lookin to produce seeds from them partiucular clones.. ive heard about switching lighting spectrums and bascily stressing females to produce female seeds.. could any1 go into depth with this.. ? im aware of the male pollon storys.. with the female plant buds being painted with male pollon to produce seeds.. but i have no pollon plus.. but i wish to keep this strains as is.. ive also heard about stressing …

I read on another site about a bloke who urinates in his nutrient every other day.....says it makes his plants grow faster. The chinese also used it to make gunpowder in the olden days, and inmates in cold third world prisons use it to heal chilblanes and other ailments. Anyone heard of other uses without mentioning "golden Showers"
