General Cultivation Q&A

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"

is there a PROVEN WAY of keeping a Mary J PLANT to survive through winter so it can boot off again when spring comes.as winter is on us now i need to know the best way to keep it alive.

One of the nice things about vapourisers is that you don't need to cure flowers before you can use them. Lately I've been taking a few flowers from some SPC Thai I'm growing outdoors and finding seeds within them. More precisely ONE seed per bud. What's going on here ? I thought that there needed to me males/pollen around for seeds to develop. Are these seeds the blueprint that will be duplicated when the pollen appears or is it some quirk of the plant. All plants are female (no hermies either). I'm curious to know if these seeds are useable or are, I don't know, unfertislised or something. Any experts out there? Many thanks.

i've been growing outdoors for a while now and have a fair idea of whats going on etc. I'm about to embark on my great journy indoors soon and was wondering from other peoples encounters which they find works out better, indoor soil with controlled nute feeding system or a full blown hydro setup ? just concerned about the upfront effort & time taken for the initial setup and result as i want to use my outdoor plants for clones for my first grow. Just curious as to thoughts and opinions.....
