General Cultivation Q&A

So then i'm having trouble with some of my plants and im digging deep into the plethora of information on ph.... I use a funny mix which has always worked well for me and ive been keeping it at a ph of 6.0. I use ozi magic nutes along with this mix The mix consists of about 50% coco, 10% compost/worm castings etc, 25% perlite, 10% 5mm gravel & 5% river sand. With dolomite lime at 2tbsp/gallon. I tried just coco and perlite and it retained waaay too much moisture. So my question is what is the correct ph for a mix like this? Should i treat it like a hydro/coir medium or does the addition of a small amount of organic matter and some lime make it a "soil" mix? Al…

Was thinking of giving some autos a go once my photos are finished which will be around June. Just wondering how much they're affected by the time of year. I know that they will obviously be effected by the amount of sunlight they receive but will I still be able to achieve a decent grow if I were to start them around July? I'm in central QLD so winter is mild and daytime temperature still gets in the mid 20s. I grow outdoors and would grow them in a hydroponics setup in coco/perlite while I cover crop where I plant in the ground in prep for next season. I have never grown autos so any advice on growing or good strains for my region will be appreciated. Posted from the…

if your making compost teas with air stones it's possible to have living organisms in the stones which are hard to clean & you leave a cleaning product residue that takes lots of time & water to remove a air lift brewer or as Tim Wilson aka Microbe man calls them , the microbulator , is a better option in more ways than one they are much easier to clean , you can pull all the bits apart to do so , but by Tim Wilson's testing it seems a better air / environment for multiplying life than using air stones , the PVC pipe bits , bungee cord & hose , cost round $45 for 50mm , i used a PVC end cap & drilled a hole for the hose in that prob need to drop…

So ive made a bodgy 20L bucket aeroponic cloner with a pop up sprinker cost me about $50 seems to be doing what its supposed to. Just a query with guys in here that use this method for cloning, do you guys run 24/7 or is it better to go like 15mins on / 45 mins off or some other timing schedule.

Hi all! Got a question for the more experienced growers. Couple of weeks ago I re-built my grow-space, which took 48 hours. I have 2 plants which are roughly a month old, so only about halfway though my desired veg time. During the 48 hour rebuild period, I made sure the plants didn't get more than 12 hours of darkness, as I was planning a few more weeks of veg time. But apparently I failed, as both plants have now shown sex (1 male, 1 female). Obviously the male is getting cut today. My question is about the female. At this stage, it has the 2 white hairs showing in multiple areas. So its very early in flowering. Should I try and re-veg the plant, or am I better off …

I'm embarrassed to admit this but we are here to learn. I think I've been making a big...monumental mistake in my last 2 grows. In summary, I've used H&G A ONLY for veg and H&G B ONLY for when I switch to flower. I know this is wrong now... The guy at the hydro shop last year said that was the way to do it.... Did H&G do this in the past? Have A for veg and B for flower? MicMac, hoping you can chime in because I know you use the H&G coco line. Tell me that I've been doing things wrong and please explain the correct way, the way you do it. MLG
