General Cultivation Q&A

I've been giving serious consideration to building a DWC system for the next indoor grow.... I've had a look around, and there are a few questions I wonder if anyone here can answer. Firstly, if all else is equal like light and temp, strain and so on, then is there any appreciable difference in yeild, potency or otherwise between growing with DWC and growing in a well managed, sterile medium (be it perlite, grow rocks, or anything else like that that goes in a pot...) with an airpump in the res? I mean, if the point of dwc is that you get more oxygen because the roots are in a highly oxygenated solution, wouldn't that also apply if you watered with a highly oxygenated…

I have decided to update my growroom ,i need to do a couple things.At the moment i have an excaust out that is on 24hours ( for about 3 years now) and one passive vent inair,and oscillating fan.I want to up grade the air thing,I want to buy a centrifugal fan and pull fresh air in and maybe upgrade the excaut fan too. Can someone tell me,how do i get on in winter when it might be 2c outside (shed) with that air coming in? And if you say turn it off what about air in? My room is too big and i am going to close everything in more so venterlation is very important to update. I have read different ideas on ..'Double air out as in' or is it? Double air in as out Thanks for an…

Hi, i heard you can get seeds from your buds if you leave them on your tree longer My questions are: 1) Does it have to be Hermie to produce seeds this method? 2) How much longer should i leave the buds.

Anyone know about multi-rooting systems, having 4 or 5 root systems for one plant. Seen one a coupla weeks ago, "AWESOME" ! Its where main stem goes threw about 4 or 5 rockwool cubes each one spaced and producing its own root system. (we all know about healthy roots etc.etc.) My mate got idea from old Easy Rider mag. (memories t-boat ), works a treat. Also on same plant/plants 4 inch rockwool cube on unwanted branch been scraped and root juice applied and secured with zippy clip with roots coming from bottom (ready to be lopped off for biggest clone you ever did see) :mellow: cheers, beers an cones Mozz

Here's the situation. I want to grow one plant to show the wife how nice it would be to grow our own. She's not too keen on growing our own right now, but I think if we grow one with some decent yield, she may change her tune. What is the best way to go about growing one plant? Where should I get seeds here in Australia? What's with the male/female plants? Which ones produce buds? Size of the container? Soil? Watering? Light? Anything else I need to know? Thanks for the assistance. This will be cool!

Hey all, I have a few 3 week old plants and the leaves on em are huge, stems nearly an inch thick already. The problem is that the new stems are growing straight UP right next to the centre stem and actually hitting the leaves above them, they won;t grow out cuz the leaves are blocking all the light. Do i cut the leaves that are blocking the view or will the new stems puch there way through?
