General Cultivation Q&A

Do any of the more experienced growers have opinions on how vegging a plant too long can lengthen the time it takes to flower fully? Any experiences with this? Ta (Your plant's cannot 'see' green light. Try painting yourself green and see if they notice you - a good birthday party trick)

I've tried out Headrush (a proudly Australian product) a bioponic mix for this run. It all works well... res maintanence is way down and the ph is pretty stable. The manufacturer says to maintain ph at 6.8, but this seems a bit high for bloom. Has anyone else used it? I would think that even though the nutes are mainly organic (which run at a higher ph than normal) there would be a lower optimum ph for bloom as compared to grow cycles.

G'day dudes: my first post here!! I'm a small outdoor grower have been for the last 6 years. I'm interested to find out how your experiences with growing Aussie strains & overseas strains have turned out. Over the years I've grown: Yr 1: Aussie Sativas; Hydro Indicas Yr 2: Sativa Crosses of some type Yr 3: Crimson Wowie (a homegrown strain given to me by a friend) Yr 4: Skunk (from overseas) Yr 5: Bushfires Yr 6: This time I'm trialling 3 strains: -Coogee Red -BL -North Coast Bush I found that the Skunk, even though the smoko was totally mind-blowing, didn't take as well as the Aussie strains. It took a lot of extra effort to keep it healthy. Mostly me &am…

DO u think i can get this results. please help

Hi there Want to play the game again and am going to bring my old setup back online.. I just have a basic feed tray of 1.2m with a single 400w light..I have only done this once befor from seed and got about 13oz of premium gear.. I got lucky as i had 9 seeds and they happened to be very good Quality and all female aswell.. I was wondering if i should buy seed or clones from a seedbank.. If i bought seed how many would i want to put in the tray?(1.2mx1.2m) considering i will have males and femails this time.Should i go with clones? what sort of yeald would you expect from a setup of this size and what strain would you people recomend for someone like myself? If i bou…

Im all set up to do a SOG with DWC using expanded clay in 3" netpots but the more I read here, I find easier ways with less hassle like the run to waste method. Because Im using co2 Im wondering if this will deprive the roots of some oxygen that would normally come from airstones in the DWC method. Tom, your the man when it comes to run to waste....do you think that this system would be an advantage in terms of less hassle, less noise and healthier plants due to the nutrients being fresh at all times.

Sup guys im pushin into the 6th week and i added pk 13-14.. yesterday.. i was wondring when can i start flushing the system...? only about 5-10% of pistals r going brown.. for the moment.. and im not sure week wise when i should start.. and will i see sum crazy changes since ive added the buddin additive..?

I just bumped into an ooooooold mate of mine. To cut a long story short, we got talking about the 'old days' and he told me he is still growing, where I gave up a few years ago. I went to his place last night and was amazed, to say the least. He only has 4 plants, however his grow room measuring 5m x 5m is completely full of SOG. It was that full, I didn't believe he only had 4 plants. I got down on my stomach and checked the pots. Sure enough, 4 pots with 1 plant in each. He is growing in 500mm buckets, with one bucket sitting in another of the same size. The inside bucket has holes underneath for drainage into the outer bucket. The 'lip' of the buckets keeps the i…
