General Cultivation Q&A

Here is a list of all the hydroponics stores/shops that I have found that may be of some use to other members on this website, they are in no particular order. Revesby, NSW Guilford, NSW Epping, NSW SA QLD & VIC WA VIC WA WA WA VIC VIC

I'm late getting my site ready and didn't get a compost pile ready. What should I do to fertilize my soil?

hey there. just wondering if anyones used a aircooled reflector thinking of getin 1 this week i've heard they can drop the temp by 8deg. is this right. and is it better to have 2 fans or will 1 do the job.600watt does it cut light intensety much also i have heard of these squirel blower fans where can i get them. and are they the same as the inline fans at the hydroshop. astrofoil is any one useing it is it any good and does it cut done the heat compared to other materials. thanks 4 ya help a donation is comming.

these have been in veg for too long to flower out as is.

An ideal way to get the Right Heat Temperature that HydroPonics (Cultivation of plants in nutrient solution rather than in soil) is to use a 200w glass heater set at bout 28degrees celius.I purchased mine from Grow Australia but id say it would be cheaper from a fish shop as its an aquarium heater.

I purchased this product and was told by staff that it would produce seeds on a female plant(artificial pollination) at $70 for 100ml i did give it a go and now wish i hadnt,i will never use this product again and it burned the buds applied on(was supposed to produce seeds when painted on the bud)and they had to be tossed,Another Lesson in Growing i suppose,

Waste of time and money talking to kids working in Hydro shops I want to put together a small 200 watt MH light for my clones and already have a HPS socket and lead All I wanted to know is if a MH bulb will screw into a HPS socket and if the three pin plug will suit the MH ballast. I wont need to buy the whole MH light kit if it does. Buddy

Hey, everyone this is my first msg , must say great site, take my hate off to the webmasters and members for their information. One of my main Q's I read an Article in HT - The High tech GRow America Section and it mentioned an "aussie" manufactuor of remote controlling the grow room,() from an undisclosed location( DOn't u luv i.T), i thinks it's in W.A, northen Territory perhaps, it cost about a G for the basice type, and G & a Half for the DElux model and it sort of looks like a 2 channel DJ mixer with various I/O slots. It's a really nice peice of Hardware... Has anyone had experince with these remote/terminal thingies? Any info on it would gladly be apprecia…

:angry: Do this, do that.............Do whatever the fuck ya want just make sure that whatever ya do ya learn from it. When I started I had all the fanciest ways and newest hot shit ideas and after a few seasons (constant indoor) when I thought I was starting to grow a better plant an old bloke, been growin reefer since he was a young fella showed me a plant that I couldn't belive, the chunkiest, dencest, branchiest plant I've ever seen. When I asked how he wandered over and with a crooked smile just grabbed the plant by one of its main branches and just bent the fucker ovar then repeated this to every strait branch. He (and I) reckons if yer not in any great rush and wa…

I would suggest the best way to learn about growing MJ is to start with some seeds in just standard potting mix(with has all the nutrients the plant will ever need)and just water regularly so that soil doesnt dry out 2 much,this is the best way to learn cause each day you will see new life on the plant and over time begin to see what a complex and Mystical plant MJ can be,My guru Dr Ed Rosenthal started this way. Dont attempt using ballasts and hydroponic equipment unless you realise the dangers associated with high output equipment,eg Ballast,reflector,HPS lamps. Peace
