General Cultivation Q&A

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

This technique was developed In Holland,where growers have cold climates all yr round and often live in small confined apartment buildings and dont have the space like in a big country such as Australia or the USA,they developed a way of growing small compact(bushy) plants that can be grown in a high dense manner,eg placed less than 8 cm apart from each other and the result speaks for itself a SEA OF GREEN!

Hi peoples! I love to make my own soil, a well prepaired compost is impossible to beat if you're going to use soil. But in recent years, my health has declined so much, that I can't do it anymore. So I have to buy soil in bags. It seems that most are crap. There's one product I know of called "Searles 5 in 1" that is extremely concentrated. Excellent to add into other mixes of soil to increase the overall potency of the soil. But that still requires bending, hauling heavy bags and mixing heavy soils. I'm not joking about being incapacitated, so does anyone know of a good bagged soil that is ready to go? I live in Qld, it seems that the bagged soils vary from st…

Fat Leaves and Short Bush = INDICA Thin Leaves and Tall Bush = SATIVA Sativas are just about the opposite of Indicas. They are tall, thin plants, with much narrower leaves and grow a lighter green in color. They grow very quickly and can reach heights of 20 feet in a single season. They originally come from Colombia, Mexico, Thailand and Southeast Asia. Once flowering has begun, they can take anywhere from 10 to 16 weeks to fully mature. Flavors range from earthy to sweet and fruity. Sativa's higher THC than CBD equals cerebral, soaring type of high, more energetic which can stimulate brain activity and may produce hallucinations. Sativa plants are taller, take longe…

NEGATIVE ION GENERATORS Negative ions are oxygen molecules which have been loaded with an extra electron. They float in the air and when they encounter a positively charged molecule (which is missing an electron) the electron jumps, neutralizing both molecules. Positively charged particles include dust, bacteria, fungal spores and odor molecules. Eliminating these air- borne particles and causing them to precipitate is helpful to the growing environment. According to studies performed during the 1970s, both animals and plants performed better in a negative ion rich environment. Negative ion generators use a miniscu…
