General Cultivation Q&A

Finally done a seed grow. Don't think I'll run out anytime soon. Tested a handfull (25) And have had 99% strike rate.

From what I've researched autoflowers like constant light through veg as they flower by age not light exposure and due to their fast-growing nature, they like having a constant light source -- even at night (happy to be corrected if I'm wrong). Have noticed her stretching a bit overnight when she's inside, I'm growing outdoor. I wanted to try to give her a bit of light to tide her over at night so she doesn't end up as a lanky mess. Thing is, this is my first grow and I haven't even scratched the surface with the basics let alone lighting. Did a brief read up to get SOMETHING while the weather is bad for the next few days as well as night time. Is this going to help or am…

Hey guys! A mate of mine handed me an interesting plant and said "grow this". Things have snowballed since then. I now have a 60x60x160 tent with a cheap and nasty ebay LED UFO and 4 CFL's around for supplemental lighting. I have a 200mm bathroom exhaust fan extracting warm air. Passive intake for now. Watering her every 2-3 days. Treated her with seasol's Powerfeed till the start of flowering (1ml/L every second watering). I've began treating her with 1ml/L Pro-PK and 2.5ml/L Canna Terra Flores (every second watering) for bud production. I have tested the soil pH (now that it's 12-12) before watering and after. Seems to stick around 5.5 - 7 which is ideal. She's at…

Hi all, First grow for me. The large plant is outdoor grow and the small plant is in a grow tent with 130w dual spectrum CFL (the large bulb from GrowLush). Not sure of what plants they are as a friend gave me a bag of seeds. Aussie bush variety no doubt... What do you think? Is it usual to have such a size difference between plants?

I am thinking about buying a new tent and am a bit overwhelmed by the choices. The tent i was using last winter was an unknown brand but worked very well, the main feature that it had that these new ones don't seem to is extra flaps of canvas around the zips to stop any light leakage. My last one had a straight zipper down the centre, not sure what i think about these semi circular zippers. I do like the fact that these tents have side access windows as i usually do SCROG and it gets a bit busy so being able to get at the back and sides seems like a great idea. Money is not really an issue. I was hoping that some of you folks might have an opinion on the ones i have added…

Hi guys, I hope everyone grows are going well! My first out door is going to be concluding fairly soon (I think). I've been growing outdoor in a small plastic greenhouse for privacy and I'm growing a strain called CBD hash which flowers in 7 weeks. I have a few questions at this later stage of the grow: 1). I'm not exactly sure how many weeks i've been flowering, but I'd say it's been 3-4 weeks or so? Is it normal for this many leaves to be yellowing at this stage? I know more energy is going to the buds and with a fairly short 7 week flower time maybe this happens more rapidly? I have upped my feeding in the past few weeks also... Previously I didn't feed the plants …

Hey guys im growing in coco and perlite What conversion do I use to convert ppm to ec?? Im a little bit confused now as im seeing different methods and charts . My understanding is 1000ppm is 2.0 ec Is this correct Cheers guys Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I live in SE QLD, suns really strong here. What is the best way to germinate a seed for outdoor growing. I wanna buy seeds but at $10 or so a pop, I need the best way to get it started.

So today I noticed one of my plants looked a little different. It’s node seperartion is much greater than my other plants that are a lot tighter and bushier. It has just started flowering and there is the usual calyx’s with white hairs protruding but also seed pods with no hairs. I’ll attach a few pics. This is only my 4th grow so I am still learning but this looks very different. I did have abit of light interruption a couple of weeks ago with visitors staying at my house and not being able to run my tent the entire time. This was for a few days. Thanks very much for any help given

Does anyone know of varieties that will do well in in cool/cold weather? I do have a hydro setup in a weatherboard out building that is lined with plywood but here in the TAS winter the room gets very cold even during veg with the lights on(6am -12pm). I had an oil filled heater running 24/7 in there but even so temps consistently got to 8c-11c overnight and anywhere from 12c-16c of a day. I tried growing 2 varieties I had previously grown during the summer (the Church & The Doctor) but they were extremely slow growing and suffered terribly with magnesium deficiency which the horticulturalist at the grow shop said was due to the low temps impairing/preventing the …

Having some issues with my older plants with curling leaves and brown tips and one that took alot longer to bud but is now getting skinny leaves that point down and seems that some of the lower flowers are yellowing which I possibly put down to cal/mag deficiency?? . You will see in the photos, they are all auto fem and auto flowers cheers.
