General Cultivation Q&A

After one sided debate with first time grower ever ,he was drunk after the fight ,I've decided to try and get a few more opinions on when they trim why they trim and what outcome you expect from your trimming also what effects you get after trimming so I will go first remembering all theories will be appreciated and probably no one is right or wrong basically we are all trying to achieve the same thing , Personally I never knew about supercropping etc until I got into indoors and learnt how to use google my number 1 aim is to get good quality smoko and maximise the harvest have always gone by the thought more stress more thc but certainly not to point of stressing so no g…

Hi Folks, Just wondering whether anyone has had any experience with the Hailea water chillers, specifically the HC-150A. Temps are about to rise here and am a bit concerned that i am not going to be able to keep the res temps down enough to finish this little grow off. What i am hoping you can tell me is just how much of a temp drop one of these chillers can accomplish. My res is about 150 liters and I can pick one up for $100 so will grab it it is going to help. Cheers Z

I'm wondering about the nature of S1 "selfed" seeds! or rather, the variation or stability they'll grow into. I'm assuming S1's don't result in identical-to-the-mother offspring, as nice as that might be, but rather something more along the lines of F2's? In particular, my friend fighting cancer who's CBD-hunting got some Thunderstruck by Sin City Seeds, which are S1's of the ACDC chemotype (24:1 CBD:THC) found in the Cannatonic strain by Resin Seeds, which seems to be the base for most high-CBD strains at the moment. Cannatonic's webpage basically states: 50% will grow into 1:1 CBD:THC 25% will grow into high CBD/low THC (but not always ACDC tho im not too sure how c…

Will humidity at 25 to 35% slow my plant grow drastically? I'm doing everything down to the t except awaiting on a humidifer and plants seem like they need one? Also I'm in my second week of vegging from nice size clones that had a good root system.

Started making myself a Dutch bucket system pretty happy so far just need a pump. Got new light coming this week these definitely aren't up to the job Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk

has anyone made their own buffering solution before to help keep hydro pH level stable for longer? couldn't find any threads here about it, or not with the word buffer in the title anyway, and would love to hear other peoples thoughts about making and applying such a solution I've been reading about them for the past few hours but it was only when I came across a comment in the following thread that an easy-to-follow recipe became apparent and within reach of regular joe me (chemistry isn't in my toolbelt): https://www.researchgate.net/post/How_can_I_prepare_a_potassium_phosphate_buffer_005M_and_pH_6 It's a long thread but here is the specific comment that caught my in…

Hey guys Week 4 veg and i have noticed what looks like rust (brown) on a couple of leafs any ideas on what it could be

Hey Guys, This is my first indoor grow with random seeds. 1 looks to be some sort of indica/sativa cross while the other seems to be showing more pure sativa charactiristics. Growing in a 1.2x1.2x2m tent, 6" adjustable fan for exhaust and passive intake. 3 x 4" oscillating fans to move air round. medium is coco and 600w HPS with digital(lucius maximus) ballast. The girls are now taking water daily in their 7th week of flower and seem to look healthy apart from the lack of light to the bottom(i know most people just cut these off but i prefer to let nature do its thing i guess). I likely could've gone bigger pot sizes but not seeing any real root binding so i think i…

Guys &gals, Have a stupid newbie question from stupid newbie grower, If after mixing normal nutrient regime + additives,only reading 270-290 ppms When measuring runoff,does'nt go over 540 ppms. Does this mean 1; nutes are'nt strong enough. 2; level of nutes in pots,salts hav'nt built up. 3; TDS meter belongs with rice cooker graveyard or 4; WTF or FIK. Much love my peeps
