So as title suggests, got a few new strains up atm and about to take cuts and start sexing. Having a major brain fart, dunno if its too early or if im over thinking. So what do you guys do, flower the original seedling or take a cut and flower that? I see benefits of both and in the past i wasnt as tight for room and was alot more patient . Just playing around with a few new strains can be a fun and exciting time, but the work involved can be a pita! cheers, Kb.

First grow indoors in winter. What is the lowest temperature the plants can survive before I cry if they die. Whilst on veg cycle no problem with cold BUT now I have switched back to flower 12/12. It runs from 7am to 7pm and normally in winter I think I would flower overnight as it's in a tent but with a few visitors coming to stay for a night or two on this grow I've had to this time flower during the day. I still leave the internal circulating fan going all night as it is quiet but I can't run the intake and outakes due to noise factor. The lowest it has got to on the thermometer is 17 celcius, how low can it get to before I run the risk of it dieing, I realise a fros…

Hey Guys, Some might remember my failed outdoor grow from last year... This year I'm going to start again but I have a problem. I have a new partner she's cool with me smoking the bud but growing the bud she'd probably go mental like my previous housemates did. So my issue is I need ways to grow without her finding out, I can't do any crazy shit like an indoor grow in ceiling haha Any ideas?

Howdy Folks, I have been wading through the many pages of threads in this area before embarking on my first attempt at DWC and from what i have read i think my main issue is going to be keeping the temp down in my res, pretty hot up here in the summer. Then i had a brainwave (or not). I have an small old bar fridge in the shed that still works fine, now i have no idea if this would work but what would happen if i made sure the lining inside the fridge was not leaking and laid it on its back and put 20 - 30 cm of water in it and turned it on? Would this work as a res? it would have to be outside the tent but nothing a bit of plumbing couldn't fix, maybe running it into ano…

this one is a bit unusual, but I was hoping someone might know the plant that smells deliciously like skunk. Every now and then when driving through parts of the South East Queensland countryside where there is thickish rainforest-like growth near a swampy area or near a creek, I get a beautiful smell of skunky goodness. My first experience of this was on the old bruce hwy when going through Nambour. I think you can still smell it, if pulling off to go towards the big pineapple. I know it's a bit random, but I reckon if you lived near an area like this, you could grow the stinkiest strain and no-one would have a clue ... plus it smells great - at least to me.

Wonder if anyone can advise on growing outdoors on a city block. What stealth measures work? Maybe I'm just too paranoid to consider outdoors in the city?

Which additives in particular are responsible for the commercial crap going around down under? I'm new to hydroponics and want good stuff, which we all know doesn't always come down to lighting and genetics, nutes definitely play a big part in end product or else there wouldn't be such a large range available. I just want dense nugs without having to sacrifice resin production.

Howdy Folks, I was just wondering if anyone has had experience taking cuttings from mature plants? The reason being that i have 5 plants in a tent and they are about a month away from being finished and one of the plants i have been spraying with colloidal silver to get male flowers growing on the female plants, I have done this before and it works really well, the 2 branches i have been spraying have male flowers just starting to appear and if i leave it for too much longer i am going to have 5 plants covered in female seeds. My choices are remove the plant with the male flowers OR put pollination bags over the two branches (which i don't have atm) OR cut the two branche…

hi all. i have a seedling that has 3 cotyledons. 1 normal one and 2 that seem to be sort of fused together on the bottom half, but separated top half. i guess this shouldn't have much of an impact on the rest of the plants life?
