General Cultivation Q&A

hi all, ive been reading up on growing indoors and planning my first grow.got my head wrapped around most of the process but there's a couple of things im still unsure of, so some questions are... #1. ventilation: i have a 6 inch can max fan for my 1mX1mX2m tent, i assume its not needed for small plants but when do i actually need to start running this? (this first grow will be running 600w led and cfl side lighting) i have other circulating fans as well and i understand air movement is a key factor just unsure when to run the larger fan. #2. watering and nutes (coco-perlite run 2 waste) : i have read a lot of people don't feed nutes until 2 or 3 weeks in, but others hav…

Is anyone else around here keen for a separate Organic forum? Personally I feel and know its the cleanest and most efficient and sustainable way of growing our favorite plant yet we don't have a forum specific to it. I'm not sure how many of you are on other MJ forums such as Grasscity and Rollitup but both of these have Organic forums that are more than active. And even still it gives others a place to put useful stickies and so forth. So I ask the moderators and users, please, we need to promote this healthy sustainable method of growing, so why not get its own forum going? Scraps

Stoners, 3 weeks out from harvest and im stating to get worried about the weight of my buds. Whilst the buds look big enough albeit with an amount of foxtailing I'm getting concerned that the weight is not accumulating 30% perlite and coco mix Nutes: Canna coco but using BAC bud boost in lieu of canna boost Has anyone out there got any idea how in crease the weight?

im currently using the round ball air stones and they tend to move around alot in the bottom of the pot...looking for a alternative airstone for DWC, whats the best options to go for? i am and plan to keep running for air stones on a 10 valve high pressure air pump, so i have plenty of air, just want to know whats the best air solution for DWC these days? cheers medicalgrower

Omg! I'm so broke! So I had some mars lights and a hydro grow unit, and a tent. I had some nutrients, but not much and no $$ to get more. And a handful of feminised photo seeds and some auto seeds. But I'm broke so I can't even pay elect. Given all this, I decided to have a go. Week 1 - no nutrients, lights 16/8. Week 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 - full nutrients. Week 4 I got paranoid about light pollution so cut lights back to 12/12. Didn't change the nutrients for this 6weeks. Weeks 8, 9, 10 - changed nutes and left lights on 12/12. In week 8, one of my photos turned, so I pulled it. I hope it doesn't affect things too much. No fans or extractors, just 2 small windows.…

Just a couple more pics,progress is happening after 3weeks of rain and bad weather,everything is bulking up nicely and the smells are amazing,I love this time of year I actually miss my daily gardening routine once harvest is done and dusted but its also a huge sigh of relief and a massive weight lifted of your shoulders as know you have completed another grow from start to finish

Hi everyone ! First of all I am Newbie on this forum as well as newbie grower! Happy to be part of the gang ! I am creating this topic after days and days of reading threads, articles ect but couldn't not find any related to that topic on this forum. ( If I missed something I am sorry in advance and would love to be redirected. All of the found informations all contradict each other and I could never find a definite helpful answer so hope to be able to narrow it down over here. Here is the scenario of my very first grow following this tutorial ( happy to follow this Thread up with a journal : http://www.growersguidetocannabis.com/10-top-tips-for-autoflowering-plants-…

Hey - I'm sorry I haven't worked out how /where to post this question, so I've had to stick it here! OK...Has anyone used the alternative CO2 systems for a grow tent? I have two tents; 1.2 x 1.2. &. 1.95 x 1.95. I'm looking at the CO2 Pads, MyCO2 boxes, the bottles & their refills and whatever else. I'm trying to avoid having to do the old style gas canisters & regulators. Is it possible to use an alternative or are they not effective enough? I'd LOVE to hear about any experiences with them!!
