General Cultivation Q&A

Hi guys, I'm planning my first indoor grow and I was wondering, what soil/potting mix do you guys use?, I'm looking for relatively simple/cheap pre-made soil mixes. The easiest option for me is to go to bunnings and get the Searles Premium potting mix and chuck some perlite in it, but I've heard that slow-release fertilisers aren't good for growing cannabis. After searching around a bit, I found someone on eBay that sells Terra Professional potting mix which I've heard is pretty good. Should I go with this mix and perlite? For ferts, I'm deciding between Canna Terra Vega/Flores(a bit pricey: $56) and seasol/powerfeed for veg, potash for flower. What do you guys think …

Hi everyone, I'm new. I've read lately that the carbonated mineral water makes the seeds germinate faster. Is the carbonated mineral water normal water that simply has air bubbles or does it have some other component? Does the fact that the seeds supposedly germinate faster in its onset produces some other benefit in the flowering stage? One of the reasons that made me enter this forum and ask you this is because of this video: Https://youtu.be/zSwsW6lmoyQ A greeting!

I see lots of kits with lights etc all in one kits. Can anyone make a recommendation on the best kit to use or alternatively making up a kit from scratch going to be better? Thanks Sent from my SM-N920I using OZ Stoners mobile app

My first grow I gave my friends some serious leaf burn using PK 13 14, even though I followed all the directions. After reading 200 topics in a night(lucky it was a weekend) on other forums I straight flushed them with 20l of water each over two days and stopped it. Phew lesson learnt. Obviously after the last episode and then reading ship loads I think I've come up with a few things I like opinions on. 1.(Beginner)You only need 1/2 the recommend dose off the bottle and when you use it you should halve all your other nutrients.A+B and Supplements ****I still got a little leaf burn, half of last time and I didn't flush and it stopped where it was. Happy with that. Opini…

Hi guys. Fimmed this plant a few days ago. Seems to be growing a bit uneven but growing. The lighter green color seems to have intensified since. In 290mm pot in tent under 315w cmh 3000k.
