General Cultivation Q&A

I’ve just got my first seeds and they are auto I’m looking for some good nutrients and some understanding of why certain nutrients is better than others I have quite a few questions because for me I like to be perfect for some reason. But I’m struggling to understand the ph levels in nutrients and how to know them ect My friend told me today that most hydros stores are just places to get supply’s to grow and they should have a rough idea of why I’m there without them actually saying anything abt growing this specific plant. Long story short I’m wondering on any places that r good to read up on to gather more info on how to have a steady grow and also best seasons…

I'm in FNQ - so we get very little difference between daylight hours in summer and winter. So little difference in fact that I have issues with outdoor grows. Any seeds purchased from seedbanks seem to go straight to flower resulting in plants under 1 foot with about 2/3 grams of dried bud - pretty much pointless. By using local bushbud seed I could get around the issue somewhat, but that just left me growing crappy weed that was half male most of the time. So for years I've been growing indoors in a little cupboard. LEDS were a godsend for me as it meant heat wasn't the issue it once was. For the last year I've been putting starting 2 seeds in soil in the cupboard ab…

g'day all seems like a few of us are trying out the blumat classic carrots - the ones that don't use a gravity or pressure system like the blumat trophs ... i think a few ozstoners might already be using them successfully. was thinking a thread about our experiences, suggestions or advice might be handy ... especially for blumat newbies like myself. ____________ in my situation... putting in two blumat classics XL into two 56 litre fabric pots - 4 in total. Pots are filled with about two-thirds to three-quarters of soil (LOS) and are about 45cm in diameter. each pot has about a 3cm mulch layer (mainly made up of sugar cane mulch and cannabis stems), as well as,…

Hey guys, So while I was at work today I asked my girlfriend to grab some potting mix and grab some mini greenhouse/seedling trays from Bunnings to plant some seeds I had soaking that just sprouted the tips of their tap roots. I told her to put them in the sun but when I got home I felt the plastic and realised the Gemini greenhouses and soil was quite hot and looked up online that you’re supposed to leave them in indirect sunlight [emoji2357]. They would’ve been outside in the sun for 6 or so hours, just wondering if anyone has an opinion on if the seeds will still be okay/stunted from the heat? I really hope not because they were some really cool strains and it took …

Hey everyone! Just curious to know what everyone does with the leaves/stalks? Do you throw them away, mulch them, turn it in to butter or oil? I’m hoping to take use of the whole plant so any advice would be appreciate and thoughts behind this :-) Thanks Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hope you guys can help out here. what happen if I put some autoflower feminized pollen on a feminized Hindu Kush plant. Would the seeds on the hindu kush have auto flower genes ?

Hey has anyone ordered seeds from this guy? I hear he got busted and he was selling hemp seeds the whole time. Anyone know if this is real or has used his seeds before? Cheers

Hey guys, So after germinating my seeds using the paper towel method I then placed them in to peat pellets and put them in the propagator. My initial plan was to keep them in there until they were ready to move outdoors. But I have noticed the root to slightly show itself from the bottom of the the peat pellet. I'm assuming a peat pellet is not a suitable size to keep these little guys in for a week or so? I haven't picked up my final growing medium yet, that was a job for Friday. Would I best utilising the rest of my spare peat pellets and place them in a solo cup along with my seedlings so they have more room and continue in the propagator, then transfer to my…

I have been growing in potting mix and clay balls and feeding them general hydro 3 part nutes and oz magic monsta bud and magic bud. I want to stop using all chemical nutes so im thinking about using a mix of blood and bone with potting mix over clay balls and feeding it with canna bio veg and bio flora with bat guano and monsta bud. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey guys, So after a last minute, unplanned, shambles of a first attempt grow last year I'm trying again this year but actually putting some thought in to it. Gonna be growing some Critical Purple autos outdoors. I've been looking into propagation grow lights and have read a couple of articles that say lighting at 6000-6500k works best. All the lighting kits I've found close to me have been full spectrum. So I thought, using one or two tri colour LED downlights and setting them to 6500k, fit them to a clear plastic storage tub and starting my little guys in there before moving them outdoors. This would be a far cheaper option than buying a kit from the hydro sho…
