General Cultivation Q&A

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…

I have a single plant that I grew in a cupboard for a long time it grew slow because of bad lighting. I decided to just turn it by putting it outside, it’s Now producing buds but still very slow, I think all of this has made it turn hermie as I can see seed pods developing, the buds are still not fully mature yet, should I let it keep growing or pull it now, what would be the best way to still get the most out of it. Thanks

First off let me introduce myself, based in Nsw and never properly had a good big harvest but learning a lot from all of you, I’ve been using this app for about six months without posting anything but in my last grow I’ve had nutrient issues and pest issues that was cleared up by some pablos answers in other threads, I have looked for answers to my questions in other threads couldnt find shit, I grew early in a small pot and got a female to flower only a little girl but crossed her with some seed I paid stupid money for from a Seedbank (MiLF auto or some bullshit) anyway I collected heaps of seeds off the girl but none of them are germinating! I tried with about 30 I usua…

Hey everyone! This is my first grow and I’m really struggling. I have a 80x80x160 grow tent. Hlg 260. 4 inch outake and intake fan Oscillating fan The temp is between 25 - 30 and the humidity is around 50% What have I done wrong and what is happening to my plants?

Not sure if this is the right place to ask but is Dinkum Seeds a trusty source for seeds?

looks good & they claim to ship to the AU anyone had any exp? and how hard is it to get seeds from the US into AU https://bankofseeds.com/ thanks!

It's been cloudy and raining quite frequently around here lately and my plants are on an inch or two tall, still only got their first two leaves and about to drop their cotyledons. They seem to be growing slower than normal though. The sun will eventually come out regularly and it will hot as f**k but what I've decided to do is buy a couple of 130W CFLs and cupboard them with reflective film during the dark hours and put them on the balcony in the sun during the day. I reckon with some LST I could get away with this for around 2 months, maybe a bit longer. By then it will be the start of Summer and we all know how hot it gets by then. Are there any downsides to this…

Hey Everyone, New member here, but already finding the Australian-focused discussion so great amongst a sea of largely US-based websites. Next week I am beginning my first grow. I have experience growing other flowers, and I am enjoying reading and learning a lot. My plan is to put two 600 Watt LED panels (I am confident in my choice; I understand the HPS system, but it won't work for me in terms of initial cost, upgrading is an option down the road) in a 1.5 x 1.5 x 2.0 tent. From what I can ascertain the panels will cool themselves sufficiently, especially with winter in my area. 4" exhaust fan pulling air through a carbon filter, then venting into the room, which i…

Stupid question but does the bottom of your pot need to be higher than the top of your waste catchment container? So with my pots on foam blocks the drain hole is still slightly lower than the top of my drain catchment, I'm assuming the pots will not drain if this is the case correct? I'm thinking I Might Have to put some holes in the side of the container to put the hoses through so its lower.

Has anyone seen or heard of these lights im thinking they might be fakes, just doesn't seem legit. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/QUANTUM-LED-GROW-LIGHT-V2-ULTRA-LM301B-3000K-240w-TRUE-POWER-BOARD-QB288/264431953374?hash=item3d915f65de:g:yBAAAOSwb6FfWga0

Hey im curious to how you would position 3 plants for a scrog in a 5 x 5 tent? I was going to do 4 wich would have been easy set them up in a square, but one of the clones didn't make the trip home so now im going to do 3. I feel if I did a triangle the side with only 1 plant would fill the screen evenly
