Well as the title and description says. Any ideas why this happens? For as long as i can remember this always happens to me. I get 5 or 6 buds grow out of the top of the main colas. Its like it goes into a sort of stretch stage. Where it then has to fill out again. Sorry about the bad quality pic doesnt show much. Here is a pick of my last grow you can see the buds growing out of the main cola head. Not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing. as long as i let the buds "fill out" it is ussually ok i think. Any suggestions why it does this ? Cheers Buddy.g

How do you keep your airstones at the bottom of your bubblers and reservoirs, and stop them floating to the surface? Is there anything toxic in plywood (the glue maybe?) or is it okay to use, in the nutrient solution, to hold the airstones down? All replies appreciated! P.S. like my new Avatar?! Cugel.

I planted my seeds (after leaving in damp tissue over night) about a quarter of an inch under the soil and as the light(250watt hps) was only about 6 or 7 inches above the soil it dried out the top layer of soil after 18hours of lights on and when i watered them to make moist again the water pushes the dry soil off a bit each time so that eventually the seed was very close to the top.Well yesterday i raised the light about another 3 inches higher and went to put the seed a little deeper in the soil but it had sprouted and i had the light on and the root got about 4 seconds of intence light before i coverd it up again. Is this going to be ok?Or would i have shocked it?Al…

G'day, Quick question.. when taking clones to sex, can you put the cuttings straight under 12/12 while they grow roots to sex as soon as possible? Or do they need to be under 24 hour light until they root, then 12/12 them till they show their sex? Because immediate 12/12 would have them showing sex in around 2 weeks, whereas waiting until they root and then sexing could take around a month.. but if they need 24 hour light to survive then I guess I have no choice And am I right in thinking you should wait until the plant has 5 nodes before taking cuttings? Or can you do it earlier? I want to determine sex with clones as early as possible... Cheers!

Do my fans need to be on or off while the dark period is on?I ask this as i have a growbox in my shed that is powered by a extention cord coming from the house into the shed that is connected to a powerboard on top of my growbox that has two fans and a ballast with 250watt light connected to it.I have a timer pluged into the power point in the house then the extention cord pluged into that.So obviously when the timer goes off so do the fans.I think that makes sence,sry have had a fair few bourbons.I cant have anymore than one extention cord going to the shed as this would look very suss.I have my light and fans on for 14on10off.My seeds have been in the soil for 2 days.

These White Widow girls are about 9 weeks into flower. I had a problem with a cheap timer 2 weeks ago, it was staying on 24hrs during the flowering time for i think 4 -5 days before i picked up the problem. I think my girls started to go back to the growth stage. The heads are thick and solid and a good size, but there is no christaliation and not much of the sweet smell.. Even after handling my fingers are barely sticky or sweet smelling. About 30-40% of the pistols have turned amber color, still not a lot of smell and no christals at all. please help..

G'day all, I recently purchased a Bluelab EC truncheon and a small test tube liquid pH kit (can't afford a digital one yet) and tested my tap water after letting it sit for a few days. The EC is 0.8 and the pH is 7.5+, which I understand to be not too good. My question is, do you think I should use it (with some pH down), or should I purchase distilled or some other bottled water each week? I am concerned about the cost of buying water, but it is only for a few pots so it may not cost that much each week.. (also I don't think a reverse osmosis system can be covered by my budget at the moment). The seedlings are currently in rockwool cubes being watered with distille…

Hey guys. Any of you guys had experience with growing plants indoors then bringing them outdoors at the start of spring time? What Strains did you use? I plan on growing some plants indoors from seed... determining their sex... making clones and building ranks.. right before the start of the outdoor season. Also.... reckon a plant under 24/0 indoor light would revert to flower when brought outside? Furthermore... I live in Australia... so if your a northern hemi.. your light hours and intensity are differeent... thus your advice does not merit. Cheers - Allotropy

I am going to be growing under 6 T5 high output lights (they use ballasts) but id like to take a clone off each plant (6 plants in total) root it and force it to flower to determine the sex of the plant it came from so i can destroy the males earlier in the grow. would 1 23W CFL do the job? (Id only flower 2-3 clones at a time) would it be enough light to get them to show sex?
