Is there any point leaving the lights on before they pop up from the soil? When they first spout from the soil would they benifits from the lights staying on a day or 2 or going straight to 16/8h of light? And with timers is just any timer from Bunnings going to do the job or are some of the cheaper ones not so good? Thanks for any advice.

Hey fellas I’m in my final 2 weeks and all I can say is wow there bigger then I have ever seen them and still almost 2 weeks left, that said I climbed in amongst them and there was a lot more lying over then I thought so I spent a frustrating hour or so trying to tie them up but at some points I felt I was possibly harming them as couldn’t help being abit rough pulling apart ect, I can’t really use a net in this space and there is just so much there to try and manage whilst crawling arounder under neath and squashed around edges. Am I just worrying over nothing or is it possibly damaging them, I would love to hear anyone’s tips and tricks about this Cheers Poste…

Hi all. I have recently, and very proudly, produced viable seeds from a recent crossing. They have germinated and I am about to pop them in soil. Can anyone advice on how to proceed with noting the growth, characteristics, etc to find the right phenotype? Is there an excel table or program that will help me document my adventure? I'm not one for note writing but this must be documented if I want to produce the strain I'm looking for. PS: How would I guess the thc/cbd ratio? is it based on the parents?

hi, just wondering how to get around this without causing too many issues, i have a plant in 1st week of flower / i mean turned lights down from 18 to 12 hours 2 days ago!. was originally running from 430 am to 1030 pm. now on a 12 hour cycle starting at 430am till 430pm. only problem is that i should actually run it through the night like say 6pm until 6 am due to the cold. nights are now down to as low as 6 degrees and i want to run lights during the night instead of the day. is there a safe way of doing this? pistils are already out so i need your advice. do i bite the bullet and run it from 430 am all the way to 6pm the following day? or do i just leave them in the d…

Just wondering what the general consensus is when it comes to setting the on and off times when you flower your girls? Obviously going to a 12/12 cycle but does it matter what time of the day you set your on and/or off time in relation to your veg cycle timing? They are currently coming on at 4pm and off at 10am. Is it more important to still go off at 10, or still come on at 4, or does it not matter at all as the plants will work it out after a couple of days?

Ok so I thought I found a herm (still most likely is) but..... I quarantined the bitch to monitor. Now what I first thought were balls, and what everyone told me was balls..... is now shooting pistols out of it?? Can this happen and how? It’s supposed to be fem seeds and this is not caused by stress..... my question is, can a fem seed try to herm out but have the X over power the Y and stay as a fem? All on lower growth, tops are all bud Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Just a quick question. Can you clone a flowering cutting that has been self pollinated? So it’s an intersex female, not a maph. Any info would be greatly appreciated [emoji120] Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

I've been inspired by DoNothingGarden's thread to make my own potting mix for next year's crop. I have 4 worm cafes (from Bunnings) and 2 X 100litre compost bins so no shortage of worm castings or compost. Over the last few days I have ordered: Canadian Sphagnum Peat Moss 5mm Scoria Rice Hulls Malted Barley Grain Regenerate Blend Aloe Powder Kelp Meal Neam Meal Crustacean Meal Rock Phosphate Gypsum Mycogold Beneficial Fungi Biochar Fulvic Acid Powder Have I forgotten anything? When I've made the soil up and let it cook I currently plan to plant a green manure crop until I am ready to start the new crop. I'll buy some of DNG's 95 litre fabric pots when they are…

I've got 4 NL fems germed in small rockwool cubes now. Plan is for them to get under a 600w hps. Veg for maybe 4 to 6 weeks then go to 12/12. I have 1gal and 3gal fabric pots which I'll fill with vermiculite and perlite. Theyll be fed by my recirc system which I can time to water however and how much I like. If planted in the 1 gal fabric pots I know they'll dry out quicker but thats OK as I'll just feed more regularly. Should I expect a lower yeild from the 1 gals as compared to the 3 gal pots or similar if I water the 1 gals more frequently? The reason I'm considering the 1gals over the 3 gals is because they sit on the lid of my tote which is used to catch ru…

So should I attempt to fix what I assume to be a manganese deficiency or just leave it until harvest? My guess is 2-4 weeks away but I don’t have magnification to look at trichomes. Slight browning of pistils but not a true indicator. Let me know what you guys think, cheers Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

Hey guys just doing some random stoner thoughts and am wondering some things about how plants grown in shade behave. I'll sort of know for myself once we get our first harvest done as we've got some shaded plants, but am wondering about others exp too. I understand the plants wont grow as big and vigorous as plants in full sun, and the yield will suffer. But what are the nugs like? Is it possible to create the same high quality nug, albeit in lesser yeild, from a shaded plant? Or will the nug be airy and crap no matter what? Could pruning the plant to such a point that their is only one or two nug growth sites enhance the plant energy going into those nugs making them d…
