Hi I stumbled across this YT video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgt6BR8fzFc&feature=youtu.be Titled Topping and Main-liningI was surprised to see the topping done on a plant so small. Is this topping done at such an early stage with the idea of keeping the plant as short as possible ( one of the reasons ) ? Thanks

Hey all and thanks for having me over. I know a bloke who wants to grow autos and says that because they're so easy to grow he's just gonna germinate in wet cotton wool, plant them in 5 gallon fabric pots, throw them under some decent LEDs in his garage without the walls. Just under lights with no foil for reflection, and rely on room temp, decent soil, good food and a couple of fans, for the short time they need. His shed gets to around 15 degrees at night and 25-30 without much humidity. I know theyd be better outside this time of year but thats not really an option. Neither is a tent an option. Do you think theyd go OK?.

Hi, I have a small grow, about five plants into week 7, (three weeks into flower) critical mass and gold leaf. Normally the lights are on 12-12 and as I needed to go out by 12, I figured it would be cool to speak in and wake the girls up at 1130 so they get a bit of an early start. Naturally I would set the timer to 1130 and make that the new routine. Just as naturally, I forgot, in fact I left it on timer bypass, until I was driving home from a friends place that I remembered, so the light has been on for24 hours and is just about to enter the normal cycle on period. So, whats the consensus, do I a/ turn them off so they get a little darkness before resuming normal rou…

Hi crew Sooooo to be fair I’ve had some decent runs with coco and it was the first and only medium I’ve used . Had tonnes of fun battling gnats and I know I should have done more (gnat smack, pot socks , more yellow pads etc etc ) . But after a lot of research and lots of questions on here especially to Sedge, cooper , sooty , Merlin to name only a few I’ve thought I’ll give VP a try ! Dwc - had a good first run, but I simply don’t have the time to maintain it . My online fan in the tent stopped working and the water crept up too 29 degrees and caused root rot - lost 3 tie dyes that were 3 weeks into veg . Also had similar problem with my Africa strain - ph dropped , Aq…

I have 6 week old plants (currently in pots) that I'll start moving outside directly into prepared plots on a private property, into the ground in early Nov. I have chicken wire cages to deter larger predators, however I'm after advice on an ongoing plan to deter smaller pests ( mites, aphids, gnats, caterpillar etc). What ( and when and how often) should I start using deterrents to avoid/deter small pests??? I've researched ( but never used) things like silica( to strengthen plants), diatemaceous earth for avoidance, and foliar sprays( detergent, garlic etc), and eco neem, however am interested in a comprehensive plan of if/when, and how to use any( or all? ) of thi…

Hoping some experienced heads can help answer a question on Hermie seeds I seem to be getting conflicted info from dr google ... So a I have a female plant that Hermied due to environment factors not genetics. That plant is pulled out ASAP but still pollinates the other females. Are those seeds feminized, Hermie or mixture of the two? Posted from the OZ Stoners mobile app

recently(last 3 grows)I have been using two T5 system 4 foot by 4 lights 6500k.Very happy with it as i can even have only 2 bulbs running when cloning.So one of the bulbs blew on me and i thought no worries ill by a couple.The price of the bulbs is close to price of whole fixture which came with 4 bulbs in them.So my hps ballasts can be switched to mh.I have never vegetated with somthing as strong as 1000 watt mh (ballasts are 1000 watt)Anyone use mh 1000w for veg and can tell me how well it works.I would save alot of money in the purchase but would I lose that with the price of electricity running a mh 1000w instead of current T5 system I,m running.

I have a cutting from a flowering mother about 2 weeks along after rooting. I just moved it a lot closer to light (600w mh) because I had it at 3 feet and a friend of mine said it was probably getting little or no light. This is my first time growing. I'm just trying to get an idea of when to switch to flowering for this plant. Sent from my REVVL 2 PLUS using Tapatalk

Hey peeps! So iv got a few seeds that didn’t make the tent on this run, thinking about just throwing them in a few pots in the tent to veg out a bit and then outside to get them out of the way...... I probably won’t run autos in the tent again, for the fact of how finicky they are and really only saving a month on time for less quality and yield. Now! I’d still like to try and get the most out of them outdoors because a jar of ok herbs is better then no jar at all....... any tips towards autos outdoors would be appreciated! Months, potsize, soils and what not....... I have little to no outdoor experiance! Chimp glue autos are going soooo good in the tent and loving eve…

So ive been looking at all sorts of potting mediums, and after looking at soiless like coco a lot of people have said it's hard for beginners so I decided not to do that, and the supersoil I've heard of cannot be bought in the UK and I cannot create my own due to constrictions. So my question is what is the best way to grow with soil? Any specific type I should get (I live in UK so cannot buy ocean forest) and if I do go soil how do I give it nutrients and the sort? Many thanks
