    Veg questions

    If you have done a bit of reading and researching, you will find the terms '12/12 from seed' & '12/12 from clone' grow journals. There are many factors to the outcome of the yield just like in any grow, but it will give you a ballpark idea of what to expect ;) As mentioned in a recent newbie...

    Veg questions

    As long as it is not snowing during your winter, you can plant out for sure ;) I do most of my breeding in the winter ;) If you are not planning to grow that big, just veg them up a little under some Fluoro's and put them out and they will go into flowering cycle. If they are movable and you...

    Is this mother big enough to take 6 clones off her? (Pics)

    I don't believe you have stated the age of the plant...? Is it from seed or is she a clone? Regardless of size, you should consider waiting till the plant has reached maturity before cloning if from seed... usually takes about 2 months, sometimes less, sometimes more ;) This will also define...

    Pot Bound in flower

    Just be careful with smart pots... I have found them to be a little prone to molding on the outside at times... The roots really get in there... they still work well... and when you go to wash them, just throw them in the washing machine with a little Rhizotonic or something to break down the...

    Autoflower 12/12 or 20/4 for flowering?

    I agree with you tekdc ^^ I think Lowryders were still the whizz bizz back then... and breeders were still trying to stabilize strains ;) I think they are much more stable now and people are beginning to understand how they work/create Much better auto's these days... but I even started breeding...

    Autoflower 12/12 or 20/4 for flowering?

    I grew shitloads of autos years ago, and if indoor.... 24hr CFL. They really, really do not care if it is 2000K or 6500K.. they just dont in my experience *shrugs* If you can grow outdoor it is a much better option... and they can grow any time of the year you like, but produce more in the...

    Correct light distance

    I actually use a pretty funny yet innovative method of light/heat distance ^^ I doubt anybody else does this (apart from my peers which I have shown) tee he Do remember when you were a kid and you would write invisible messages on paper with lemon juice and lean it against the toaster to reveal...

    Pot Bound in flower

    Consider 'Rocket Pots' for the future if financially viable... no root spiraling and if somehow they do fill with roots the air/water ratio is still manageable through to harvest ;) The rockets never cease to amaze me... Cheers Jimmy.

    Germinating and planting

    Unless your seeds are a few years old, imo you shouldn't be soaking them in water. Fresh seeds will open quicker than old seeds, but despite a lot of people soaking till the tap root shows, if you water log the seed the chances of survival are lowered quite a bit. Temperature and moisture is...

    I don't know what the hell I am doing - 1st grow with AG Big Hawaiian

    Could be some new cutting edge weed that looks like Dandelion...? Very Stealth *_* Looks like some type of Salvia??? Maybe they mixed up your seeds? Cheers Jimmy.

    How often should I calibrate my fancy new pen?

    Regular cleaning once a month usually does the job for me... I use Bluelab Guardians. They have inbuilt sensor that makes you perform calibration throughout usage, but a good rinse and clean storage solution works. Every now and then I test with a Flairform liquid test PH kit as a secondary to...

    Soil(less) Cloning

    Humidity domes work okay for about the first 48-72 hours, opening for 10 mins every 24 hours, but then you should remove the dome or you welcome too much bad bacteria onto the clone. I think people say to starve the mom a little before taking clones based on the fact that when a plant is hungry...

    250W vs. 400W vs. 600W

    It is relative to the size of your growing area and to the maintainable climate/temperature you can provide. If you could maintain good ventilation to your area, and 600w is your maximum, run the 600w HPS for flowering. I use 50% strength of my MH for veg, which for you would be the 250w MH and...

    Seed size question

    This is true to be the general rule as I know it, but not completely conclusive as stated. Bit like childbirth, prem babies can turn out to grow into 6ft something adults and big babies can become... well Danny Devito ^^ Shiny seeds are usually most healthy, stripes and spots are simply...

    Soil PH staying at 7.5-8

    Granulated Dolomite works well, but you need ti mix in from the beginning. Failing that, Dolomite powder works well. I use a product called Eco Dolomite... very natural and effective. http://www.ecoorganicgarden.com.au/eco_flo_dolomite_p/fd.htm Be careful with straight pure/distilled/RO water...

    Soil PH staying at 7.5-8

    It could be you have a little bit of a buildup/lockout... Get some Dolomite powder, regular tap water (dont worry about ph) and flush through. Should clean out any buildup, buffer the soil, and next feeding just go as per usual and let us know how you go... A little bit of seaweed also help the...

    lower leaves turned yellow in a day...

    Sound like the plant just got hungry ^^ The bigger the plant, the easier it seems to use up it's lower leaves for food if it doesn't have enough nutrient Just give it some more food when the rain stops ;) Cheers Jimmy.

    Auto northern lights - coco coir - canna coco - help!

    Juuuuuuust take it slow! *raises palms* ;) It doesn't really need an nutes just yet, just moist coco that has been treated with some calmag. Nutrients will give it a boost in growth WHEN there is a root structure to take in those nutrients. If it just a seedling, it is trying to grow roots...

    What to do with male plants?

    Ive always believed in bagging any males that come from a new seed stock for future breeding. In an outdoor situation, you buy you're new fancy seed pack you are going to use for this season and germinate all seeds indoors just before the start of winter. Plant in spring, the males will show...
