VEG TIME INQUERY

[arcalion]

If you are working with seeds, it is a good idea to snip a branch early and put it into 12/12 to confirm sex.

i always get fem'd seeds from humbolt, so i dont need to worry about that

Not sure where you are from but if you are near the emerald triangle I'd hit up Wonderland nurseries for good clones.
For seeds, my suggestion would be to try the Creme Brulee from Aficionado.

haha im all the way in canada, but it would be cool to find clones somewhere down here. but im also cool with making my own masterkush clones just because i know its capable of high yields and its super frosty

Do add lots of perlite.

Like LOTS and LOTS, 2 parts perlite to 1 part coco.

i dont think i want to be watering as much everyday, it would be a lot of work for the amount of plants i have lol, i think the 3 month veg from seed is good enough for me, its pretty simple

The more perlite u add the less u have to water. It absorbs air/water and releases it slowly

Nope, Perlite definitely is to help drain and dry faster. Vermiculite is a better addition if you need to retain water.
For optimum growth, you want to have the plants dry in time for watering every 3 days. This allows more opportunities for other things as well as feedings.
The regular drying also prevents root rot and gnats.

When I am vegging under 10 plants at a time, I dip the pots/bags manually in a bucket of fertilizer solution then place it on a drip rack, before returning it to the veg box.

If you want something low maintenance, go for soil, use an old flowerpot from outdoors with lots of weeds growing in it already, trim them down a bit and put your plant in the center.

i mean in Flower my plants dry in 3-4days easily, veg not so much since the Roots havent grown like crazy yet

Soil is slower than hydro. Clones are faster than seeds. ts as simple as that.

Cannabis grows at a rate of 12" per month on average, which is why most folks say veg for six weeks to get to 18" height, that is 3" per week of growth on average as a rule of thumb.

I really like this schedule it has worked perfect for Me. If you want good growth it's water every 3 days.
My wife would get pissed at Me if I took her pots

Go buy your own pot in the same size, transfer the contents... It is the old living soil you want.
