1 whats going on with my plant, tips turning yellow/brown like theyre drying up. 2 other than the obvious does the plant look normal? its northern light.

This looks like nute burn, could be overwatering. My baby leaves on all of my plants look like this and mine were over watered. They will remain like that the rest of their lives. IF the new growth looks good your made in the shade so to speak

I'm getting a 50% germination rate on seeds that grow a healthy tail. Is it my medium? Im growing in a potting soil called Baccto that my local nursery recommended. It has sand and vermiculite. Im packing the soil in bathroom cups, poking my pinkie in 1/2", putting the seed and packing gently. I then water slowly....any suggestions? Am I over watering?

are there nutrients in your medium? are you germing with paper towel method, or just planting them in the soil and keeping it moist?

what are you using now?

 

[tulewerx]

germing and letting it tail about 3/8" no nutes. i was told the soil has enough nutes for the early stages.

that would be your problem. you soil has enough nutrients for the early stages of growth, but also enough to kill some weaker seedlings. i start my seeds in small cups of neutral yard dirt and then transplant into soil that contains a little bit of nutrients when the cotyledons start to shrivel up.

was that your only issue? how many plants are you planning on growing and what are you using for light?

 

[tulewerx]

But my yard dirt might not be neutral right? Ill give it a go.

 

[KaleoXxX]

chances are that it not is unless you have had leafs decomposing on it or some other form of fertilizer

edit: i always check my yard dirt for critters eggs and any other harmful things like that

just to clear things up...so get dirt where nothings growing right?

theres a vacant house near mine that has dirt all in their front yard and dogs shit all the time there. I harvested some dirt from there and teste ph its perfect. I dont know if i wanna use it I was just bored lol.

 

[KaleoXxX]

dog shit contains toxins; i wouldnt use that soil

 

[KaleoXxX]

just to clear things up...so get dirt where nothings growing right?

no not where NOTHING is growing because thats soil is probably barren and full of sand or has some sort of problem. just go for regular yard soil, where things grow, but dont decompose

I am getting ready to clone off my 4 week old elephant bud! I topped once at 4 node they r big and very bushy! I have read alot about cloning on this site. So many different ways, I think I'm more confused now then before I started reading up on it. Lol! I was just wondering if anyone here on this thread has any input on the subject?? Like what medium rockwool, oasis ,rapid rooter ,jiffy pots?? I have tl jump start t5 light a humidome and seedling heat mat. Just wondering on what cloning gel?? Or different tech. Youall' use?? Any info would be appreciated, peace.

Man there are just too many variables to begin giving u advice as u found out urself by reading up..
I've been succesful in grodan rockwool, coco, aerocloner.. Just pick ur preffered method and get cloning,.. It's not hard

 

[riddleme]

I have been spending time moving my so called nuggets of info to my new blog (Riddlemes Nuggets sig link)

I just put my way of clonning there so it is on top https://www.rollitup.org/blogs/171313-riddleme.html

It is ghetto but it works great

 

[riddleme]

Sick rids, looks great..

Thank you, I really like the new RIU

The Blog thing is cool because the info post stays on top and the comments don't mess things up like what happens in the forum post

I think once folks get used to it this site will be so much better

hey riddle what cha know about cloning in flower? like 5 weeks

Bad idea, it can be done up to 3 weeks in flower (during the stretch/push) takes a bit longer though but after that your % of success goes way down with everyday

Good news is if you keep em green you can re-veg (only took me 3 weeks) and get clones after you harvest

 

[streetlegal]

Yep, they will put there energy into flowering instead of throwing roots..

@riddles- yeh I think I'm one of the minority who like it,.more polished and professional feel..
Just a few glitches to smooth out yet I think
