I germ inside a 12 x 16 inch sealable baggie. Whatever you choose the important thing is it has to be sealed to be most effective. Biggest threat is the seeds drying out. Good luck, BigSteve.

Top plant barely yes, second plant will also re-grow but your yield will be miniscule. Say 5-10 grams cured. Not worth the effort. Next time (I've done this a lot) start your harvest by cutting off the top half of the plant. You want your re-grower to be nearly half as tall as it was at...

My guess is that you don't have enough perlite in your soil, plant doesn't get the needed drainage and acts over-watered. Get some MiracleGro Potting Mix. Has enough perlite you don't have to add any yourself. Good luck, BigSteve.

Try submersible pumps. They sit on little suction cup feet and don't move or shake around. Good luck, BigSteve.

Usually I don't recommend moving plants to get light. Always better to move the light, eh? I have never heard another suggestion that finishing outside changes the final product. And moving plants, especially larger top-heavy plants, can be a disaster if you have a fatal fallover. But if you can...

Gently squeeze the seed between your finger and thumb to judge how hard the seed is. If there is any give or softness at all you can likely forget harvesting. Viable seeds are hard, and, the darker the better. Good luck, BigSteve.

You can't swing a dead cat in central Michigan without hitting 3 or 4 growers. Little towns of 2-3000 folks will often have a grow shop. Local tow-truck driver wouldn't take bud as payment as he said he knew 6 guys growing within a mile of my little lake. From the local paper it seems the narc...

MiracleGro Potting MIx also says it has the nutes to feed a plant 3 month. Ignore that. I water new seedlings with a spray bottle and pure water the first week or so. Then I use the regular nute-water from then on. I use 1/2 tbs. MG blue chrystals per gallon of water. Works for me. Good luck...

I water new seedlings with a spray bottle. Try to spray around the roots and not get the leaves too wet. Good luck, BigSteve.

This is complicated if you want to use your card to order from Attitude. For years I used my Visa-Debit card to pay for purchases from Attitude. Then last year (I think?) my card was rejected. To make a long story longer I called Attitude customer service for the skinny. She said their company...

Wet bud should dry to about 1/4 of it's harvest weight. Count on around one oz. Good luck, BigSteve.

Light green/yellow new greenery is typical of fast growth. Plants will continue to grow and veg the first couple weeks at 12/12/ . Yours look fine. See the swirly leaves near the top? That is a result of moving the plant in relation to the light source. The leaves will rotate to keep facing the...

I buy and sell rare coins online and a few years ago spent some time with a US postal inspector as she investigated some of my insured coins lost in the mail. She said they, US Customs, look at every package coming into the US from abroad. They are particularly looking for explosives and...

Yes, it is not unusual to find some weird plant sprouting. Pull it. It will never turn into cannabis and can only hurt your plants. I use MiracleGro Potting Mix and will find one or 2 of these mystery plants for every 10 plants. Like you, I was curious so I let one grow out a couple weeks. The...

I make my own pipes from a one-inch thick board of mahogany found tearing a house down. Can you imagine using mahogany for 18" x 40" shelves? Anyway, I make the bowl the right size to accommodate a dime-sized bud. I try not to have to grind up anything. But I'm lucky to have a large enough...

Smaller plant in the back looks like it may have a tendency to become puny. Notice how wide the main stem is between nodes (sets of leaves)? I would prefer the plant to be bushier than it looks now and now is the time to "fix" it. Two best suggestions are FIM'ing or topping. I would go with...

1. Wrong question - should be asking if you have too much heat. If you are in a small closet you should come up with some sort of ventilation. For my flowering room I have a 20-inch box fan sitting in the doorway with the door 3/4 open. I get antsy when room temps get over 80 degrees fairenheit...

Don't be afraid to make some small braces while seedlings are in the toothpick range. I use various sized bamboo skewers with a pipecleaner wrapped around them. You should have a fall-over rate close to zero % if you brace properly. Good luck, BigSteve with yet another reason to make your life...

I can see your problem immediately. When new seedlings first go into dirt the plant is concerned with just one thing - growing enough roots so the plant is stabilized. So the s'ling sends out roots until the roots reach the side of the pot. That tells the plant to dial back on root growth and...

Research has shown that vegging at 20/4 or 24/0 have virtually no difference in growth. Those 2 routines, 20/4 or 24/0, grow plants faster than any other light schedule. I keep my 400W veg bulb going 24/0 to save the bulbs. Nothing wears out our hi-density bulbs than turning them on and off. So...
