Two ways to approach this problem -- If you are using the paper towel method for germinating make sure you have removed both halves of the seed cap before removing from the paper towels. It is easiest to manipulate the seed cap pieces while the seedling is still lying mostly flat in the paper...

Good info on the fabric pots! Thanks. BigSteve.

I use liquid nutes and water daily up to the final 2 weeks. Good luck, BigSteve.

One cheap thing you can do is to get a handful of those mirrors found on the back of (often bedroom) doors. I see them like 18 x 48 inches and they are great for leaning up against the wall in your grow room. Kick them out so the bottom on the floor is 6 inches or so from the wall. That'll help...

A good grow mixture should have 10-15% perlite. Good luck, BigSteve.

Looks more like 3-4 oz to me. Good luck, BigSteve.

Plants look OK. My complaint is with pot size. You will be wasting several weeks waiting for the roots to first grow out into the side of the pot. You won't see hardly any above-ground growth for weeks. It isn't too late to transplant the seedlings into 8-10 oz. solo cups. Will save you a ton of...

Most people on this site are Americans trying to get seeds to the US from the UK. Good luck, BigSteve.

Fender GuitarMember New Check out The Cannabis Encyclopedia by Jorge Cervantes. The book contain tons of information but is about 600 pages long which may be too much for some people What he said. Good luck, BigSteve.

I don't know of anyone who has been able to break into the commercial side of growing despite many who are trying. Good luck, BigSteve.

I've heard that each gallon of pot size can support 30 days of growth. So 5 gallon means you could grow up to 20 weeks. Most of my plants finish in pots that are 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 gallon. I do use 3 gallon pots for clone donor moms. Good luck, BigSteve.

"Not all strains have hollow stems" Didn't know that. Good info! Thanks. BigSteve.

Good clone moms -- *should be 6 weeks old or older *should be symmetrical. I prefer a Christmas tree shape. Asymmetrical implies variable cuttings. *should produce cuttings that are large enough to have a straw-like hole in it. 1/4 to 3/8 diameter works for me. Good luck, BigSteve.

I would count on needing right around 4 square feet of space to finish flowering. Good luck, BigSteve.

I use the 3-12-6 flowering nute from Dyna-Gro. It is a liquid that completely mixes with the daily watering. I quit using the flowering nutes when I have 10-14 days left to flower. Seems to cut down on any chemical after-taste. Good luck, BigSteve.

I use water that is pretty warm to prep the cubes. My trick is to wrap a rubberband around the cube after the cutting has been inserted into the cube. Good luck, BigSteve.

I had all kinds of problems buying from Attitude with my credit card, the method I've used for 10 years. Finally got a customer service lady and she told me to use my Visa Debit card but to use the button for Visa but not Visa - debit. Even if it is a Visa - debit card like mine she had me go...

I'm not familiar with that strain but usually count on my indicas starting to show flowers around week 3 with the lights at 12/12. Good luck, BigSteve.

I clone mostly indicas and they tend to be quicker than sats -- Some varieties will root if the mom is just 5 weeks old. But I recommend donor moms to be at least 6 weeks old. I use the larger 2-inch jiffy pellets for my clones. The bigger pellets let you use larger cuttings without fear of...

Nick -- Most of the info you have provided is pretty close to the way I would describe it. Problem is your snarky know-it-all 'tude at the beginning. Before calling me a noob you should check and see I've been at this site since 2007. How long have you been around, eh? One last thing- just about...
