    Skipping the germination and going straight to the soil

    I won't be mixed at all. I've grown perpetually for over 15 years, autos and photos. I Place a seed at 1/2 deep in moistened biobizz light mix, on a temp control mat and smoke a doob. Simple....no chants, paper towels or other greek shit.

    First time doing autos. HELP

    Perhaps visit autoflower.net for detailed auto info. You've chosen a well reputed medium....I've used it in a perpetual grow for years and find it the most consistent batch to batch. I grow in 2-3 ltr so no help on 11 ltr except I feed nothing but di water for 3 weeks...then very very...

    Input needed

    I don't always add more light but when I do I bump it at least by 100w per light addition. The older the stoner, the more likely you'll run all your shit.... With a perpetual grow, it's easy to see changes. About 35 w sq ft seemed to be when things popped ...added more over several runs till now...

    Spider Farmer SF2000 VS Phlizon CREE COB 3000W Someone Smarter Than Me About Lights

    Having run one or two of each....hps,led,cob,qb,blurple....they all grow weed. Although I've settled (are old stoners ever settled??) on a combo of cobs and qbs...I do run an old blurple or hps at times for filler...... Since I've always got several plants at different stages, I can isolate...

    Put seeds in soil or water then soil?

    There's no improvement on simply placing a seed at 1/2" deep in moistened medium, on heat mat. Any further handling is unnecessary. Living in a farming community, I've yet to see anyone soak a seed or sand the shells....and we're still eating the results. All these bro-science ideas are just...

    Do seedlings need dark periods?

    Soil for seedlings help???

    Plant seed in medium at right temp/moisture. Nothing else needed. No paper towels, soaking, chanting to the eastern winds......More rocket science/bro shit is just that. Personally, I never touch a seed and never abrade it in any way. You ever see a farmer soaking or 'sanding' his seeds?

    Seedlings and lights

    Actually, IMO, germing and growing seedlings under a low wattage floros is a great way to start. I have used a 96w T5HO (6500k) for germ and 3 weeks veg for years. run mine 24/7 -365. Gets all plants ready for the main flower room. Keep your little light within a inch or two with a slight...

    WTF am I doing wrong?

    When i first started growing, everything was very hush hush and stealth was so necessary...hell, ya got 'noided buying miracle grow at walmart! That being said, for years, i used MG and it taught me watering. Your finger stick moisture check is your first and probably worse habit. MG need a bit...

    My boss said I smell like weed...

    It's kinda funny...I lost most of my sense of smell years ago and it's got to be really pungent for me to smell anything. Growing inside for 15 yrs, ya get used to it anyway....my wife, on the other hand is my blood-hound and we were surprised when someone sniffed her out for the slight skunk of...

    Picking lights 4 newbie

    Appears you've made some strides in your new hobby. Addiction will soon follow but you can burn the evidence. Funny, you have the exact space I use....germ/Vegging in a separate area, I move all to the flower room...kinda in one end, out the other. Mine happens to be part of a large bathroom so...

    Using silica?

    Sand does not hold water. It's used for drainage and I'd think there'd be a limit to it usefulness as measured drainage is important. Personally, I pay for the engineering of the mediums I use and use it as I buy it. Amending mediums may be fun but it can be a pandora's box.
