    It's been a while since I had a helmet stuck which I attribute to my germ methods. 1. remove seed from frig hiding spot. 2. Plant in warmed/ moistened medium 1/2 inch deep...don't pay much attention to orientation although it may help. 3. wait The helmet is dragged off by pushing through to the...

    First time grow (Autos)

    Autos will certainly learn ya something...mostly to leave'm the fuk alone. I've grown autos/photos for 15 years and ruined a lot of'em by trying to push the rope. Back then autos were mostly short and stocky and were developed to hide among other plants...as they became popular, breeders added...

    last run with old lighting

    Hellofagrow! Actually, I can say led is equal in most areas, better in others. I once grew under 1000w + 400w hps in a small room and grew nice weed and only changed over to led type lighting (qb, cobs) because of a ballast failure..... and the first thing noticed was heat became much easier to...

    Wow, you dug up some old thread... If I remember correctly, don't think results were significant enough to prove a positive increase in anything important but didn't hurt either... I still add a little blackstrap at times.

    Let’s see those small tents packed to the max

    I grow in 2-3 ltr pots just so I can stuff my 2x3 tent. Keeping veg-flower-finishing slots filled with 3 each most of the time usually ends up with at least 6 growing at one time in the flower tent with 3 vegging in another space. With 3 separate lights, adjusting per plant is easy...sure its...

    Questions about pots!

    I"ve been converting all my grow pots to air pots for ease of handling and they grow bigger, better plants. You tube will help understand the wrapping and filling and you'll learn the rest by doing.....When you see the root ball after peeling it, you'll be convinced. The art of watering is key...

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    IMHO...most strains I've grown can be harvested at different times to fit in the "need of the day". I do lean toward strains that were bred for MS and its shitty symptoms and although some are better than others, all help. A timely, staggered harvest at various finish stages can be significant...

    Germinating Seeds

    I germ every seed I start direct in moistened medium...Bio Bizz Light Mix...in solo cups....on 80 deg heat mat...under T5H0 24/7. Found that those cups need nothing for days. Starting seeds is as much about patience as waiting on the last few days of harvest. Ya just gotta go smoke a joint or...

    How much longer on this frosty beast

    If outside, it'll mature more quickly. I'd suggest a week- 10 days when harvest window may open...

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    No prob about asking...that's why AFN is here. No input on forgotten cookies, although most mephisto strains I've grown have been larger than most other autos...like the double grape in the pic. It was topped yet still outgrew the tent. As mentioned, I grow in 2-3 ltr pots and yeild averages...

    proof urine is a super fert for plants

    I know for a fact cat piss is not an option. My wife kept a friends cat briefly while I was out of town...cat pissed in a 45 yr old bonzai....slowly died....I really hold that against using piss!

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    When I'm running a new strain of autos, I top one and let one do it's thing. Autos have changed over the years and get taller than years ago so I've found most must be topped. Just ran several double strains that all yeilded within a few grams of each other regardless of top. I usually top at...

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    By all means, mix ya different mediums together so you have something to blame on the failure. Works every time. You should peruse more auto friendly forums to understand the MYTHS that seem to confuse new growers. I transplant every plant and top most especially those that are known...

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    Yep, I grow mostly autos, always with a photo alongside. I've germed in everything 1 gal and smaller...now germ all in 12 oz solo cups, prepared for easy trans to a 2-3 ltr final pot. Smaller pots are easy to determine watering needs and I've never seen any deficient regardless of size... After...

    Transplant in the morning or at night?

    I transplant every plant, auto and photo and have never paid any attention to time of day or plant schedule. Since all are under 24/0 lighting,it shouldn't make any difference. IMO, the usual problems are poor prep of receiving container and watering...pointed out by Michi-can... Personally I...

    Dehumidifier in drying tent

    I run a dehumidifier while flowering but have never felt it necessary to run it during drying even though I dry in a bathroom where humidity is usually high....The higher rh, as long as air is moving past the buds, will aid in a desired slow dry....so I would not run a dehumidifier during dry as...

    Best way to boost terp and frost production organically?

    After years of growing good quality weed, those who smoke my stuff have been reporting an increased potency...and noticeable frostiness....The only change I've made is a dehumidifier to my tent. After 3 harvests showing the same increase regardless of strain, tells me that environment IS a major...

    Problems with air pots.

    After a few runs with airpots, I'm changing all my pots out. I use the 1 gal/ 3.5 ltr size for easier handling and have found a way to reduce the river building....When loading, every couple inches, just stir the medium around, you'll notice level dropping as it fills the voids, then transplant...

    Hps 1000w or LED

    My first years of growing was under a 1000w +400w hps . In a large room, heat was never an issue and I grew monster autos. Down sizing to a tent forced adjusting everything just for the heat of hps...cool tube 400w served me well for another few years till blurples/led came on board...after...
