    Most reliable way to start new seeds?

    So every time I start new seeds I drop them in water for like 48 hours or so until the radicle / taproot shows and then transplant them with tweezers to organic soil, buried about 1/2 inch deep and then put under 600w LED light for 24 hours, then switched to 18/6 light. This has always worked...

    6 days seedlings - not popping through

    I always start my grows by dropping my seeds into a cup of water then once the tap root shows transplanting via tweezers into small #1 pots of Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil (I make the hole about 1/2 inch deep). I then leave them under 600w Mars Hydro LED for 24 hours then switch to 18/6 lighting...

    Blue Dream: finger growths + mature popcorn buds - ready to harvest?

    I have 3 x Blue Dream plants (indoor, 600W LED) that I switched to 12/12 on June 15th (so like 14 x weeks ago) and then a week ago I switched it to 10 hours light/14 hours dark to speed maturation. Anyway most of the popcorn buds look ready to go (most white pistels have turned orange and...

    Partial harvesting / uneven plant maturity

    So for my first indoor grow I have three blue dream plants under a 600 watt LED that are in the 11th week under 12/12 My question has to do with harvesting and plant maturity - basically a lot of the buds - particularly the mid sized ones below the large main colas (I topped them all a few...

    looking for new strain recommendations

    hey so I’m looking for some recommendations on a strain to try growing next. my last grow was some sativa strains that even with topping and LST grew super high and I ended up losing some flower to light burn in my tent. I prefer sativas but this time I need something that doesn’t shoot up...

    Passive intake vents and light leakage - how much does it really matter?

    So with a typical small (2’x4’x5’) grow tent (like the one I use) there are often these rectangular shaped vents (with fine mesh covering them and reclosable Velcro cover-flaps on the outside) near the bottom that are commonly used for passive air intake if you’re using an in-line fan system to...

    Multiple Toppings - how far down to make cuts

    so I’m topping my plants for the 2nd time (topped them first time 12 days ago). Anyway I’m going to top them at least once more, so I was going to cut the 2 x new auxiliary buds to create 4. Anyway I’m curous what some of you experienced growers who top your plants multiple times would say as...

    Re-potting in pre-mixed organic soil + nutrients?

    so later today I’m going to transport 4 x plants (3 x blue dream and 1 x amnesia haze) under 600W LED in veg at 5.5 weeks from 1 gallon plastic pots to 5 gallon Smart Pots. Initially I planted them in Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil, which I was told would have enough nutrients for about 4 weeks of...

    Should I top these again? & topping + repotting

    4 x plants (3 x blue dream, 1 x amnesia haze) in Fox Farm Ocean Forest soil under 600W LED at about 5 weeks veg. I topped all four 10 days ago - do you think they’re ready to be topped again or should I wait longer? see pics below. Also they are in 1 gallon standard plastic plant pots - I don’t...

    Lower leaf issue

    I’ve seen some other posts and read a little bit about issues with lower leaves during veg and it seems it’s often either a nutrient issue or lack of light. I have 4 plants right now (3 x blue dream, 1 x amnesia haze) just under 4 x weeks in veg (under 600W LED) but I topped them 3 days ago so...

    First time topping plants - how does this look?

    Have 4 x females at about 3 weeks veg (3 x blue dream and 1 x amnesia haze) that I topped today and I wanted to know if the way I cut it looks right. The first 4 x pics are of each stem cut (I took off the tops at the 6th node) but I’m not sure if I should’ve cut lower and taken more off on some...

    Transporting to larger pots before topping?

    hey quick question here. I’ve got 4 x plants total (3 x blue dream and 1 x amnesia haze) at about 3 1/2 weeks veg under 600W LED in soil. I am planning on topping these plants at the 6th node to help create SOG. However I currently have them in standard 1 gallon plastic flower pots and as I am...
