Growing secrets from badass growers

oh yeah, the THREAD QUESTION... Don't over water your seedings. Put them in 16 once cups to begin with. These dry ot faster, but give enough room for good root growth. DON'T FERTILIZE SEEDLINGS! it won't make em grow faster, but will take them to the end of the life cycle faster ;).

hey pinkus i read that mrhowardmarks reccomends using

My seedling mix;
50% perlite
40% sphagnum moss
10% peat moss


now, once they get into the vegetative cycle is that when you would want to transfer them into something like fox farm ocean forest soil? i see that you recommend using the 16 oz cups. if i were doing a SOG grow would i wait until 12/12 to transfer to something like a 3 gallon pot or should i do that sooner? thanks

lol. sorry, but thats only for the hubby to see.:o

omg, ringworm sucks. I've never had it, but my sister
did, and I was scared to touch her. lol. I kinda felt bad,
but then again I was like eh, I don't wanna get infected.
I've never had any of those things before, no nail infection or anything, so was really suprised to finally have this trouble.

Yea at first I just broke out with what seemed to be a typical very minor rash in areas, didn't look at all like ringworm, in fact nobody could even see anything wrong even my doc and I think he wondered if it was for real or all in my head the way it looked to him like I was scratching at nothing.

Well, then I finally got one typical ringworm 2" sized bright red dot in the middle of my forehead like a huge fucking bullseye, woke up to that one moring out of the blue and about shit myself.

At least being snowed in timed itself right so I don't have to do any going out in public.

heres one:

during the first couple weeks of flowering search your plants for every possible bud spot and do your best to tie branches down and fold leaves behind eachother to unblock any light. this will allow maximum exposure to all ur budsites. six to eight weeks later all those little sites u helped will be colas

"grower confessions" or some shit. :eyesmoke:

This is a myth, leaves provide the growing power buds don't. Completely counterproductive.

I got three tips out of that last post by GrowTech -

1) Use high quality anchors or the studs for mounting a light-mover (I personally prefer joists and studs when mounting anything to the ceiling, they'll support pretty much anything with the right size screw);

2) Your lights will stay nice and cool if you vent AC air through them;

3) Spend the money on a proper electrical mounting box and the proper sized stress relief clamps for that box and your gauge of wire, and mount the box to a stud or ceiling joist, use the correct size wire nuts for that gauge, and assemble everything, clamping the stress clamps down, so that nothing comes apart and you don't risk getting zapped. ;)

sometimes when your plants get leaf droop, its not because of over/under watering, its because they want you to hump them. What these guys aren't telling you is that they "aerrate" the soil on a regular basis ;)

ur saying not to open up the bud sites to light? that it doesnt matter if the leaves are covering the sites cuz they produce the photosynthesis that makes the budsites grow?
