Ok I ended up using the large pots as before after a good wash, could end up waiting a week or more for the other pots.
I have germinated one lowryder and will put under LED in next day or 2 on 20/4 or 24/24?
I know everyone is saying no nutes until 4th node or at least a couple of weeks as they have there own supply as such, butI know canna has nothing in it, is that still cool?

If it has nothing in it then what's the point of using it?

It depends on the type of water you are using. I watered my seeds/seedlings with tap water that sat out in a bucket for a day, once I was ready for nutes I started using good water and CalMag. Good luck! Hope your grow goes great!

I used day old tap water and a ph buffer to 6 can switch to filtered water if its better as I have loads of it

Just remember to "KEEP IT SIMPLE" starting out and then you will learn something new after each grow, make sure you do not take to much on at first Quality instead of quanity

Its not true that u must germinate in the final pots u will grow in. Its also important to keep ur ph lower than soil grows. I believe the magic number is 5.6 but if ur shooting for 6 then ur not out of the ballpark.
I like ur setup and I think u will do well.
I dont like autos. I won't grow them and but I won't bash ur efforts for wanting to grow them. Do try other cultivars that are photo growers. Theres many more strains available.
I'm a big TGA fan. His shit is frosty and flavorful, I think u will agree. Good luck.

OK my seed germed and started to grow its first set of real leaves so i popped it 3 feet under my LED , next morning dead!!
I really am a weed murderer !!!
I have now been informed by someone that ANOTHER reason im fecking up is because im putting seedlings straight under LED and the lights are wrong for that and I should have them under CFLs for a couple of weeks of veg ....
SO what would be really helpful is if someone could give me some examples of CFLs that they use or would be good, like the brand name and specs so I can get the right ones first time and not have to wait another 2 weeks to be told WRONG again.. hahahha

How much sunlight r u getting their the now ? And if u had to use cfls u would b looking for a good strength blue spectrum cfl it will tell u lumin output and light spectrum on the side of the bulb box then just buy a clip on light fixture to suit the bulb (eg in veg (seedling)u would probably get a 24 watt blue spectrum bulb that would b about 6700kblue)but if ur days r long and sunny the windowsill inside would b perfect for seedling using jiffys.

The lights a problem in my neck of the woods lately , I will use a 23 w 6500 to kick it off then move them under the LED with a couple of 100w 2700 to help along.
They say justto keep it a couple of inches away .
