how are you starting them off? in rockwool cubes? just curious i was thinking this myself one day, Do you think smaller cubes would be helpful, as they would root quicker probably, and might allow them to be planted earlier....? maybe, I don't have much experience with seeds in rockwool, indoors anyway, outside yes, i broke up some rockwool into tiny pieces and scooped out a crater in the cube, stuck the loose bits of rockwool in, (soaked ofcourse) and then planted the root tip, i did this to start inside a long time ago.
I use the paper towel method to get them cracked, usually takes 24hrs. Then I put them in a small rockwool cube (bout 4cmX4cm) with a hole in the middle. I soak the rockwool in ph water with a bit of ryzo in it
Then put them in my germ dome and wack em under 3 four foot grolux bulbs![]()
great to hear man! I too love the paper towel method, also an idea is to put in a container to keep moisture in, i always forget and lose alot of seeds to drying out!!....back then anyway, i'm too careful and love my cannabis too much to let that happen again lol You get that ryzo idea from meor you a smart man

seedlings and clones love seaweed extract as it has alot of helpful hormones needed for root stimulant....
I got carried away on my last update, it was day 4 not 5, day 1 was the 13th, so today is day 5. and i see baby trichs growing their little village of heaven, or this strain is naturally frosty
added 50ml of part A cyco PGR (plant growth Regulator for newbies) raised my light 5 inches. it shot up last night and today, the humid weather helping the massive growth stretches i presume. i want to leave her as is for now, maybe a few tweaking of some branches here and there, little uneven , my plant is more Bushy on the right hand side due to my globe being more positioned on the right side of my hood...upgrade time. that hood won't last lang. TRIAL AND ERROR PEOPLE. it's cooling is very effective with the bonus fan built in but light spread is limited. I'M A PICKY PRICK.
Day 5 Flowering for FlowaMasta!!! come on baby!! ''pulling those reigns tight' Yield is completely unpredictable at this stage and counting the tops, well i'm lazy, i'll wait till i see some nugs. Here I am expecting more for day 5 hehe....Can't help myself but get ahead. yep sleep?? pretty hard when your as excited as me

She is turning into a beast quickly, looks great Flow!!! I would recommend using Root plugs instead of Rockwool.
I copied this from a website:http://www.hydroponics.net/i/111400
Rapid Rooter Grow Plugs are a sponge like material, all natural soilless organic grow plugs made of composted tree bark and organic materials. These biodynamic plugs are perfect for seedlings or cuttings. Transplant plugs in soil or soilless hydrogardening applications. Grow Plugs are manufactured with a proprietary composting method and contains natural beneficial fungi from this advanced composting biotechnology. Seedlings and cuttings grown in Grow Plugs will be able to transplant days ahead of plants started in Jiffy 7, Rockwool, Oasis, or Pro Mix. Grow Plugs are biodegradable and 100% organic.
plugs are 1.5 inches (38 mm) across the top and 1.75 inches (44 mm) tall.
I would highly recommend using them or at least trying them out.

sounds cool as shit FMILY ima check em out too! haha
thanx man, i checked them out, haven't seen them around anywhere, interesting, yes they would be great i'm sure! i do like the old rockwool cubes though, nice size and stability, they hold alot of moisture, and the root system has to get quite large before it can penetrate the outside, i think this could have a larger root mass maybe? thoughts are appreciated ofcourse. I will give them a go sometime if i ever find them!they wold be great for outside aswell, quick starters, instant growth. How fast do they root?
I kinda time mine so when i chop clones i have a couple of mates ready to pick up, so when they get to 4 weeks or so, i can come and get a baby off themMutual perpetual
thanx for the valuable info. I can't rep you soz man
