Yeah, I say put them directly in the dirt, give them a good watering and then let them sprout. If you don't see a sprout after about 2 weeks, you can be just about certain to count that one out.
I've got 3 300 watt LEDs I've used for flower and I've gotten good results. Recently added a 400 watt HPS to my setup so now running that and 2x300 watts for a total 1000 watts in the same size tent you have. Im not Even 2 weeks into 12/12 and can already see how much the ladies are gonna love...
And also I want to refute the myth of not being about to transplant autos. Ideally cutting out the bottom is the safest way to go to minimize stress and still get good root development, but I've transplanted plenty of autos successfully, you just have to handle with care. Also I would transplant...
If you don't want to transfer the autos, next time cut out the bottom of a party cup, put it in the soil of the larger pot then plant the seed. I haven't grown many autos due to preference but that method has given me the best yields. Smaller cup allows for better root development.
Just two chime in, if you have a hydro shop near you there may be someone there who could fix it. The guy in my shop repairs ballast and he's nice enough to not charge you if he can't repair it. Maybe something you could look into if you don't have success on your own.
I would just make sure that miracle grow soil is free of fertilizer. And personally I wouldn't use miracle grow for fertilizer but if that's all you have access to definitely make sure it you dilute at first to see how the plants react. I'm an organic grower so I can only Make those types of...
So with my current grow I have 5 plants but I didn't do all feminized seeds this time..they are regular. I am about ready for flower now but I am trying to avoid clipping any clones from a plant that could possibly be male. Would it be possible for me to flip to 12/12 then cut clones as soon as...
If it's a feminized seed the only other thing it could be besides female is a hermie...but fyi this plant is not showing sex..continue to be patient my friend
What you posted in the pictures definitely looks like calyxes to me, def not balls. Give it some more time, you may not even find out 100% until you cut down the light cycle
Experiment. I hate to give a broad answer like that but there is really so many different growing methods, there is no one right way to grow well. As previously suggested, what you need to do maximize youre knowledge..learn new techniques and try different things. Ultimately only you will be...
You need to wait more time my friend..cannot tell from these pics. Sometimes they don't tell sex until you've flipped them to 12/12..it has happened to me a few times. Just keep being patient.
