Holy frigg'n canolie! I can't believe I just waded thru 2 pages of this young'uns public attempts to deal with his self esteem issues. Fuck oh dear man but I'm glad that my sense of self worth isn't dependent on convincing others that I'm the smartest most knowlegeable weed grower that walks...

John, You're welcome. And I wouldn't get to carried a way with feeding them or you'll end up with the opposite problem of fert burn'n them. I'd stick with what the label on the package recomends. And I hate to be the bearer of bad news but, if the plant you posted a picture of is...

Raven, Ever since I've first seen your avatar I've been waiting for you to start croaking "Nevermore" at one of these fools. I just can't help myself. Poe's, "The Raven" has always been one of my favorites. Jack And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the...

Guys, There's nothing wrong with MG potting soil. I've been growing in it for over 7 years. I had some problems at first but it was because of other things I was doing wrong and not the fault of the MG products. Your seedlings are going to do fine in it as long as you don't over water (a...

Garden, What are the NPK numbers of the "bio-bloom" and "green sensation" you mention? It's been my experience that you've got to be real careful in using to many different products during a grow because in an attempt to get a little more of one thing you can easily get to much of another...

John, That's a good idea. You should never let any container grown plant sit in standing water. Besides having drilled numerous extra drain holes in the bottom of my pots I also keep them blocked up a half inch off of the surface they sit on so that not only can they drip out freely after I...

John, It sounds to me like the plants used up all the available nitrogen in the soil and are now stealing it from the fan leaves. I grow in MG potting soil also and around about week 5 I start giving them some light doses of extra fertilizer so that doesn't happen. I'd go ahead and given...

sweet, MG potting soil works just fine. You just have to keep in mind that it's already got ferts in it and you can't go giving additional ferts to young plants that are growing in it. Another thing you need to realize is that once a leaf (or leaves) becomes discolored from over (or...

Terror, I've germinated hundreds of seeds (sucessfully) and this is the first I've ever heard of the pointy end or tap root "up" thing. When I was doing it directly in the soil (not soaking first) I just dropped them randomly in a 1/2" deep hole I'd poked in the soil with a pencil point...

Dirt, Good Lord man, take a deep breath (hold it, hold it) now exhale slowly. You've got to get yourself out of panic mode. There's only been around 5 hours between your last two posts and that's not enough time to base any decisions concerning different lighting on a plants growth on...

mud, I've never done any cloning and don't have seperate veg and flower areas so it sounds to me that jawbrodt will be the better mentor for you than my self. I've never tried any of these other techniques like scrog, fimming, lsting, etc. either so I can't really advise about them. About 2...

sweet, Yes that's exactly what you did wrong. A plant that small in MG potting soil doesn't need any extra fertilizer. I also grow in the standard MG potting mix (feeds 3/6 months) and my plants don't see any extra ferts until they're around 5 to 6 weeks old and then only very light...

mud, I like to use the standard MG potting mix that's had 10% perlite and 10% vermiculite added to it. As far as improving drainage and keeping the soil from becoming to compacted as the grow progresses, perlite and vermiculite perform equally as well. I like getting some vermiculite in the...

kato, Back 7 or 8 years a go when I first started out I was doing my veg under 24/0 lighting. I did a couple of crops this way and was kind of proud of myself for being able to do a grow in around 110 days (from seed in dirt). I was getting some fairly good smoke and thought I was getting...

Dirt, My seedlings spend the first two weeks of their life close up under (2 to 4 inches) a standard fluorescent shop light fixture before they get moved under my 400W MH. And I like to keep the temps between 65 to 75. At the higher temps you're talking about under a 400W MH that's 4'...
