You could start them out 3 inch pots filled with coco,thats what i do. You can also get coco cubes, the same as rockwool except made of coco. I just think it would be easier for you if you used the same medium all the way through on your first grow, less likely to run into any problems.

If you're growing in coco why are you using rockwool for seedlings & clones? you can use coco for that as well.

Nah dude, go with HPS, you'll smash your yields. :peace:

Lol, wtf are you talking about? Its only illegal for what we are using them for just as using CFL's is illegal to grow weed. Tens of thousands of UK growers use HPS all year round as well as it being used legally in other industries & btw 250w of HPS will only cost slightly more than 250w of...

I cant answer all your questions but iv read that technically it is possible to clone auto's but its not practical in any sense, the clones would need to be kept under very cold temps to stop them from flowering,iv read elsewhere of a few people trying it but giving up because it was way too...

Coco has no nutritional value so you are going to have to start feeding after 5 days or so,iv never used biobizz but i would start with a quarter strength of what it says on the bottle & work your way up. Best way to track your humidity is to buy a cheap hygrometer. Im in the UK & they cost me...

The latest iv topped before flower has been 8 days & it wasn't nearly as successful as my usual 14 days, others may disagree but if i didnt have anytime to let them recover from topping before flower then i wouldn't bother at all & maybe think about LST instead.

Hey guys, iv being growing in coco hempys for the past year with great results but im looking for an alternative to perlite to use in the res, im thinking of using rockwool & i know its been covered in this thread. Ive got a few questions in my head about it & instead of going over it again is...

Growing in coco is growing hydroponically.

I still dont understand why not. I adjust my PH to 5.6 & i have almost 100% success rate, been doing it that way for years. Threres no reason why you cant start seeds in coco :peace:

They're not stupid questions. Like i said in the above post i start off with forumlex, great for seedlings & clones. Are you planning on getting an ec & ph pen? you can get away without a ec stick/pen if you are hand watering but you're definitely going to need a ph pen. If you have no ec stick...

Why not? Not having a go, just curious. I always start my seeds in coco with a very high success rate. My tap water comes out with no ec reading so i give the 0.2 ec of formulex when they pop up gradually building up to 0.6 over the next few weeks. Always works for me.

Its still a problem but only on the MW/AM radio so it could cause you & your neighbours an issue but i wouldn't have thought too many people listen to the radio that way nowadays.

Looks very tasty,what strain is she?

Iv been using a Lumatek ballast this year, different model from the one you posted, not had any probs with it. I would be wary of using a ballast as cheap as the first one. Not saying theres anything wrong with it but at that price it almost seems to good to be true.
