    Germinating - Paper Towel Method

    the scuffing works well and should be done, however germinating in paper towels is a bad idea all together. while yes it does work, the small seed with a tiny tap root exposed can stick to the wet paper towel and become damaged once pulled from the cloth. leaving it more vulnerable to infection...

    Imitating a drought before harvest

    using a green bulb would work or simply turn the lights out and use a flashlight. Cut them down and trim in another room with good lighting.

    Putting Clone Back Into Veg?

    no its not that simple. in order to successfully switch a plant beack to veg and then vice versa takes at least six weeks each way. it is also highly not recommended for increased likeliness of turning hermaphoditic.

    Purple Maxx

    i agree. i have used the gravity, bushmaster, and purple maxx, and the best advice is if you choose to use them go light and be careful. the bushmaster is just sea kelp extract and while highly concentrated i have always liked. Still all of these products can burn the hell out of your plants...

    I'm cloning some Somango right now and while i am experienced in growing organically, havent fine tuned my cloning skills.
