I work at a hydro store, and I always recommend soil for beginners. Even if they're really hung up on going hydro right out of the gate. I still have to sell them whatever they decide that they want, but I atleast tell them I think they should get a soil under their belts first. One other...

http://www.physicalgeography.net/fundamentals/8m.html They explain perched water tables and what causes them at that link. I don't understand how hydrotron would act as an impermeable layer to cause a perched water table.

Ditto. Going from the pic those looks like calyxes.

That's a matter of debate for some growers. You won't have problems going with either one the whole way through. Still.. which one will provide the best end result? You're going to have to make an educated guess. My mentor ran 24/0 for veg every time with good results. I'm now running 18/6...

.. I've never seen anything THAT small... make sure to update. Best of luck.

Subbed. Love before and afters.

I voted go. Get your meds, chill out at the house, devote the rest of your day to improving your grow or pursuing a personal interest instead of sitting thinking about how you're out and debating the wait for the ride. Time not wasted, is time not missed.

Definitely block the light from coming through the sides of the container. The first set of leaves are called the cotyledon. Gently remove the shell; the seedling will push it off eventually anyways it'll just use more energy to do it without your help. Looks fine. That sometimes happens...

Very informative thread. Threads like this are great for me, because I take what I can from the thread itself and read up on the topics elsewhere also. Thanks to everybody who contributed. + rep for spl1 and Uncle Ben.

The things I read while trying to kill time at work.. lol Not much to be said except that clip of chappelle is priceless, and Soupy is a cutie. I've heard similar stories from plenty of women (and some men.. let's not front guys lol) that I've known in real life. Quit offering advise for most...

That's what I keep reading. I have autos going myself. With the first 9 I started them in party cups and just transplanted them into their final pots last night. With the ones that I'm planting now I'm going straight into their final pots.

I've seen 16oz come from one bagseed of an unidentified "kush" strain. It had one 1000w on it for a month of veg and six or six and a half weeks of flower. Another 1000w added to the side for the remaining three weeks or so. In a DWC with lucas (I think it was lucas. Can't remember if that was...

I soak mine in a cup of water until the tails start to pop out. Then I sow them.

Sounds good Round. Keep us updated on how it's going. 6 less intense lights would have covered my room a lot better. Later I'm going to put two more 1000's in though. Figured I'd just rotate them for now to make sure they get equal amounts of light.

Thanks for the advice. I saw pics in the uvb thread where they yellowed like you're saying at first. I think I'm going to start them off farther away and build up to having them where I want them. Don't want to stress the babies because autos have such a short life span. I know how much of an...

Thanks for the advice sixteen. I read your posts about the pot sizes too. That was also helpful. Yeah ThatGuy I knew there had to be, I just haven't seen any journals or threads in the auto section yet, and haven't had enough time to dig through all the old forums yet. I was talking to...

I know that it can be done, but I'm against cloning after flower starts. It also makes no sense to clone a true auto-flowering plant, because the life cycle is too short. The time it would take it to root, recover from the shock, and start growing again your end result wouldn't be worth your...

I've read most of the threads in the new auto-flower section now, and I can't help but notice that most of the auto grows I'm seeing are done with either t5's or 400w H.I.D. My question is: Has anybody ran auto's under more intense lighting? With CO2? I'm seeing 20-35g's per lady is a good...

I would also like to see some input from experienced outdoor growers on this topic. No guerilla growers though. I am legal and don't care if my plants are seen. That obviously changes my priorities.

Hopefuly you've already fixed this problem, but a swamp cooler isn't the best solution. I see a pic of a grow in what looks like a tent to me. You could have just mounted through the side of the tent and exhausted the heat put into the room outside the tent with a cardboard box, duct or foil...
