    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    Those look magnificent! I am only doing one plant out of a time for now, I got 100 watts of 2700K for flowering and like 72 watts for vegging. Its a scarce amount, but its a start. I have a question for you though, what is coir? I really would like to go that same direction in preventing any...

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    I had just heated up the heating pad on Low to check how hot it gets, and it gets way too hot.. Hotter than the cable box. My room already is kind of warm if I keep all my fans / window A/C off. My bedroom was built on to the house, so it has no vent ducting. I'll just keep her in the closet...

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    I'm growing with CFL's so I doubt that will give it warmth through that thick cup.. But what I do have is a heating pad I could put on like the lowest setting and set the cup on that. You think it's worth a shot?

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    Thank you for this tip! I am going to go ahead and give this one a few days to see how well she comes along. If no success I'll try your method. The first seed I did a 6 hour soak, someone had recommended on a forum saying that 24 is not required.

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    Yes, that rockwool has been pH treated in water. I will go ahead and push it all the way in there and leave it alone. I appreciate the help very much! I am hoping I have success in this attempt! :bigjoint:

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    Okay, for now it will just stay in my closet in that cup for 3-5 days. I'll check it on day 3, and if no true leaves I'll leave it till day 5. I'm going to try and not tamper with it. It is my first "Real" grow, so you can probably see where I'm coming from when I say I want to see the thing...

    Germination Help? Can't seem to get by the first step!!

    Couldn't have been worded better. I am going to put the seed in the RW now, the RW has been soaked in pH 5.8 water for a few days now so it's definitely ready. Should I leave the actual shell of the seed above the whole of the rockwool? Or put it inside the rockwool? After that I will put in a...

    Arghh, browning on tips.

    Maybe it's from not enough nutes.. or water pH, I have no idea. I'd recommend picking up some good nutes like foxfarm, advanced nutrients, or general hydroponics. FoxFarm has a perfect feeding schedule right on the label of the bottle! Hope you resolve your problem ASAP. Cheers! :bigjoint:

    Clay Pellet Substitute? Boiled marbles? Curious.

    Yes, I understand where your coming from. I'm keeping a close eye on pH and I have fans, and fish pump to keep the res well aerated. Can you explain to me how I can use peroxide to keep sterile? Never heard about using it as an additive. Do I just pour a tiny bit of store bought hydrogen...

    Clay Pellet Substitute? Boiled marbles? Curious.

    Thank you very much! Very informative! I actually happen to have some styrofoam packing peanuts from a glass bong I had ordered online. I most likely will give that a try. :leaf:

    Clay Pellet Substitute? Boiled marbles? Curious.

    As sterile as I can would be the goal. Will be my first grow so I would like to make it as smooth as possible for a first runner up. Willing to go through trial and error, but wish to avoid most of the error part. :bigjoint:

    Clay Pellet Substitute? Boiled marbles? Curious.

    Awesome to hear there are some alternatives. Thanks for the tip! By the way, do these come pre-sterilized? Or would I have to bake them in the oven for a little while to sterilize? Thanks!

    Clay Pellet Substitute? Boiled marbles? Curious.

    Hey everyone, I'm doing my first grow. Northern Lights AutoFem from Nirvana. I'm doing it hydro, and am on a lowcost budget. I have everything I need except clay pellets. My hydro store only sells big bulk bags and I don't need that much at all. I have some glass marbles at my house. Wondering...
