this seems to be the most common advice for germination. im new to growing things in general, but an experienced friend (gardener) tells me it's not normal to do this. anyone know why germinating on paper is better than putting seeds straight into soil/medium? Thanks

Hi Folks, my understanding is that autos like plenty room below to grow the main tap root, and the success of this root largely determines the success of the final plant (some generalisations, i know, but in an effort to get to the point...). has anyone found greater success using deeper than...

hi guys, i appreciate the safety first approach, and in all likelyhood that is what i will do. However, there is so much contradicting info out there. for example this site (http://www.colloidalworld.com/colloidal_silver_dosage.html) suggests taking 1 tablespoon per day orally, 50 ppm as a...

looking for a bit of scientific knowledge here! I misted 100ml of 25ppm Colloidal Silver over about 2 weeks and kept stunted plant in a semi dark cupboard for 2 more but no signs of pollen and fading signs of life. Im not going to smoke the plant as I suspect the silver within the plant could...

update / bump I found a spray at 25 ppm and gave her her first shower today. the plant is an Afghan Kush Ryder (auto) that had a rough time just after germinating and never got past 2 leaves on the ground for the first month. suddenly it found its feet and at 8 weeks its about 8 inches...

Hi, thanks for reading. I'm in my second year of growing on a small hobby scale. 2nd half of last year i germinated 5/6 seeds without really giving any thought to what i was doing, while this year i have only had 5/11 get above ground so far. i have been thinking about what i might be doing...

Hi Im looking at using colloidal silver to hermie a plant and hopefully harvest some pollen. i'd like to hear from people who have done this before. i've read that i need to use CS at minimum 30ppm,and also that once in contact with CS the plant cant be smoked. has anyone used the readily...

Hi thanks for reading. i started looking at LST because i have an auto sativa at seedling and i think it will outgrow my growspace. then i found out how effective it could be on autos, so i started training a blue cheese auto that is just hitting its growth spurt. I bent the top a little...

yeah, i've discovered that about MFLB. took a bit of time but i think i am getting it now. trouble is its the sort of thing thats almost impossible to describe to someone how to do properly! i dont burn or singe anymore, and i get a good even cook of the herbs. and although it takes forever...

lol, no im happy to pass on that aspect of bong hits, plus the bad breath, chest weezing, etc what i mean is can you take 1 hit then go sit down feeling happily toasted, or is it like the MFLB where you have to work at it for a while? I think i know the answer but before i pay out a weeks...

I am trying to get off smoking and bought a Magic Flight Launch Box portable vaporizer. although it works......eventually......i miss the 'impact' of a good bong hit. i find i spend 10 mins hitting the MFLB before i feel like i have had a toke at all. home vapes are expensive, but if i can...

i bought 3 Auto bubble and 3 Auto NL from female seeds. only 1 of the 3 NL germinated. i have 2 auto bubble at seedling stage. one seems ok while the other is struggling. i grew the third auto bubble to completion last year. it really struggled as a youngster even to stand up, but once it got...

Soil is J Arthur Bowers with added John Innes. dunno if that means anything to you, its a brand recommended by a fellow grower here in the uk. it started in a jiffy pellet and i repotted to a small pot after about 4 days. the roots still hadnt come through the bottom, but they had on the 2...

hi guys appreciate your advice on what i can/should do for this little guy. i think it had mould, or some kind of fungus (stem covered in tiny white 'hairs') when it first came up. you can see the bend in the stem. this is because it was almost dead and i propped it up with a stick. didn't...

Smoking is bad for your health, they keep telling us. Smokers are smelly animals who must be kept outside! Any tactics to enjoy the herb while blending in with the smoke free society? i have a crappy eagle bill vaporiser pipe, but considering an upgrade. any recommendations? also, made a...

My grow space (indoor) will probably be between 5 - 15 degrees C (approx 40 - 60F) this winter, and may get down close to freezing at times, so im planning to wind down my grow till spring. however, i heard about autos growing outdoor in Northern Finland, where they have long sunny days, but...

dude, im no expert grower, but ive smoked plenty in my time. im just finishing up my first grow of auto's, and the sample im smoking right now is as good as anything ive swapped for cash, and its not properly dried and cured yet. Point being, the genetics in autos now, i believe, are as good...

Thats a handy indicator. thanks!

here are some 'closeups'. sorry, about as close up as i can get on my phone cam. first 2 are of the top, the other 2 are lower down buds. i think i will cut it on Friday night. what do you guys think?

hi, I'd appreciate your opinion on this little lady. she is my first to reach harvest age...almost. i'm thinking about chopping in about a week to 10 days. would you agree? Thanks for your help!
