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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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!

the breeders notes for the autos im growing recommends reducing the light period in the final weeks of flowering. I have plants of different ages under a constant 18/6, so im doing this by removing the plant from the grow room in the evening and retuerning it in the morning. while the lights...

should i move the plants into darkness? if so for how long? also, should i stop watering? and if so, how long before harvest. Anything else? Big thanks!!

i tried a few methods of quick drying small buds but found the one below to work pretty well. its posted on another forum, so thought i would share here. * i will say now that, or course, quick drying does not do the weed justice, tastes shit and is less potent than slow dried weed* However...

my 2 older plants (61 days) and my youngest, stunted plant (18 days), are showing purple branches. i have the following problems which might be relevant: i overfed the older ones and burned very slightly, but the younger has not been fed at all yet, only nutes in soil. it is getting colder...

This yellowing and speckling is only on this leaf and its opposite on the other side. above and below are green and healthy. i know the tip bottom right is burnt from touching the light, but the leaf on the opposite side has not been near the light. any ideas why these leaves are having problems?

im toying with ideas... downside of coco seems to be tendancy to dry out easily. could coco/ worm castings sustain capillary feeding for effective growth? appreciate any thoughts thanks

Fox Farms Ocean Forest seem to be the only soil anyone recommends online, but its not available in the UK anywhere i can find. Can any UK growers give me a heads up on decent soil? im using miracle grow just now. haven't harvested yet but seem to be coming on ok. would mixing in some perlite...

My 2 firstborn are 6 weeks old today. As a new father im keen to ensure they are happy and their needs are met (before i chop them up and burn their bodies...) I fed them baby bio in weeks 3 and 4 and a flowering feed in week 5. also 'Ace of Buds' (free sample with my lights) since week 4. Im...

Trying to figure out the best method, so i'd welcome any views. my first 2 plants i started off in small pots and replanted after about 2 weeks. they are almost 6 weeks now and seem to be doing ok. my setup was pretty shit but they are about 50 - 70 cm and flowering nicely (especially with my...
