    Most reliable way to start new seeds?

    Thank you everyone for all of your helpful input. I’m sure these next seeds will work out well - I guess I’m lucky that I’ve gone this long without having lost any seedlings (until now). so I basically got a $40 lesson in not over soaking seeds (plus these Dinafem “Quick” seeds seem to develop...

    Most reliable way to start new seeds?

    I’m going to do it this way - directly into the soil in #1 pots - when I get the new seeds (sometime in the next few days). When I would plant new seeds after soaking them (in the past) I’d take a paper towel and soak it with water then once a day (or so) sort of drizzle it lightly around the...

    Most reliable way to start new seeds?

    So every time I start new seeds I drop them in water for like 48 hours or so until the radicle / taproot shows and then transplant them with tweezers to organic soil, buried about 1/2 inch deep and then put under 600w LED light for 24 hours, then switched to 18/6 light. This has always worked...

    6 days seedlings - not popping through

    I always start my grows by dropping my seeds into a cup of water then once the tap root shows transplanting via tweezers into small #1 pots of Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil (I make the hole about 1/2 inch deep). I then leave them under 600w Mars Hydro LED for 24 hours then switch to 18/6 lighting...

    Blue Dream: finger growths + mature popcorn buds - ready to harvest?

    That’s what I was thinking. Do you know what’s up with all those little finger-like growths are all about?

    Blue Dream: finger growths + mature popcorn buds - ready to harvest?

    I forgot to mention these are in soil and I stopped nutrients 3 weeks ago to flush it out but haven’t noticed any major signs of nutrient deficiency (I thought it would have been harvested by now). I actually added some fresh Fox Farms Ocean Forest soil (what I use for these) to help with any...

    Blue Dream: finger growths + mature popcorn buds - ready to harvest?

    I have 3 x Blue Dream plants (indoor, 600W LED) that I switched to 12/12 on June 15th (so like 14 x weeks ago) and then a week ago I switched it to 10 hours light/14 hours dark to speed maturation. Anyway most of the popcorn buds look ready to go (most white pistels have turned orange and...

    Partial harvesting / uneven plant maturity

    So for my first indoor grow I have three blue dream plants under a 600 watt LED that are in the 11th week under 12/12 My question has to do with harvesting and plant maturity - basically a lot of the buds - particularly the mid sized ones below the large main colas (I topped them all a few...

    looking for new strain recommendations

    hey so I’m looking for some recommendations on a strain to try growing next. my last grow was some sativa strains that even with topping and LST grew super high and I ended up losing some flower to light burn in my tent. I prefer sativas but this time I need something that doesn’t shoot up...

    Passive intake vents and light leakage - how much does it really matter?

    So you leave the vents open with the mesh for air flow?

    Passive intake vents and light leakage - how much does it really matter?

    So with a typical small (2’x4’x5’) grow tent (like the one I use) there are often these rectangular shaped vents (with fine mesh covering them and reclosable Velcro cover-flaps on the outside) near the bottom that are commonly used for passive air intake if you’re using an in-line fan system to...
