I found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow

Fair enough! Have you ever done a side by side with the same genetics? IME the only time that holds true is if the rootbase wasn't well established enough for the upsize or the new large pot was oversaturated. It seems for me that by the time they are ready to transplant the second time, the...

Nice, those tall ones work pretty well to start in. I used them before I compared them to 1 gals. I stuck with 1 gal through the years and find they are big enough to have an established rootbase that can handle any upsize. I've found IME the least transplants the better. From 1 gal straight to...

Thank you! I know right, these know-it-all's seem to feel like its directed at them LOL I broke it down so a first timer could read this and know exactly what to do to get great results. I'm sure most of these people saying "duh put seed in soil" had issues/experiments with germination at one...

Do you use plugs or solo cups to start? Or from one to the other? If using solo cups I hope you use the tall ones. Not sure if you have yet, but I encourage a side by side of your usual start size and something bigger/deeper such as a 1 gal pot. The seedling's taproot is obstructed in anything...

That's what I like to hear! Experimenting is how we all learn. Let us know how it goes If you are worried about wasted space/resources and are unsure if your beans are viable, you can always leave them in the water until you see the tail peaking out. The seeds remaining are usually duds :blsmoke:

Wut due u meen wut?

That's basically what I do, but full saturation can be too much sometimes depending on temps/pot size/genetics

Sounds like an extra step/product to me! My experience with rooters(or any small pot) is stunted seedlings. Have you ever done a side by side with say a 1 gallon? I encourage it, let the seeds touch water at the same time :blsmoke:

They should all finish before the end of October. Watch for the buds to swell and look "frostier" as they do when all of the trichomes are milky :blsmoke:

Some strains finish in 6-8 weeks LOL

Nitrogen toxicity and possible moisture stress. Too much nute can burn root hairs causing both. Cut back on the strength/frequency of feedings and add some more airflow if you don't have much :blsmoke:

LOL a shot glass can actually help speed things up and ensure the seed is fully saturated without oversaturating your medium, but the paper towel method is one of the most popular misguided practices taught Along with flushing and defoliation :blsmoke:

Leach regularly to avoid salt build up. Pre harvest flushing is bro science The plants naturally use less food at these later stages of flowering, so reducing feedings is a good idea regardless if you flush or not to avoid toxicities.

Seed to soil is the way to go. The presoak just speeds things up, ensures the seeds start the process, and I find the seeds all pop soil more uniformly or around the same time. I dont think you'll go back after you start in those taller pots! Since I compared myself many years ago, I've always...
