good luck on your charge... Luckily NY does let some shit slide... I got caught with 37g at the canadian border and my lawyer (best 250.00 ever spent) got me off with a violation and a 250.00 fine...
Have you tried putting them directly in your grow medium to let them germinate that way? I have had almost 100% success from this; just think, no chance of damaging your delicate root hairs when transplanting them.. In about three days you have a sprout
For the advanced growers, sure anything will be fine, but for someone just getting into growing I would not suggest using advanced techniques... would you not agree?
Even a feminized seed can go herm on you. Stress from light, heat or from excessive abuse to the plant will all cause this. For real though, don't take clones in flower.. always in veg. :hump:
And you should let your friend know that cutting clones is best when done in veg state. You have completely jacked up the light cycle and you will be lucky if they don't hermi on you
you have clearly not grown much before... first advice... ditch the nutes!
secondly light is important AS IS darkness--veg = approx 16 hours lights on
flower = 12 hours
for veg, you will want 5000K mixed with 6500K lights (blues) run at 16-20hr on
for flower hold on to those 2700K lights (reds) run at 12 hours on
also it is spectrum I believe you are referring to.
