    seeds won't pop

    For almost 2 decades, I've stored every seed, auto and photo, in my frig and germ straight to medium ...100% germ. Moisture and heat mat on 80F are essential. Nothing else required but patience. While you may see some success with paper towels, it seems handling increases failure rates.

    Vanilla Frosting Harvest Advice?

    TB Vanilla Frosting was a fav among recent grows....sorry for your outdoor experience as my indoor grow was quite fragrant. It kept up with the rocbuds and mephistos grown alongside. Don't remember the days it took but I usually harvest milky/amber mix. The more amber, the more sedation for some...

    Seedlings

    I start every seed, auto and photo, in 12 oz solo cups of BB light Mix and transplant into 3ltr air pots at 3 weeks....with couple decades of success with it, I've had no reason to change.

    Plastic or Fiber Pots

    Being a 'bonzai' style grower, I've used plastic and fabric but the simplest is an air pot. Easy to handle.

    Best (strongest) auto for Armoire grow?

    Having grown autos and photos together perpetually for 20 years, I now grow 90% autos as I found autos becoming as good as most photos. Yes, that means everything always on 12/12. NO where does it ever say autos require anything, only that they can handle it. Get parameters right and yeilds...

    Watering?

    I know there's other products that'll help , but a little soap in your water is an easy adjustment. A cheap and simple moisture meter will give you a much better idea of moisture in the root zone.

    Somethings up with seedlings

    They look fine. I start every seed under T5 in solo cups of BBLM also and transplant when leaves reach the side of the cup. Careful with watering as the roots need to be searching...leaves will tell ya when they need moisture...they can handle a drought much better than a flood.

    How to bring out the purple?!?

    As mentioned previously, while purple is pretty to show and tell, The potency doesn't seem to carry over into that color. Fastbuds Purple lemonade was the most purple ever consistently but potency didn't match the beauty.

    light cycle

    12/12 does well with autoflowers as long as dli/ppfd is in spec. You'll like the reduced care costs.

    Forget the pause and go full blast 12/12.

    Light 12/12 or 18/6

    Personally, I veg every plant, auto and photo, 24/0 under T5HO for 3 weeks. Then all are moved to a bloom area under 12/12 assorted led. Keep dli/ppfd in spec and it's all good. After running this way perpetually for over 15 years, I'm about to figure these damn weeds are worth smoking!

    Best way to light a 4' x 6' space?

    I veg in a separate area and move at 3 weeks to a bloom area. I suggest several smaller lights so you'll have adjustment for different plants. For years, I've run separate lights and now have several 100-150w lights that I rotate throughout my perpetual grow. Yes light quality is certainly a...

    Rocbudinc

    I must admit I do buy all the hype about Roc but I can also say, the freebies I've run have equalled the potency of his 'named' strains.

    Rocbudinc

    Rocbud.....has been 75% of my perpetual auto grows for couple of years. I've had 100% germ on every seed, freebies too. Quality genetics. I was once a Fastbuds addict but Rocbud gets most orders now.

    The Highest You've Ever Been....

    1972...we had to hide to smoke pot and it was usually brickweed but a friend said he had some 'special' stuff so several of us met up bout a mile from town under a river bridge. 4 of us Smoked about a oz of the 'special' stuff and we all found we could barely walk, much less drive back to town...

    First time grower - watering question

    Seems no one wants to sound more newb and suggest a moisture meter but I will. With over watering and lack of understanding, a simple moisture meter will at least give you something to go by....ya gotta know what's happening in the root zone and finger sticks don't do that. Even though I grow...
