    Autoflowering strain not flowering after 7 weeks

    It's a "Lady Gargar" (I know, I know, but I like to try new strains) auto feminised, which I bought from here: http://www.autoflowering-seeds.co.uk/ They don't stock this particular strain any more, which is perhaps ominous in of itself. I've engaged in LST for the first time, and it's a big...

    120w LED lights - how can I gauge the quality?

    I Googled them and I'm not convinced by the technology they use, nor the price they charge for it. I've read mixed reports.

    Autoflowering strain not flowering after 7 weeks

    I've got a plant which, after 7 weeks, shows so sign of flowering. In my n00b brain this sounds decent and suggests it will be a great yield, but a friend said that because it's auto that means something is up and I should induce by changing to a 12/12 cycle. I've done 24/0 from seed to now...

    120w LED lights - how can I gauge the quality?

    ^ wow, that 240w LED looks great value! Just a shame it's in the USA (I'm based in London) as that adds an extra $60 shipping, and then customs will probably tax it to the tune of another $40-60. And then there's the power converter. Had to buy one for the Aerogarden at the cost of around...

    120w LED lights - how can I gauge the quality?

    How much did that cost you? Was it an eBay thing?

    120w LED lights - how can I gauge the quality?

    I'm using standard Aerogarden Deluxe lights atm, which will need to be replaced. Rather than waste cash importing them from the USA, I think I may opt for a 120w LED. I know very well they are considered expensive, but I don't tend to throw money around regularly, so I don't mind making a...

    Newbie requires advice on super silent intake/extractor fans

    I'm just using the standard bulbs which comes with it: 3 x 27w CFL (AFAIK) It's not so much for getting rid of heat, but getting ride of the smell. I was considering getting an LED, but have been warned off doing so on here.

    Newbie requires advice on super silent intake/extractor fans

    I've never used any sort of fan system before, so have little experience at all. I'm planning on building my own carbon filter, as detailed here: https://www.rollitup.org/do-yourself/58871-2-minute-cheap-easy-carbon.html I'm using the Aerogarden Deluxe, inside a Hydrolab tent (120cm x 60...

    Are the standard Aerogarden Deluxe bulbs the only ones it will take naturally?

    I should buy some new bulbs now, but they seem quite limited and weak for the price. So I'd rather get something native which will give me more bang, or perhaps consider buying different lighting/replacing whole hood using the cash I would have otherwise spent on the poorer AG-branded ones...

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    I just searched for rapid rooters and they appear to be soil. Is that right? Cause that won't go with my hydro system. I think I'm doing something wrong, as last time they worked great in a poorer grow medium (bog-standard Aerogarden foam). I've made it warmer in the room now, but still only...

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    Interesting... I'll have to Google places which sell them in the UK. Thanks for the tip! I was perhaps mistaken when I thought the switch from crappy foam to rockwool was the big improvement. Meh.

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    I've never heard of rooter plugs. Are they suitable for hydro? I heard or something similar sounding for soil. Yeah, I've read about filing seeds before, but I also read people saying they've just chucked them in soil and it's worked 99% for them for 20 years etc. etc., so I think there's a...

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    I bought from Everyonedoesit.com, and herbiespicknmixseeds.com, plus another place, whose name escapes me.

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    All the seeds have bio-dome things on top of their pods too.

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    Yeah, I don't think it's the seeds. It's got to be something I'm doing. I don't smoke at all, so it's not nicotine. I use a Volcano vape for "toking", so there's not even a remote chance. Having gone straight for the rockwool myself (after 12hrs/24hrs in the shot glasses), I was hoping that...

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    I've had them above the water heater, and even on top of the Aerogarden lighting hood, which is really warm (I wrap in a cover so the heat isn't direct). I store the damp paper towel and seeds in one of the air-tight 420 jars. I've now again changed the paper towel to stop mould/musty smell...

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    If the seeds produce a tiny sprout root, is that still potentially "bad seeds", or does that only apply if they don't pop at all?

    Seeds won't germ/tiny sprouts after 4 weeks and multiple methods

    This is my second grow, and it's using the Aerogarden Deluxe. First grow yielded 4 very decent plants, but many lessons were learned and this time I've got a better grasp of the life-cycle. I started with all seeds in shot glasses, and soaked until they sank upon tapping. I next put them...

    Transplanting LED lights into the AG

    Thanks for the info. It's "not worth it" as in the multiple bulb option is more efficient, or just that the improvement isn't worth the cash? I'd rather have one really good LED main light than have other bulbs all over the place, tbh. I'm trying my best to keep it as one unit, and not have...
