    Do seeds from a feminized plant yield only feminized seeds?

    If that's the case then it would make no sense for me to flower to seed any of my plants as I would have to spend time and effort to weed out males from the seeds...thanks.

    My newbie 40 site cloner in a mini-tent...

    Setting up a new 40 site cloner/vegging mini-tent 30" x 18 x 36." Should I mother 3 plants or let them go to seed? Do I save about 4 weeks using clones over seeds?

    Do seeds from a feminized plant yield only feminized seeds?

    Here's the question which is really about clones vs. seeds. I have 6 plants from feminized seeds of 3 strains. If I keep 3 plants of the 3 strains and flower them to produce seeds, will these seeds also be feminized? Or do I have 50/50 chances of yielding feminine seeds from theses plants...

    'Woke up this morning and my tent was reeking with that smell. Oh no, I gotta get this fixed before wifey reads me the riot act. Dashed down to Home Depot to pick up some bungee cords and 4" duct and tape to set up my fan and charcoal filter: Ladies are growing rapidly now: Roots...

    Funny how life goes in circles. When you were a kid you had to hide your stash from the adults. Now as an adult, you have to hide your stash from the kids, haha!

    Too late, I fimmed the plants last night! I think also my clones are taking as they are not wilting after a week. Another week and I will transport them into a cloner spray mini-tent for a week and try to flower them with the smaller plants, keeping the 3 healthiest for mothers. I have 3...

    All better now. All the new growth is nice and green. pH is at 5.8 with nutes at 535 ppm. I will be gradually increasing to 700 ppm as my target . i think I should be FIMing now. I'm going to see if my clones establish roots and in a couple of weeks go into 12/12 while keeping the 3...

    I'm not only doing a DWC. My sprayers are oxygenating the water more than air stones ever could. I'm looking into a wave maker to stir up the nutrients and keeping the reservoir water moving...but I appreciate your input. http://www.uk420.com/boards/index.php?showtopic=263773

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    No, I'm not using any air stones. I've read that air stones really don't add to the oxygenation of the water supply which is more dependent on agitation of the tub surface area as the water droplets hit the surface and colder water temperature carrying more oxygen. 20 Mule Team Borax is...

    Ok, flushed and cleaned the system and reservoir tub. There was hardly any sediment. Refilled with Brita filtered water at 6.6 pH and 170 ppm. Flushed the roots for 1 hr, added AN Sensi Grow A + B to 230 ppm, pH stable at 6.6, will add pH down.

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I have never calibrated the pH meter, just bought it off Amazon. I just check my tap water is pH 7.3, 197 ppm. Brita filtered tap water is pH 6.3, 165 ppm. I initially stcked the reservoir with Brita filtered water. When I had the pH 4.0 dive lockout, I diluted the reservoir probably 65%...

    Yeah, I had some issues but the new growth looks better so I'm hoping it's behind me at this juncture. Time will tell.

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I haven't added any nutes in the last 7 days and still my ppm inches up to 850 with pH 5.8. Day 27 - I have taken my first clones from the lower branches: Should I be topping now?

    Does my powdered pH down affect my ppm reading?

    I have an aeroponic large Rubbermaid tub set up. I haven't been adding any nutes as my ppm reading has been inching up to 800. To knock my pH reading from 6.2 down to a 5.7, I add powdered pH down to a cup of mix from my reservoir. I mix it up before adding it to my reservoir. My ppm reading...

    First Grow with 300W Advanced Platinum LED Grow Light

    I had never increased my nutes above 700 ppm. I'm thinking that the 900 ppm reading was affected by the powdered pH down, then up and then down again chemicals that I added. Although I do think I had a nute lock out situation when my pH dropped to 4.0 for 7 hours before i could rescue it...
