    Can I make a seed/seedling last 3 weeks without tending to it?

    Just wondering because I'm going away for 3 weeks and it would be awesome to have some new seedlings growing when I get back. I was thinking of using a fairly big plant pot and thoroughly watering the soil and then just place the seed with taproot in there. I'm hoping a big pot will have enough...

    Nearing harvest, leaves dying, but hairs not turning orange.

    I thought my plant had about a week or so to go after almost 50% of the hairs turned orange and the leaves started dying. However for the past week the leaves have continued to die, but their seems to be little or no progess in the buds. There's still plenty of white hairs on top and...

    Best way to control height for a plant thats vegged 8 weeks?

    Well I have a plant that I'm about to flower, but I'm worried that when it flowers it's gonna get too tall. Most methods I have seen for height control seem to apply to a lot younger plants and I'm not sure they will work on my 8 week plant. Would it be possible at 8 weeks to supercrop it? or...

    Putting my auto on 12/12 for its last week of flower?

    Well I have an auto that's gonna be done in 7-10 days. The problem is that I have another plant that was supposed to be auto, but it never auto'd. I'm going away for 3 weeks in 9 weeks time so I really need to get my other plant to start flowering if I want to have it done in time. Can...

    Fan leaves dying, unhealthy plant or time to harvest? PICS

    Well within the last week or so the fan leaves on my plant have started to turn colour and some are totally dying. I've read that this is fairly common during late flowering, but my plant has always looked super healthy until now. Could this be over-fert or something? Is it ready to harvest...

    So I've been growing 2 autos for 6 weeks now and one of them has been flowering for about 3 weeks. however the other has not auto'd at all. the one that hasn't auto'd is getting pretty big and if I don't try flower it soon then I'll have to chop it. I've been running the whole grow on 18/6...

    Placing lights underneath plants?

    Is it beneficial to place lights underneath a plant to get some light to the areas that don't get a lot? I'm growing in a fairly tight space and I'm worried about lower nodes not getting much light. Thanks

    Small grow area, but plenty of vertical room.

    I'm doing a small closet grow with 2 plants and I'm pretty limited for grow space, however I have almost 2m of vertical. Is there a way to grow my plants tall without branches stretching all over my grow space? Or some way of maximizing my yield for limited space? Both plants are 4 weeks old...

    Watering after transplant question

    I just transplanted my girls into their final pots and I'm wondering if I should water them right away or not? I gave them a good watering with nutes yesterday so they aren't in need of water but I know I should water them into their new pots. Should I do it right away, or wait a day until...

    Auto Northern Lights - 4 weeks and still no preflowers?

    Well I've been growing my Auto Northern lights for 4 weeks now and it still isn't even showing preflowers. I have a blue mystic that broke soil at the same time and it had preflowers at 2 and a half weeks and showed sex at 3. From what I've read it should only take around 3 weeks for this...

    Been vegging under the wrong spectrum. DOH

    ok so I bought myself two 45W 2700k cfls and two 45W 6500k cfls. stupidly I have been vegging my 2 autos under the 2700k and I realised today when I went to change over the lights I had been using them the wrong way round. My original plan was to veg under the 6500k and then add the 2700k...

    Finding it hard to tell when my plants need water

    ok so I have read everywhere, wait until the first 1/2 inches of your soil is dry. for me though this works out at only watering my plants every 4 to 5 days or longer. I just transplanted my plants into a bigger container after 12 days growth, I watered the pots with very light nutes until I...

    Getting Y bulb sockets in the UK?

    ok so I'm pretty sure these things don't exist in europe. my guess is nobody can be bothered to design one and get it past CE certification. so I bought some cheap ass ones on ebay and they took 20 days to get here from hong kong and they don't work for shit. plugged them into different lamp...

    Starting to think my setup is retarded. Need help.(pics)

    Ok so the space I have is 45cmx45cm and over 160cm tall. about 1.5ft square and over 5ft. I was thinking of only growing two plants in it and getting the 2 biggest pots I could to fit in. Although I'm now thinking that this is a bit of a retarded idea. I'm thinking the big pots will...

    Seedling fighting to break through

    So after 6 days my seedling finally broke soil, I checked it this morning and it looks as if it's struggling to break soil. It's in the shape of an upside down U with its head still in the soil. Should I wait patiently for it to try get out of there or should I try dig out a tiny bit of the...

    Best way to germinate?

    Everyone seems to have different opinions when it comes to germination. It seems the most common way is the paper towel method, but others prefer the shot glass method and yet I've seen threads with people swearing by putting the seeds straight into soil. So what really is the best method...

    Shot glass germ

    Ok so I was germing some auto blue mystic seeds with the shot glass method. Its been 2 days now and all 3 seeds have sunk, but none even show signs of cracking? what gives? I'm worried if I leave em soaking much longer they might start to rot? Should I wait it out in the shot glass or...

    Seed germinating really slow?

    Well it's been 2 and a half days since I first put my seed into a moist paper towel and since then it's been covered with a plate and on my windowsill. From what I have read I should have a seed with a fair sized taproot by now. My seed looks as if it has only just opened and there is no root...
