Hey guys, So my seeds just sprouted and broke through the soil. i was just wondering if i should put them on a 20/4 light schedule now or just keep the light on for 24 hrs. Which would be better for stronger healthier plant growth? also, if i do keep the lights on for 24 hrs, when should i...

Thanks man, all i needed to know.

Hey guys, So i planted my seeds last night at 3am. They are in 18 ounce solo cups full of Pro-mix potting soil. I was just wondering if i should put them under lights while the seed have not broke through the soil? or should i just add some heat to help the process/ increase the strength of...

I was actually thinking that i would just go back to Ace Hadware and pick up another light fixture and put in 2 3100k 40watt GE fuorescent tubes. I was also gonna get like 4 2700k bulbs and place them around the bottom of my grow box. I figured that would be enough light and cost roughly the...

Thats exactly what i was thinking. I dont really wanna spend any more cash that i dont have and HPS lights are expensive in more than one way. So if i just get a few extra lights i figured i'd be alright. thanks for the advice man. I get what you are saying but at 10cfl's a plant, i might as...

Hey guys, well i originally had a question about bulbs that i pretty much solved myself so i decided to edit my thread. Now i have a new question... Would two GE Fluorescent Plant and Aquarium lights be enough for a grow with two plants? and, Would the color temp they emit, 3100K, be OK for...

seeds are split, almost there baby. Sonar, you said you plant your seeds before the root comes out? Should i put them in now and put them in my little set up?

Ok first thing is first. I did not buy the right watt or size bulbs this morning cuz i was really tire from not sleeping too well but i returned the fixture and got one that is 40watts and takes t12 bulbs. Im still using the same bulbs i bought before (the 40watt 6500k t12s, they put out like...

Hey guys, so I just came back from the store and all I have to say is, Ace Hardware is the SHIT! Lol. Seriously though, they have an awesome selection of materials that I couldn't even find in the Home Depots or Lowes by me. So Sonar will be happy to hear that I bought the last 2 bags of...

So i can start my seeds in a two solo cups full of MG after it splits? but not during the actual life cycle of the plant? i thought MG was a bad idea because of all the fungus, bugs and nutrient issues. i would rather stay away from the stuff if its no good. But if you say you've used it to...

i hear you man, thats what im planning on doing too. i think im actually gonna go to ace hardware tomorrow to check out this pro-mix i that sonar has used. I think i might get some better results with something neutral like that. thanks again for your advice though, maybe after i get this grow...

yeah man, i figured that a safer choice in growing medium would be a lot easier on the plants/seedling. So you say you've grown this strain before? id be interested in talkin with you about a few things if you wouldn't mind. Mainly if the lighting i have chosen will be enough for two of these...

Oh I totally agree that both soils are fine in a sense that a plant can be grown in them. I just don’t have the knowledge or ability to counteract any problems I might encounter effectively. In my haste I forgot to think about the repercussions of using soil with a high PH and even though...

thanks man, i really do appreciate the advice. however, at this point, i am a little afraid of ruining two plants with the soil i have, thats why im considering playing hooky tomorrow to make a run to the Hydro store to get some better soil. It seems to me (although i have never grown mind you)...

also i have some perilite, but it is the MG brand so like everything else, it has nutrients already in it. I was unsure whether to add it to the solo cup full of soil i am going to use, but since it has some nutrients already mixed in i think i will hold off. so should i return the potting mix...

so how long do you put the soil in the oven for? ive heard that 200 degrees for an hour does the trick. and as for Ph of the soil, im actually not sure what it is. I really regret not having a PH test kit now, lol. But what can i do, other than try my best with what i have. Any opinions on the...

yeah, i did purchase the Organic potting soil instead of the garden. I was actually trying to decide between which to choose and i picked the potting soil cuz i felt it may somehow be easier on the seedlings. So this soil is a no go? i have some time, i can just run back to Home Depot and get...

Oh i did not know there were two different types of MG organic soil. I have the one in the orange bag that says it releases nutrient for two months. is this the one you were talking about/used?

word man, thanks for the advice. Any idea on how long it will take to germinate? I've heard as little as 24 hours and as long as 5 days. is it ok for me to take the moist paper towel out of the jar to check them, or is that a NO-NO?

Actually, the back of Scott's has no info other than the ingredients in the soil, and its pretty similar to the MG except it is top soil instead of potting soil. The miracle grow Organic potting soil does however contain said information. The N-P-K of the MG organic potting soil as found on the...
