    New Hydroponics growing

    I have been buying Feminized seeds from Nirvana[/URL], ]Hemp Depot[/URL], and ]Attitude[/URL] seed bank. These are all good. Nirvana has the best service, and if you have any problems, they will address them with you. Starting a hydro grow of Snow White. This should be good. Here is a picture...

    seeds keep getting stunted, rapid rooter?

    Hello I am having a lot of trouble getting my seeds to grow. I can get them to germinate quickly, but out of the last 25 I planted two weeks ago in Root Riot cubes, only six popped up. Two are about three inches long with only the top leaves. The other four are small, and stopped growing. I only...

    Sprouting Seeds

    I am starting 19 feminized Snow White seeds. This will be my first grow doing the "Hempy Bucket" system. They all germinated in 36 hours. I placed them in Root Riot cubes in the propagation tray. I had one pop overnight. It is growing fast. This will be saved for a Mother plant. Then 6 more...

    Growing From Seed

    That is how I do it. Just wasn't sure if I should turn on the lights right away, or wait until they sprouted. I have been reading that some people suggest complete darkness after planting until the first leaves break ground. Thanks

    Growing From Seed

    I have lost a lot of feminized seeds. Some people say to germinate and plant the seeds and keep them in the dark until the first leaves break through. Others say to germinate, and plant seeds and put under CFL's immediately. Which is it??? TIA

    Pollination

    On my last grow, I had a hermie in my grow box and I didn't catch it until I was drying the plants. There were 18 feminized Mazar plants. Does anyone know how long the pollen will stay potent because I am starting a new Aurora Indica grow with feminized seeds, and need to know if I have to use...

    Seed Starting

    I use equal parts of Sphagnum, Vermiculite and Perlite. I always have good luck with this mix and never have any bugs. I don't think it was the seeds.

    Seed Starting

    I usually don't have any problems growing plants from seeds. I germinated 20 feminized Aurora Indica seeds from Nirvana. I soaked in water for 24 hours, and then put them in paper towels with a heat pad under them. I was sick for three days, but my wife kept the paper towels damp. The tap...

    Overheating Plants

    Maybe you can call the manufacturer and see if they have any ideas for you to try. You can't be the first guy to plug in his box and see the temps go through the roof. Since the cab uses CO2 you can get away with elevated temps but over 100º isn't good... Peace!:cool: I called them and was...

    Overheating Plants

    My plants are in their fifth week of flowering. My grow box has been getting over 110* for the past week. The plants were fine then all of a sudden the tops where the colas are, are turning brown. I finally got an ac unit hooked up but some of the plants look like they might die. I have been...

    Lighting During Flowering

    I have a question about keeping a 200 watt CFL on with my two 400 watt HPS lights. Does having the CFL light running at the same time as the HPS have any effect on the buds? Would it be better to just use the HPS lights during flowering? I am into my fourth week of flowering and just thought...
