Do you put the rapid rooter into the net pot until the taproot pops or are you or leaving it in the paper towel until the taproot pops?
Peace.

I'm debating whether or not to spring for the glass enclosed reflector hood or no glass. Is the only reason for the glass to dissipate heat? I'm using my 2" - 4 bulb T-5 HO's for the seedlings. My vegetative lamp will be a 400W MH. I'm just wondering if heat will be a problem. My flower lamps are going to probably be 2 600W HPS. My room is 12' x 12' and well ventilated. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you.

yeah im pretty sure they have to be ripe and close to splitting to get the best results. but it doesnt take that much depending on how much you plan on pollinating.thats what I thought but I couldnt find it on here useing the search button, I thought that they fixed. Do they have to be ripe and open or just small. I would think ripe and open bunch of balls.
Thanks whysohigh

I've had the peat pots in the veg unit for a couple of hours. I noticed the peat pots retain a lot of water. Looks like too much. Is there a risk of over watering using the one minute on 5 minutes off? Should I lengthen the off time. I also have the T-5's as close as possible. Water temp 65 degrees, air temp 75 degrees, humidity 45%. Thanks again.Jagermaster

HOW IRONIC! I just came in from the flower room where the 2 sour diesel plants i have going on week 4 have just about completely blocked out half of a flower unit and one whole light.
YA KNOW WHAT I DID?
I tossed out the 14 i have in veg that were supposed to go in tonight! I cant have these plants blocking out all the light...not to mention they will take forever to finish....I just wish i could somehow yank these two in there now. maybe i will just cut them in half? so the rest of the plants can get some light. is this possible?
The good news is i have some blueberry that are 4-5 inches that i put into the veg unit. I will give them a week then flower.
the headband, green crack blueberry and sfv kush all seem to be comparible in size...so that is cool!
be gone sour D!!!!

Try this Andyman: https://www.rollitup.org/advanced-marijuana-cultivation/20319-seed-production-tutorial.html I have also seen the mature branches cut just before the pollen sacks open and placed with their stems in water in abowl on a table. When the sacks open the pollen falls on the table and is collected for later use. Store in a small glass bottle or small piece of folded paper. When you are ready to pollinate separate the female plant from the rest of the females and use a wetted small paint brush to "paint" the pollen onto a lower branch or 2. I have also put pollen in a paper bad and tied the lower branch inside the bag so the pollen doesnt get out. Also you may want to wash the branch off before you put the plant back with all the other females. Hope this helps.

Here is how I did just what you guys are talking about last year. Look at post 6 and you will see pics.

Yes, just put the RR plug in the net pot and into the cloner. In about 3-4 days you will have a plant big enough to put into a collar and a net pot.
Keep your lights at a normal distance.

i'm with ya all the way on this one stink, i wish we could do this in texas - the island i live on pretty much doesn't care about marijuana unless ur blatantly obvious about it - i have about 12 going right now, germinated about a week ago and are already about 4" and getting their second set of real leaves - i should pinch the second set of leaves right?

It's also a safety issue. I one drop of water hits a hot bulb it will explode and send glass everywhere! Little pieces of glass will end up all over your plants and room.
Glass is also is needed if you want to seal your room so you can run CO2.

I had some Shishkaberry that did the same thing. One day I got so pissed I just went in and topped the fuck out of the plant.
Damn if I still didn't end up with 2oz. from the plant!

No, just leave them alone for awhile. I would wait at least 4-5 sets of leaves before topping.
Some plants work well when you top them.

thanks stink, i've always pinched the 2nd set to make 'em short - i had a strain of i dunno what but i had about 80 females that grew one single bud all the way to the top and they were from seeds. ended up about 3ft tall and took about 4-5 months OUTDOOR. i used miracle grow, super bloom, cow shit, fish emulsion, root stimulator (not in that order obviously) and water everyday - a hell of a lot of work but well worth it in the long run. i even had a lab-pit bull that would "help" with the harvest...seeing these pics totally reminded me of that, i had a full-on flashback and was smelling the buds, it was weird - wake-n-bake....

Thank you. Any worry's about the peat pucks being over saturated? Root damage?

I have some experience with Rapid Rooters and lettuce seeds. When I first started from seed it seemed like keeping them so wet was just begging for troubles but it all worked out fine. I tried backing the watering way back to 15 minutes a couple times a day and then everything in between as I slowly moved them up to 1 min/5 min and the plants just didn't care.
I found that the key was keeping the seedling's top half very dry. That is the most important part. Use a nice tight fighting neoprene insert and you are fine - it seemed to me you could pick any watering schedule then and it's all good.

this is just a reminder people, be safe with your equipment and don't overload your circuits, keep water away from equipment, and if there is a fire, better get that shit before it makes damage where you would have to call the fire department!
whoever lived at this residence might be in some serious shit. so keep your shit on the down low and keep smokin!
ps sorry to hijack the thread for a sec, but i just wanted to point out that we need to stay vigilant and safe.
