    whats the best way to germinate your seed???

    I just use a clean white paper towel that has been soaked in distilled water, wrung out and folded over the seeds, all inside an oven bag full of air. Keep it in a warm and dark place, ideally about 80 degrees F . Two days later, viola! legs.

    nitrogen defeciency? overwatering? help!

    Overwatering and nitrogen deficiency show the same kinds of symptoms. Your best bet would be to let the soil in the pot go dry, dry enough so that the container is as light as a feather. Then readjust your nutrient regimen.

    Clone starting to yellow and curl down..whats the problem??

    Yeah, but your talking about watering them AGAIN. At this point it would appear that watering would do more harm than transplanting them. Yeah- they looked THAT overwatered.

    is THIS stretching?

    The distance between nodes is noticable halfway up the plant, which signifies that the light was too far about a week ago, assuming the plant is a few weeks old.

    need some help for my plant. light is a problem

    The plants aren't getting enough light, and the pots are too small. You should be able to keep the light at most TWO feet away without burning the leaves, meaning you should have good ventilation. It looks like the plants have been growing for a while How old are they? The stems are thick...

    Clone starting to yellow and curl down..whats the problem??

    Hello. How heavy is the four gallon container? My guess is plant moisture stress. The plant looks overwatered. For a clone that is popping roots out of rockwool plug, I highly recommend planting in a 75/25 mix of perlite and soil, respectively, in a large disposable plastic cup. (make sure...

    400W or 600W

    Heat from 600w easy to control-not much worse than a 400w. If you're concerned about stealth, then get a digital ballast. It stays cool to the touch, is smaller, and easier to hide than a magnetic ballast. In either case, 600w puts out the lumens you need to grow enormous colas you just...

    HPS or MH throughout entire grow?

    Primarily hps. MH is nice to supplement the hps for greater resin production.

    Fluorescent lights

    Yes, but only for the first two or three weeks, if starting from seed or clone. CF's can't penetrate dense or mature foliage. If you are growing clones, a 250 cf would meet all of your vegging requirements. You can then stick em then under a 600 watt hps to flower/finish them with great...

    When should I flush?

    You should start flushing a week before you expect the bracts to start swelling, generally. You have to grow a particular strain a few times to get a handle on the timing.
