sowing seeds too deeply, soil too wet and or over watering causes seeds to "dampen off".
i usually water the soil i'll be planting in and let it drain for a couple of days before sowing seeds. i sow seeds about 1/8" deep. GL
i decided to wait a few more days to harvest. trichs are mostly cloudy with a few amber on the leaves but not on the buds.
Tim, i don't know what extraction methods are as i've never made oil.
this is the first time trying lst and i must say it will be the only way from now own. so easy and manageable and much stealthier. this is day 55 flowering and am planning on harvest on Wednesday morning. love cindy, my favorite high!
the ones i'm growing now is the Female Seeds C99 XLine since i mostly grow outdoors. one is a magnesium whore and one is a nitrogen whore. the third one is neutral. i think i'll harvest the first one Tuesday. i'll post some pics before harvest day. funny about the girl cleaning the house...
just don't get too set on the blooming nutes. use sparingly due to the low amount of nitrogen in them. if used too much the fan leaves will begin yellowing prematurely. i would recommend to use it no more than twice. GL
i've used Jack's for many years. i use 20-20-20 and never use blooming nutes. that's a good veg formula you have. during flowering i would maybe two or three times us something with more phosphorus. GL
