My soil, which I have been composting/culturing for several years, is 7.8pH, and my sprouts are not growing. I've added sulfur and peat/compost, but it only sat for a couple of weeks before I had sprouts in it. (This is indoors in a planter). I'm wondering while I'm waiting for the pH to come...

I have been drooling over the idea of trying a straight sativa for some time, and I finally have several new sprouts of a pure Hawaiian sativa. I plan to experiment, and my expectations are to wind up with something that is about three quarters my favorite sativa mixed with a deep indica.

That's just pure logic. Nature would land the seed on its broader side than narrow edge. And on the paper towel it would be on its side.

Nature's way is to just drop it and let it find it's own way. Perhaps the problem arises when we germinate artificially then move the seed (usually taking pains to make sure it is oriented differently! lol

POINTED end up: http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds.info/how-to-position-sow-cannabis-seeds-in-soil.html How many times have I lost a sprout trying to turn it over!! I just came across this the other day even as I had an upside down sprout I had began working with. It makes so much sense I am...

Here's what causes upside down sprouts: http://www.amsterdammarijuanaseeds.info/how-to-position-sow-cannabis-seeds-in-soil.html

I have been noticing sometimes massive white fibers growing on the bottom of my 3x3x4 rockwool cubes I'm using to germinate. I'm using, weakly, Superthrive, fish fertilizer, Western States B-1 with minor elements and chelating agent. I've begun adding a few grains of miracle gro because I have...

I found this recipe for treating rockwool for the first time to enhance ph control. But the directions for dosage/mixing were not there. Any advice at how to do this? Here's the recipe: To pre-treat rockwool for planting, soak it in a solution of fish emulsion, trace mineral solution and...

I found a recipe for pre-treating rockwool before first use. The ingredients are given, but could someone fill in the gaps with some mixing/using advice? Here's the recipe: To pre-treat rockwool for planting, soak it in a solution of fish emulsion, trace mineral solution and phosphoresic acid...

I found a recipe for preparing rockwool for first time use to enhance ph control, but specifics were not available. Could someone "fill in the gaps" with specific quantities and mixing/pre-soak advice, please. Here are the ingredients: To pre-treat rockwool for planting, soak it in a solution of...

How do you set the ph of the RW?

OK. I just saw your last post. Thanks. May I consider you my guru through this adventure??

Should I use distilled water?

I'm not very savvy here. I guess I'm in VM. I'm just a country bumpin, an old hippie (and damn proud that way, too! lol). Thanks for the guiding hand. Guide me through the most critical of the germination stage and I'll reward you with the same reward you guide me too. lol

OK, cool...PH meter coming too. So control liquid PH, to control rockwool PHright? And my tapwater has nearly half calcium if you count what it leaves behind. lol Probably distilled water only, huh? Should it have feed (light) in the sprout water?

I have some 20 dollar seeds coming and some 3x3x4 rockwool cubes. I've never used rockwool before, and I am as likely to stick-'em-in-dirt when they outgrow the cubes as not. But assuredly some will go dirt and some hydroponic, and I could sure use some help with my investment. I'd like to stick...
