Hey Ace, I was meaning to ask you...I guess you have a few grows under your belt, and would notice the difference...did you notice any flavour difference going from BioBizz to chem's?

Oh yeah the taste from the biobizz was the shit, I mean really good.
It always gave my plants a more frash taste. My buds don't tast bad now that I stopped
using or anything. Just not as good. But now that I stop using it im not having any problems
with my grows and I'm getting about an oz more a plant. For me the chemicals just work better
(for me) now that I understand them. But if you want to get a good taste and not worried about size
i say biobizz is some good shit.
 
In that case, I'll just try and sort out my feeding routine for the HPS, and go back to smaller pots with more regular watering, cos I do loves th taste I'm getting...there have even been occasions when my plants have gone from full strenght, to just water for 5 days, and still tasted better then anything else I find. I'm not into huge yield, just a good level of constantly stoned :)
 
just a little update for you guys. due to the smell and a complaint from a neighbour i have had to chop my plant until i can get something sorted for the odour issue im having. i did this on saturday, the buds have been hanging to dry. the stems today were cracking near the buds when i bent them so i cut the buds off and have jarred them up. i have already sprouted another seed so it will give me a few weeks to invest in something decent before i have to worry about the smell. im quite happy with the harvest i got. i still had a few weeks to go so its nowhere near what it should have been but dry weight is 70.9g from one plant :) yay.

heres a couple pics

Lookin good brettsog, shame you had the smell issues. What is the smell/taste like from your early chop? I think my first cut was early, and the taste & smell is rather "green"..

For smell I use ONA, works like a charm.

Any tips on germinating seeds?
I have 10 reg wonder womans I will be starting in a few weeks.
Normally I use a damp paper towel in an open bag and put it in the top shelf of a dark closet for a couple days..
 
thanks man... it smells a little musky if im honest. and almost like tea. until you put your nose up close then a nice fruity smell comes through. the smell when it was growing was almost like ammonia. very strong, pungent. where i was pumping the air into my hallway near the front door, it was seeping out and causing issues.

with regards to germinating i have found rockwool to be pretty good. i just soak it in tap water then sit it in a little dish with a small amount of water in then pop seed in the hole. so far i have had 100% with it. they seem to pop out onto the surface with 2 days.

Yeah mine have a very pungent smell growing, however after drying they got a real tea like or parcely smell & taste.. Am hoping its just from early cut or dried too long.

I have been seeing them. Do they just go right into the tent under light like that?
 
I find that theses are the nuts, had full 1" seedling 4days after putting the seedling in!! It used to take me longer then that just to get th seeds to pop. If you already have a propagator, the you can get just the Coir Pellets on ebay for next to nothing. What light are you useing to veg?? The 250?? I can't advise you on seedlng plant distant distance with a HPS, but CFL's as close as you can :)
 
i keep them in a dish in the grow space. lights are off at the minute. as soon as the coytoledons appear ill turn the lights on. should be tomorrow

ill be running 2 65w 6500k cfls for veg and the 250 for flower. this time im growing ak48 :) a nice short flowering period. going DWC again. using lucas formula.

i have some jiffy pellets as well which i used for clones. got rid of 2 and have one on my window sill at the moment.
 
I'm germing one of my granddogy purp seeds. To go on my next grow.
Dont know what I'm gonna do with the Jamaican Dream I have.
Might put it outside and see what happens.

Sounds like pretty much the same set up as me. But I never started the seeds n darkness, not heard of that before. Oh and Cotyldons? Is that the little sperm tale?? I have some Aurora Indica seeds due this week (oh yeah and I've convinced my wife that if we have a daughter to call her Aurora, but not told her why :) ) so this info could come in handy.

My first 6 months growing was AK48, it's fruity, strong, and a much better yielder then my current Blue Mystic. Seriously, they survived straight tap water, temps under 10 centigrade, little light, major light diruptions, over feed, shit soil.... and still did OK. Enjoy!

That's what I do too, I soak the rw starters in 5.0 ph water overnight or longer then just squeeze out the excess water, widen the little hole a bit, plop the seeds in and pinch the hole shut. I put these in a loosely covered tray on a heating pad (lowest setting) 100% success rate so far..

Grazz
 
i guess im old school still using paper towel in a baggie in a dark warm spot.works everytime.had them pop less than a day.
 
Yup, I'm a paper towel guy too. Not 100% but damn close to it. I had 3 failures out of my last 4 attmepts. All 3 were G13 seeds. Not impressed with their product so far.

Other than that pretty much 100%
