damn 7/10 that's not a good ratio.

[h=3]The effect of soil temperature on sown seeds.[/h]The chart below displays the relationship between soil temperature, days to emergence, and the percentage of sown seeds to germinate:

As you might expect, the percentage of any seeds to germinate is maximum at the optimal temperature for that species. As the temperature declines or advances from the optimal temperature, two things happen at the same time. While the percentage of seeds to germinate decreases, the number of days to germination increases. That is the fundamental relationship between germination and temperature.
For every species of seed, there is an optimal soil temperature for germination, and at that temperature, the maximum number of seeds will germinate and in less time than at any other temperature.

funny, i take it that you're not either if this is all you have to contribute to Gladstones' thread. so many lames on riu it's hard to tell the phonies from the fakes, let alone the real that hardly exist here.
dude the next time you join someone grow journal contribute something positive and in reference to the thread before you call yourself, personally, trying to get at someone. 7-10 on seeds that were priced at $105 a pack at the time is not a good ratio you dick in the butt. let's thank god that a lot of people don't think like baloney housepony.

glad good job on the grow.

It rates high on the list of what I have grown. I used a three gallon smart pot and vegged longer than I needed to. My temps ran high, I had a mite problem, this still went through everything and looked really good. I bought another 10 pack of beans so I can keep working with it.

The stretch is what caught me off guard.

ok thanks. how long did you veg exactly? how tall were they when you made the flip and how much did they stretch? thanks in advance.

I will have to go back and check. I flipped 4/19 cuz it was day before 4/20. I did this journal on The Seed Depot also to try to help jb out and moonshine told me on that thread that I better watch that stretch. That is why I flipped them when I did. When I rerun these I take the top off and use that as clone and flip then. I will go look for his comment and copy and paste that shit, it probably makes more sense now anyway. lmao.

lotta stretch on all the haze/staivas. In an Indoor setting I reccomend sexing early as possible, chop the top as your new Mother Clone and flip the lower half of the plant. In most cases the shorter you flip a sativa the less stretch and wasted internodal space and the colas will stack up better. Many times once I establish a "stretchy"plant as a mom and take clones (5") ; a week after the clone roots Ill flip them @ 6 Plants per 1 K in a scrog. Rarely do I grow anything SOG, all my growing styles incorporate SCROG, LST, Supercropping. This will make the plant finsih at under 3ft with the lowers reaching the canopy and packing on buds that normally equal many of the 2nd and 3rd tops....



This is a comment from Moonshine on my thread on The Seed Depot fourm. This is advice from the source. He was politely telling me that if I veg for 2 months like I planned that I would be fucked. lmao.

Another excellent tactic in the smaller garden with a sativa dominant is to train a little differently. Use a tomato cage and train one branch around the lower or one up ring and another around the top ring. Using these two main branches to offshoot vertical colas off off branching. Once you have the basics down you can work with more complex manipulations by crossing branches through the center. Basically you are find of weaving a topiary that maximizes growing area while supporting the plant.

And, there are also these: http://www.kinsmangarden.com/category/Spiral-Support

I was thinking about trying this. I have a few clones that are already long as hell. I may get some fencing tomorrow and make some cages and try a few of these. Fuckers are like vines.

Tomato cages work great..home depot has cheap ones this time of year. I use them on all my sativa dom plants..using them with the ghost train #1s Im doing too. Once they get to the top ring I just start tying them down and filling out gaps in the canopy
