what would you say about phasing out the mg? when to stop putting it in? do you need to continually feed with this slow releasing stuff?

this is MG in a shaker type container? haven't used that for a while, but i don't think it's all that slow release, but my info could be old
in general, the usual recommends are to stop feeding at 2 weeks prior to chop, i use organics which makes for a bit different timing

it says slow release..but who knows

I've heard multiple different things about germination/planting, but personally what do you think is best...just let the seed crack open than pop it? or let a decent amount of the root tip come out first?

if it says slow release, it's probably just that, use with caution, MG time release is notorious for causing troubles for our favourite plant
it can be used, i've seen grows that have been great, but it has its tricks, if you over water, you over fertilize, and that will give the classic MG burn
and yes, let the seed crack, but once it shows tap root, it can go into the soil

Switched back over to Veg, chopped the plant n put it in re-veg as well as a new seed in the dirt. have the correct spectrum this time and 78 watts, wish me luck!

i've done cloning without a dome, it can be done, though a dome does give you some more humidity
if you're smelling a bad plastic smell, that can't be good, i'd yank it, or find a substitute covering

Its a seed not a clone....works for both tho?

humidity is so low where i live tho...almost always around 30%.....yanked the bag...see if the smell goes away now. HOPEFULLY. or else i gotta start checking electrical or somethin

i've done several revegs, at least 2 weeks most times, maybe a bit more, at 3 weeks growth should be going strong

Still catching a wiff of what smells like plastic...maybe it's just risidual smell that is in my room still. the lights smelled like it a bit (the bulb) electrical sockets seem to be fine and shouldnt be over riden with 3 26 watts and a fan+powerbar+timer... any guesses?

i'd guess it's one of the bulbs, if you have a spare you could swap out 1 at a time and see if it goes away

if 1 smells bad, i'd be scared to keep running it, cfl's do fail, sometimes in a bad way though i've never had it happen

I thought i had a spare..but i opened up the box and part of it is shattered....they got mercury in em :S....maybe this was producing the smell..gonna rid it of the room and hope so!. ...what dangers do you speak of? fire? or just them burning out/shattering?

on a different subject..been having smart meters installed on my street today. meters that can read where, what and when you consume power...anyone know if i am fucked? or good to go considering the size of mine?
