So, just let ( for example ) 40 plants go and sex pre-flower? Or you are suggesting just putting them outside in itself will turn many Hermie?

So, don't ask why but, I didn't want to individually plant the remaining sprouts so they all just came out of the soil in a 12" diam. 2G pot a BUNCH of them. Not ideal, but at what stage/age can I sort of safely pluck individuals out and put into induvial cups? I'm thinking maybe fist two...

So, if I were to just soak and plant. How long to soak for?

No problem germinating, its AFTER they start to come out is the problem. Sort of stop. Maybe soon as I see the tip start to come out I'll just plant them.

I never or rarely had many issues years ago. Now lately I am picking it back up again and have some issues germinating. Could it be the strain? Finicky? What happens is most seeds will start to sprout ( lets say out of 20 seeds ) and only a few or so maybe a half dozen will come out nicely...

On a side note here, probably for a different thread, but I have a LOT of year old piled chicken manure. If I get some organics to mix with it, how much to use without going too high in N.? I would never try fresh chicken manure. I used 1 yr old chicken manure last summer outdoors with wood...

Seems that is sort of how it went here too Thanks.

So been meaning to ask this for a while and keep forgetting. Whats everyone use to maintain soil pH ? Mine is too high. 8 to 8.5. Changing the watering solution to like a 6 does nothing to the soil seems. Need something IN the soil for next time I think. My water is 7.2. and when nutes are...

What is the advantage(s) of that? Thanks

SO had a power outage and now plants are 13 Hrs Dark / 11 light rather than the 12/12 they had been on. They are 6W into flower. Is this going to cause any problems? or benefits? Its been 2 days and I just left it. It is Headband Cookies var. and outdoors was late matering 10+W.

That's incredible this one. Crazy.

Well, on day 3 of drying my male that That's what we ended up doing thanks. Ended up being around 120F for maybe 15 minutes. Did the trick. Put in plastic baggie and all pollen fell out was visible for ye ole brush.
