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...

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...

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...

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.

I know, beat to death but can't find info really. Would pollen be deemed useless from pollen sacs dried in microwave?

I wasn't sure where exactly to post this. ? But have a pollen question. I have a male in separate old bathroom under an LED on 12hrs. along with a few females same age. Pollen sacs are formed pretty well right now only 16 days into the flowering cycle. Females not even close yet. How long...

Kinda crazy question but does anyone, when transplanting cuttings from indoors to outdoors, sort of mimic the daylight what it may be outdoors before putting them out? For instance, cuttings taken , rooted in 18 hrs daylight or whatever, but outdoors is only 14 hours of daylight in say May.

Not sure where to post this. Basic question I guess. But I did something ( or neglected to do ) different this time around. I've got 11 M/F plants indoors currently. Not sexed yet. They are 6w old and I just switched to 12/12 2 days ago. I opted to NOT cut the tops off since I rarely start...

Couple things. I've got some plants in basement which maintains about 40F all Winter. Plants are 'inside' an enclosure with no top ( silver foam board like insulation under siding stuff ) . ANyway, with the lights running it maintains 76F during the ON cycle and with the addition of a small...

Hi guys, I'm getting back into it after a 30 yr hiatus. Question on seed germination. I was reading or the infamous " they say " temperatures from seed germination to seedlings and adults if kept uniform will yield less males. Is this true? possibly? or no real tests done? I ask bc I took...

Its been a LONG time for me with breeding, but with outdoor seed production, should the seed pod start to split open as a general ripeness indicator? or not necessarily so? This was chosen to breed so not worried about past due buds. Although a different question can the remaining buds be used...

Hi all. I have been using a combo of MH and HPS for all my grows since the 80s. I bought some el cheapos LED's to try. They give no heat really to speak of and that actually was a bonus with the MH/HPS I could adjust the height and get perfect temps with aid of small fan too ( minus at night...

Sort of an odd question, but maybe its common or something is wrong or could be coincidence. Not sure. I have rarely had many problems sprouting. I actually use an egg incubator set at 74F. I normally use paper towels inside bag on a plate. Never had a problem really. In years past I had a...

Hi guys, i will breed one of my plants soon but question . Since its been 20 yrs since I have done so. I have the fresh pollen saved in airtight container. I am finding a few different opinions on WHEN to introduce the pollen. 14 days, 14-21, 21-29. TO that point, what day would you consider...

Hey folks, at what point would it be too long to wait to feminzize a plant? This plant is very late maturing and also long 60 days, Late October here in NYS. It JUST started showing signs of hairs the female about 5 days ago. I thought it may be male, but no. So lets just say 1 week in can I...

OK. I am not sure what is going on here because a couple things have happened all together in the same time period. We have had a tremendous amount of rain here in the East ( very unusual amounts ) and I believe this may be a problem of 'over watering', which of course I can not control on...

Hi folks, happy to be here after a 30 yr hiatus ( from growing ) . Anyway, my brother and i used to grow a lot back in the 80s and early 90s , now that my GF and I are fully retired we are 'experimenting' again with the grows. Anyway, I have feminized plenty of seeds in the past for a few...
