Kerovan, thanks for that link.The pricing on those is Awesome. I am on a Very tight budget, that’s the only reason I grow with these. It really bites when I used to grow I had lots of funds,eye/hotilux bulbs and great nutes. Hope to be back there again someday, disability bites.Great link though I going to write that down thanks again.

Icon717,It’s not that hard with good genetics.Trust me I’m not that good, there’s way better Grower’s on here than me with a lot more experience.I Wish I could private message you to go more in depth. I hate mucking up other people’s Thea’s. Trust me if you could have seen my first grow you would have laughed. We didn’t have cell phones with cameras yet so I have no pics.Good Soil If a must also. I’m More then happy to help with anything I can, It’s how I learned.

Yes I know. I was talking about back in 2004 when one plant was a felony. I wasn’t going to bring my film in to get developed.In 2009 I had to stop because of grandchildren.
Hey was wanting to know do u think 2 cool white T8s would be enough for veg I switch back to the mh and it was not working hurt the younger ones

What wattage you talking about, T8s are great for veg. How far away was the Mh, what was your temp and humidity?Put a wet towel in around your plants to bring up humidity.If you can slow down the exhaust fan it may also help a little. Are you let them dry a little before watering again?They should pick up under the T8’s. Let me know.

Lighting is not his problem. I run 100% under 1kw HID (MH in veg). Distance for 1kw single end should be 3 feet until week 2, then move to 2 feet. 600 watt should be closer than 1kw. Make sure you have a fan blowing, but not directly on the seedlings. Don't over water, or under water. Lift the pot, and water when it feels lite. You need more prelite in your soil. Don't feed them at all at this point. Pictures look like you are heavy on nitrogen - could just be the FF soil. Perlite will help dilute the soil. Make sure when going from paper towels to soil that you dont bury them too deep. 1/4 to 1/2" deep is right. Be very gentle with seedlings. Make sure they don't dry out - you have to keep the top soil wet until they sprout.

I agree I use my MH bulb for seedlings the only thing I don’t water the hole pot just where the seed is in the middle than by the time it drys they should pop out than I only water around the stem until they are bigger and I continue watering around the stem till they are big enough to water the hole pot the reason for that is to create a good root system make them look for the water.. And Nirvana has good genetics from what I have used I have a NL in my tent right now it’s the biggest auto I have going and it was healthy all the way through

They have the best stealth delivery bro on there auto I would suggest no LST it grows good but IMO I think one solid bud would have produced a shit load like a big fat bud
