Hi, I'm new here I've been in other forums here and there but it's been so long i put that past me and stopped growing. after 2 years of realizing how it financially hurts me to enjoy something I like so I started again.
with being eager beaver and arrogant and cocky because of my past grows, I tried to jump straight back to the deep end.
tried to pop seeds but they were;
A: old seeds so they were taking longer to germinate due to low sugar/energy in my theory.
B: I tried paper towel method but i was rushing and wasn't paying attention to temp and humidity and over wetting which would result them to rot and stink.
C I tried to super crop but it fuked up my plant badly and it died, it was stuck on 2 strings, and I also so nut burnt it badly because the pot was small even though I gave tiny amount it was very strongly concentrated (believe me or not i only used 2 spray bottle splashes but due to high concentration it must of just burnt the roots.
I popped few seeds at a time in space of a month I had like 30 seeds, each time only few would make it or survive, from that certain batch.
I would label them and be patient I finally gave up and thought, fuck it I stop fucking with nature and just dropped few seeds in the pot, I would dig them out gently pressing the soil pot gently side ways to make it crack and I would check on them, sometimes due to bad watering or whatever the seed would be upside down and steam was facing upwards or the soil went deep down into soil. (i used bigger pots because during my sleeping schedule it would dry the soil resulting my seeds to die). Anyway eventually few made it and with my lights being on for my other plants it increased warmth so I used paper towel method with just few splashes every few hours, I even slept for like 8 hours like a baby from being fucked up (from this new dealer I found that does fat 1g packs, but that's another story XD) and wokeup and the paper towel was dry as fuck the stem POPPING from the seed was yellow and paper thin, I thought "oh fuck" but I splashed them quickly and wet them and the paper, I don't know how in the world but they mirically fattened back up and still germinated, their grow is stunned abit and their first true leaves look deformed and small as hell lol.
I'm a cheap grower I don't do that fancy ph and monitoring soil ph and flushing and all that stuff and measuring shit.
I just use straight tap water with tomato nut I bought for like £1 and have had for 4 years. I've also recycled my soil many times but I've discovered new things and I also keep my soil healthy and look after it. my previous grow I was using a giant tent like 2m's (MORE space more air for the heat to expand which makes it difficult to exhaust out) my new space is very small in height like 1.3m? and light is very close, so close it burnt em alittle xd.
But they like it, although my elecy is getting drained, what I've realised is on 24/0 I get less stem growth, more leaves and more stem growth, basically big bushy plants.
I'm trying cog my plants are different sizes and I only have 1 veg space which will be flower eventually.
I've sworn on 18/6 for many years, it's the only thing I knew but ever since I've done this I have no regret.
I guess previously I convinced myself big fat stemmed plants that are tall are the best, but I was wrong, despite my stem was thick my plants had very few roots (just thicker) but now I have tons of them and I've transplanted multiple times, due to bad transplant few of them died (which I thought but they've bounced back from yellow wrinkles.
Anyway I'm still getting back into the experience I press together with my 2 fingers towards each other (each one placed on other side of stem) this actually hurts my fingers but I've discovered it's the safest way, it flattens the stem without damaging it's structural integrity and bring it down till a point where it's possible and makes more sense (which is 90degrees) then I place some weights on it to keep it from bouncing back up. I'm just using what I got really. I'm also not topping at all and growing stem sideways, believe me I haven't topped any of them, I'm just avoding anything that stunts growth.
in a week I'll prob switch and drop down slowly to 12 by taking an hour or 2 off a day. I'm on 600w hps old bulb, still going though.
