I don't indoor at my property only do 3 plants max outdoor at summer with one or 2 at a family members farm
So because of that as a rule i buy fem seeds and I've been pretty lucky the last few yrs everything I have grown out has either been perfect for me or at the very least above average for my standards in terms of quality
But I research a hell of a lot before deciding on my summer grows and they can change right up to the day I want to transplant in to final holes as I normally start up to a dozen and keep the best looking 4 or 5

Nothing wrong with properly done fem seeds especially if you are trying to keep your numbers at a minimum

I went mad on GPS seeds but me and a mate are trying to find 4-6 mothers of different strains one each to be able to rely on indoor for a half dozen runs with Unlimited height restrictions

I coulda saved you a lot of money and just sent you my cuts when i find em

@dopeonarope has got some 88G13HPxNL1 on the go looking forward to see how they turn out

I tell you what - the 4 I popped didnt get the best start. I germed them directly into cups with coco and perlite (not the best idea in hindsight). Flushed the shit out of it before planting but I don't think I did it enough. All but 1 stalled so I had to repot into some seriously flushed coco and theyre all recovered and growing again. I think I've got the watering down but it was pretty close for a while there. I nearly fucked the lot and lost a solid week, maybe 2 of growing time.

Chalking it up to a good learning experience with growing in coco, just wish I'd used some less quality seeds to work it all out. Didn't have any issues with straight perlite hempy buckets so shouldve stuck to that Onward and upward now though, they look heaps better and are growing pretty quick

Pigeon carrier ?
The only problem see in front of us is only popping 7 or 8 a time if half are males that makes it harder for us to find keepers so whole he has a dozen in veg to flip early to find sex I'm starting the next dozen under my T5 so they can go to him for the next search
He has a cloning tent then a veg room and seperate 4k flower room
The buety of living out in the sticks with no kids or missus

Give either H&G or Canna coco a go next time comes washed and pre charged I just go straight from the bag into the pot ain’t nobody got time for rinsing coco lol

When u flick to flower, how long before u start using flower nutes generally?

I think I'll drop by the hydro shop later this week, I need to drop another few beans soon and I think the last brand of coco I bought is shit. Directions said to flush heavily before use after rehydrating and thats a fuckin painful messy job - fuck that shit. I think I can get canna by the bag at the local joint - no h&g there apart from nute lines.

when its finished stretch is a good time, still needs a decent amount of N for the first couple weeks after flip

So. I've had to shut down the exhaust fan. And revert to low power on the lights.
The fan sounds fucked. It rattles heaps now. And I don't know if I can trust it to not catch the house on fire.

I'm not yet ready to dump this joint. Still need a better form of shelter...

 

[Venus55]

If temps are dropping quite low lights off, should I put a heater in there? I was thinking maybe an oil heater?

Popping that number doesn’t so much make harder just a longer process,on the upside you’ll be able to get a better look at each one rather than having a heap to try and look at all at once

It would help stop any mild or mildew issues

You probably should have precharged it with some Cal Mag after you rinsed it.

I prefer a base that you veg and flower with and just add a little extra N in veg if they need then give them a little extra Calcium and Phosphorus in early flower than bang them hard with Potassium at the end

reckons it was pre-charged with calmag and then said to rinse the shit out of it before use. stupid bunch of shitcunts

 

[dopeonarope]

i've got separate industrial sized bottles of cal and mag so if I have any more issues I might crack those out. they got a light shot of trace about a week ago and that set them on the right track so I'm just monitoring now

Should end up with about a pound per plant if you use Cal Mag
