2 are darker... and the other 3 look a tad bit less mature but they all sank to the bottom just now so that is a good sign. They look okay enough to germinate by just looking at them.

My wife often reassures me that bigger isn't always better... I'm never sure what she's on about.

Fucken hell... I was holding out for CSI black friday sale but nspecta still hasnt announced one and I got all drawn in and seduced by Neptune's BF sale.

I'd been wanting some Rado gear... Nilla wafer in particular...it is only 25% off,,,, but Mota gear is 40% off.
Ugh, no more seeds for the year.
My next run is going to fun fun fun though.

haha sorry to infect you with the itch.

I was getting really bored with growing, doing it so long and just running same couple clones for yrs and yrs.
So I decided exciting new genetics to play with is a way to keep me interested and the more interested I stay in my garden the better the results, always.

it's an intvestment in my own mental health.

I'm the same. If I grow the same clone over and over I start to neglect the op and shit goes south. Popping beans keeps the interest level up.

I do admit the bulk seeds we buy are not that big to be honest
Just so u feel comfortable planting the tiny buggas

For the price of an oz

My situations different but I've had access to clones etc and neglect to take up offers
It keeps me interested to adjust my techniques etc feeding by doing different strains all the time
Gardening is a must for my sanity

The only thing you really learn from shitty genetic is how to deal (or make do) with shitty genetics.

To use your brewing anolgy. How do you show a novice what good or great beer is? The answer is you give them a taste and show them The process of making said beer. What your effectively saying is “don’t waste your money on fancy equipment or materials your not good enough to make use of either”.

You've incorrectly ascribed thoughts & feelings to me that simply don't exist & that irks me. OK, I'm going out on a limb & call you out on this one.

Since this is an illegal activity (as opposed to brewing), it's difficult to find a mentor that you can learn from in person. The only alternative is to try things for yourself, based on what you glean from online personas. Some of them obviously know what they're doing & some don't. There's a lot of well-intentioned advice out there on forums & it can be a confusing mess to try to get your head around. Who do you believe?

The answer is to READ & absorb the information. Take notes as you go & implement what you learn. Question EVERYTHING until/unless it fits with your own level of knowledge & experience. Advance from there. LEARN!

I still stand that learning is a bit of a minefiled, but you have to learn it for yourself by experimenting with your own plants. Much the same as learning how to brew properly.

There's more than one way to grow weed, just as there's more than one way to make great beer. I don't see a problem with learning different growing techniques by using bag seed or Auto's (to accelerate the learning process).

Try. Fuck-up. Make notes. Try again. Fuck-up again. Whatever, LEARN!

Ultimately, it's what works for you in your own situation/environment.

You can't grow A grade dope with B grade seeds. It doesn't matter how good you can grow, the best you'll end up with is still B grade.
If you start of with some A grade genetics you've given yourself a chance to grow some fire, maybe you will or maybe you won't but the possibility is there

That's the way I look at it

I thinking of running a couple of hempy buckets for my small tent I’m low on soil but I have heaps of perlite. It seems easy enough anyone got any advice?

Coco hempies work better than standard perlite+vermiculite

 

[beernutz]

I still like curves

Coco hempies work better than standard perlite+vermiculite

I've never used any other hempy but coco but I will attest they run very well.
I use 99c bunnings 9L buckets with layer chunky perlite on bottom and usually 100% coco (sometimes 75/25).
I find hempies to be quite forgiving (I flower at night and occasionally konk out before watering and let them dry too much) and also yield very well for their medium amount/size.
