Once the tap root emerged I put my seeds in the starter plugs, how much light should i give? Is that when i start my 18/6 cycle of lights?[/QUOT
I would go 24/0.
With clones its sure that you will have all female plants, they are faster to grow since you dont have to germinate no seed or wait for a seedling to sprout. Both starting from seed and from clones have their own benefits. If you have seeds, you can breed and cross strains, but if you want to have "sinsemilla" (or seedless buds) you will have to watch out for male plants and remove them from females before they release their pollen. If you have clones there is no worries about that. But some say that starting from seed is the best for potency, and some say that the clones genes will diminish in potency and health as time goes by. another thing you have to worry about with seeds is hoping that all will germinate, and all will be female. There are some "bad" seeds that are not healthy and will not make it through. With clones the only thing to hope for is that the mother from where the clones came is a healthy, disease and pest free plant. I would do both seed and clones, have a few clones and a few seedlings, grow them both the same, same soil, nutes, lights, and in the end you will be able to see what works best for you, and what you like best. Oh and seeds tend to be a lot more expensive than clones, and in some areas a lot harder to get a hold of good seeds. And if its your first time growing, consider growing in good old soil or a soilless medium like coco and peat moss as they are more forgiving than hydro, and if you over or under nute it will not affect the plants as bad as in a hydro set up. I know a guy whos plants fried just because his ph was too high in a hydro setup. Whatever you decide to go with, good luck and happy farming!Can someone please explain to me the benefits of cloning and if it is better to clone or to start fresh with new seeds?
Im not sure about the best hydro nutes since i havent tried hydro yet, all i know is that you have to be extra careful when feeding in a hydro setup since it is easier to over feed and burn your babies. I heard fox farm hydro nutes and humboldt nutes are good for hydro, but again ive heard this and i dont know it by personal experience. Sounds like a nice hydro setup, good luck!i just got a flo n grow hydro system with 1000watt hps light w/co2 . im starting with bc sweet tooth strain i would like to know whats the best nutrients to give them ....any ideas
yes i love this site it's filled with super helpful and usually very nice people, lol and everyone has a love for the herbz. whats not to love?whats up guys. i just made up mind about growing and it sounds like a great idea to me because now i wont have to meet people up. what i'm really stoked about is that ill be capable of producing any yield i want. kush, trainwreck, sour diesel, purp, and so on. sativa, got it. indica, got it. sat\ind, got it. equipment and supplies may be costly, but in the long run you'll be saving lots of $$. i'm glad i found this site because many members are helpful when it comes to growing cannabis q's.

huh, what TF was that all about ?View attachment 2291101View attachment 2291103View attachment 2291102Hello All. I am NERKY and am very pleased to be here. I love this planet very much. I don't like forum beef or trolls. I love cannabis. I love you. Love me back.
This is my current grow. Apollo13xVortex by TGA (i love subcool). These 3 were vegged too long (not IMO) and stand nearly 5' inside a 7'6" room. 5'x6' screen retrofit over existing plants in an attempt to control flowering growth (more lights coming). Have I mentioned I haven't even flipped them to 12/12 yet? What am I THINKING?!
