This is very true. Most people pick up on things pretty quickly if they are interested. Most, if uninterested, are like talking to walls if you try to teach them something.

I've learned that one of the most important qualities for one in life is to be "coachable".

Yep, eventually you obtain enough knowledge and you end up with the mad scientist title. Knowledge is power. Absorb what works for you and capitalize from it.

You killed the Bubblelicious? That's currently my only surviving plant for my first grow. Still just CFL.

Didn't kill her lad. Think I just stressed her out too much. I broke the apical stem while LSTing and it's stunted it quite a bit I'm sure.
That and the F.I.M cut I made I guess.
For future reference, I don't think I'll ever super crop or F.I.M or top and autoflowering strain.
It's starting to pick up some steam now, but basically I'm sacrificing some of its yield by running it on 12/12...Oh well tho.
Gotta do what I gotta do.
I'll get something from it haha just not sure what.
Yours is looking marvelous tho!

Thanks. Yeah, I don't think you should mess with an auto too much other than some LST. I left the top taller than I wanted, though. I have 2 more auto Bubblelicious seeds, but I'm going to try some other feminized first. I've been really screwing up my seedlings, though. Too wet or something. I'm reading and researching. If I can get them to their second or third set of leaves, then I do OK.Yours is looking marvelous tho!

Don't make it too complicated w/ the seedlings bro.
just keep the toil soil moist by misting the first seven days...7th day water them thoroughly and go like every 4-5 days from there.
I haven't killed one, so I don't see how ppl do it haha!
Let me know if you need any help when then next time comes for you to germinate!
And def. Cheech...I will NEVER again FIM or TOP and auto. Str8 LSTing.
Hopefully it still gives me a DECENT yield tho!
Appreciate ya!

Thanks. No problems germinating, but I think I've just been making the grow medium too wet before I put the taproot in, and then the humidity dome kept the whole thing soggy. First time, I said "oh well". This time, I dug everything out of the cup and saw how wet it still was. (Yes, it has drainage holes.) So third time the charm? I'm reading and stuff, but sometimes you just have to experience the mistakes too. Kinda like FIM-ing an auto!

haha yeahhhh yeahhhh yeahhhhhh! It might be a blessing in disguise haha! We don't know just yet! So don't consider it a mistake just yet haha(the F.I.M cut).Thanks.

I got all the tops I wanted outta the F.I.M cut so I don't know that that was the mistake....
However, breaking my apical stem.....Now that's totally my mistake lol. Oh wellll tho...It's true that you do have to experience them!
But yeah bro, you don't want your seedlings soil sopping wet. You want it damp and you want the roots to seek out moisture!
And I've never used a humidity dome either...I think you might just need that for cuttings...I'm gonna try to root some cutting here in a bit without the dome here in a couple weeks! I even had to pull 1/2 of my current seedlings out of the ground and repot them. They STILL survived and are doing well!
But too much moisture suffocates the plants pretty much
