we've done LAC and its a great plant. one of our favorites along with western winds and sensi star. When you get seeds from DNA or any FRESH seeds for that matter, the method you use to germinate them will determine how many actually spout.
We've had 100% success using this versus the "old way"...
we push so the odor goes into the filter and out comes clean non-smelling air. again your choice. try it one way and then the other and see which you prefer.
no problem. the first two weeks or so they should have enough nutrients in the soil to sustain themselves, it might be ten days or 14??? Just go easy the first feeding. some take ferts better than others. less is better in the beginning.
they veg until they flower...autoflower....the amount of light doesn't influence their flowering start....it because they aren't like regular photo-period plants. just put the light on 24/7 once they start to show then we switch them to 20/4.
6 gallons or so, nice and slow. don't use any ferts for the first two weeks of growth.plus that stuff sounds pretty hot to me. 7-9-5, we tend to use a lighter mix of fert's. organic only thing we use. blue mountain organics.
no you shouldn't cut any leaves as they are the source of food/energy for your plant. maybe put something over the top of the soil to keep the leaves off of it.
yeah the fan is a little LARGE for those plants you have. get a 6 inch oscillating fan. looks like some nitrogen burn possibly. also keep your temps 70 night and around 80 during the light time.
the soil should be of good quality. not MG or any of that walmart stuff. get really good soil FFOF or coast of maine. mix in some perlite to help loosen and keep it loose. the lights can be a couple of inches above the plants. start at 5 inches and see how they do.
for the two photos of the one top we can see what kind of advice are you looking for? it's green, a female plant, a long time to go til done. how's that. think about what you are asking and if the photos you provide will assist us in answering your question. duh!
