use a bandana instead of a paper towel...why you ask. the roots will grow into the fibers of the paper towel not the bandana. i use a ziploc bag to put the bandana and the seeds in...use ro water...good to go.
dude all i have to say is keep it simple. personally i use no medium... it's less to screw up. i use neoprene collars and net pots then the res in my dwc and no issues. depending on your nutes you may the h202 may be messing with something....
stinkbud is the man. that cloner will work like the expensive ones. you need to do something with the seedlings tho.... they are stretching too much. i would transfer them to veg and give them just water or a weak solution to get them to start growing.
i have it too... i only use ro water in my system. the white stuff dosent' kill them but it is an eye sore. i think it is some kind of mold. i heard hydrozyme will take care of the white stuff. long as it dosen't kill the plants it doesn't bother me.
i want to see how this goes.. i just switched to aqua flakes from botanicare nutes. i want mine with a lot of trichs on them....even tho i got the nutes for free was a plus
i too have the 6 inch vortex fan. its a good one....if it is too much you can always us a dimmer if the air flow is too much. i would get a 400 digital ballast, which is universal.
don't worry bro.. mary is a strong plant. a better time to top is when it is 5 plus nodes tall. basically cut the top flower to the stem bro. it's too easy
you are going to invest how much time into one lanky, crappy twig??? is it femanized at least before you try to baby it back up? if it is female and you get some more light in there you will have success my friend.
agree... i have gone through grows at 85 and no issues...anything more than that you will have res issues first. the top of the plant can handle heat thru transpiration.
lol... go cheap by making your grow box or tent. i used panda film and pvc. both cheap. throw in your bulb and get some ventilation fans then you are good
