Thanks, I took a look and you're right. I'll edit. Looks like the consensus is that it will work again after it dries but is ineffective when wet. It definitely has a different consistency after drying and can be a real pain to get off surfaces.

I've seen some stains by this breeder touted on other forums but posts about them seem to end around 2018. However, their website is up and running. Does anyone know if they're still a good choice?

EDIT: another user pointed out that I'm wrong about the ineffectiveness of DE after it dries. It won't work only when wet. Thanks for the correction. Diatomaceous earth is great against bugs (a little of it is better than a lot). Be sure to keep the surface dry and not let it get wet, though...

I'm not the authority but that sure looks like an acceptance to me.

While the seeds haven't emerged yet, I've put them under a Hydrofarm Jump Start florescent seedling light at 24/0 in case it helps them know in which direction to grow. I already had the light - it was a gift over a decade ago from when I grew culinary herbs and vegetables indoors - so that's...

I've got you on the positive vibes, not so much on the constructive advice since I'm less far along than you are. I'm doing autos, too and started my first grow this month. I can say that even when I know better I am still prone to mistakes. I've found a lot of great advice on this forum and...

Following.

I ordered pH adjuster maybe half an hour before I read that it wouldn't hurt the plant to do it for free with vinegar and baking soda. The worry is real.

Old thread, I realize, but anyone know what the value is? Do breeders look at them for comparative grow consideration?

Obviously I'm new as hell, but I'm reading up a lot. Something I've seen in a few grow journals: Occasionally an auto seed will turn out to be photoperiod. If yours takes forever and won't flower under 18/6 or higher, that might be the situation. If that's the case, you need to switch to 12/12...

in progress: 2 autos, 400w MH/HPS, 5 gal fabric pots, Nectar soil, minimalist nute plan. No tent no special room.

I was worried about ordering one of these cheap ones as a new grower. Thanks for the rec. Ordered it online and glad to save the start up cost.

Can't wait to finish my first grow journal so I'll be eligible for these in the future.

I took your advice. Stardawg is now sitting in a 5 gallon pot and I decided to plant her a friend. Soaked the second seed just a bit before planting it pointy-side-down in the soil. I went with Nectar #4 soil. It was about five or six dollars more for 1.5 c ft, but my local store talked it up...

Just arrived. Looks like you early responders got the last Northern Lights, so they threw in another Glue Gelato for me. Thanks, @George Seeds and Vault team!

Back in business and using the paper towel method this time. I soaked the seed in water yesterday. The small space heater should keep it warm. As it happens, I'm right around the corner from a hydro store, which gives me more options without the shipping costs. There's some special soil I might...

#2 Chicago, USA. I'm just starting out so I don't have any high powered lights yet (going to buy when my plant gets big enough to require them). I'd love to win this! Thanks for the contest. Edit: I followed you on RIU but I couldn't figure out how to "like" you. I liked this post, instead.

Well, I f'd it up already. Impatient to see whether the seedling was about to emerge, I gently disturbed the soil and ended up destroying it. Back to the drawing board. Fellow newbies, don't be me.

Eh, why wait, right? The popped seed, with taproot visible but not out of its casing yet, went into some old recycled potting soil used for an old houseplant in the same small earthenware cup. It's back in front of a space heater on my living room seat. Seeds have enough nutrients to get a...

Thanks! I'm posting progress here and on autoflower.net (they seem to have more auto-only folks while RIU has a lot of overall expertise). I have a tap root popping out already so I'll need to transfer to a bit of soil soon. In the next day or two, I figure I need to buy: FF soil, perlite...
