    Sprouting In Soil

    I have always done the paper towel method, not had any problems with it, so probably won't change. My advice is to do it the way that suits you best.

    Will these little plants be ok

    That is too far away. I have 2x150w QB type LEDs, set at 30%, 60cm (24") above the plants and they are running 24/7.

    Planting Bag Seeds?

    No I am not relying on it. Weed growing is a hobby, nothing more. I might plant them in the garden for shits n' giggles.:D Back in the day, genuine Sensi Seeds Big Bud was the go to yielder, if you were selling it. This wasn't Sensi Seeds and wasn't that good. Like I said the originals...

    Mineralized phosphate (bat guano)

    It isn't a fight. I just don't see the point, so don't bother.

    Flushing before harvest is Bro Science!

    I can't believe I have actually read this thread from start to finish. I could have spent that time doing anything else, like stabbing myself in the leg with a rusty fork, for example.

    Mineralized phosphate (bat guano)

    That is me also, if everyone stopped it with the Bat Guano, then they'd stop mining it. I don't use coir because it is shipped halfway round the planet. If people want manure, then there is plenty of it produced locally everyday. I don't see the point shipping trendy products around the...

    Planting Bag Seeds?

    This is them. TBH I am probably going to toss them, I wasn't that impressed with the plants they came from or the strain they came from. They were freebies.

    Planting Bag Seeds?

    Today I dry trimmed some of my White Widow x Big Bud Feminised and I found a couple of seeds. I have no idea how they came into being, I didn't notice any Herms and from two plants there were two seeds in the whole lot. I often find myself amazed at the weed that noobs seem to grow from bag...

    Will these little plants be ok

    They'll be alright. As said, top them so they bush up and then train them with a bit of LST. I'd get them in a bigger pot too. What lights do you have?

    Northern lights, flowering for 13 weeks so far, wont ripen

    You have been reading breeder's estimates and believing them. They are works of pure fiction. There is no "flowering wayyyyy longer than it should be", plants only flower for as long as they need to. You say it has had 13 weeks of flower, I reckon it has had about 8, tops. When you set the...

    Mineralized phosphate (bat guano)

    Totally agree. A massive amount of unique eco-system is being destroyed by the Bat Guano trade. That is before we look at the carbon issues of shipping the stuff around the planet. As you say there are equally good alternatives available, but they don't sound as cool and are not as expensive...

    On/off timer in seconds...

    The stock Sonoff firmware allows LAN control for when they lose an internet connection. But that still requires the phone or tablet that has the eWelink app on it to be on the same LAN. So what if they call Home? I bet your phone, home router, PC and whatever else is checking in with far more...

    Calcium or beginning of phosphorus

    This is why I don't understand the fascination people seem to have with giving CalMag. I mix my own CalMag, as I am not paying for the "mostly water" of commercial CalMag products. Based on my water company's own test results and my own tests, I have zero calcium or magnesium in my local...

    Burying a plant deep

    So do they work like pre-rooted clones?

    Defoilate or not defoilate, that isnthe question

    Yeah, I'd noticed that. I am struggling to see why.

    Very poor growth on 3 of 4 plants.

    Which is why I don't bother with Coco. It is just too much faff, IMHO.

    Awesome, thanks.

    Burying a plant deep

    Much the same as you, I have been led to believe that once you bury the stem the plant will chuck out new roots from the buried stem. If I do get a stretchy plant and I have to bury it deeper, I always end up with a decent root ball with roots all the way down. These 3 here have gone super...

    The UK Growers Thread!

    I have got plenty of perlite here. Bio Bizz would mean going to the Hydro shop, there is one in the whole county. TBH I hate going to the hydro shop, it is by appointment only and fucking expensive. Plus the bloke that runs it is a pushy twat, that is always trying to up sell you something...

    A head scratcher?

    You are going to have to point it out, I have always been shit at magic eye pictures.
