I agree with harley, you are way overthinking things for your first grow. Start simple and go get a couple 100w cfls and a small fan. Weed can be a fickle plant, but most errors caused by new growers is messin with it to much and pretty much any lightly nuted potting mix for veggies or flowers...
Size of the seed really does not matter. The tried true method I use is ill take the seeds 1 at a time and roll them across a hard surface with my thumb. As you roll them apply a decent amount of pressure; a good seed will not break very easy.
Did this start all of a sudden or was it a trait the plant had from seed? I have seen this before, but the plant was funky from the start. On mine the first set of true leaves came in curly shaped like a boomerang. Thats hella bushy though, hope you got a nice pair of cuticle scissors for when...
If the soil is holding to much water try to bounce some out. Pick up the pot and kinda let it fall with gravity then give it a good stop. 1.5 liters of water in a 2 gal pot should have drainage.
Just go 12/12, as for nutes that is up to you. I like to keep mine a little greener till the end so I keep up with the veg nutes until I see pistils on multiple nodes. You did not mention if you sexed them yet, to be cost effective I would do that first as it could save on nutes and still allow...
The only obvious difference would be the time it takes to start flowering. when lights are on the plant it is focused on absorbing as much as it can for growth while when the light is off it is focused on developing roots. So the 12/12 will generally develop a fatter root system compared to the...
only thing I can think of is the roots were not fully developed enough on that clone. Try putting it in a dome even for a few hours to see if it picks up.
yeah it sucks here, growing is the only way to get decent. Full of meth head junkies here. Hopefully now that medical got passed for us in michigan more kind will come up north by us.
would depend on alot of things lights, nutes, temps, style of grown. I have seen people get a ounce with a 150 cfl and I have seen people get almost 4 ounces per plant with a 400w hps. Do you have plans on how your gonna grow?
your gonna need a fan or pretty good intake/exhaust I did a closet grow with a 150w hps and temps would spike almost to 110 degrees till I added fans. hps bulbs pump a ton of heat.
