You could try my method... I usually get 100%.
Soak 12-24 hours (it appears from this germ 12 is all that's needed) in lukewarm water
Premoisten soil in pots (tho if you're not doing soil don't know what you'd use
) & plant seeds 1/4 - 1/2" deep
Put a dome over each pot (I use appropriately sized ziploc bags) and keep at 68-72 (to get high fem ratio)
When the sprout comes up, take the dome off after it's spread it's leaves up and started greening up.
Like I said, I usually get 100%
Yeah that air will fuck your humidity up real good... I had my clone dome in my flower room for a couple days because it's perfect temps and a constant source of light, but there was so much air the humidity in the dome wouldn't keep up... didn't lose'm, but moved'em to a new room. That reminds me I need to go up and get them and do a check on them to see how they're doing
My cab has to be disassembled to get out the door too
If I ever have to take it down real quickly I'm fucked, although it could be done in probably 10 minutes with a lot of loud banging
I've been using my LEDs to veg since I got'em... even most LED detractors'll admit they're good for veg
You can keep the internodal distance real tight or loose depending on how close you put the lights... never any issue with heat from lights being too close
I prefer my veg model led for my vegging but the flower ones seem to work just fine.
I was watching a vid last week where sub went and visited a grow in oregon and the guy basically lived in a housing subdivision on top of a big ass hill/small mountain and almost everyone who lived there also grows in the same neighborhood.... that's the kinda place I want to live
I can't even imagine having all my neighbors also be growers... one of the things with being a grower is it keeps you fairly isolated from the neighbors... i have a feeling the majority of my neighbors either smoke or would be cool with it, but just not even going to try and find out... definitely don't want to sell to anyone in my hood... don't wanna shit where you eat
I'm doing the whole 'try to use my extra harvest buds to finance a move west' as well
Just haven't decided where... so hard to decide between cali, oregon and washington... they each have their own pros and cons. Also depends on what happens with work I've already decided I'm going to have to give'm an ultimatum at some point this year... they basically hired me at the promise of one rate, then said the work I was going to be doing was for a position in a lower pay range, then lost a bunch of people and I ended up taking up their responsibilities and doing the position I was initially hired for the higher rate at... but they haven't upped my pay back to the market value rate for what I do AND didn't get a raise last year, this year and so far they're saying not going to give a raise next year either. Meanwhile over 40 I only got so many years people will actually hire me before they decide I'm too old to work, so it's kind of hard to justify not going out and getting another job paying $10k/year more, which I could easily do -- BUT where i'm at now is pretty comfortable and flexible on work hours and i'm settled in... going somewhere else I'll have to go do interviews, probably have to buy some fake lab urine to pass a piss test, maybe end up having to do even more work than I do now (which wouldn't be good gotta have time for my garden and fam) and then for all I know the first time bad economic news comes along it's going to be last hired first fired.... the company I'm at now the only way I'm getting fired is if they're going under or they find out about my usage somehow... hard to give up a job that does pay well and you know you're not gonna get fired for. I'm gonna give'm the ultimatum that I either need the raise to my market value (i've definitely done a lot to justify what I do for the company) or if they won't they need to let me work from home -- I'm the only tech person who works for the company who actually has to come into the office. Most of them do not even live in our state... but they refused to let me do it when I asked before because they said they were trying not to have more people working at home and those people are basically grandfathered... funk that. I wanna be home with the fam taking care of my garden
I'm going to tell them a big part of the reason is looking to relocate out of state as well... I think they'll go for it rather than give me the raise. Once I move west I'm gonna really expand things up and work on harvesting 3-4lbs/month of high quality indoor/month and getting set up to move that... if I keep working my current job from home and do that I'll more than double my income... Shoot 2lbs/mo would double my take home if I weren't paying taxes on it
We're working on having a second home in the Philippines sometime down the line my wife's from there. I'd be tempted to move there if a few things were different but they're fucking draconian in their drug laws way worse than the US and prisons are way worse too... lived there for a year already I gotta say I enjoyed it a lot more than the rat race here, but couldn't grow there either. My wife misses those times because I had a lot more time to spend with her now between the job and the grow it's never enough for her
Thanks for stopping by Easy!!
So I'll be running wayyyy too much light for my little plants. Oh well.. should have some fat nugs on them by the end.
