unless I soak my seeds first mine dont work. lol. that simple.
also I plave them in RR then I place them right in dirt. I put a clear beer cup over the RR. I keep that sprayed with ro water.
only use ro water. 24 tapwater is not good enuf.
aerate my teas for 18-24 hours. For bacteria in soil
I use Super Plant Tonic on eBay. It is organic bacterial inoculant, that worls wonders. Also I thow in fresh worm castings, compost, and manure for bacteria and a little NPK.
I started in hydro like everyone else. Then I learned about organic soil. Now I grow organic trees in 7 gallons of dirt. Wish I would have done that in the first place.
lights are everything. Just buy the biggest HID you can afford and all the support equipment. You need need need cool temps.
77 in lights on and 71 in lights out is what i use mostly. An 8 degree drop in night temps stimulates resin
10. uvb cfl will help the plant make resin.
that is all for now.
