I find the sweet spot is between 22-24. Heating matt below your container connected to a thermostat is perfect and you get point precision. the bigger the bubbler just add more heating pads to the outer case..

Hey 420 Ok well this is how i've done it for the last 10 years with no dud seeds. I take my seeds put them into either a small bankie, or into those small glass vials. You can put a grain of rice or 3 (or silica gel balls) in with them, just to keep the moisture away incase it creeps in. Then they go into an air tight container with one of those silica gel packs (you find them in new shoes). Then into the fridge. I must emphasise that the spot you choose should be your spot, as you dont want a fluctuation of temps, which can sprout seeds if the conditions are right. I use the top shelf or the veg drawer. Then go about as usual when sprouting them.. Awe

With an aircooled 400w, you will never get light bleaching.. it only ever happens with 1000w as reaf says. And trust me, Ive had buds touching the cooled hoods glass with no problem, but maybe a bit of drying out. but never bleached.

Interesting. But I stand by that Hermies are genetic, and all of those things just either bring it out earlier due to stress or un-optimal condition's. Plant will always want to reproduce, so they will always put seeds down if left long enough. But if the genetics are not stable then your ratio of female male will be bad. Males aren't a bad thing if you want to breed.

Damn just missed it...

Totally... Rather wait till you done.. Wouldn't wanna risk it. The change of lighting time won't do anything, but rather wait bud...

Thanks for that Reaf Aou just cleared up my mind aswell. now I have a better understanding of whats going on. More knowledge equals better performance... What do you do by trade? Grow well

I still stand by using the 12-1 method that I posted on (see below) http://http://www.420sa.co.za/index.php/topic,457.msg3455.html#msg3455 You save +-55% on your electricity use,increases yield by 30-40%, shortens flower period by 10-14 days..

I second reaf... And even if you just want a quick grow, you don't have any guaranteed quantity above like 5g. Rather ask around for some clones that your cab throw straight into flower. Do a (SOG) sea of green. Auto flowers are the destruction of regulars. Autos have no place in proper growing I say....

Coco where did you get that hygrometer with the probe from?

Thats great that you will be prepacking them.. I always had a bad feeling when i recieve seeds that are in a bankie and not in a sealed bag.. who know what that seed is....

Good spotting Max...

420!!!! Looking good brother.. I like that they are ageing well. you are getting the right nitrogen draw, its not a deficiency.. How i would love to have a taste of that.. I can see you have taken care of her... she shall reward you friend.. Good work, cant wait to see what you do next..

Thanks The torrent one works perfect..

Link dont work... I click it and it takes me to other sites....

Those are some very healthy looking plants you have there.. I think you should clean them up on the bottoms.. Every like a clean shaven lady, hairy legs just dont do it. Keep up the good work...

please share a link for the download...

In all fareness... If you plant a seed and it doesnt germinate or break the medium surface, then it wasn't a healthy seed to begin with. By letting a seed germ and grow in its original medium, the root structure will be it's healthiest as the tap root doesn't get exposed to light or get handled, which in turn will damage the root hair. So put your seeds about 2mm under the surface, keep moist ( not wet) and keep the area -+22 deg. Then patience is the game... Just my 2 cents

Hey Reaf So I see you say Breeder Test #34... Is this your 34th test batch you growing? How do you select your males? what traits do you favour? And how do you select your Ladies? Traits? Im just curious on different methods to select desirable traits etc.. Peace

OK coco.. Well obviously it doesn't need light while below the surface, but as soon as it breaks the surface it should be under lights, not too weak so as to avoid stretch... A dual flouro right above will ensure as little stretch as possible...

You should make a drench.. so 10ml to 1L. drench from the top and then dry out the medium. so do less waterings. Sorry max... HIJACK...

Lets hold thumbs.. And movement is good, just not stationary

I generally would say. Learn how to grow and get the yields you want with technology that works. Then play around with new tech.. You are only as good as your own skill level. Best equipment isn't going to make you grow massive amounts all of a sudden...

It's crazy how much dust you actually pull into your room. What material are you using?

What size uniseal are those? And where did you get them and how much?
