You say to take the clone from a lateral branch,is 3 or 4" best? and that cool green guy shows the top side for his clone but i have read they should come from the lower branch ends,whats the best place?

And since theres prolly no directions for these plants on your bottle,you can delay the nutes when starting from seed for the first 3-4 weeks. And is the rule for clones to start with 1/4 normal nutes and increase slow?

I was thinkin like i have a 10 plants. Out of those 10 plants, lets say 7 were medium height(indica) and 3 were tall(sativa).
Would the tallers ones block out light to the smaller ones?
Do i have the option of using multiple strains at a time in sog, or do you think its best to use 1 strain at a time?

If your new to this using a single strain will be alot easier.

alright, ive been doing my research for a while and i still hear variations of germination and drying techniques

heres what ive heard, some say paper towels are the best and others say they have a very low success rate, i think i would use this method because it sounds (from most) to be the best

and drying i hear time is a friend to the bud. if i were to just harvest heres what i would do, tell me where im wrong or if theres a better way to do things....hang everythig upside down for about 15 days letting it dry (i also heard about using a sweat box for about an hour a day to help the process) and then put it in mason jars for about 15 more days giving it a half hour a day to breathe

any tips here? and dont tell me to search cause i did...alot, and people have so many opinions on whats the best method to use i cant find a real consensus and i figure here is where i can get one

You may find there are very few reliable ppl who would say the paper towel method has a very low success rate,prolly bad seed or chem. in the water or just a poor PH,I have read the curing (jar) stage,can open the jar from 30min. to six hours a day and a month or more of curing makes for a smoother smoke but after several months potentcy drops.

I cant remember if JCJ has ever told anyone to just do a search! He started this thread saying any noob or Adv. questions will be answered usually by 5pm. the next day if i remember right.

Should I leave my intake and exhaust fans running 24/7 or should I put them on the timer with the lights? Lights will be on 18/6.

My first srpouts have come in and are about 4". But they are starting to droop. What should I do?


Sorry for the large image, I dont know how to resize. I am going to buy a few large pots. Grandpas guide says to use 1and 1/2 galf pots. Should I use something bigger?

I'd like to know the answer to this as well.

Also, would it be better to have your intake coming in from the bedroom to the closet or through the outside wall to the closet? This is my first glow. I've just obtained 3 jack flash clones 2-3 inches in height. (Once they are larger I will use my microgarden I just purchased.) I'm in the southwest so outside high temps are now 50-85 degrees (low/high). I'm only using a cf at this point so high temps are not a concern yet. I wonder if there is a way to have intake from both directions depending on what the outside temp is.

yes, just place the seed in the hole of a 1" rock cube, & water till its heavy vs when its not wet.

Never hook up your cooling/ventilation system to a timer (not a good idea at all). I would rather have them on 24/7, if I could not hook them to a thermostat. So hooking them to a timer is bad advice.

I try and maintain an even temperature in my grow, so I plug my exhust fan into a thermostat. I found the best thermostats to be the ones made by Ranco. They are $45 unwired (ebay) and $70 wired to an extension cord. Very simple to wire your self.

u want to take a clone from any lateral branch that has at least 3 nodes on it, just like in the vid. there are other vid in my library that show how to clone , thc dvd, jeorge dvd, mr. green dvd, & i think high times dvd has is to
