You know if you wanna germinate your seeds in soil...so you still keep them in a dark place and the siol moist or do you just keep them outside?

i am going to feed my plant and i have some food around the house, which would be better for them now while they're still vegging,
- all purpose plant food 15-30-15
OR
- super bloom 12-55-6 ?

Scratch that i found a 30-10-10 solution from miracle grow gave some to my biggest female yesterday(diluted 1/2) and have noticed big growth so i gave a little to the other guys too.

would super bloom 12-55-6 be good to give when its time to flower?

And to flush before i harvest for about two weeks i just feed them water right?

nice but a few suggestions first i wouldnt keep them in those pots very small those plants will outgrow that if not already, also more sunlight but other than that looks good

I agree with stickynugs. Roots of any plant can be easily damaged from the sun or any strong light. I'd either brush the clear buckets with some black paint or put them in pot's that don't allow light through the sides. May not be a huge issue at this point, but when they get bigger the roots will stay away from the sides of the pots where the sunshine is peering through and may restrict the growth at some point.

they look great otherwise! keep up the good work and good luck to you

austintheviking is right, it looks like you might wanna transplant those babies soon before they become root bound. nice plants though good luck..

UPDATE

so i finally got a hold of a camera.
took a lot of pics, my plants are doing good except for what seems to be bud rot on one plant and some mold/mildew on another. i spray both plants with a dish soap solution for bugs and heard it helps with the mold too. theres 5 plants but one is a tiny clone that looks very strange, another small one and there is three nice bushy plants. all of them are fems.

Shiskaberry:




Sativa#1:

Bubba Kush Clone:


Plant Mold/Mildew:


Bud Rot


Can someone clarify the problem with my plants?
your response....

[fawohodie]

the last pic looks like caterpillar damage, try search a lil bit the plant especially on the inside of the buds if possible

[s00thsayer]

read up on powerdery mildew (and maybe downy mildew). consider picking up some serenade.

[OldSkool1010]

I'm afraid it looks like Botrytis infection (bud rot).

Serenade Garden disease control spray is an organic fungicide Bacillus subtilis that sounds like it is safe to use on MJ, or you can make an organic fungicide of 1 tsp. baking soda and 1/4 tsp. horticultural oil mixed in 1 qt. warm water. Spray frequently on suspected botrytis victims.

thanks Oldskool, i used the organic fungicide looks like its helping protect the buds. should i snip the rotted part of the cola or let it be?

[OldSkool1010]

Ideally, yes. I had a bad time w/ budrot year before last. cut off what you can and try to avoid shaking the plant or touching any other parts. put the cuttings in a bag and burn or bury. Do not composte. botrytis spores will over winter in the soil.

turned out to be caterpillar damage:/
i clipped the caterpillar bud and cleaned it out its now drying is it safe to smoke? i got rid off the eaten at pieces and now looks like some safe budd
