I'm a bit confused. While that's nothing new, I'm confused about a growing question as well I've read somewhere in here, that people put their seedlings straight into 12/12/ conditions. While that sounds reasonable to me, I read somewhere else, that putting a plant to 12/12 before pre-flowering can cause hermies. It was explained that the plant thinks it is "missing out" on some pollen and causes it to become a hermie so it can self polinate if necessary. To me that sounds perfectly reasonable as well. So what's the story? 12/12 before pre-flower or not? Or does a seedling not care if it doesn't know any other state than 12/12? AK

Hi guys, I’m after some organic veging fertilizer. Maybe something like fish emulsion or something. My soil consists of organic compost mainly, With small amounts of -vermiculite -perlite -propagation sand -peat moss It also has a healthy amount of blood and bone mixed into it. I also have seasol for a folia spray and all purpose sort of feed, what is the view on seasol? I have a bottle of monstah bud for flouring. So any recommendations or info?

Evening all y'all. Feelin' really fat after a big dinner with Mom so I'll probably be short Just thought I'd let you know that there's a great way to sketch out the basic details of a grow cupboard / room / warehouse, would be interested to see if anyone else had seen this. I heartily apologise if this sounds like an ad. It's not in any way shape or form. HONEST .. . . anyway It's a free prog by google called sketchup. found it the other week, and after an hour of picking it up I had got the hang of the basics. There are limitations - Curly vent duct, pipes and leads I havn't sussed yet, but layout for lights/plants etc it BRILLLLLLLL. You can see snags …

Seed germination is very easy, get some seed raising mix, stick the seed in, water it and hope for the best. To get that little bugger the right start in life, when the seed is in the mix, water it with a solution of trace elements. Yes trace elements. You keep using the trace element solution until true leaves are form, then use your normal ferts.

Hey guys. Im a real newbie when it comes to growing and was going to buy some seeds for my own stash because its so dry out here in Perth but i really have no idea, usually when i buy, it comes straight from the bag, and into my grinder. I have no idea what happens to it before then. What im looking for is a grow guide that will help me through growing and curing, but also the steps taken after to the smallest detail, what parts of the plant to i use and that kind of thing. almost like a 'Growing Weed For Dummies' book? if anybody knows where i can get something like that i would REALLY appreciate it.
