If i shouldnt use a sponge then wat should i use to make them sprout fast?

What I do is put seeds in a folded paper towel, put towel in pie plate and give a good soaking, ( completely cover towel first time ) then put another pie plate over top to block out light. Put in dark, cool place. Keep towel moist. Seeds will start to sprout within days.
Good luck

thanks man i appreciate it but unfortunatly i have problems i think, to reiterate my plants are 13 days old a have a couple of good sized ones the rest average, i had my ppm for the first 11 days at 300 i moved the ppm up to about 430 i have my lights 2 ft from grow tips, using hid mh bulb my temp averages 82 and highs are about 87, my leaves have yellow spots and the leaves have a papery texture, i drained my reservoir and put fresh water into it and have been running it like that for about four hours, could my ppms have been to low at 430 13 days into grow, i am trying to download pics but it says i have to have 800x800 assuming pixels don't know how to shrink the photo thanks mike

The 'puppy skin' leaves are usually a result of heat stress, your thermometer confirms it. You will need to address this issue. If it's too hot when you have that furnace two feet above the plants, think of what its going to be like when you try to get it close enough to do any good?
Yes, your nutes could be too low of a concentration as well, step it up a quarter and see what happens, but deal with the heat issue. VV

Hi welcome to our forum. We are not a group of haters, we understand people are people and we check before we flame them. I'm checking you out now. VV

Hello everyone I am starting my first grow and i have several seedlings started (hoping at least 1/3 are female) Well they are like 2 weeks into growth and some are like 2 inches tall however i am having a problem i know my lights are to far away and i need more light. I wasn't ready to start this grow but was handed several seedlings already i a week into growth couldn't turn it down. But my problem is it looks like some of my second leaves are burnt some how. I haven't been using nutes as i haven't gotten paid since i got the plants and was going to do that on payday. Also the lights have been to far away because of the lights i do have (was going to change this on pay day aswell) so what could be causing my burnt babies can anyone help me. The area is kept at a decent temp 70 to 75 degrees and i am using cfl lights 60 watts 2 of them (going to be getting more) lights are about 6 inches from tops of plants if i put plants on a box. humidity is decent as they are in the nursery trays.
Please any ideas would be of great assitance to prevent loosing the little angles.
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum, mnoel. A picture of the plants would be necessary to help you. The conditions your describing should not burn the plants. If you could start a journal and post some pictures we might be able to help. And did I mention we also like pictures. VV

I do have some pics i just have to get them onto the computer am still getting used to digital camera and computer set up. I will post as soon as i can figure it out. but from my reading it looks like i am having a potassium difficiancy. So i am thinking that what it is. I am really excited about this and will have some pics as soon as possible. thanks.

These are the best pics i can get but the edges of the little ones next to the hand are slightly discolored and look a little burnt. But as i was reading today researching about the problem i have and it sounded like some potassium difficiancy. maybe a little mag difficianncy.
Let me know what you think they are about 2 weeks old and i was givin them so i didn't start them and don't know what was done before i got them.
thanks for any help, or advise and opinions.

Those plants don't need anything except water and then only after they are dried out some. If you like you can take a look at the Hemp Warp Seedling to compare. These were planted on the 17th and the last one is from today. The story is buried in the Blues thread. It should be interesting reading if you take the time. VV

sup everyone? im new to RIU witch i have just been checking some things out over the days and im wasteing to much money buying frome a local dealer, witch costs alot of $ through at the end of the week..before i hade a girlfrieand everything was good lol...but now i just moved in a new house and bought her 2 baby bulldogs..and this shit is start to add up very big amounts...so ima try and just grow alil garden for my personal use...so if any one out there know any setups where dosnt cost alot $ and easy to grow some nice bud them please let me know...thanx

Whatup guys. I came across this forum looking for growing info and it seems like a helpful group to be a part of. Just started my first growing venture this month and plan on using this forums as a resource book since the ppl here seem to be pretty cool. I've already picked up alot of knowledge reading through posts. See you around.

I have a question, im lookin at lights to buy for the garden, i was gonna just go with cfl's but i figured, hell, why not go all in, so i'm gonna get HID's (i've seen alot of people talk about how good they are) but i'm not sure what exactly to get, i was looking at these:
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][SIZE=+1]Mini Sun 250 & 400 HID Plant Grow Lights[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=+1]Price:[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] $160[/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Price:[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] $165[/SIZE][SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Price:[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] $180[/SIZE][SIZE=+1][/SIZE] [SIZE=+1]Price:[/SIZE][SIZE=+1] $185[/SIZE][SIZE=+1][/SIZE]
T5 Fluorescent & HID Grow Lights for Plants from ACF Greenhouses

Which ones should i get? would like to spend 400 or less overall on lights, and hoping to plant like 3 plants every 3 weeks(through seeds each time, i don't know how comfortable i am with cloning and cutting my babies). Thanks for any and all help.

Well....hmmm, lets see 12 plants total in flowering. $400.00 budget for lights. Does that include the exhaust, air cooling for that furnace light??
Cloning is not overrated. It will fit the type of op you are talking about and we will help you learn how. VV

im starting my 1st plant this week. its purple haze and pineapple haze! i need to know the right amount of water and soil ect. i also need to know if the plant will still grow in 90% humid 96 degress F florida summer
and does pineapple really raise the THC?
any secrets or advice please send.

hey matt here i got 3 seedlings growing and they seem to be doing fine....i have a incandesent light bulb in a metal reflector...it seems kinda hot but im keeping them about a foot away.....the box sais it gives out 2800 lumens that should be enough for seedlings right

I have a question about my babies they only have two sets of leaves, the little oval ones and then the next set is the first actual leaves, however on a few of my plants the leaves are pointing strait up like they are praying or something is there a reason for this or is this normal this is my first grow and it kinda makes me wonder what i am doing wrong. Please any help would be great.
Thanks.
Ive enclosed a pic but my camaras resolution is not the best. Sorry...

The outside IP address is all that is required to track any public message. could the cops could subpoena rollitup.org records (ie users IP addresses) then track from there. But It doesn't really seam like a major concern around here. Sorry to be buzz kill. How long has rollitup.org been around?

Hi, I am a newbie definatly! I love to watch things grow, and I am determined to be sucessful in anything I do. I have grown fruits and veggies outdoors in a garden and now would like to try to see if I can sucessfully grow a weed plant. I have started with some seeds from my last midgrade sac. I used the mini Jiffy greenhouse and planted .5 inch, once I saw sprouts I removed the lid. I thin put the cakes in a trunk with 2 flourescent 20w sun light tubes just above little plants. They came up quick and look healthy. I move them to a window for a few hours when the sun is strong, then back in the trucnk. No matter how much I read I still encounter problems. For example this morning my biggest plant which is about 4" high and has 4 leave was withered and fell over. I watered with distilled water and put him in the window sill, literally 10 minutes later he was upright and healthy again. I plan on getting a dual light set up next week. My MAIN concern now is getting stronger stems and how to sucessfully get the plants out of the seedling stage, and also when and how to sucessfully transplant. Please help! Thank you.
