how long does it take to germinate the seeds by paper towel?
When I did this it took about 48 hours for the seeds to germ. The way I did it I took a paper towel got it wet folded it in half twice then placed it on a plate. Then I lifted up the first top layer of the paper towel and placed the seeds there and placed the top layer back on top of the seeds. Then I placed a bowl upside down over the paper towel on the plate (make sure the paper towel does not stick out the side of the bowl) to keep the moisture in and to keep the paper towel from drying out. Then all you have to do is just put your plate in a closet or somewhere dark and warm and wait. Also make sure to check the seeds daily and make sure the towel is still moist. Then once you see the seed sprout about a 1/4 inch or so take the seeds (I use tweezers but I have big hands) and place them in your soil root down and just barely cover the seed with dirt.

Spectacular specimen streetlegal!!! hope to get to that point some day. well done!
ok i have a question for you.
the cola of my girl seems small in comparison to the rest of the buds. some of the side buds are definitely bigger. I did a little LST right before flowering, Did I stress her too much before flower? or is this just genetics? Or Lack of light? I agree with you in advance about getting a better light system, but hey, im just gettin started...Sorry I know you dont have alot o CFL knowlege but Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. As you can imagine, im a little discouraged by all this. Check out my grow journal if youd like

Ok. so i am now 2 months into veg on 2 ak-48 plants... 1 is about 10 inchs and 1 is about 9. I grew all the way through using Foxfarm Growing nutrients. Now that i want to flower, i am using floranova bloom. Would switching brand nutrients like that damage a harm my plants or would it work fine. the reason i did this was because i wasnt sure which foxfarm product to buy for flowering :/ .

Alright I have a couple questions here. First off is it ok to use both sunlight and artifical light on my plant? What I mean by this is would it mess with the rhythm/cycle or hurt my plant in any way if I keep it under lights through the week but on the weekend take it outside in the natural sunlight? I have a fairly big yard but do not feel safe leaving it outside unwatched while I am working but on the weekends I could have it outside for a couple of hours. Also is there any particular soil mix that is head and shoulders above the rest? I have read about people using anything from over 70% perlite in thier mixture to only using regular store bought potting soil and having good results. I will have some more questions for you guys if you can help me out with this. Thanks in advance for any help or insight here.

Hey Raymond. It may sem you have a problem already? That seems awful small for 2 months old? Mine are about 6 wks/ 2 into flower and they are 18 to 24" tall and I topped em and LST'd them. You didn't say if you did the same so I assumed they were not topped or anything? When your post count gets up higher I would post a couple pics so we can take a look.

Peace

Hey.. I just recently got my cannabis card and decided to start growing.. I'll post pics when my lights turn on so you can see what I'm dealing with.. My plants seem to be doing great but I just cant seem to find out how many times I should water my clones.. I bought them a week and a half ago and they were approximately 2 to 3 inches tall. Now after being at my apartment under a 400 watt metal halide bulb they are all around 9 inches tall.... So far so good but I've been watering them about every 2 to 3 days.... Is this right?! Last night they looked like they were loving the light, all the leaves were perky and reaching towards the light but now, I just went in to check on them and the leaves all look saggy and wilted. I'm going to water them right now but I don't want to keep wingin' it! Please help.

I would say THE most you could do under there is 16, providing them with the minimum 1 sq.ft. of space each...you can start them under it, but I would suggest an MH for veg, or cfl lighting...

Pics would help, what size are your pots, and when was the last time you watered???
