I mean the intentional breeding of two plants, how long does it take?

How long do you think it takes a female plant to go from vegging to having viable seeds that can be planted???

I'm sorry I didnt include pictures, I'll take a few in a bit. My cuts are about a month old, nerly 9 inches tall, I don't have a cooler but there is a fan on the floor which keeps the air moving as well as A/C that keeps the room under 79*F. I start them under CFLs and the genetics are mostly...

Why do my plants always stunt or burn when I put them under my HPS? I've never been able to get something growing under it without it dying. I'm running a 400w HPS with a 430w Sun Agro bulb a little more than a foot above the plants. Any tips would be really cool :-)

Right now in my 30gal and 18gal tanks I have 10 Tilapia in each. Their water is usually around the same as my tap which is about 8. I'm not worried about the buffering, as I do this EVERY SINGLE TIME I do a water change anyway (don't we all)? What I'm asking about is the bacteria and if it will...

What kind of meat eater? As long as he digests his food all the way and you give it a day or 2 to break down completely then it should be fine to feed to dirt. I always take it from the top anyway (since sediments sink).

My houseplants always loved fish tank water in soil, you can see the difference. Yes, bacteria would be needed to convert the ammonia into nitrites, and then further down into nitrates but bacteria generations cycle every 8 hours, and on top of that I would just not feed my fish 2 days before I...

Do you guys think this would work for a hydro/aero system? With all the nitrites and nitrates in it, it seems like it would be beneficial (especially adding on more nutes) and its always made a difference with my house plants (in dirt), but I'm worried about the bacteria being bad for the...

I've used it for fish but how would you use it for plants, as a dip or in the res? I added an air fan to one of the holes I drilled for a pot which should deliver some cooler air. How else can I cool it besides buying a Chiller? I'll post some pix up tonight fo sho.

With the timer I'm using the shortest interval is 15 minutes on or off. Where do you get timers that control shorter times and how much are they? I'm using foxfarms nutes at half strength. They do not smell but I have a very little sense of smell so I can't tell, and I'm pretty sure I wouldnt...

I have my timer set to 15 minutes on/15 minutes off, how am I still getting brown on my roots? They are not rotten or rotting, its more like a layer of browness (for lack of a better word). I recently re-added an airpump that pumps 24/7, but is there any other reason this would be happening...

I wanted to use Hydrogen Peroxide to completely eliminate all chance of algae growth and water mold and all the other nasties, and I've heard that Hydrogen Peroxide is great for this, but would it also eat away and destroy my foxfarms nutes that i'm adding? Right now my garden is at 50% nutes so...

Is it possible for plants to overdose?

How close are you supposed to put the ends of the cuts to the water? Is it ok to leave the air pump on 24/7?

Fox Farms Grow Big, Vitamin B, Superthrive, and General Organics BioWeed all in the reccomended amounts. I have a fog/dwc hybrid system, I was thinking it was cuz the fog was on too much for too long (like on for 4 hours, off for 1 for about a week) so I switched it back to about 30 minutes on...
