Next year I plan to get my hands on a feminized seed (might have to just order some from attitude and take the risk) and grow just one plant, but scrog the living hell out of it for a nice big harvest
I have never ordered from attitude but I have ordered from Nirvana twice now. 1st time was 5x fem white widow, I had them in my hand 10 days after ordering and the packing was so stealth it took me a minute to find them myself.
2nd time was just a week ago 5x fem ice, 5x fem snow white, 5x fem papaya, all arrived 7 days exactly after I ordered them in a different style of stealth packing, equally effective.
all 5 of the white widows germinated using paper towel method, I expect the same form my recent order.

nice, i have looked at both, i actually like nirvana seeds web page much better than the attitude but where attitude had the lucky 7 promo i wanted to get on on that. i ordered. overseas delivery took 10 days from date of order (not bad imo)
it was packed with a T-shirt, customs tag said "t-shirt" they never even broke the seal to check it. so far germed 3/20 seeds and all 3 germed. not expecting all 20 to germ but the first 3 i tried are up and running
not trying to praise Attitude just giving an honest review

Ive just always heard .3gpw for cfl and .5gpw for Hid, this is not always true because I have seen test done with advanced nutrients under a 1k light and they got 2.1gpw which is amazing, that was a nutrient comparison video on youtube.

hey man not trying to be a dick, but its kind of bad form to tell on a forum how a seed bank actually "stealth" packs thier stuff. Its enough of a gamble without us all giving away the tactics ya know?
turns out I am a dick after all, my bad and apologies!

They actually say right on their website they they do this. You pay extra for it. They have other gifts they send too.

Hey man, thanks for the kind words
no no, thank you. you see some people do it, but not alot. and like u said, the 1st thing someone would think of is overwatering after seeing still pictures on the internet of how its done and then they wont even take that technique into account. that is what i thought after seeing some people do that at first, but then i seen a in depth journal of someone who was using this technique with excellent results on his crops everytime. And now u just layed down the mallot for me to trust it IMO. i read alot of bad shit here and there about greenhouse seed seeds but IMO they have the best watering technique. regular waterings, heavy flushing and letting the medium get super dry b4 the next watering. which is why i like the technique u use matt, because in a way its almost the thing.... ( your going to let ur soil dry good 9 outta 10 times after a flush)
with that said; notebooks out people.

i dont think i use the techique you are talking about, i just do this every few weeks to make sure there is no hydrophobic soil in my pots (soil that repels water)
i just transplanted all my seedlings last night into mud, the pots have good drainage and will drain properly eventually so i didnt see a issue with it. i probally should have gave them a day to dry out but im not overly concerned. i have a seedling in a 10gal tote and im thinking i wont actualy have to water it for a month at least but next week im giving all my plants a good dose of worm casting tea with some happy frog fert aditives, then after that i probally wont water again for a while(at least my 10 gal tote)
like i said as long as the seedling has a established stalk (should be able to lightly pinch it and not damage it) and the soil drains well it should be really tough to overwater a plant.
now, if you have a pot that dosent drain (no holes in the bottom) well you need to go back to growing 101 for startes, you can easily drown a plant.
the biggest mistake i see people making is when they put them germinated seeds into the soil they water it, and water it, and water it. this causes damping off(rotting) of the immature stem (i am guilty of this myself)
a well drained pot will only hold a certain amount of moisture/water, after it reaches its capacity it drains out the bottom

Picked up a baby medicine syringe and a 2 liter bottle today to use for mixing my nutes. Also did a flush on my soil by running water from the bath tub threw them a couple times. Figured out all the amounts of everything I'll be adding so on their next watering we'll see if they like it

Opened the closet today when the lights turned on for some fresh airflow and WOW did the girls like their flushing yesterday!!!! I've never seen both plants look so happy. Not a droopy leaf in sight and a wonderful aroma
the buds are starting to look delicious. I'm loving this grow!!!

Well since my last plant turned out to be male I decided to go ahead and get started on my second attempt at our closet grow. This time around I've got 5 seeds germinating in a wet paper towel (last time I only did 3).
Lights: 4 100w 5000k CFL's
Medium: 0.21 -0.07 -0.14 MG Moisture Control Potting Mix (Has served me well my past grows)
This is the hanger system I'll be using again, works pretty well
This time I think I'm going to want to try and do the 4-way LST on my babys, seems like the perfect ammount of playing with it for just the right size of plants I want.
Any comments/criticism/questions welcomed!! I'm still a newby since my last plant didn't make it a month! Happy toking!!
The bulb says 26W? and where do u see 5k? Im a newb sorry :/. Sexy grow tho!
