From my very limited experience it seems like the good old paper towel to solo cup or straight to solo cup seems a happy start. The rockwool cubes and coco pucks seem more used for clones?

They all work when it’s dailed in
All have pluses all have negatives
For ease of use and cost it’s generally accepted pucks plugs cubes for clones
Soil for seeds
For clones you generally look for roots , so pucks plugs etc allow you to see roots easier ( clear view down sides etc ) for clones it’s all about seeing roots as success
For seeds you watching the top surface for growth so only soil needed ( no need to look down sides ) for seeds it’s all about seeing top growth for success

thanks.
So far the one that has popped up looks good at least.

impression that root riots were good for germination

Was just curious, now that I’ve gotten comfortable and set up with everything, if you had any tips on using the controller?
The heater finally became available on Amazon so I got that in the mail a couple days ago. Got the humidifier and pretty much everything controlled by the controller… Two clip fans on a splitter and the exhaust. All except for the lights… It’s nice…pretty sure I’m set for winter now.
Just making sure I’m not missing out on any advanced features or anything… I think I’ve got it dialed in pretty well.

Any advice on flowering this tent?
A huge stagger in plants age as you can see… I’m thinking maybe a month out, raise up the small ones to canopy. I’m also hoping the big ones level off a little bit after they max out the 3 gallons… first real grow so I don’t really know.
I don’t mind killing off a couple if there’s too many in there.
I also forget how much they grow vertically during flower.
Next time won’t have staggered germination or this many plants… had some bad germination issues starting out.

If you want to smoke bud in 3 months flip now
If you want to smoke bud in 4 months , flip a month later
If you flip now you will have a less yield than if you wait a month but you will be smokin earlier ( trade off )
If it was me I would flip now and aim for smokin some on New Year’s Eve
Learn from it ( dailing in flowering etc )
And make next grow even better , constantly improving every grow
Some of them smaller ones could be male tho ? Throw you a curve ball
But that’s growin , just got to make a decision , run with it and learn more for next time , it’s all experience

I appreciate that perspective and reply, man. Thank you.
I’ll wait till I’ve identified all of them and then flip… Probably a couple weeks or so

That sounds like a great plan

Do you think I’m at risk of my plants being too tall for the tent? I was talking to another guy in the chat and he said that plants can get 4 to 5 times as tall during flower.
I had no idea. now I’m worried my tent is too small / waited way too long to flower them

Yes if your growing pure sativas etc but your not ( I dont think you are )
Sure sometimes some grow taller than expected , some stay shorter
If too tall then train them lower
If some smaller then raise them higher
You can get a general idea from strain descriptions or parent’s description s of predicted stretch
In general it’s rare to get it all perfect especially if growing different strains all at once
With experience and time you will learn what to expect from certain type strains and how to manage your grow room
And you will still be throwin some curve balls to deal with
That’s some of the fun of growing

Switching over tonight to 12 and 12
Any tricks for the first day of flower? I’m planning on switching their feed slowly over to a flower-based , less N , over the next few waters.
I think we finally got everything tuned in. These plants really started taking off once we got the ph , calcium , and magnesium straightened out.
They aren’t perfectly healthy, but considering all they’ve been through I think they look pretty decent. You were there for it all lol

A great turnaround : )
You don’t change feed for 14-21 days after flip
They need the n in veg feed for stretch ie stem and leafs in overdrive , once you see buds the size of your baby fingernail forming , then change feed to flower

You will need pk 13/14 or similar in 4 weeks time
Best that you get it now

A blue lab ec meter would be nice too
It’s easy to use and more fun than ph meter , you will like it
Trust me and get one
