BatGuanoanswered grow question 5 years ago
Dear Caaos,
Usually it is the paper towel method which is very easy and able you to monitor the hatching process. But planting in the soil directly will work just fine as long as your seeds are good. Sometimes they just don't hatch whatever you do.
Hope this helps,
Y

Cómo veo que mi planta entre en la flora?Siempre conté las semanas de floración, aparte de cuando aparecen las plagas, creo que es por eso que nunca obtengo brotes muy densos, porque cosecho antes del momento adecuado. No hago la cosecha aparte de observar la coloración de los morteros. Semillas Regulares GoogletraductoOther. General questions

Pollination question! Help please!I have two tents side by side. Both have inline fans installed with filters. 6 female plants, 1 male, how likely is it for pollen to wind up in with my girls if I keep the male in a separate grow tent? I want to selectively pollinate branches so I still have good bud too.Other. General questions

First Time GrowerI’m first time grower and would like some help on choosing my first seeds. I’m doing an indoor grow, LED lights, Soil Medium, prefer high yielding and high thc, feminised as well.
I’m planning on doing LST and using a SCROG to allow a higher yield.
Thank you :)Setup. Seeds

33% germination rate...Breeder issue?I got my seeds from the Seedsman and only 3 out of 9 survived.
1. Paper towel method til root appears about a half-inch.
2. Put in pre-soaked RootRiot plug, 3 out of 6 died. PH and watering are fine.
3. Then I tried Rockwool again, 3 died.
Do you think this is normal?Week 2

lights during germination/tap root period?Might be abut of a silly question... but I've just germinated 2 seeds, their tap roots are showing so have planted em.. the question is now do they need light at the moment? Or is that only when they show 1st signs of top growth? Thanks in advance.Setup. Strain - Autoflowering

Unknown Intruder alert(?)I have 5 Green Crack Autos.
A random plant popped up in one of my houseplants, no clue as to what sort of seed it is.
Will it cause a problem being in the same tent as the autos?
Can the random one alter the autos depending on its sex?

Can the autos affect the random?Plant. Other

Why has my harvest got seedsOK so looking at my new harvest auto, all is well... However, I have found 1 seed in the whole harvest
How could this be possible from 1 plant on its own? No males were present 100% the only plant that was near was my olive tree and that has fruited, surely it can't be olive?Setup. Seeds
