What happens to a seed that is growing outside? It gets light when the sun is out and darkness at night. You need to recreate that cycle. 18/6 light schedule. Happy growing.

What would you do?
I have 4 plants, two autos (one cream one tangerine dream) and two photo period (strawberry cough). I can put two in an indoor tent and the other two will go outside (all in fabric pots). What plants would you put where? Tent is small and can handle only two plants. Thanks!

Minor compost tea - how long will it keep
I have a 5 gal bucket of dechlorinated water, ph 6.5 and ppm 300. Watering seedlings to the bucket is going to last a while until empty. I wasn’t thinking when I made it up. How long will this be okay to water with? I have bubblers in it and keep it covered.

During this crucial switch between veg to flowering, plants are unhappy about the $2000 stim check. Must appease them, pls help
Switched to 12-12 and damn... that preflowering stretch is no joke. My 3x3 is overflowing with fan leaves. Humidity has gone up on its own since the switch, from ~20-30 to 50-70%. Idk why. Reading about flowering. Any pointers? Start adding flow nutes?Room up,maxed horizontal

Do you Clone your plants and what process or method do you use?

12/12 with autos in flower?
I’ve never grown autos so I’m looking for some advice.. Is it better switch your lights to 12/12 when the plant goes into flower? I feel like in theory this would make sense for THC development. Thank you

Watering practice okay?
When I water, I run 2 gallons of Ro water through every plant. I let them sit and drain for about an hour then I proceed to water them again, but this time with nutes (1100 ppm/6.4 ph). Let them drain, then they go back into the tent. Is that a waste or not? I have no issue.

Only allowed 3 plants
I’m only allowed 3 flowering and 3 veg plants at a time in my state, what would be the best training techniques to maximize space in my 5x5 with this short/bushy girl? I’m thinking topping, LST and scrogging after a long veg period to really grow out the branches.
