Growing indoors and then out.
Anyone start their plants indoors due to cold weather and then transplant outdoors? Lots about growing indoors or out but nothing out there about doing both. I'm mostly concerned about the indoor light cycle. Dont want to trigger flower when I move them outside.

C.o.m question and pre soak before transplant or after?
I'll be transplanting into coast of main Stonington blend. I've read it can be too hot but is that just for germinating? Or for seedlings too? I'll be adding some of the happy frog happy soil I used for germination under where I plant them. Is it good to pre soak the soil?

How difficult is it to make clone from tetraploid or hexaploid.
Would polyploid weed cutting take root and clone as usual? I treated my Golods plant with colchicine. They maybe triploid already. So, I think I have s plant that is either tetraploid or hexaploid. Would these clone at all? Do I need to take extra cuttings?

Why is crossing genetics on a breeder level such a big thing and crossing genetics after harvest (let's say like cocktails-receips) almost no thing at
Why is crossing genetics on a breeder level such a big thing and crossing genetics after harvest (let's say like cocktails-receips) almost no thing at all? The mixture of effects and tastes would be much easier to test, the desired goal easier to reach. Or am I wrong?

Pro regular cultivators: How to select females?
Para los cultivadores de semillas regulares: Que recomiendas? Es mejor hacer esquejes y poner 12x12 para determinar el sexo o simplemente poner las mismas plantas a 12x12 y volver a vegetar? Antiguamente usaba el segundo método, pero aquí hay profesionales y quiero su opinión.

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
