I've seeded a few plants outdoors and was wondering if there's a good way to clean seeds before storage. I was thinking of swirling them around in diluted H2O2 or 70% alcohol for a minute or so, then dry. Any thoughts?

You dont need light all night to keep it from flowering. You can use the Gaslamp Routine. 12 on, 5.5 off, 1 on, 5.5 off. I use it for veg and am pretty happy with it.

Hi Sara, Can you tell me what the details of the current 144x5w reflector are? The web page seems to still have the old data. Coverage, watts drawn, etc...? Are the prices listed still correct? Thanks!

My Cal/Mag strategy isn't to add more at feedings, but more often in moderate amounts. Outdoors I only used it every 4th or 5th watering/feeding, now I'm using @ 50% every time I feed/water. If you add too much of any supplement/nutrient at one time you can lock out other minerals. Another...

Hi Sara, I'm in organic soil and nutes, so PH is not as much of an issue. Like I said, it's only 2 strains out of 18 that are a problem., so I just wont be running those 2 in future gardens. I'm using CalPlus organic and epsom salt, and it's working well on all the other plants. I keep my RH...

:hmmmm:

Thanks for the info and advice, Zero. Yeah, this is my first indoor, never used HID, so nothing to compare to. I started with 18 strains from seed. 2 of them, Critical Skunk and Glazed Cookies didn't seem to like the LED. Simultaneously showing N toxicity, cal/mag and phosphorus deficiencies...

Day 12

Zero: Yeah, I went ahead and took your advice, moved them up to 28"on day 6. On day 10 they stretched another 4" or so with the lights at 28". I moved them back up to 28". Day 15 (today) and they have only stretched another inch or so, so I guess the stretch is pretty much over. So, so far only...

Day five of flower. 20 plants, 18 strains, 24-35" tall, all from seed. Everything stretched 1-3 inches with lights at 16". Not much at all! I want to minimize stretch somewhat, but damn, that's not much. I went ahead and raised all lights from 16" to 22" above plants. With the exception of one...

Thanks Antics. 12-16", that's not much. I've got my lights at 16". I think I'll move one of my lights up to 24" and see if distance from the light has any effect on stretch. What are your genetics, indica, sativa, etc..? I'm going to measure mine every 4 days or so and post it here for the...

Thanks guys. I did talk to Mark, he suspected a ground issue. When the lights go on again I will hook one up to the other 220 line that runs the other side of the room thru a different timer/wire and breaker.. I"d be surprised if it was a wiring issue as we just put it in, new breakers 12 gauge...

Is the stretch in flower with LED's comparable to HID? I've heard that plants will stretch a bit less with LED's, strain dependent of course, but I'm just thinking in general terms. My plants are around 30" (not including pot) and I have about that much room for stretch, then they will be...

Thanks Grizz. I believe it may be something inherent to the switch when running off 220. If you manually turn it off with the power switches, it doesn't glow. I believe the 20 amp timer is fine as there are 4 other mars II 900's going thru it on the same line, a daisy chain of 20 amp outlets. I...

Hey all, Regarding the 450, has anyone noticed they have a slight glow after turned off? I'm starting flower today and noticed it while I was checking for light leaks in complete darkness. Does this slowly fade away? Could it have something to do with them being on 220 circuit? My 300's don't do...
