1 qt will last ur whole grow for 1 auto for sure but only make what u need as u feed em as the pH is only stable about 3days. MAKE SURE TO GET CALIMAG as well start with 1/4 dose. When u do water/feed make sure ur water is room temp or it will put ur plants in shock
 
The other of the fox farm nutes I dnt use as they really dnt need it for the price u pay one other thing is if u wanna enhance the flavor of ur buds u can add things like flora nectar it comes in different flavors and u add it to ur nutes in flowering I'm gunna try the blueberry dream on 1 plant and see if there's a difference.
 
Dude you got all kinds of great knowledge. The soil that I have is Roots Organics Formula 70
 
Lol thanks man I love learning and teaching :) I herd roots organic is really good. Dnt use hydrogen peroixe for any reason with roots organic because that soil relys on good bacteria to grow and hydrogen peroixe will kill al bacteria if u do get mold on the leaves 1/4cup to 500ml in a spray bottle on the leaves is fine but not in the soil. In non organic soil hydrogen per can be used for ( highering the oxygen content of the water and kill all bacteria including root rot ect) but in organic soil u dnt. Want this
 
Does topping just allow your lower branches to catch up quicker to the top? If you have 6 feet or more of space is really worth it won't the branches just catch up over time or will ur canopy always be uneven? Also if you have enough light coverage does it really matter?

It's very rare for the side branches to catch up if you don't cut off the top or at least bend it over and secure it down. Plants naturally tend to grow in a sort of Christmas tree shape like this:
​




















But sometimes the side branches do mostly catch up like this:

​




Having lots of light helps the lower branches develop, but the tendency to grow one main stem is mostly based on strain. Indica-leaning plants often grow more short and bushy, while plants with Sativa genetics tend to grow more tall and thin.

If you bend over the main stem and secure it there so it's lower than the side branches, that helps break the dominance of the main stem (so the plant naturally grows more flat). But bending is not nearly as effective as removing the tip of the main stem, which will break the dominance of any plant.

Is this what your talking about?

Is it necessary to run a muffler and a scrubber? How quiet would it be?
 
Just got home from work and found a grow tent, LED light, fan and scrubber came. I just need a few more thing so and my seed to arrive.
anyone deal with seedsman? They don't communicate very well.
 
Do u know some ways to germinate seeds? I find the best method for me is to put them in room temp water and push them down to the bottom and some will float after pushing them down, I leave them in water for 18hours and then use the paper towel method and 1 tsp water twice a day and in 2-3days the tap root sprouts iv had 100 percent success rate doing it this way
 
I've never heard of that. I've heard of the papertowel method. Hopefully I will have my stuff set up now that the kids are asleep. Figured I put up pictures
 
Looks like I'm late to the party here, but I can tell you that this is the right place. I'm also new to growing my own (on second grow now). Plethora of info on the main site that is super easy to follow as well as this forum that will have your head swimming with ideas from the awesome ideas people have about growing this amazing plant.
 
That's a gd idea :) if u soak the seeds in clean tap water for 18 hours it loosens up the shell for the sprout to break through and with the soaking method most people find 18hours is the perfect amount of time then once u take em out the water use a spoon and dnt let the oils on ur hands touch the seeds/ tap root then do the paper towel method. I find this method works the best for me
