I have to know everything li,e I, can EVERYTHING who packaged the package to get to where the guy is to package to get to ,e, the drivers, thoer kids, lol. Once I, now it all, im already troubleshooting issues,call while I never played my hands on wtf ever it is. Im horrible li,e that. But I am self aware and can get ,y act together, sometimes.
Been a few years since I’ve been into growing but had anyone tried growing upside down in a 5 gallon bucket?

look at youtube… couple vids/reviews on these pots… most common comments…. literally a plastic functional version of a cloth pot. … drys soil too quickly….roots still bind behind plastic just not the holes….. pros/cons about the same as any other ‘contaner’… it’s all in how you use it. nothing stands alone ymmv 
Ever learning and am very interested in Planet of the Vapes “Volcano Hybrid.” A tabletop plug in (retired and hardly travel). Great to read it’s healthier and uses so much less!
Greetings to the Seedsman community!
My name is Byrd and I have been in the frontlines of the cannabis business for 20 years in Chicago without growing it.
I am a musician with a very successful band called Byrds of a Feather, and cannabis is more than just a way to get high, for me it is a spiritual commitment as much as my dreadlocks. I have helped cancer patients find relief and hope.
Since moving to the Bay Area of California, I have been consumed with establishing my band, and last year was the first time that I dipped my foot in growing. With that little bit of experience, I am hoping to have a much better result with Seedsman seeds. My first grow was rewarding, and I got good feedback from my friends, but I look forward to a greater dynamic with this community.
I will start my grow in May, and look forward to giving and relieving valuable information.
Thank you!

It worked for tomatoes but not for flower
Hello,
Falsehooded here been growing several years now. Indoors and out I have some new seedlings going some just sprouted others going for a week or so. They will be my outdoor grow this year going to be learning in a greenhouse this year. My plan is to veg in open air as I build everything around the plant. There will be 4 northern lights from royal queen purchased through seedsman. Once the frame is built I will net the whole building to prevent large pests then as they change to flower I will clear plastic the greenhouse to control moisture and humidity. What I want is to pass on what I can and I am always willing to learn in my opinion you never stop learning or at the very least should keep an open mind. Good luck with all the grows I have seen posted and I will be adding updated photos as I can
What interest me is no grow is the same even using the same plants set up there is always some slight variant that cannot be accounted for making each grow unique
Current level I would say some where between intermediate and experienced
What Im hoping to get is to pass on and gain knowledge
Here is 1 pic of the babies and 1 of the others that have been goin for a week or so. They grow quick in foxfarm happy frog mixed with ocean forest. Just use a small plug of straight happy frog to germinate and I never have issues. Once the seedlings roots need a feeding they have hit the mix and the growth is amazing

Welcome, lots of information on here. Nice pictures too
Hello I am Larry. I live in Central California and have a home where I can grow in my front yard.
I have been into cannabis for 48 years…I am 65 now. Over the last 20 years I have been growing and improving my results every year. I grow small batches now (2 to 4 plants).
I am happy with my grow skills now, but there are two areas that I need to improve on. One is germinating. I have purchased various strains from Seedsman and some germinate easily and others are more difficult. The second is bud rot. I grow in a greenhouse (in my front yard). Where I live there is a lot of fog -and the temperature doesn’t get to 90 degrees or above. Makes it hard to get the purple color. Late in the season is where I get the bud rot. I could use some help.

Make sure you observe your location were your plants get 10-12 hours of sunlight each day.make sure the soil doesn’t have a lot of clay,it’s hard for the roots to expand and can over water your plants.not a necessity but green houses can help with the rainy season to keep your water scudule dialed in and helps with plant growth in Early stages(high humidity)but it can cause bud rot in later stages if you’re not carful,I remove the plastic once they start flowering.if you start your plants indoors match the same light cycle as outdoors and before you transfer outside harden them off by taking them outside for a few hours each day to get them used to the outdoor environment.i hope this helps you.
