seedlings growing into females need tips!!

[smokinbuds21]

i am restarting everything i ended up getting hermis my first time and trashed all of them

the only reason why is two days ago i ran into some really good stuff and was a few seeds so i got atleast 10 out of an ounce there now jerminating and roots are shooting out every where i will be planting them tonight!

my question is whats the best conditions to get females?

my temp is always 80 and at night drops to 70

alot of air flow and fresh water and ph in the soil im using is 6.5

im gonna start with 10 plants and try to get the most females

i also wanted to know if i put them on 24/0 light or 18/6 they say that night helps to be females but you cant have any light leaks and they also say that stress lowers your chance so is 24/0 stress from seedling?

i just want to get mostly females well as much as possible any great tips or suggestions would greatly be appriciated:jointsmile:

not trying to be rude, but I would also advise you to scour these message boards....a lot of your questions have been answered in great detail....it takes a little time, but believe me you will learn a wealth of information....heck just click on stinkyattics name, click on find all posts by this user and see what he has written....there's load out here....

again, not trying to be rude...just trying to help

Absolutely not, overapplication of an oil, particularly to the underside of the leaf, can KILL your plants by clogging the stomata, leading to suffocation.

If you want to give out lousy advice, be my guest- I'll correct you- but don't be putting my name on that crap.

Neem oil as a miticide should be used on the leaf surface- CAREFULLY.

first off my apologies to you stinkyattic....my intentions were not to attach you to bad information ... which is why I said "I believe" not "for certain" when I used your name.

2nd there IS someone on here, who's name I can't remember(obviously) that does spray their plants several times a week w/neem and has had amazing success with their grows. my advice to the person that started this thread was based on the situation they are in. Yes I know, its not ideal to spray neem that mcuh, but I felt doing so would be the lesser of two evils when it came to his grow. The potential negative effects of too much neem vs. the potential negative effects of high temps and bugs. Either way he is running a risk and I just personally feel that going the proactive route w/using neem would be better than waiting for mites to appear in temps like that.

no worries though....you provide great advice and I read and follow much of what you write.....so for that I thank you. :thumbsup:

yea your right but people have diffrent suggestions and answers from past grows would save alot of time but i like asking questions about diiffrent things

my ph is at 6.5 thats probley good enough ya think?

i just added a little lime to all my dirt seedlings and clones just because all the good treats thats in it i want to make sure my plants are getting everything they possibly can

one more question these seeds me and my friend got we ran into some good good stuff but had seeds so probley a commercail grow anyways can we grow these plants into way better bud then where the seeds came from he doesnt think we can but also ever sence we put them on his property hes had kinda power trip u no dont blame him tough my best bud ever so...... what do you think?

have you ever herd of dynamite fertilizer?

other than miracle grow what are some good resources that are high in phos.. and what ever k was cant remmember u no what im sayin

thanx for the replys people this buds for you:stoned:

[smokinbuds21]

stinkyattic what is neem?

how does it work what does it do?

im just gonna my light on 18/6 bec.. theres already two seeds that sprouted and more to come!!

that lime i have should i mix it in every transplant?

and im also gonna mix that dynamite fert when i transplant i guess i should'nt mix to much in wouldnt want to burn my plants!

[smokinbuds21]

the dynamite are little beeds that you add when you transplant to the dirt its like an advanced time release its 13-13-13 but it says will not burn plants and im only gonna use a quarter of what they say when i start out anyways

i also already put lime in all my soil just a tiny pinch because the pots im using right now are very small just to start out seeds but will be transplanting when plants are about 2 half weeks old.

dynamite consist of :

13% nitrogen
13%phosphate
13%potash
1.20%magnesium
.02 baron
.05copper
0.20 iron
0.06 manganese
0.02 molybdenum

i guess you can you'se this all the way through both cycles i guess once you mix it with the soil it takes a while to finnaly wash out but from what ive read i thought this stuff was good for it

i can also you'se manassas for a carbohydrate right? i also like using it because of the strong smell it puts off!!!!
makes your plants smell stronger faster i beleave!

i wonder if i can put this dynamite into a gallon of water and let it disolve in to it i dont know probley wont work right?

i guess ill use this dynamite for vegging and for flowering im gonna buy some bone meal and half to find out whats a good source for potassium?

thanx for the replys keep em comin :stoned:
