Hi all,
Just a few questions re moving away from auto flower plants.
I've only tried autos so far, and I'm keen to try regular/feminised photo seeds from here. One option is having a plant as a 'mother', although I don't fully understand this yet. I've got some seeds coming from 7 East which are all regs.
Questions re reg seeds:
1) If you want to end up with 2 plants, do you use 4 seeds and hope or would you do 5-6 just in case?
2) How old are the plants when you can identify the sex? Do you just discard males unless you want to pollinate?
3) What's the best way to manage multiple seedlings like this - just small pots with seedling mix or something else?
4) It sounds like it's best to go with 18/6 initially, then switch to 12/12 for flower. I presume that means I can have an auto in there to finish while the newer plants are in veg?
Question re mother plant.
1) Is all I need to keep a mother plant just a separate tent and lower powered light? Do they need extraction, internal fans etc.?
2) What would be the smallest size tent you could keep a mother plant in?
3) Do you just continually trim the mother to keep her the size you want? I'm a little confused as to why the mothers don't just get 1-2metres tall haha.
Thanks
