I'm fairly new at this and have just one question

[domm11]

Alrite so i plan to germinate the seeds before i plant. When you germ them, a little white thing pops out. Is that a root or a stem? Like when i plant the germed seed should i plant that white thing down into the soil or have it up facing the light?

And when i plant them, should i water them rite there or wait for them to sprout then give them some water?

It's a root. Point it down. Don't touch it. You should water your soil PRIOR to planting the seedling.

also, you ever grow lowryders? if so, got any tips for me? thanks.

I'm using a 400watt hps light and plan to plant three easyryder feminized ak47 seeds. i plan to use a 20/4 cycle throughout the life of the plant as well. and im gunna have fans on them at all times.

I didn't sell you anything, actually I picked up something from you. Maybe a SGW inline a/c? Whatever it was, I still have it. And use it often. :)

I have zero experience with lowryders and if I understand it correctly, usually the term defines a strain that will autoflower, no matter the light schedule. Is that the case? If so, I was unaware that some fem AK-47 would be lowryders. I always thought a lowryder were strains for certain geographical locations where the light schedules are not conducive to most cannabis strains, such as above or below a certain latitude.

When growing indoors under a 400w HPS, I would typically give them a light schedule of either 24/0 or 18/6 for veg, then I would switch them to 12/12 to begin bloom. Since you're not growing tall stretchers, I would veg the plants until they took up about 40% of the lights footprint, then switch to 12/12.

ready set grow is a good one to watch, of course there are other videos on youtube. search "how to grow marijuana" and get most of the info you need.
