Day 2! time for some soil!

I basicaly followed this guide word for word:
http://forum.grasscity.com/absolute-...ion-420-a.html

Here is what i'm using to get these babys started, gonna flower them early to try and find my new "mom"

Following the guide! fill with water and let drain! (I let em sit for 10 min in the sink)

And here's the transfer, I tryed to get the root down, didn't always turn out perfect, but i bet these baby's will be ok

FYI this was all done at roughly 68-71 degrees F, which is ambiant temp for me. the redline in A shows how deep i went on a typical ball point pen (about 1/2 inch) and ofcourse B shows the seed sitting in the hole,, not quite root down *shrug*

Thats a big no no man. You shouldnt have started growing expensive seeds from a seedbank if you havent done any research yet. Miracle grow potting soil is one of the biggest cardinal sins, any pre nuted soil for that matter. You have a few days before they pop up so get your room set up ASAP. You need to read through every sticky in every growing forum as fast as you can, and when your done, read them again.

On a more positive note though...nice camera work!

actualy, i'm only using it to get these babys sprouted while i wait on my hydro stuff to show up. once they get ready to transfer to my 8" pots they will go into zero nute dirt..

Trust me i've been reading for weeks now, i'm not going to burn these babys by doing any crazy light cycles while they are germinating, just trying to get those first real leaves to show so i can transfer.

(the germination happend a little quicker than i thought it would. i thought i had this weekend to setup, so i'm kinda working with what i have on hand.. going shopping tomrrow and setting up the clone room!)

edit: and i've got 15 more seeds incase i Fuck this round up.. heh

Dude nutes are so bad at this point. You better hope you don't too much nute burn...

What the hell does light cycles have to do with burning plants????

Your growing in miricle grow, thats the point, if they dont die they will be stunted. right now the only thing you have going for you is that at some point in their misserable existance in that soil they will come out. HOpefully its very very very soon.

Hmm, for some reason i thought it would be ok for sprouting,, welp, they should be fine if they are only in it for 12 hours or so, i'll pick some clean soil tomrrow (morning!) along with my building supplies

I'm just looking for a cloner, so stunted is good!?

thanks for the advice, i'll get those guys out asap!

DierWolf · #13 (**permalink**) 01-13-2007, 07:56 AM

yeah, its really barky. its organic soil. no addatives. I didnt bury the seeds very deep due to the chunky soil.

I dont understand why this stuff is so hard to grow, these are freaking weeds! (literaly, I've seen them growing in ditches and shit in nebraska, in beleze i see them growing everywhere, and they have crappy sandy soil)

I added a splash of water to the top this morning, they felt a little dry (the humidity of my house is pretty low)
