first grow

  1. Hi i had a candy kush and dark devil seed started about a week ago planted in ocean forest soil after germinating in paper towel
    they sprouted pretty fast but unfortunately one day i woke up and they were drooping big time then died
    i dont know why this happend i think i might have overwatered but not shure if this happens because of that

    so for my 2nd attempt im going to try a dark devil auto and candy kush again
    they are germinated and ready to plant do i plant them sgraight in the 5 gal pots i have or in smaller?
    should i put them in a small pot inside a mini greenhouse with a plastic lid?

    Any help will be great dont want to make the same mistake again so any help with that would be great
    pics once everything is sprouting

    btw have a 3x3x4 tent 600w dimable ME light then switing to hps for flowering
     
  2. Plant them in the final pot you want them in. Not need to start them in something smaller. Make sure you soak your soul before u plan the seeds. Roots will not grow in dry soil. When you water your seeding just mist them with a spray bottle. They should be good man...good luck
     
  3. I just started a dark devil myself
     
  4. Let me know how the dark devil does...I may start one myself

    here she is at day 7
     
  7. Is that an auto-flower? My regular girls look like that at 32 days and it's starting to piss me off!!
     
  8.  
    Yeah its a dark devil auto
     
  9. Cool. Thanks.
     
  10.  
    Also why are your plants so small at day 32? They should be quite big. Maybe a lighting problem?
     
  11. Believe me I know. Everyone keeps telling me they're ok. I don't think so. Here they are today at 32 days. And even though they are not auto-flowering they should be much bigger by now. They all have new growth on top and sides. Stems are turning pinkish/purplish and nutes will be started tomorrow as I was waiting for starter leaves to dry up. Lights aren't great, but I have added more and will add more when my auto seedlings get just a little bigger (they are less than a week and 3 autos are sharing 1 light). So I don't know anymore man. I look at other pictures and I freak out and think what the hell am I doing wrong?? But then I have posters tell me they look fine.

    CFLs or HiD? how many CFLs and watts if so?
     
    Looks kind of light green, mine are usually dark green.
     
  13. There are 3 100 equiv. daylight bulbs. Each plant has one within 2". And there are 2 100 watt equiv. soft white which kind of encumber all 3. The seedlings have their own 100 watt daylight bulb for the next week or so and then they will each get a light and more soft whites will also be added. They are more of a light green. You can see  how dark the green is in the seedlings compared to the big girls. The feeder leaves just turned yellow like in the last couple days, so I am truly thinking it is time for nutes which I plan on starting tomorrow. I think that may help.
     
  14. What is the actual wattage
     
  15. At 33 Days your autos should be much bigger...If u have the regular cfl 100 watt they only push 23 watts...you'll need at least 100 for your first plant and 50 for each plant after that...I have a cfl grow box that pushes 745 watts of power for 3 plants
     
  16. At that point I'd just upgrade to a hid or led lol

  18. Lol I kno but I like to keep it crazy simple...so ill stick with my cfls. ..
     
  19. Use what ya got is normally the easiest way :p
     
  20. These are the girls now. All are showing pistils and white hairs. They've had lights added and nutes have gone to 100% strength. Fox Farm stuff should arrive this weekend.
