Hello all, this is my first attempt at growing and i would appreciate any helpful input i can get. Basic Info: Seeds were givin to me by a friend of a friend that grows, (he claims they are some kind of G13x? mix. Idk about that im just happy to have some legit seeds) I built i veg box and it has 2 26w 6500K cfl's. (flower box is almost done) Planted in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. No nutes added yet. My babies are 5 days old. Thats pretty much it so far, lemme know if you guys have any ideas or tips for me. I will post updates every couple of days to monitor progress Thanks!
Day 12: some of the leaves got a little droopy, i gave them a nice watering (last one was monday) and they began to perk back up
Day 13: When woke up this morning the root of one of them had popped out of the soil curled up. I tried to push some soil under it to help stand it up more straight, and i also moved the plant a little farther away from the light in hopes that it will stretch towards it and fix on its own. Anything else I can do to help it out??
Alright guys.. here is a DAY 15 update, what do ya think? This is my first grow and imo i think they are looking pretty dang good, but im still a noob what do i know? Thats why i need yalls input.
but my other isnt doing quite as well. this is the one that i last posted a pic of because the root came out of the soil and my plant fell over. Anyway, i proped it up for a few days and now it can stand without any help but it is still crooked. is it worth keeping? or should i ditch it and stick with just one?
It sucks feeling like your having a convo with yourself huh? LOL As far as the crooked plant, take a toothpick and stand it up, newborn plants get all funky when they first start and I believe it's time those girls got thier pwn pots. At the least a 2 gallon is what you want, that way it can stay in there till harvest!
haha yeah good to know i'm not going insane talking to myself. I am planning on only keeping 1 (in hopes 1 is a girl) because its all i have room for. I was planning on veggin these about a week and a half longer then switching them into my big box to flower so i can see if either is female and keeping one. I know the solo cups are kinda small but my veg box is limited space. I can fit bigger pots in there but not big enough ones to be final. Is it worth transfering 2 more times for a bigger pot now? Thanks for responding ~ace
Thanks Dre and Makizushi for the tip i got right on it.. here are some pics of my transferred plant.. it is in a 1/2 gal milk jug for now
well i just went ahead and transferred them anyway. But yes, 2 more times as in now, and then again when i figure out which of the two is female that i am keeping. I cant fit them into their final pots because i just dont have the room in my current veg space. Will transferring them now, and then again in like 3-4 weeks be too much shock and stress on them?
Ok, just one more transplant and that will be all. My flower box will have 4X26w & 1X42w which is a total of 146 watts. (all 5 bulbs are 2700k) Think this will be good for a single plant?
such thing as too much?? also, what do you think about adding nutes?? when i got the soil the guy told me it had enough nutrients in there for the plan to live up to a month so i havent added anything yet. When and what should i add? (my soil is FFOF) Thanks -ac3
you can have plenty more light if u have the $$ but u want about 100w per plant plus 50w per additional plant... so ur 146w for 1 plant is above average. Add nutes when ur first leaves die off. I'm not so educated on which nutes but u could always go for some 10-10-10 basic fert.
not much progress since yesterday but i just like taking a posting picture because im so excited! 4 good sets of leaves with the 5th on the way! Day 16:
