I hate seedlings

this is mostly important stage to grow the roots as soon as you can do. use some mycorrhizae and i like to use superthrive. sparingly errm.

 

Haven't lost my touch with seedlings especially old seeds, the death touch. Out of 20 +/- seeds (non fem'd photo's) I have 2 plants well established (3 sets of leaves) in 1 gal pots today. Another 12 rando seeds soaking. I hope I get some females.

 

I don't know but your post has made me decide to call my grandkids (once I get some) seedlings.

So, now you've just said you hate my imaginary future grandkids...

 

explain why ?
seedlings are easier than flowers , seedlings and veg are the easiest stage , when you flip the girls all heck can break loose form you , while vegging you can fix, flower not so much
with seedlings most time simple foilar spraying can improve your game
is your plants damping off why you hate it so much?

 

water them with a squirt bottle, stay back from stem a coupe inchs and make the roots wonder out to the moisture, next run you do, start off by weighting a fresh filled pot of your soil, write it down, then drench that soil and weight it, find the weight at 40 % moisture and then feed or water simple enough, take the easy road and just weigh them

 

from seed i think your right on cue mate, look if you want to watch them grow , the answer is this, start the seed in a small sample container like you would get at a long jhon silvers with tarter sauce in it, when the seed root hit the bottom it has no other choice but to go up, as soon as the roots hit bottom step it up , like i said you can literally watch a plant grow just by up potting in small pots to a finish pot, every time that root hits the bottom the plant goes up as it does that it also branchs the root system out, myself i run mine just like you are there, i go solo cup and about were you are the roots should be at bottom, up pot to a 1 gal or even smaller pot than a 1 gal if you want to see them grow , let it hit bottom and give a week for it to start growing up and up pot again.
as soon as my solo cup is up potted to a 1 gal i let it go till it gets about a ft tall and then up pot to a 3 gal pot, from there when it get around 16 in tall , i then flip um to flower , first 2 weeks with MH light blue , feed same veg nutes and it slows the stretch, you can even slow it even more running your light up and down, after stretch that 16 in plant is now 3 ft tall and im running by ppm measures and just sit back

 

they aint gonna feed as frenzy at that young mate , let them dry a bit, 60- 40 is what your looking for 40 % moisture at all times, thats done by weight
