whats up guys im in new england and for the past 2 days its been really cold and really rainy. my seeds have germed and have not sprouted yet and i was just wondering that if they would be ok outside seeing its pretty cold lows of around 45 and rainy also its suposed to be like this for the rest of the week.
hmm ya i live in NE too, this weather simply sucks...i could only say i dont think there is still a frost so i dont think thiers a chance of that but i thnkthey should be fine outdoors but if you could its best to start indoors..
i also live in the northeast, this weather absolutely blows. i brought my plants inside today, they are about 4 inches tall. i have no suitable lights inside to grow, but i usually sit them on my window sill when its nice out. also, i am amazed that the plants are growing as fast as they are, it took them like 3 days to germinate and within a week and a half they are 4 inches tall... and all i used was dirt from near the burn pile. no ferts or anything its robust soil. my only problem is the seeds are too shallow in the dirt and cant hold themselves up very well. should i add more soil to brace the stem so it can be strengthened by the wind? i am an absolute beginner but i tend to have luck with whatever i try
word dude i had my plants outside and they started to break the soil lind and the leaves were yellowish and looked pretty crappy so i brought them inside and stuck them under some cfl's on 24/0 and bam in a day they were green as shit and already had a nice little pair of leves commin out.
yeah i have no idea what CFL's are. all i know is that i jus signed up fo this forum tonight and i should have done it sooner. my only problems are that my plants need more soil cause the seeds are too shalow, they dont want to hold themselves up. other than that the leaves are out and already a quarter inch long and very green. i hope your plants do well this season
Ace7644, Looks like the weather is going to start to get better this next week. The crappy May weather is why I never put my plants out until the 1st of June. Hope your plants do well. I.B.Token
yeah i actually brought 3 of them in and put them under my cfls with the plant im growin inside, which kind of sucked because my closet grow was only ment for one plant so the 3 i brought from outside are longer than they should be now , but i just put them back out becuase it was actually sunny today, first time in like 2 weeks.
pot is quite an adaptable plant--one of the best actually. It can grow in many enviroments. And usually the most common cause of a failed grow is usually enviromental shock. ie. sudden changes in weather, and or taking from indoors to out doors e.t.c. Improper treatment of watering, soil e.t.c. e.t.c. e.t.c. Pot can grow in cold weather-as long as it gets some sun. Its not very temputure dependent--mostly sun dependent. It needs light--thats the #1 issue. Just like most other plants out there--needs 1.) sunlight and 2.) water. After all mary j is a plant--and its just as adaptable as any other plant. Its not like its extra sensitive or whatever. But yes--with care and treatment pot can grow almost anywhere. But it does need light. If its raining where you live, but still getting some sun then I suggest the window sill--or have it outside undercover or whatnot. If all hope is lost--grow it indoors.
