Very nicely said.


Thanks Mk ha, you were right! I was really tired when I got home last night & I FORGOT TO BRING BAGS HOME! FML!

Anyways, pictures will come tonight for certain the babies are looking so good and no early signs of the seedlings sprouting yet. I need those bags damnit. =)

Damn that sucks bro. Yeah you'd probably do better if you had them. Let us know how they're doing tonight.

I will for sure. I don't know how I forgot them honestly. Nor do I even remember driving home. I was completely sober just so exhausted. Auto-pilot the whole way home hahaha.

Yeah man i know the feeling. Just so long as you stay awake!
I'll be back later bro.

OH! But I did cut a loaf of bread bag, clean it and used that. So hopefully some sprouts when I get home tonight.

Along with something magically happening to my Tarp-Up zipper to cause it to tear slightly. Nothing some duct tape didn't fix.

Whatever works! This might be hard to picture...but once the seed pops through the soil, carefully place bag...any bag, even a grocery bag will work, over the seedling. Then gently blow into the bag filling it with carbon dioxide. Twist the bag a few times, tuck the excess underneath the cup or whatever you are using. That will keep it air tight...although you will slowly lose air out of the bag. The seedlings love it and will shoot up so quickly. Breath into the bags once every 6 hours or so (whenever is convenient or when they have deflated), and in a day or two the seedlings will be strong enough to be on their own.

Sounds as bit ghetto I know, but sometimes simple is best.

Hell no man not ghetto, I'm all for it! Whatever works! I'll have the bags tonight but I'll use them and use your advice.

hmm that's a cool idea. Sounds like it would do 'em some good. I never thought of that myself but the thoery is sound. lol

Well I could do it to three out of five and them and let you know the results.

=)

yeah man do that. That'll be a cool experiment.

Starts when I get home @ midnight.

So here's what I'll do.

Three of them will have bags over and I will fill them periodically through the day as often as they need more of my C02.

Two will have just bags on them with no air to be given other than lifting the bag to re-mist.

All will continually be misted. I'll measure growth in CM. =)

Oh & this will only work if when I get home they haven't already poked their heads through the top soil. Either way I'll be happy.

sweet, I'll be up im sure.

Well I'll let you know.

Picture update tonight as well, maybe with a video.

My babies have gotten more nodes and it seems the Lemon Skunk has caught up to the Master Kush in height. I just want to be home now!

I know the feeling man. My plants are at my brothers place cause I'm pretty sure the landlord saw them so I only get to see them once a day when I go over there to check up on 'em. Which really sucks for me cause I'd like to be in and out of there all friggin night. lol

Hahaha, trust me I'd watch them grow start to finish if I could. Sleep next to em too haha.

Another hour and a half about then I'll be home to update.

I'm also going to transplant tonight since I didn't get to last night.

See ya soon if you're on bud if not check it out in the AM.

Alright finally got home and took care of some business. My WW1 has broken the surface but no signs of the other 4 seedlings yet.

Transplanting went really well until I went to transplant the Train Wreck. The soil collapsed when I went to move it and I quickly covered all the roots into the new soil. Should I be worried about this at all? They all receieved 1 1/2 cup water with no nutrients. I had been giving them 1/2 cup about every two to three days.

I also put up a temporary piece of panda paper to block the seedlings off from my MH.

Here is some pictures of my babies in their new home, let me know what you all think!

Also, I know I'm just being a debbie downer but my MK plant looks droopy after the transplant. I'll keep an eye of MK and TW closer to monitor how they do.

pH of soil of all 3 is 6.5

As long as the soil is moist (not soaking wet, but like a nice moist cake ), there is no need to do anything. If you must mist....to clear your conscience....lightly spray the inside of the bag. I learned the hard way, not to let water sit on the leaves of the young seedlings.





They dont need the water, cant really drink it properly through the immature leaves, and in a worst case scenario will stop "breathing" and die. But in all honesty, once you cover them, the humidity inside will be just right for them to respire.

When they are young eg until they get their first real set of fan leaves, the motto should be, "Less is best!"

Its hard to fight the urge to interact with them, like a new parent, but as long as the temp is warm (room temp is fine, if you are comfy, they arer comfy), the soil is moist, and the light isnt to harsh, they will do great all by themselves.

Unless your soil is drying out really fast, thats a bit too much water. I suspect thats why some of them are drooping. Too much water. Also, that much water is inviting mold. Let the top of the soil dry a bit before you water. And remember even if the soil at the top is dry due to the light and air flow, the soil underneath will still have moisture in it. You will know when they need water. They will be a "little sleepy". Usually after about 30-45 minutes of watering they will perk up.

I don't know which of your plants are which but the one in the second picture(Lemon Skunk I think the label says), looks awesome. Nice short distance between the nodes, fat leaves, no stretching. She is off to a really good start. I'm a little jealous!

You could probably start that one on 1/4 strength nutrients now. I recommend mixing up a 1 gallon container at 1/4 strength. Give 1 plant about a quarter cup full (no more) of the new nutrients mix at the next watering cycle. Keep the solution in a cupboard somewhere at room temp. If she responds well, then you can start giving the the same to the other plants when they are ready. After a week on that mix, go up to 1/2 strength, then in week 3 full strength. Obviously increase the amount from 1/4 cup of the mix as needed.

Because you have different strains, the nutrient requirements might be slightly different for each strain. Also if your plants really take off, you may find that you need to go to full strength before week 3. Just keep an eye on them and they will tell you what they need.

I suspect the first sign will be a slight yellowing of the leaves as they use up all the nitrogen. I'm not sure which Fox Farm nutrients you are using, but the liquid version come in parts or stages, and the first part is rich is nitrogen. Thats all they will need well into their 5th and 6th weeks.

I need not say anything. Fly with me beat me to it all!! lol Listen to him.
Good advice fly!
