Californian orange grow started 15/5/07.
This is a rag tag closet grow im doing. This is a photoshoped photo to get a gist of the space, hence the strange blend marks!
Basically i cut a hole in the top of the closet, put a vent in and connected it to an outlet tile in my attic.
This will be my exhaust and i will sort out an inlet vent later. Any suggestions??
For now i can open the doors occasionally to vent a bit of heat and my computerfan i have rigged up to a power supply will help.
monday 14th, Planted seeds midnight in peat pods and placed tray on window ledge.
Thurs 17th , Shoots appeared so i placed in my growcloset under 220W 6400k envirolite @ 18/6 cycle.
Wed 23rd , I read tonight in the forum about when to transplant from the pellets.
The advice was "check the bottom of the pellet regularly for the first sign of root...".
Well I checked mine and there it was, all two inches of it, spiraling round the base. Not Good!. So that explains why they took a spurt in height,
to about 2/3 inches high.
So i did what any newbie would do.
I panicked.
And like a dribbling idiot, grabbed five random unoccupied plant pots, All different sizes of course, to transplant my lanky seedlings
into.
(This is my first grow from seed so i'm kinda winging it)
I will post details of my last grow laters!
Fri 25th, while scouring the forum, i seen a pic of some seedlings in disposable plastic drinking cups and took it onboard.
Much better to have all of them on a level playing field. Better for air circulation and the ability to have my growlite as close as possible
to the tops.
Plus i found a great tip for altering lanky seedlings. It advised to bury the them babies deeper down in the soil. Leave about an inch of
stem showing from the soil and mother nature shall reward you with new roots from the buried stem and a little bush!!!
Sun 27th, this morning i am seeing some worrying signs from three of the five.![Spew :spew: :spew:](/styles/smilies/spew.gif)
Any opinions on the cause would be welcomed.
I read that it might be the chlorine in the water im feeding them so i am airing all my water to evaporate the chlorine.
Up till now i've been feeding them room temp tap water so i think it might be a nutes defeciancy?!? HELP MY BABYS PLZ!!
I will keep it updated,
Flametop out!![Peace :peace: :peace:](/styles/smilies/peace.gif)
