Cheesey Poof is a week old today. Not a lot to say other than she's growing like a weed, pun intended. Moisture is drying up, heat has picked up a bit due to the drier moisture, and everything seems to be going good. Day 7

Nice to see another grow of doom.

Cheesey poof, she keeps on keepin' on. Moisture good, temps still in the 77-81 range, kicked the fan on her today to give her a small vibration to start making her stronger. Day 5

Oh, I use it as my main growing medium/soil, so I just use it for seed germination as well. I found out the hard way with my last grow that some seeds are a little sensitive so starting off in a seed starter mix may be better.

Not sure what you mean by flip her? I'm going to LST her down after her 5th node and just try to "bush" her out before she shoots straight up in flower. Thanks! Most basic method of all really. Party cup full of FFOF soaked with water, stick my index finger in the center to the first...

Not a lot to report. Moisture good, temps at 76-80 and baby Cheesey Poof is lookin' good. Day 3

Hmmm, I'll have to look into this myco fungi, and see if it's something I can just toss in there or if I have to work it into the soil as it may be too late for that. Yeah I don't have enough space for t5's haha, but thanks. Yep yep, all CFL's, thanks.

She's in a 2 gallon pot.

It's time for another ride since my last one did not go so well and currently sitting in limbo. This time things are changing up a bit. Same red rubbermaid tubs, but not an auto strain. This time its Reserva Privada (DNA Genetics) Confidential Cheese, already feminized and ready to go. And...

Yep, going to go back to using party cups and soil for the Short Stuff. I did get pollen from the last male! It's sitting in my freezer.

Thanks for the advice. But I didn't use FFOF for this last grow. I used Jiffy Pods, which for some reason caused me all sorts of problems. Moisture, too compact, eh, I need to do some more research to see what exactly went wrong other than me rushing. Needless to say, I'll be using just...

Final Update. The seed and seedling did not make it. I'm guessing the constant moisture of the pod and my lack of research into them ended up being the final nail in the coffin. I will resurrect this thread if I ever order more of these seeds, and I may after a few grows down the road. I'm...

I left the lid off, and I always have a fan going inside the box to push the heat off the CFL's. So, that's good to know that it wont take that long. Thanks for all the help.

Still pretty moist, enough that it was holding together well enough that none fell off. I'm guessing about 2-4 days to dry out.

I just went ahead and dug around the pod and was able to successfully remove the whole thing from the soil. After checking the bottom, there were no roots showing, so, it's obviously having some issues. Put the pod back in the mini-greenhouse the pods came in and put it back under the lights...

So then I need to pull the pod out of the soil and let it dry out completely and raise the lights. After the pod has dried, I want to keep it dry till i see roots I take it? Or after it's dry just go ahead and put the pod back in the soil?

Yes, I removed the netting from the bottom and 1/2 of the side. Since it was still moist I didn't want it falling apart completely so I left half the netting around the side. The last 3 grows I started with just straight FFOF with no issues. I was advised to use seed starter mix to have a...

So here's the rundown. Decided to use some seedling Jiffy Pod's, for a new batch of Purple Ryder's. From what I can tell these pods are made up of some kind of grounded up coco mix. They also seem to retain moisture very well. Usually my seed-popping rate in FFOF soil is 2.5-3 days. With...

I'm thinking that the pod is retaining so much moisture on the bottom of it that it may be causing some minor root-rot. It's dry and hot as shit here so I'm trying to keep it cool and hydrated. I may be inadvertently causing more damage due to the pod holding moisture.

Thanks for the support guys. So a bit of more bad news. Checked the popped seed to see if it had done anything since I checked it last and the little root had fallen off the bean. So I'm pretty sure that bean is now shot. But! it still had a little nub on it so I took it out of the pod all...
