Hi Everyone! I decided to start a new thread because I abandoned my converted dresser for a closet and changed things up a bit. Growing 5 of Nirvana's Blue Mystic (First Attempt). 4 are in a closet with 276 actual watts of 5600K CFL's. They are exactly 3 weeks old today: I am experimenting...

Here they are 2 weeks old... (4 of them)...#5 has taken up residency outside will post a pic of her tomorrow

Here are the oldest 3 ( 10 days old now): This one is 9 days: The last is 8 days...and the camera died before I could get a pic Say I decided that I didn't have enough room in my closet for all 5 of them...would it hurt to put the last one outside? More than anything I'm concerned...

Ideas anyone? Please?!? :sad:

As I was checking everything out this afternoon, I realized that the plant with the yellowing is having more problems...and so is a second one. :-( The one that originally was having problems now has a couple spots on the tips of the next set of leaves (you can kinda see it in the pic) but here...

Mine seem happy with the temp. at 81*F...no complaints yet :)

You are right lol I just checked the log book and it is in fact 5 days and the other is 3. Good Catch! Thanks! I wish I would have taken a pic of the root development when I transplanted those 3 this afternoon. I was completely amazed at how much of a root system they had developed so fast. I...

New pics... The largest 3 are 6 days old... The other 2 - one is 4 days the other is 3... The one with the twisted leaves is having a hell of a time...my cat decided to taste the greens and took a chunk out of one of the leaves! BAD KITTY! Any comments/thoughts are welcomed!

pH has been at 6.8 but I was told that I should bring it down because I am in a soil less mix...

I had to go past the hydro store so I stopped in and picked up a bag of regular perlite but found out the hard way with the dust! Should have checked the thread first! Thanks for the reply! ;-) I will keep the MG perlite on standby...

I was getting ready to re-pot the plants and figured that since I have a lot of peat moss I would just grab a bag of perlite to mix in. I got the only kind of perlite that HD had...which is MG. Is this going to cause me a problem: NPK is 0.04-0.01-0.06 Seems like low amounts but from what...

Water pH is 6.8. I have read on here that using the pot weight is a good way to measure for watering and have been doing that. They are in small pots (5") right now so I tend to have to water them every day and a half when they feel really light.

Just noticed this when checking the girls... Only happening on one plant...so far, and appears to only be on the first set of true leaves. This one is 6 days old (Blue Mystic): Using CFL's about 2" from plants on 24/- schedule...only have them under 150 actual watts right now. Medium is a...

Just noticed this when checking the girls this morning... only on the first set of leaves...yellowish brown spots in the center of the leaf using a peat, perlite and vermiculite mix...no nutes...only watering when the medium is dry down about an inch. Have the lights about 2" above...

Thanks for the replies! I have noticed that they have pretty much stopped the whole stretching process. I have also abandoned the cabinet...kept having temp. problems. So I now have them in the closet without the cabinet and the temps have stabilized. Running 82-84* day / 76-78* night...

Quick question... I know that mounding dirt up around the base of the stem helps strengthen it in certain veggies...can I do this with the girls? Or should I just wait for them to be ready for transplanting and bury them a little bit deeper? Will that have the same effect? :?:

Latest pics: 6 days from paper towel.. They have been replanted once because they looked stretchy. Do they look like they are stretching again?

I moved the light out of the way to take the pic but I am keeping them about 2" from the plants. I have (6) 23 watt 5000k cfl's in there currently. Going to add 6 more this weekend.

Maybe I'm freaking out a lil bit about the whole situation, but since my last posted pic it has been 18 hours or there abouts... I already replanted about an inch and a half of stem because they looked stretchy...now they are like this. Almost as tall as before.... Is this normal growth...

Yesterday I transplanted 3 jiffy pots into larger containers. As I was doing this, I noticed that the stems were pretty long and they looked like they were starting to stretch... so I buried them up to the leaves. 12 hours later, they are like this: :shock: I'm not sure if this is normal...
