{Hello fellow members and viewers, I would like to start off with a big thank you to this website and forums and all the members willing to share there skills with others.thanks}
But to get started I recently had a small
closet grow with four seedlings two
moonshine and two blueberry/lemon hash
plant. They germinated and sprouted fine. it
was only until 2 weeks in I noticed they still
looked like they did at week 1. just the stem
grew thicker and slightly taller. Then the
bottom leaves started to brown and crisp.
They where only in a half cut solo cup so i
figured they needed a transplant. After
transplanting i saw the root system and at
the bottom of the cups where a thick coil of
roots. After the transplant there still has
been no growth. I researched and have came
to the conclusion they are rootbound. but
recently i found out the soil wasn't just
organic soil. It was organic miracle grow soil. (my friend brought it to me in its own bag)
So now i am wondering if the acidic soil
didn't let them grow. or where they rootbound?..what do you think..These are the other factors in the equation...
6 light CFL 23w 3" away from babies
20/4 light on temp was around 82 F Lights off temp was 70 F
Miracle grow Organic soil
no added nutrients
2 fan in and out exhaust
Watered with purified water from giant eagle and let it sit a day prior to watering
dirt kept at a medium wet
I don't have a ph meter im waiting for the snow to clear to buy one..
i would love to hear your opinions on my question.
Secondly
for my next grow I have four feminized Blue Himalaya Diesel (autoflower) and one L.A Women and one RockLock (not sure if they are feminized) But This time my setup will be mostly the same.
6 light CFL 23w 3" away from babies
20/4 light on temp around 82 F Lights off temp 70 F
Organic soil from hydro store
start in solo cup
(would it be better to just start in galon pots?)
maybe inch of perlite (not sure what kind any suggestions?) in the bottom of my cups and pots.
(one small fan set up to gently blow heat pockets away. one fan on ground level blowing in cool air. do you think that will do it?)
(I own 16 2 3 nutes think it would be a good idea to use after 2-3 weeks?)
(I also own a 150w HPS do you think i should save that for flowering or would that be better to use week 2-3 till the end?)
If you have any suggestions for tweaks or good ideas that im missing please fill me in. I'm aiming for a successful and informational grow, i appreciate all of your help. pictures on there way.
