Hey all need help new to growing :)

Hey all, i'm from Australia and just recently started getting interested in growing indoors.
I recently sprouted two seeds in a 8oz cup one in each.
One has been sprouted for 9 days and the other 5

Do these look healthy to you and also just wondering i know i stretched one a little but its been very slow growth daily i dunno why :S

hi there,

looks like you have a healthy seedling however i would get them out of those styrofoam cups asap. get a 1 gallon pot, or at least something plastic as you can kill your plants easily. your soil looks very wet too, i would aerate the top of it lightly with your fingers, wait until it is completely dry again before watering. keep any questions coming, cheers.

When you put them in 1 gallon pots make sure and mix in some perlite with the soil

Very excited about the seedlings its amazing and i shell take them out of the cups later tonight i just re watered this morning, I usually let the dirt turn very dry and right after that give it a nice watering usually once every morning it drys out.
Also got a small computer fan blowing towards both stems and there are holes for fresh air to come in.
Thanks for the comment mate

Will do Impman should i do a 50 50 mix? heard its ok perlite and soil

you ca do 50/50 for sure... don't water again for a few days. dont over water



when they get bigger feed with this every feeding. 3$ a bottle. keep your leafs green all through veg and flowering. if you can drink your tap water then your plants will like it too. PHing is a bunch of crap people around here swear by. just ignore it.


All of my leafs are green and healthy . potting soil, tap water, miracle grow, 600 w hps, air circulation and Another GIANT tip for new grower is THERMOPERIODISM. day/night temp fluctuation. day needs to be 78-80 and night 60-65.

Yeah, I've ignored it my ph is currently at 6.8 - 7.0 and i have a fish tank 5ft so i have ph up ph down and all the equipment for testing so thats a + side for me.
done i wont water for a few days and see how that works out.
Thanks for the information i will get that spray, how big should i give them a week or two? also they look very small to me do seedlings take longer then clones to actually grow ? or am i doing something wrong.
Nice plant mate

Sounds good 2 weeks. let them get4-5 nodes before transplant. what kinda light you got? sun or indoors?

Awesome im going to transplant into a 1gallon pot in a next day or two when the soil starts looking nice and dry. What do you mean should i transplant into 1 gallon when they get 4-5 nodes or do you mean transplant out of the 1 gallon when they have 4-5nodes ?
Also i have them in a sealed aquarium AR-380 but done some work to it added fans and all that. Its a T5 globe 24W indoor

thanks again.
