Thought I would post an update of the seedlings. It's been 2 days since I transplanted them and you can tell that it was exactly what they needed! I think I will just throw the jiffy seed starter mix away...horrible drainage, lots of dry pockets when I removed the seedlings from the pots. Anyway, I labeled the age on the pics...you can see how the Blueberry and Skunk were stunted from the mix...the other seedling are a week younger yet almost as big as they are. Well, I learned so we'll take something positive from it lol. From now on I will be starting my seeds in rockwool cubes. Started Big Bud #2 that way and it's doing pretty well. The plants have grown noticeably bigger since the transplant. I think they'll be just fine regardless of the stress, just a little late start. The Happy Frog / Ocean Farm mixed with some xtra goodies seem to have done them right! Oh, and I'm high by the way.
. But I think I shall smoke another.
Hey there Lady J! Been following your threads, trying to catch up! Im planning on setting up my Second 1st grow (actual first never finished, long story, but click on my sig to reap the drama lol). Anyway, i stay in an apartment as well and plan on doing a small sterlite op myself, cfl, perp , thinking about 12/12 fs now that im reading through all this. i been out of the game for a while, and just started to lurk the RIU forums again thankfully. Ill let you know when i start up because i feel we have A LOT in common! Very similar opinions and thoughts! although, i personally didnt see the HID purchase coming! I wouldve thought ud go with led!
Now, on to some things i wanted to mention, it kinda seemed you were having some issues and flipping between mediums and techniques for germing/seedling. I personally use the jiffy peat pellets and effing love them! i germ in paper towel and stick em in the peats when they get their tail! super simple! then you just stick em in the little greenhouse that it comes with and perfect sprouts 99.9% of the time! i had 100% but i only germed about 6-10 i think. check out the grow in my sig to see what im talkin about. its on the first page so not much reading, the grow was a fail anyway!
thanks for the inspiration, and awesome posts filled with awesome info! now, ill finish catching up, im on pg38!
OUT!
