Today it's got a 2.5-4" stem. I did not expect this! It's leaning towards the sun, the roots are visible on the cup bottom. What do you recommend I do? Should I transplant it and put it outside? Should l leave it alone? The stem is growing so fast. The first serrated leaves popped out overnight too! Sorry, it's a big deal to me, all these plants doing well! I'm assuming my outdoor plants are doing well. I sprayed the dirt around them with foxfarm extra dilute all stage food. I think they are focusing on rooting. But this window plant....I've no idea of sex or strain, I was just seeing what I like as substrate and which germination produced healthy, viable females. I was going to buy lighting next week, but it is really tall and bending towards sun already. It is in a window where I keep happy house plants. Every seed needs a chance...I'm going to be living in a frikkin greenhouse! (No complaint)3 days? Nice!
For starters, next time don't use transparent cups. If the sunlight/artificial light hits the roots, it damages them.
Wow, thanks!!!
Since I haven't gotten my indoor setup ( I'm getting a small,maybe 3 plant max to begin, or do you recommend going bigger? I got 500$ set aside to spend on a setup next paycheck. I can do something decent with that. I'll snap a pic of the roots. Here's one of my outdoor plants in a 5 gal planter, day 10 outdoors from germinated seeds.pretty girl, huh?
So I can't see the root today, but it's grown. I put a little soil around the stem to straighten it. Pic to follow. Finger for sizing.
Yes it's stretching because it's not getting enough light.
Light insulated containers are always the better choice. I've however used clear cups years on end without any issues.
So should I transplant to final container and put her outside w my other 3?
No. It's too young to transplant. It should be even bigger than the ones you already have outside before it's ready for transplant. If anything put it outside in it's current container. Probably out of direct sun.
The best is to start small and transplant a couple of times throughout the grow. Think in terms of watering cycles, how you can speed up that cycle by having a volume of the medium that fits with the size of the root mass.
My crackled plant? Could you tell me where and shoot me a pic of your seedings at day 12, maybe. I'm sponging it, need all info I can process and I'm seriously good at learning. New hobby to study, here.
Comparing a window sill grow and one under lights isn't going to be a good comparison.
Yes, I know. I need a lot of advice on indoor equipment I want to purchase next week. Is there a beginner forum for that?
Newbie Central is the section for new growers. Their is also a section for lighting if you are looking for recommendations.
