Let him find out the hard way.......I learned my lesson lol. When it comes to nutes less is always better wait until u see at least three true leave sets. Start of at a quarter of strength of dose according to your cycle . Gradually work your way up to half strength then only up if u see a deficiency and feed according to a fix for the deficiency. Over wise you will cause plenty of lockouts and pH issues and your plant will not hit it's pinnacle and you will be stuck with shitty yield and shitty smoke regardless of your genetics it's the grower that makes the plant not the plant. If you have someone with experience trying to help u listen to them they been down the same road and made the same mistakes,if u listen to people who know the drill already you will save a lot of time money and plants.Why did you add nutes to a seedling?! You were specifically told above not to, so why the need to do it?
Seems more and more people on this site seem to THINK the more nutes you give a plant the better it will turn out...
Light plus roots is a big no no keep them covered and dark red beer cup would be way more appropriateWhen I germinate in little cups I only fill them half way at first... When the seedling starts to stretch out a bit I will finish filling the cup up. Seems to work so far. (I like the clear beer cups so I can see the roots to know when she needs to get a bigger home)
I would ditch the m.g. it can work in a pinch but is missing many micro nutrients . Jacks line of nutes is very cheap and gives you very nice. Buds.i like Jacks classic Jacks bloom and Jacks citrus. Thierry is a trick to the three if you would like to know more feel free to message me. I am not a spamer just a guy who likes good bud without dropping loads of cashThanks for the info. I'm a newbie grower I have a few seeds from bags and figure what do I have to lose? I have about ten seeds from all different bags/strains. I have one plant that is growing nice but I did notice it's leggy so thanx for the tip! I will be replanting tomorrow. They like acidic soil, right? I have been using a little miracle grow acid formula.. I use it for veggie gardening so I think it should be safe. Also, the other two seeds I planted are a lot smaller than the bigger one. I planted three seeds on the same day. Then I planted a few here and there. I planted the last one Sunday. I have six more but I'm gonna g I've them away. I live in Michigan. Do you think I will have enough time to grow before harvest? Also, I just realized that my tree was blocking the plant's Sun, so I just moved it. I'm just hoping for a decent yield. Any other advice would be so welcomed. Thanks.
I prefer buds on steroids vs orgainics lol just my thing I like potency vs tasteBiobizz blows the comp out the water with specially designed organics all the way through.View attachment 3481675 View attachment 3481676 end of wk 4 -12/12
You got any pics of this potency you speak of from the steroids?I prefer buds on steroids vs orgainics lol just my thing I like potency vs taste
They're stretching for more light, what are you using?Appreciate the OP.
First time grower, and I had 7 shoots over 4" tall with nothing but the first four leaves.
I had them started in fiber starter cups, so I just dropped them in quart-sized containers and added more potting soil.
We shall see...View attachment 3488977
every plant reaches towards light inorder to grow cannabis is a plant that really enjoys lighting, much like full sun plants.If a seedling is tall but its very strong why would this length be a problem, even if they got to 3-4 inch at this early stage?
Agreed....simplerer with same effectWhen I germinate in little cups I only fill them half way at first... When the seedling starts to stretch out a bit I will finish filling the cup up. Seems to work so far. (I like the clear beer cups so I can see the roots to know when she needs to get a bigger home)
Good thread. I've seen so many people try to start seedlings in a window in the middle of December and complain that they're falling over. Then I notice they're three and a half inches tall.This is just to show you how easy it is to bury those long stretchy stems ,
After you replant them make sure you lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch
I do not have a pic of one of those seedlings with the long ass stem reaching for a light that's 2ft high
But i got this one that i internally let slightly stretch a little , you can see the slight stretch at the bottom of the stem
You do not want your soil wet when you do this
its best for the soil to be dry so the extra soil will come off the roots easier
After you take your plant out , GENTLY break lose the soil from around the roots
After you got the excess soil off the roots , put some soil back in the bottom of your cup or pot
you dont want to put your plant right in with the roots hitting the bottom of your cup because you dont want the chance for the roots to grow out the drain holes
so put some soil in the bottom first then put your seedling back in
position your seedling at desired height for your stem to be buried at
i would bury all the way up to the Cotyledon leaves ,
after your have replanted and buried your stem you can then give it just A LITTLE bit of water
the part of the stem that you buried will eventually start to grow roots
your plant will pretty much not go into shock at all from this
just make sure your gentle when your braking the lose soil off the roots
Like i said this is not a bad stretchy plant but the same principle applies with those long ass stretchy stems
hope this helps you all that has the long stretchy seedling stem problem
remember to lower your lights so they wont continue to stretch
