Getting on ok with the hempys,the 2 LSD's couldn't be more different though, one is perfect, lovely green colour and doing well, the other has a cal/mag def I think and although I gave her some already she seemed to get worse after it so I flushed and gave some flora micro instead, I'll wait to see how it is when the pot is dry again.
Anyone know why my auto seedlings have suddenly keeled over, they are in rapid rooters and were hardened off, anyway I put them in soil this evening so hopefully they pick up.

hiw do you mean keeled over? you had a look at the base and see if a snail or something got them? or they just weak stemmed?
They were grand when I looked this morning and then a couple of hours ago they were lying down , the stems seem strong enough to hold up the cotys and two small leaves, I've been hardening them for a few days and there's good airflow in the tent but I'm wondering now if it's damping off, it's only those two out of six.The stems are about two inches long so I just put them in soil and buried them.

firstly you need a new camera...hahahahaha... and if thats re-buried then your not putting them deep enough, you want soil to top so theres only the first set and maybe coyt`s showing... and airflow thats too strong will make them lay down like that aswell...

wow its quiet in here tonight...
just gave the brother his marching orders, haven`t seen him in weeks and all the time i`ve been minding his plants, under my lights and feed and he has the gumtion to say i`m robbing him... its cause i removed the lower limbs when he first gave them too me he now thinks i`ve been sneaking weed off his tiny girls....
lesson learned ..

That's the camera on the phone and there's so many settings I just haven't a clue what's what.
I was trying to bury all the way but it's hard to do when the stem is floppy, I put them into the propagator again and have the vents closed so will see if they lift any bit overnight.
They were on the ground all along away from the light and the fan was blowing well over their heads

that can be the problem fred, there too far away from the light and are stretching up for it.... once there stretched that far it won`t take alot for them to flop over, mine are about a foot tall, but when moveing them there so stretched that walking along with the pot was enough for them to flop over to one side, they were standing fine this morning with only a little way to go to be totally upright..
give them a few days with a slight brezze on them to build strenght in the stem and your laughing...
I needed to get soil and with the car out of action I haven't been going to town as often, I've been borrowing the sis in lawas car but it costs me 10-15 quid everytime I use it for a round trip of less than 20 miles.
They are on the prop and when the lights come I'll reorganise the space under the light to make a bit of room

hahahaha sounds like my family, anytime you borrow a car it always seems to need petrol, that and i like to leave them back with plenty of juice in the tank, as you can borrow it again when you do...
if your stuck for soil, use a little earth, its not ideal, but can get you out of a hole, be carful re-potting afterwards tho as it hold to the roots alot more than compost and will rip a seedlings rootball off sharpish if handled roughly...

There's never petrol in her car and as you know a tenner isn't going to move the needle too far so I usually just leave money in the car for her.
I did have some bat mix soil left but didn't want to use it because I thought last time it was too hot for seedlings but I mixed a load of perlite through it so it's about 50-50 now.

anyone else still following deadliest catch? my dad and the lot here have all but given up on it... still a big fan me ..

the perlite is more for drainage than anything tho, might still be too hot for them, but you can mix that with some earth to help cool it, maybe two parts bat mix to one part earth??? just to get you out like, and once you handle them with care they`ll be fine upon re-potting, rather that than burning them up..
I used it so I would less soil and even looking at what's left of the mix it's probably 60% perlite.
Pays to shop around, I was going to the one garden centre all the time and the 10L bags of perlite were 7.99 so last week I went to a different one and got 35L bags of perlite there for 7 quid.

that was handy, ever wonder if the lady behind the counter at these places know what your buying it for... i mean theres only so much compost a fella can need hahahahaha....
First time I went in to a garden centre for perlite and rooting hormone I had it wrote down on paper pretending I was getting it for someone else, didn't want anyone making small talk and asking me what I was growing, I think if someone was going in every few weeks they would have an idea but ganja growers money is the same as a tomato growers so they probably wouldn't care.

It might have something to do with humidty or the lack of, something similar happened to me when I transferred some seedlings from my propagator... A sudden drop in humidty will make them wilt...
think it might be a bit spicy for them as the perlite will just add air.... Hope I'm wrong though....
