First Grow Bangi Haze

[ShaneBud]

cant see the green things mate but plants look good, that seedling soil is for starting plants hasn't got much nutrients in it, you could get a nice mix or make your own and transplant shortly. but no great hurry. if they start losing colour or show deficiencies they need a small feed or transplanting

Awesome thank you I will definitely look out for that

Hello
wild guess here since I'm not an expert but I'd like to help: the green things sprouting out of the ground could be roots going upwards because the water didn't penetrate deep enough. How are you watering?

It's all good now I googled it, It can be a few reasons from over watering or it absorbing things and then it releases it giving it to the plant again, I kinda forgot lmao but I remember reading the post about it, so it's all good

Hey bud, you gotta get more light on them now. Do whatever youre doing now, but put a 23 watt cfl about 2 inches directly above each one.5400-6500k would probably be best for veg.
Or if you can move them outside they love intense sunlight. or constantly overcast conditions.

Thanks for joining . Yeah I was thinking about putting them outside but I live in Australia to bugs and all that everywhere. I will invest in more lights too. and I might move them outside soon

A 23w will get them to their fifth true set before any real slowdown is noticeable. CFL grows require ~200-250watts of 2700k an ounce so if you do plan to finish indoors a 254w t5 cf for veg (with replacement bulbs in 2700k for a flower boost?) and a 400w hps are the bare minimum for a few ounces.

If pests are the reason outside is not viable look into Neem Oil, Insect Frass, and other organic repellents. Consider aggressive chemical pest control on plants 3-5 ft away from the grow zone. Could even invest in a hoop house if you wanted a more manageable more permanent solution. You can wash off chemical stuff for the most part, but if an isotope is absorbed, it has to decay, and the half lives of these chemicals are longer than you're entire budding period. If its hemp mites vs sevin though, the chemical would be less detrimental.

IF you do go outside, watch for spidermites. I had them they are hard to get rid of. Keep an eye on the underside and if you see any I will help you get rid of

 

[Kush Knight]

If you do get em, 1/2 cup 99% or 91% rubbing alc, 1-2 drops dawn dish soap, 1-2 tsp lemon oil, 1/3 cup warm water and optional tablespoon hydrogen peroxide in a spray bottle. I also tend to add a tbsp of neem during veg.
Spider mites are nothing besides repetitive, Hemp mites omfg.

23 watts of 6400K for vegging? really?

yup. with 3000k 23w, a lot of tinfoil, a cpu fan and a spliced usb cord i got seeds to sprout 10 different times all making it halfway through the formation of their second set of the five finger leaves (4th to 5th node). Thats about the limit for 23w and the light needs of the plant grow exponentially not rationally.

You do realize i told him he needs that 23w right now because his seedling has a lot of stretch and is especially slow for an auto seedling atm. Honestly 2 23w cfl per plant would actually be proper until 12 days above ground if the lights germed it. for veg i recommended a basic 254w t5 not that everyone even has $100 to blow out their ass's whenever they damn well please.

I asked cause a 23 watt cfl won't put out that much; but now that I think about it I guess it'll do. I got my 3 node plant (or 4th? not sure how you count) under 90 watts of 6400K and I was a bit worried it might be an overkill

Now I'm kinda scared two of the plants bottom leaves are changing colour does that mean I gotta replant them and give them nutes? and also the one I planted in the cup is completely fucked the leaves are all like bound together and didnt burst out of the seed and shit. What should I do now -_-

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

It's hard to tell what's wrong with the first pic. The second one you can pry off the seed with something. do it gently. Last pic it looks like there could be leaf miners. Make a 1ml hydrogen peroxide to 1 liter of water solution and lightly mist it at "night time"

 

[LetsGetCritical]

don't worry about the very lower round leaves they are cotyledons and store the energy for the young seedling, they go yellow and die off, but I would transplant soon anyway but in a 'hotter mix'. the seedling one doesn't look right even with the bad pic but I don't think that's your fault, prise seed shell off like gfm says and let it be might turn out ok

 

[LetsGetCritical]

ive made my own soil mix but easiest idea is to get something like "vegetable with compost" potting mix , maybe mix some perlite through and then feed every 3 rd water with some soluble fert

 

[grapefruitmarmalade]

Updates?

 

[ShaneBud]

Sorry haven't had time to do anything the past week i just purchased some hydrogen peroxide and going to mix it 1ml into a 1litre bottle of water like you said and will mist it over it, it's starting to get kinda bad since the second set of leaves are turning yellow hope it fixes it

Hi. The hydrogen peroxide solution will help against the leaf miners (those white spots and stripes you see on your leaves). Yellowing and drying out of the leaf means anything from nute deficency to ph imballance to some kind of root problem.

So now would be the time to repot with a soil mix with nutes?

Definitely man it's gonna blow up

Edit: also look into LST. It's gonna help A LOT

Alright awesome, what kind of nutrient mix should I be looking for?

You said soiless, right? Go for nutes that go well with soiless mixes. For example for coco get coco nutes. And follow the instructions they give you. It's quite easy. For veg NPK should be something like 7-3-5. With higher N and P lower than or equal to K. And flower is higher P. You'll get the picture.

Damn why do I always come back to edit these things. Keep in mind that there is no diagnose for your yellow leaf thing so it could be that the soil is too hot. In that case it needs less nutes.
