Already using nutes on the seedlings? You may have a nute burn problem on your hands quickly if that is the case. Usually want them to get some roots and leaves before the nutes. I think third node is what a lot of people wait for and then use 1/4-1/2 strength nutes. Glad you had all of them pop though! Hope you get some wild Geno's to select a mother fromUpdate
Yesterday, while preparing the flower chamber to act as a vegger, I decided to toss the last peat pellet and ungerminated seed and wash the domed nursery and put it away for future use. As I picked up the peat pellet, I noticed it was kind of loose inside. I decided to take a look at the dead seed and see if it had cracked and dried out or what, just for educational purposes. I held it under a lamp and kinda split the peat open with my fingers. Lo and behold, the seed had split and it's tap root was out about 1/4". I soaked the peat and gently compacted it back towards the center and placed it back in the dome, just to see what would happen.
This morning after the lights came on, I decided to check on the ladies since the previous day was their first drink of Grow Big and Big Bloom combined. They looked fine. Looking in on the recently revived runt seed, I saw the seed leaf and stem getting ready to pop out of the soil and start it's slow arduous journey skyward. After 9 days, we now have 100% Germination for this strain of bubblegum from Nirvana. Once potted, this one will get a tag so we can follow along and see what she can do. She is nearly a week behind her siblings.
5 for 5! Let's hope all 5 move on to the 24 LED veg stage.
Not with peat pellets. They have absolutely no food for the plant to use. I am abiding by the Fox Farms feeding chart that came with my nutes. Plants are looking beautiful. They have only been fed once so far, and that was big bloom which helps establish strong roots. Now if I had germinated in an amended soil that was loaded with nutrients, then no, I would not be feeding on a regular basis.Already using nutes on the seedlings?

Great, sounds like you are on top of it. Did you ever get specs on the LED angle of the fixtures you got? I am thinking about buying onter light, but wanted to see the angle in print before ordering
You are probably going to have to custom order a light to get 60 downs. The light-print is so much smaller, although more intense. I'm not trying to chase down the specs on these lights anymore. I own them, it's what is what. I did find out that by wide spectrum, they are referring to wavelengths, not degrees of angle.
thanks for the rep just figured that out now and yea... i dont know what a scrog is+REP for you too!
As for auto-flower, who said anything about auto-flower? If I did, I was referring to something else, not my girls. I've not tried auto-flower yet. I assume it is from seeds induced late in the flowering cycle? I know they show their sex within 2 weeks of veg. Thats all I kow about em. I like feminized seeds. I'm in no rush
A scrog grow is where you alter the plant's vertical grow into a horizontal one for one level and smooth canopy. You do so by suspending a net over some plants. As the plant grows through the net, you bend over the growth and pull it through an unused square or space in the net. You keep this up until hopefully the net is full and every growth end will form a cola. It is not unheard of to get a single plant to produce up to a lb of bud using this method.thanks for the rep just figured that out now and yea... i dont know what a scrog is
Thanks, but I work with plants all the time and transplant. There is no sense in putting a seedling in my one gallon pots because of the amount of water it would take to make sure the roots are reaching it. A careful transplant into the exact same medium mix will reduce any shock to the plant. A smaller pot will allow the tap root to stop at 4" and allow the roots to form a healthy system, I don't have more soil than I need retaining water or leeching nitrogen, and I can have more seedlings or cuttings in the nursery until I can move them to veg.
