Looking nice and bushy. How long were they vegged for?

Took mine about 48 hours to break the soils surface, and about 4 days all together for about 3/4 inch of growth with its first set of leaves.

The tube fluorescents will be enough for seedlings and clones but for vegetating and flowering you will need better lights. Compact fluorescents are a cheaper option. Metal halides and high power sodium lights are ideal. It'll be hard to grow 5-10 plants in your grow area, especially with the...

I'm going with a 250w for my 2' x 3' after much weighing of pros/cons and input from RIA members. My particular 250w MH lamp is nothing special, emits 23000 lumens so thats roughly 5k lumens/sq foot.

3 and a half hours later... The recently 'unshelled' one is stretching its leaves out for the abundance of light around it for the first time only 3 hours or so after I manually shifted its constricting shell off.

Hoping mine turn out like that at 3 weeks. Currently germing 3 white widow seeds. Lookin gd man

My seedsman feminised white widow seeds just arrived, 3 germinating right now. Will post pics soon

I've also started my first grow a week ago. How old is yours? What soil and light?

Great, thx for the advice. Its a bit empty now but drop by my grow journal in the future if you can. I'll be needing a lot of advice/reassurance that I'm doing the right thing in the coming weeks :joint: So far 3 bagseed seedlings. 3 more white widow germing under 180W of mixed CFLs and a 250W...

Sorry double post.. PICS

Third seedling to sprout A third seedling has sprouted from its jiffy pellet after a few days of silence. Its looking a bit bent and growing sideways but this was also the case in my biggest seedling a few days ago, which is fine now. All three sprouts are under 180w of CFLs and with a 250w MH...

I removed the shell off the taller one, came off quite easily but the little film that looks like plastic was too hard to remove so I've left that on. Shell wouldn't easily come off the smaller one either so that's been left on too. How does it look?

No idea with the strain, both bagseed.. possibly from different batches lol. Okay so I'll leave them alone. Its just that a lot of the other grows seem to have seedlings about the same age/size but with some leaf growth already.

These pics should clarify. My two seedlings sprouted 5 and 6 days ago, both with shells still attached. The taller is an inch tall, the other is 2/3 inches tall. They've been on 24/0 under two 65w CFLs about an inch away, and are in jiffy pellets inside a box with the top covered in cling wrap...

Brown tips Seems to be getting better as they get bigger and stronger. Been holding back on re-wetting the jiffy pellets.. maybe they were brown because of overwatering. Seed shell still attached to both The smaller one is actually older, 6 days since planting in soil. The taller one is 5 days...

I got them through seedsman but not to the states.

I'm currently using CFLs on my seedlings as they can get real close to them without being too hot so they don't stretch. The CFLs are sufficient for the light needs of seedlings until they're a couple of weeks old. Then if you want something to be proud of then you want to stick them under some...

Been a while since last update.. been busy with the grow and other things Some failures? So the ones that I described above that sprouted in a weird way? Turns out they were planted the wrong way up (with the taproot up) and was exposed for a while (even had these things out in sunlight for a...

Could be that the seeds aren't viable due to a whole range of possible reasons, especially because they're bagseed. I found over 30 seeds in some medium weed and tried to start about 20 of them. Tried both methods (paper towel, cup of water) and even jiffy pots.. its been over a week now and...

I'm currently using a 250W MH lamp in a 400W Ablite Lobay to veg and I'm looking to switch to a 250W HPS soon. Will it work? I've opted for the lower wattage due to ventilation constraints in my small grow space.
