(thats all i can think of)

This parts gonna be a bit weird cause i haven't been keeping track of the says too well

May 21?

Day 1:
I started random bag seeds in jiffy pellets with bottled water. I used a tech. i saw here. The pellets sat in water till they were 25g in weight and then i placed the seeds in. They were put in my drawer in complete darkness. misted after 12 hrs

Day 3:
The first plant pops out of the pellet. I keep in dark till the others come out but my box has yet to be assembled.

Day 4:
The first plant is pretty tall, about 2in and the other seeds start to sprout.

Day 6:
The plants are growing super quick, i dont have the box so i just cut a hole in my drawer and place the LED on top. Timer set to 18/6

Day 7:
I transplant the plants into little coco pots. The soil is Fox Farm Ocean Forest 1/2, Fox Farm Light Warrior 1/4, Perlite 1/4. Some of the plants are lopsided because of the light and the area they were in for the short time. 1 down.

Day 9:
The plants are growing quickly vertically and the leaves are getting pretty bushy, i can see about 3 that i know will prob die.

Day 10:
I built the box, pics up later. The plants are doing good, been watering them, have 2 that are supported up because they are growing weird, will show in pics.

Day 11:
I started 5 more seeds, the actually name seeds listed higher up. The one that i thought was gonna die just fell over. the rest are doing pretty good.

Pictures up soon

let me know if images aren't working please.

bump (edited)

to me it looks like there reaching towards the light maybe start by moving it closer and should maybe get some taller pots and bury the plants up to first set of round leaves or matbe a inch or 2 below them it will help them from falling over

Hey man everything looks good other than the lighting. Ive never used Led's but how close are they from the tops of the plants. Mabye you got them to high. Or try some cfl' they work great and the temps never get that high

yea the lights high up, im doing everything at night for stealth so the box itself is going slow. those adjusters i have dont really lower, any auggestions for something i can get at like home depot or something for adjustment? pulley system?

i have a cheap pulley. I use some shoestrings and those keyring holders you attach to your belt. and i just tie knots and use the clips to clip them to the top of my tent. I also use books or some things to set under the plants to get them closer to the lights lemme see if i have a pic to show. dunno if i have one of the strings or not.

heres some of the closest i have hope it helps

cant really see the shoestring thing your talking about, nice set up though.

yea i couldnt find any on my recently loaded pics and the camera is gone. i use the strings to tie the hood up. As i need the hood to go up i tie a knot in the string then reattach the clip under the new knot. If u can understand that, sorry not too good at explaining.

no i get what you mean, do you think they are stretched for 13 days? and should i put in bigger pots if strecthed deeper in like suggested above. just want opinions to make a final decision. also, know any nutes that help with building a strong root system at this stage?

i would wait about a week or so more to transplant, They are a bit stretched. I use Botanicare: calmag,liquid karma, and pureblend pro, and every time i go to transplant the roots are everywhere. So i guess i would say botanicare builds pretty big an strong root systems.

k cool thanks for all the help, off the the store!!!!!

no problem bro

day 13:

i transplanted plants into bigger pots, the ones that were lopsided i just tossed cause i knew they were stressed out enough as it is already, but the 5 seeds i started sprouted and are just a week behind. out of the original 12 i started i only have 3. i fixed the height issue of the light and made a pulley system for it. pics up later.

ANYONE WHO CAN HELP!!!!

ok i just bought some nutes, i have a small sample pack of botanicare:

liquid karma
pure blend pro for veg
and pure blend pro for flower

i also have some olivias cloning solution to help the roots get better since strecthing occured. can i start my newly sprouted seedlings with some of the cloning solution to help the roots? and can i now give some nutes to the already started plants?

ok so day 14 just started:
sorry for the shitty quality, one pic shows the plants in their bigger pots and i put the seeds on top so they start getting light now too. as you can see the lights are now lowered and i installed the exhaust.

hey bro. i started feeding around the second week in. Botanicare doesnt burn, but always start slowly then work your way up. but i feed everytime and havent ever had a lockout issue or overfeeding issue. the wonders of organics. check out my Journal if you will, i just started it there about 3 weeks in flowering, itll show how good the nutes are. Plus i have heard about using cloning solution on baby roots to help build up the root system but have never tried it.

have you heard good things about cloning solutiuon to baby roots? and sweet, so basically just mix it in with my water, ph balance it, and feed when ever they are dry? or do the nutes every other day or something.

also i put an exhaust last night and need a fan to circulate the air in the actual box.right? does it have to be oscilating? i mean its a small space.
