Stretching at this point is from weak light generally.
Damn thanks I thought what I had was good enough. Today is really nice so I put them outside to see if they perk up. Off to the store! What light would you recommend ?
You are risking burning them
A good CFL placed close is perfect. Don’t sunburn it. When you transplant simply bury the stem up to the leaves. You’ll be fine.
He knows he has another thread going on the same plants
I'm going to get a good CFL in there at some point today. I have them on 18/6 so I dont think that's the problem. Might add foil to the walls but that should of been done before I even started.
It makes the stems stronger
Makes sense lol
Fans on from day 1
yeah i need to get a smaller fan, thats probly why my plants arent doing so good. Might have to start again. I also mixed the soil i bought with stuff that looked good from the forest which im thinking was a bad idea..
What kind of forest? If it's a coniferous forest with pines, firs, etc... the soil can tend to be rather acidic. That's why some people use pine mulch for plants like blueberries that like acidic soil. Here in the woods in Oregon the wild Rhododendrons thrive in the coniferous forests as they grow fine in an acidic soil. Other plants don't do so well. Cannabis is one of them. One way to tell would be to do a slurry test of the soil you collected so you'll know if the pH is acidic and you can adjust accordingly. Forest soil can be a good addition but you have to consider what changes it might make to the soil.
It has all different kinds of trees, but i made sure no pines or anything were around i do know about them being acidic. I grabbed mostly really old decomposed trees that were basically dirt. Its all basically layers of dead leaves until you get to some really dark soil. Also i used water from the creek out back that looks really clean to germinate the seeds and water them. I should of just used the soil i had and tap water along with a better light. Idk if these are going to make it unfortunately.. and i pllanted way too fkn many
They should make it. Creek water probably isn't bad just don't use it for hydro since it has all kinds of organisms in it. That's what stealth growers have been using for decades along with the Mexican cartel growers that were growing in the woods of California and Oregon before cannabis was legalized.
