Okay, good luck with your grow! I'll be watching

Everything looks good so far. Good job. Do you have a small fan you could use? I found that purchasing a small 6 dollar fan from walmart helped to strengthen my plants. Airflow is always a good thing.

I have a small fan going in there with an exaust fan to the attic.

Got pics of #1 it is doing great planning on transplant fri. #2 just now showing first fan leaves no pics today tho.

Starting to regret using MG soil. In the pic u can notice what looks like nute burn. Time release nutes in soil is a bad idea thought I could save on the soil and nutes this soil was cheap. Next time I am going with a non nute soil.

I got a pic of my set up. I know it is messy.

#1 is looking great still lil samswishers plant is kicking my ars.lots of growth still just over 2" all growth is width. Anyone know if I should top or fim the plant and will it still grow tall?

u can see the nute burn on them damn mg soul.

#2 is still small I am using a light reflector to make sure it is getting enough light but it is 5 days out of seed and still tiny


Is it ok thay it starts slow cause I believe #1 did also.

Now on to my real question anyone who can awsner plz do. Can I flush the nutes out of the soil without hurting my plants? If so please inlighten me.

The upside down light reflector is an excellent idea.

Yeah seems sound but really just a test run watching it grow to see if it helps

I just think that although it will help light get to the plant it may hamper air circulation.

The fan blows right on it

dude lay off on the watering, seedling only need 15ml maximum first 1-3 weekd be careful over watering can stunt growth by 50% in worse cases.

thx man will keep an eye on it.

Made a co2 contraption. A milk gal. Bakeing soda. Vinager and a soda bottle.
I poked a small hole in lid and bottom of soda bottle so it drips every 4-6 sec.
put a hole for a straw in the milk gal container. Put baking soda in the empty milk container and fill the soda bottle with vinager1/4-1/2.
Put the lid on the soda bottle turn it upside down and push the lid of the soda bottle into the top of the milk contaner.
as it drips it creates CO2 I will aim the straw at my fan and the milk container holds itself and vinager bottle up and that's it.

I will be putting it in tomorrow I will let y'all know how it works and how long it last

awesome. you got any pics of this crazy contraption

Sure do

filled it 1/4 of the way with vinager lasted 14 hr. Plants loved it but they are so nute burned hopong they recover I am laying off the h2o for the rest of the weekend.that will be 5 days no drink unless the start wilting wana let the soul dry up a bit.

hahahahaaa I'm sure we all remember actually rolling our first joint, or maybe not.

for c02 you could also buy active yeast and make a yeast sugar solution in water with a tightly secured cap with about a 5 mm hole on a gallon jug nd a plastic bag with a few small holes poked in it tied to the cap
