Dear friends,
Hello all, it's good to be back. Some of you may remember me from my first grow a couple of months ago that was unfortunately affected by the appearance of a hermie. I had started with10 Shiva Shanti seeds from Amsterdam; all germinated and after a month of vegetative conditions, all grew to six feet! (This was too long, I learned later.) After sexing, I was down to four. Or so I thought. One of them went Hermie, and pollinated the rest. I ended up with about four ounces of okay weed, and about 10,000 seeds.
This time, I am going the sea of green route. I started by germinating a couple of hundred seeds, then planted the best 72 in a Jiffy 7 Greenhouse. After fifteen days, I transplanted 30 of them into 6" square pots. I came up with an idea that others may like: I bought a couple of plastic under-bed storage units. They are each about 32" x 20" so 15 pots fit in each one, for a total of 30 in my 6' x 2' closet with a 400W MH bulb (I switch to HIS for flowering). The plastic storage units act like giant saucers. After the initial watering, there was a pretty good puddle in each , and I planned on removing water by drilling a hole in the bottom of each and plugging it. But the puddles evaporated by the second day. I am not sure at this point whether I need the drain holes. You can see the set-up in the pictures I posted .
It's now day three of vegetation, and for some reason, some of the plants are yellowing. About half were transplanted into Miracle-Gro potting soil and the other half in a similar product from Scott's. The Scott's is, out of the bag, darker and moister than the Miracle-Gro. There is not an exact correlation, but it seems a majority of the seedlings in the Scott's are yellowing more than the seedlings in the Miracle Gro. (See pictures).
Anybody have any ideas why this is happening, and what I can do about it?
