wait tilll they look like good small plants and then put them under the mh. The floros are good for early veg if they are close enough.

i was thinking of letting the roots push through the seed bag then potting them into two 2gallon pots at that point give them the love of an mh lamp
i nearly lost one last night just before bed i checked on them and one had drooped her head down almost touching the soil i checked the moisture level and she was bone dry i had only flooded them 24hrs before so a quick dip in sterile water and this morning she was straight back up at the light

Now 13 days old, they are watered every 4th day, light is 18/6 i give them 5hrs a day under 400w mh and the rest of the day light is under the floresants so they wake up gently and go to bed gently im happy with growth level here they are to day :mrgreen:
I dont know if im hitting them a bit hard for their age with the mh temp is 78f with lamp on at plant level with lamp 12 inches from plant tops
but the smaller one curls 2 of its leaves up length ways you can see on pic2

welcome back welshwizz :)
I never used the chempak 2 just the 4 and if it wasn't for me wanting to go the whole organic way, I would still be using it now.

On my last account I claimed 2 girls but "red face" :oops: one is male still very happy with one girl :mrgreen:.
The funny thing is the girl is the larger of the two plants I thought the male was the dominant one, the girl has always looked healthy & strong the boy has always struggled with my amateur grow, mainly; over watering & then under watering I think Iv got it now???:lol:
Another thing I took one clone & that was from the girl before even knowing sex now that is JAM :!:

male pic: :cry: good bye :cry: :weed: :peace:

Here they are first pick is of the top most bud hairs starting to brown but not many, looking better now on full strength feed every 7 days & watered twice inbetween. second pick is the clone as you can see iv taken 4 cuttings which a friend wants to have 2 of them and put plant into 12/12
this plant has took off as for growth the first one never grew this fast cloning is far faster than going from seeds but it has grown differently the nodes are offset but if it gives nice bud i dont mind:weed:
