Great White Shark Lemon Skunk and Thai Haze x Skunk

[geronamo]

It was about a week ago that they sprouted, theres more details at the start of this thread. Yeah I plan to dig them deep into their new pots and leave only a little stem sticking out. As for the soil, not sure of the name or nutritional info. It was highly recommended to me by the store manager I bought all my lights etc off. He grows too.

Also, I was wondering about the lighting arrangements. If I just used 1 400 to start with. How far away would I put it? I was suggested 3 feet, but wouldnt that just make them continue stretching? Any advice on the distance I should have the light from the plant, and how quickly should I drop it lower (eg an inch a day?)

I dont know about the lights...sorry man i cant help you out.but i am gonna be paying attention to this log as i was wondering what the white shark would end up like.Hope that all works out well adn you have some real beauties on your hands. Im so excited for you!

Well they are looking a lot healthier. However there are a few seedlings that have real weird looking leaves, I am starting to think I really need to transplant them. Anyway, I have added a photo so u can see how their doing. As always Im open to any advice. Thanks guys.

P.S check out the two with the red circle around them... should I be concerned or are they just growing?

Looks like normal growth, nothing to worry u wont be needing those leafs in 1-2 weeks anyway.........

Looks good

Transplant soon, those roots need room to grow, root plugs are small

 

[crippledguy]

yeah theres really nothing to worry about those two in the red cirlce maybe just getting use to the light being closer. im so jealous your growing LEmon Skunk. i want some seeds so bad. ill trade you some purple kush x purple romulan seeds brotha. and yea transplant soon those rots need to grow for more leaf development! talk to you later

 

[crippledguy]

it's worth it man

 

[geronamo]

Hey huys, cheers for that. Yeah Im gonna transplant tomorrow. Im really excited! For now I will just put them under 1 400 w and see how they cope. I think I asked this a while back, but should I have them 3 feet away and work them closer? If so how quickly can I drop the lights, and what is the ideal distance the light should be away from the plants?

Sorry crippled guy I germed all my seeds. Just hit up dope-seeds.com. Thats where I got mine... awesome service.

 

[beta0701]

ideal distance is as close as you can get the light, this usually falls within the range of 12-18in.

Start them out with the light between 24-30in, if this seems like its too much right away and the leaves start browning and getting crispy, then back the light up to 36in. If they seem to take well to the 400 for the first week, then boot up your other lamp. After about another week of that, then start lowering the lights in about 2 weeks(presuming all your seedlings take well to 800w of light).

Thanks Beta, I really appreciate the advice. Make sure you keep stopping by, Im sure Ill need your help once I have transplanted lol.

Well today was a long day at the office, but I believe I have successfully transplanted all 18 of my seedlings into their new home.

I will be running them on an 18/6 schedule, under 2 x 400w HPS. I was advised to keep them well away from the seedlings, but I found that these lights really dont get that hot. Plus we installed these things (not sure the name of them, but see the pic) they apparently take a bit of the heat off so you can get the light in closer at the same time spreading the light more evenly. The guy at our shop swore by them, what do you think?

Anyway, I wasnt to sure on how much water to feed them, I used 4 litres to all 18 plants. Anyone got any guidelines here? Didnt wanna overwater them, so I figured if it wasnt enough I can water them again in the morning. I also used Canna Rhizotonic with the water, mixed at half intensity. The guidelines say to be used during seedling stage for healthy root development.

My temp was 18.5 degrees celcius, and humidity was 71 per cent. Is that all ok? Thanks for stopping by. Feel free to throw any advise my way, I had a few questions so it would be awesome if I could get some insight, but you guys have been great so far.

Peace

 

[crippledguy]

sounds pretty good man. nice set up. and yeah dont over feed them water just give them enough soil right now so the soil is moist then let it kinda dry than water again. can wait to see the process check out my seedlings on the indoor forum under time to take a grow indoors. purple kush x purple romulan orical .. peace

Got home from work and watered my babies. Gave them a mix of water and canna rhizotonic (4ml to a litre) at basically 500 ml of water per plant. Some are really thriving in there, the humidity is a bit high, so I guess I need a small dehumidifier?

However, there are some that arent looking so healthy, 2 Lemon Skunk are really doing it tough. I have given them the exact same as the rest so I really cant figure it out. The only thing I can think of is one of them I sort of bent quite badly when transplanting, I guess I super cropped it. Will it be ok? The other one I cant figure out. I will upload some pics tommorow.

 

[beta0701]

I need pictures to judge, but they could just be in shock from transplanting

You wont need to worry about humidity until you flower, during veg a 50-70%RH is fine, in flower, you want it to be as low as you can get it.

 

[geronamo]

Thanks Beta, Ill put some pics up when Im home from work. Yeah suppose they could be in shock its just strange that some are doing really well and some arent... Suppose thats nature though.

 

[geronamo]

Also my temp is sitting at around 22 degrees celcius now.

 

[crippledguy]

maybe you should be feeding them any nutes/fertz until they show signs. i mean atleast thats what i stick to cause there are already enoguh in the soil to last a month or two. lets see some pictures man!

Day 5 -

Temp - 21.3 degrees C
Humidity - 61 %
Water ph - 6.5
Lighting - 18/6

Well its been 5 days since we put the seedlings under the two 400w lamps. Some are doing really well, well most of them actually, but there is two that arent looking to good. I have added photos of the sick ones... Any advice? We have been watering every second day (.5 - 1L), or as often as they need it... I really cant figure out why these two are fucked and none of the others are... Any help would be great.
