First grow.

[Nugs1]

Thanks for the knowledge guys. Im growing fem seeds cuz i dont have room or time to be fucking with males but still good to know.

Its good really to get a couple grows under your belt with fems its just something less to worry about

Rh is up from 25% to 48% just by using the towel in the bowl.

Damn, why am I paying for humidifiers . I forgot to mention if you use cfls you should probably get the 6500Ks for seedlings. And the 2500Ks or thereabouts if you every use for flower. Sorry forgot to mention.

That picture under the lamps caption should be "It's Showtime!"

And like you said your concerned about, I found this year keeping seedlings warm this time of year might be the most important thing of all.

This may sound silly but you have drain holes in the bottom of your cups right? The only reason I ask is because I've seen a number of new growers using home made pots and forget to put drain holes in them or if they did they only put pin holes in them and they ended up with poor seedlings because of the lack of drainage .. Just thought I would ask..

Its showtime lol yea it should be. I woke up this morning and she was looking pretty leggy. So im guessing the cfl's weren't strong enough. They're only 18w 2700k. So what you said makes sense lol. They were just some lamps i had laying around. My buddy has the same led as me and he told me all his seedlings have loved it as long as it was like 4 ft away. so i switched back. Probably gonna have to bury the stem a bit when i pot up.

Place the CFL. about a inch to two inches( depending on the heat of the bulb) above the seedlings . It will keep them compact

Yeah they were looking for blue light. Its cool man a lot of seedlings will stretch a bit, try to get some 6500k on them asap and you can get cfls etc pretty close.
the awesome thing about the cannabis plant is it will sprout roots from anywhere, when you transplant bury that thing almost all the way up to the cotyledon leaves it'll be just fine.

Thanks for the tip. Im probably gonna try and grab the t12 that nugs1 was talking about.

Makes perfect sense. I didnt even know what bulbs were in the lamps i just went for it lol. Yea i need to go grab that light you were talking about its super cheap.
And you can bury em that high? I knew i could do a few inches but thats awesome cuz im gonna need em short lol

Go for a t8.. A little more money but they're a lot brighter then the t12's most t12 fixtures will run the t8 bulbs... Just my two cents..

Ill definitely check it out. Thanks man. The t12 fixture i looked at is cheap as fuck so ill make sure it can run the t8 bulbs and try to go that route if i can. Trying to not spend too much more cuz I already dropped like close to a grand on my setup. but at the same time im really trying to not cheap out on anything.

The average "house" bulb is about 4000k kinda yellow/orange light.
Well think about clones, they sprout roots and they normally come from higher up on the plant. But anyway its like a water plant, like bamboo it can sprout roots from where ever it gets enough water. As a matter of fact, as your plants get a bigger you'll see small white dots close to the soil, those white dots are "root bumps", if they were buried it would create full on roots.

t8's are brighter but $$ wise the t12's will do just fine, but t8's is something for the next grow.

Good info. Much appreciated.

You literally take a cutting from a plant and put it in a glass of water. And it will sprout roots.

Yea i know how cloning works. I just didnt know it was safe to bury it back up all the way to the leaves.

No prob brother thats what this place is for, soak it all up if you want to continue growing.

If they stretch too far. You can cut first node branches off. And bury it clear past it. Like nugs said it will shoot roots from anywhere.
