Hi Sexy MILF,
I have had many problems myself, but learned two things that will help you.

First, I start my plants in 12 oz. clear Dixie Cups. I heat a fork on the stove and poke holes in the bottom and around the bottem edge.
Second, I only plant in an inch of soil. Young plants stretch to the light. So I add an inch of soil every few days. This way the plants have roots in the bottom of the cups (which I can see because the cups are clear).

As the plants grow taller they will have at LEAST 4 inches of roots deep in the soil, before I transplant them.

When the roots are longer than the plant is tall, the plants will grow faster.

Maybe you would want to name future babies...Hot, Sexy, and Milf? LOL...Also try using deeper clear cups etc (like Mockingbird said) when you germinate cuz the tap root on cannibis usually goes like 5 inches deep or more. That may be why they're twisting a bit if your cups are only like 4 inches deep. Plus, put drainage holes in them if you don't have any in them yet cuz the soil may be to wet in the cups if they are strofoam, which holds in moisture for a long time. Maybe water them even less, like once or twice a week. Peace Sexy....:peace::peace::blsmoke::hump:

Is it possible for me to hijack my own thread? LOL
Click to expand...
Yes you can Sexy, LOL...I forgot too say also that you can also see how moist the soil is with clear cups as you watch the roots expand also. The way the weather is, humid one week, dry the next, especially if you're in the NE US like me, it's easier to see the soil cuz sometimes it'll stay wet for over a week when it's humid then dry within just 2 days when it gets dry and cool again soon.:eyesmoke:<Is this smokin' smiley cool for ya?:peace:Sexy....

Alright, thanks everyone for the comments and great advice! I've got family over this weekend so I won't be updating with pix until Monday...Feel free to continue leaving comments or advice, all is read and greatly appreciated..

Now.. responses to suggestions..

"well if terrorists can hijack our imaginations in southpark. i imagine anythings possible lol."
~Point well taken.. LOL.

"About the clear bigger cups and such"
~I hear conflicting stuff with the clear cups, some say yes because then you can see when to transplant, some say no because light is bad for roots... I can across a thread in my research where they had plastic cups then taped paper around it after suggesting that clear cups werent a good idea- maybe that's the way I'd like to go next time.. so I could remove the paper to check the roots real quick then put them back in the dark.. even better, check it with a green light only on.
~Also with the putting extra dirt in there as the plant stretches, don't we try to avoid plant stretching? And want them as compact as possible?

"good luck.
"
Thanx =) I'm going to need it.

"you said "hijack"."
Yeah yeah.. LOL.. I kno... it jus looks soo much cooler that way...

"everything jdiddy said"
~LOL. I realize the cups are a tad small now (a good excuse to transplant sooner? god I wanna get them out of that MG organic mulch lookin shyt and into some black gold organic.) Yes, they've got holes in the bottom of the cups.. And about the cups twisting because of lack of room for the roots to grow- interesting theory, I'm gonna look into the signs of root bound plants or plants with little room...
~As far as naming one Hot, Sexy, and MILF. LOL... awesome idea.. keepin it in mind for clones.. but then again, they name themselves... =)
~Getting a moisture meter for my babies, so we can lay to rest the whole over watering debate... I want to move beyond that problem..
~ AND FUCK YES! THE SMOKING SMILIES ARE OK TO USE RIGHT NOW... THIS SEXY MILF PICKED UP AND IS BLLLLLAAAZZZZZEEEEDDDDDD!


Couple situations and questions I'm curious about...if you know the answer please let me know..
~So my hydro shop changed their hours and I showed up a half hour after they closed (should have been a half hour b4 they close) so I'm fucked on the superthrive until Monday/Tuesday? (bf has been working all the time and I don't have a car, time to go shopping is limited) Anyone know an alternative or what in Superthrive is the active ingredients... I'll look into it..

~Also, if you're keeping up on this then you know about how Carlton got out of his cup and I saw the poor poor rooting situation.. but like I said, I'm not giving up while he's got any green in those leaves.. Was wondering if a light solution of the rooting hormone you'd use for cloning would help? Dipping his root in it even maybe? Or is there any other ideas on helping encourage root growth... I'm assuming the roots aren't completely dead if Carlton's true (stunted) leaves are green...(they aren't even yellowing)...

Things I noticed during a quick check up on my babies this morning..

Sexy Mama looks great. The second set of true leaves have three blades and I can see the great beginning of the 3rd set of leaves. =)

Kiki, also looking great. The second set of leaves look weird tho, like there's a three blade leaf on one side and a one bladed leaf opposite to it.. I can also see the beginnings of her 3rd real set of leaves.

Bee, looks great. The second set of leaves are coming in nicely and are one blade leaves.

Carlton, still sickly looking. First set of stunted real leaves are still green. I can see tiny tiny tiny starts to a second set of leaves!! Don't know what kind of development they will get... let's watch and see!

Hey Sexy,
Good point about the clear cup thingy. The times I used 'em, the roots grew pretty fast, but, one prob I did have when it was humid was algae growing on the inside surface of the cups cuz of the light going thru to the soil/medium. There are so many ways to do it anyway. Carlton will probably be OK after a while, especially if He/She isn't dead by now. Good luck Sexy...I forgot:roll:, you already have one baby named Sexy Mama, very similar to Sexy and Milf huh? How 'bout Voluptuous and Foxy? LOL, Bye Sexy....:eyesmoke:
