Hello All at rollitup !
Hope y'all are doin' great ! I have just started my second attempt on growing and I would like to share my journey with you all. After I was beaten by spider mites and green worms on my last grow, cleanliness and pest control is of utmost importance now!
I am growing in an unused bathroom where the temperature is cool all throughout the year. I have a radiator in the room in case the temperatures drop down. I also have a medium sized extractor fan sucking up stale air. I have 2 passive intakes on the floor which were originally water drainage holes. I have a small fan blowing in the room to have some air circulation.
On October 4, I put my seeds (2 Lowlife Auto AK47-fem, 1 Haze Automatic-fem, 1 Roadrunner-fem, 2 Pink Heirloom Tomatoes and 2 Spanish Tomatoes) in between 2 wet paper towels and waited for them to germinate.
On October 5, half of them started to sprout and I thought I would plant them the next day.
But the next day, I had an emergency travel I had to make and I was out of the city. When I was back on October 7, some of the sprouts had reached the length of almost an inch and a half, though not too straight which was good.
I took great care planting them in jiffy pots 2 inch jiffy pots and none of them were harmed.
The only one that did not germinate was a Spanish tomato seed.
It has been 6 days since they were put in jiffy pots and there is one plant that is supposed to be a Spanish tomato that looks an awfully lot like cannabis !!
My guess is none of the 2 Spanish tomato seeds popped and I miraculously had a twin sprout from a seed!! At the time of planting the 2 sprouts -which I though were different plants- were very close to each other. So that's my theory of the twin sprouts
Anyway,
Here is my question:
What do you guys and gals think of my growing environment and when do you suggest I transplant the jiffy pots to my 2 gallon containers?
The plant that is reaching upwards had its seedcap stuck to it since yesterday until I gently tipped it off. And the one that still has its seedcap on seems to be doing OK, so I won't be touching it. The two pink heirloom tomatoes seem to be coming through as well. I put quarter dose of BioBizz Root Juice in their spray water and they are growing in BioBizz Light Mix (run-off ph 6.5). The next pot will have All Mix in it.
Any comments will be greatly appreciated. When shall I transplant these babies to their permanent homes? I don't want them to go rootbound. Do they look healthy to you? Are they a bit slow because of my late planting of the already germinated seeds?
6 Day old seedlings:
This is the one that had the seedcap stuck until I removed it. The cotyledon was stuck in between the seed shell.
And here is the mystery sprout:
This is the grow environment:
Thanks
