[CFL/SOIL/12/12 ]BBbubblegum's First Grow [CFL/SOIL/12/12]

[BBbubblegum]

Hey Bubbel, maybe you can look for threads of people that used MG and got good results and see what strain they were using that might help.

I've been looking, but it can be a number of things. Nute burn from too many little wateringsis probably the cause. The other one is lack of ventilation cause a high amount of oxygen in the grow box, suffocating the chloroplasts in the plants.

One of the plants is starting it's second set of leave, the others look OK.

Will be waiting for some pic's

 

[BBbubblegum]

The one in the back looks the best, the others aren't terrible. Been a few days and the seedlings hasn't come up, weird.

 

[BBbubblegum]

Those are the better two. The second set of leaves are coming out. The other one isn't looking to good. And that seed has yet too come up, I think I'll dig for it.

 

[BBbubblegum]

It has been 3 weeks from today, can someone please tell me what the problem is.

Scrap the mg soil, scrape up some change and go to the dollar store and get an 8 pound bag reg potting soil for 3 bucks, mg sucks, plis if u continue to use it and not get ur plants flushed good before u harvest mg soil will give u a splitting headache, second off leave them alone. Quit diggin in the dirt for the seeds, and quit replantin them if u dont kno what your doing ur prob shocking and stressing them out. And u need to get on a watering schedule. U were way over watering them in the beginning. If the soil feels damp, down inside second knuckle deep, unless its dry dry dont water it. And I imagine all the transplanting, poking, watering, digging, and mg soil, ur lucky they r still alive, your biggest mistake is not havimg patients, cuz without them u will nvr have good crop.... Jus my opinion, good luck

For there size, what is good amount every x days. 100mL every 2 days? And should I get organic soil?

 

[BBbubblegum]

So I found a bag of REAL miracle grow potting soil in the garage unopened. Was thinking about transplanting out of this shitty soil. Should i do it?

 

[BBbubblegum]

Got another bagseed today, looks very viable and it is pretty big. Germing it right now. Might be done by tomorrow, although my average is around 36 hours.

Did you get some Jiffy Seed Starting Mix instead of that MG stuff ?

duuude, i thought you had everything under control? what this i hear about you transplanting these little guys multiple times?!

This is three weeks? I think you need some more light then. As for watering, at this young they hardly need a splash every few days, just a bit to keep the soil moist.
Im just on my second grow, but ive used MG soil both times with little trouble.

I had everything under control for the first week or so. Then they just stopped growing. Found 2 more bag seeds that i am gonna put with the bagseed from yesterday. I will germ them and put them in legitimate MG, and see if I can get them going good. I don't think it is the light. I've seen people do fine with just a 14w cfl lamp when they are that small.

 

[BBbubblegum]

A is on 3rd node and B is on the second.

 

[BBbubblegum]

No comments? Do they look better?

 

[shap3less]

hard to tell..but that soil looks like bark more than soil..

So transplant tomorrow into MG, or no?

to be totally honest man, i'm so lost with where you're at with your grow. you should just start in mg, if you're going to be using that. transplanting and changing soil this often, this young is only going to cause stress to your little seedlings. if they're growing, let them be until they get a bit bigger. these are plants, they take some time. don't rush things. it will take a few days to see any major changes for better/worse after you do something new. if that's what your plants are at at 3 weeks, there's something awry. what i would do (i had to do it) is just start all over. i had 5 seeds that had cracked, not one had broken the surface after about 6 days. even if they would have, probably would've been some weak plants. so i chucked em all, re-evaluated and started over. only use the mg soil, what kind is it specifically? if you can get your hands on some dolomite lime and some pearlite, add that in. sphagnum peat moss too if you'd like. soak the soil with RO/distilled/set-out tap water before you put the germ'd seeds in then only water when the cup is light. use the 18oz cups to start in, and then transplant when they've got maybe 3 or 4 nodes. if you can make a humidity dome thing over the cup, to keep it a bit more humid in there, that'd help. but remove it as soon as it breaks ground. i don't know man, i've been trying to follow along, but i'm kind of lost..and to be honest, i think that's going to be the best thing for ya

I'm gonna let these 2 be for a little while as they are starting to grow pretty quick. As for the other 3 seeds i am germing, when they crack I will start them in miracle grow.
