size of cannabis seedling?

stonedpixie · Dec 12, 2012

yeah, with growing, def need to learn patience lol. think il lay off watering for next couple days i guess, even though i was only spraying a few times, maybe it is overwatering, time will tell. its just disheartening when you see people upload pics of their 7 day old seedlings, that are a few days behind, and look a few weeks better lol. how many days you been growing drizzle?

drizzlej · Dec 12, 2012

its either day 7-8 lol forgot when they sprouted since i had a lot going on and have been working longer hours. Only good thing about long hours is when i get off it seems like they have progressed a good amount (even if it is not much). The most excitement is seeing one that was barely on its 2nd leaves shoot up and caught up with my top seedling.. also added a 85w cfl full spec so that might..have helped lol

If the soil is 100% dry a couple of hours after watering then it definitely isn't over-watering. It's something else. You'd need
the plant sitting in wet soil for a couple of days unable to breath for it to be overwatered.

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

thanks

well, it def isnt sitting in wet soil. il keep an eye on it, even if it droops a bit, im not too concerned, as long as its growing tbh. Hopefully when I get the converter, to convert light fittings, il be able to fit the 6500k bulbs, and that should help things along a bit, im hoping anyway lol

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

ive got the light converters now, so ive put in 2 6500k 30w bulbs. hopefully that will make it grow a bit better

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

will the 2 30w 6500 bulbs help the seedling at all? ive put one about an inch away, and moved the rest a bit closer too, will this help it grow better?

iamjustthatguy · Dec 13, 2012

You want at least 100w of light per mature plant, and adding more cfls will help to a degree. However, when they are this young they only really need 30-50w each to thrive. Also, try to maintain your cfls to about 3 inches. You can easily burn a seedling at this age if you put that cfl on top of it. What is your light cycle atm?

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

ive only got one seedling atm. the cfl is about an inch away, so its not right on top, and it seems to be alright temps, i mean i have a fan blowing onto it too, so it should be cool enough. the light cycle is 18/6 atm. so, like i said, i have 130w for seedling. in the grow cabinet, im planning on putting a further 2 21w 2700k, another 30w 2700k, and another 2 20w 2700k, so another 110w, so would 240w be ok for one plant do u reckon? would i get an ok yield if conditions are good? planning on vegging (after seedling phase) for about 3-4 weeks, then flowering until the end

friendlyperson92 · Dec 13, 2012

the more light the better. just put the back of your hand or your wrist where your plant is. if it burns you, then it's too hot for the plant.

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

thanks

ive already did that test, and it feels quite warm, but not hot where it burns. do you reckon adding the 2 6500k bulbs today will help growth at all? also, with what i put it my earlier post, about all the lights il be using, will that be ok for the one plant, should I be able to get a decent enough yield etc? Im not looking for stellar results this grow, only to have enough bud to last for a week or 2 lol

iamjustthatguy · Dec 13, 2012

The amount of watts you will have/currently have is fine. Remember you want more 6500 during veg and more 2700 during flowering. Not 100% of either but like a 70-30 split is what I did for cfls.

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

for the time being, have only 2 6500k, and 2 4200k, and the rest 2700k, hopefully it will be ok

drizzlej · Dec 13, 2012

should be i rearranged my grow area also... have any updated pics seen any new growth since last time we spoke? (My 2nd best is now my best so they can change pretty quick it seems)

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

havent got any updated pics as of yet, will try and upload some tomorrow. theres new growth def, the first 2 leaves arent droopy any more, also, the second set of leaves have grown bigger, theyre now at the end of the cotyledons. also can see a tiny bit new growth, of a new set of leaves developing inside the second set of leaves, in the middle. also, the node has grown taller slightly, now the second set of leaves arent resting on the cotyledons anymore, theyre raised above it. so in a nutshell, putting the lights closer, and adding the 6500k bulbs seem to have done the trick

not sure if adding some nutes helped yesterday or not either, but hey, something is going well

have started a grow diary, will be posting pics etc to that

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

how tall are yours now drizzle? how many leaves etc? what strain are you growing? have u got any pics?

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

tried to add these pics to my grow journal, cant seem to for some reason. But anyway, these are pics at 10 days old, have added 2 30w 6400k bulbs, lowered lights closer, turned one light off, a 20w 4200k, as it was too far away for it to be effective anyway. Its looking better now, not droopy, has grown a bit too

friendlyperson92 · Dec 13, 2012

i see the problem. the lights give off more light to the sides. not through the top. your plants aren't getting as much light as you think. you need to change the direction of the bulbs so the sides face the plant.

drizzlej · Dec 13, 2012

strain is bag seeds lmao , didn't want to buy some till i have some successful grows under my belt

ya about day 8-9 and there pretty short hvn't grown much wit height but i keep alot of cfls pretty close ....BTW fed them pretty good 2day since i haven't watered in a while so they might be droopy

<-- this one was pretty bad after sprout, but is growing fast, most of its 2nd leaves have been in the past day n a half..

stonedpixie · Dec 13, 2012

friendlyperson, unfortunately, im unable to put the lights to the side more, as the lights are connected to the clipper connections, that are clipped to edges of pc case, so to get them close, this is the best i can do, however, it has mylar in the pc case, so it is getting reflected light

if i try to move the lights to the side, they would end up going further away from the plant, so as it is now, the plant is still getting a lot of light, and it is just the seedling, its not in the bigger pot/wardrobe etc ready for vegging yet

drizzle, the plant looks great for the age, the second set of leaves are def bigger than mine lol, but im sure mine will catch up

drizzlej · Dec 13, 2012

eh kind of wish they were a little bigger haha

, understand your clipper connections using 3 of em with y connectors with 2 bulbs in each... they seem to have decent growth 2day since i moved stuff around using my t5 for new germinating/seedlings and put the huge(literally lol'd when i opened the box on it) 85w full spec above them both and the clips cfls from the sides... thinking about getting another 85w since the price on them aren't to bad on amazon.
