jeez, you guys are poppin my cherries left an right

well, i am currently starting 7 plants, after they get big enough to sex them i will murdalate the males, and if im going to take 2 females and continue them outdoors, but i plan on keeping an indoor female to compare between indoor/outdoor growing, see which one is better/im better at. the rest of the females, if there are more than two, im going to remove those and let my growing partner take care of those, he said he would anyway. i may kill em. who knows.
i know i dont have the walls lined or have adequete lighting but im working on that.i nigrigged the fan from an old computer i had laying around, but again, im working on it.

first input id like is anything wrong with my setup that i havent yet mentioned, if its not too much to ask

thanks!

[growin then tokin]

well, i changed things a bit, i got the light above the seeds (yes i just stuck them in the pot, noone told me id have to germinate them first) and i made the fan more accesible (in that box it wasnt getting its full potential) and i lined the walls with what they needed to be lined with.
i did germinate one seed
would it be too late to germinate them after theyve been in the soil for 2 days but havent sprouted yet?

[Raskolnikov]

Some prefer to germinate directly in soil. I wouldn't move them now.

[growin then tokin]

hm..well, i may not be one of those people, its taking too damn long.
for the hell of it stuck a random seed on 6 layers of wet paper towel, covered it with tinfoil, and stuck it in the room with em. its already started splitting. that was maybe...6 hours ago/ish

thanks rask, i read your log, and i wish you many years of happy and undisastorous growing

[growin then tokin]

gahhh damn double posts

[growin then tokin]

hm..most logs were more popular than this. odd. oh well. im not doing this for you, im doing this for me so bite me

[smokedoja]

dude im interested, who cares about anyone else! lol
im a grow log addict so ill be with you all the way through bro dont worry :greenthumb:

[growin then tokin]

aye, thank you mate :)
you make a young stoner proud.

update:
ive learned that my seeds were shit.
but i got 15 more at a music festival this weekend so im gonna restart this whole process.

[smokedoja]

well at least you can germinate them first this time:jointsmile:

[growin then tokin]

yeah hey can you (or someone) tell me if im doing this right..

i put 7 layers of wet paper towel in the bottom of a bowl, put my seeds in, and covered with tinfoil and put it all in my growroom/closet.

is that right or am i doing something incorrectly?

[smokedoja]

yea thats right. make sure you check them a couple times a day and get them out as soon as the crack

[growin then tokin]

mmkay will do :)

thanks

[HighTillIDie]

i prefer to just stick my seeds in the growing medium ... but of course i paper towl germ when i need to... just make sure they stay kinda warm and kinda moist... not extremely! that's it and it is simple

[growin then tokin]

pics:
no activity (duh) but i thought id post a newer pic of my girls room, with all the changes ive made

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3413.jpg

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3410.jpg

[orangeman]

Have they even risen to the surface of the soil yet or are they still under the dirt? How far did you plant em down?

[growin then tokin]

about half an inch below, but i dont have any of my new good seeds in the soil, there in the bowl, with the tinfoil

[growin then tokin]

-gasp-
update!
i know two of the four seeds in the bowl just cracked. they got lil white things stickin out of them

do i plant them now or wait for some more substantial growth?
ive seen some guys germ until they were maybe an inch and a half long

[growin then tokin]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3446.jpg

i thought i should post a pic, try and keep a couple people entertained

some of those are new additions..im adding to me crop

[smokedoja]

get those cracked seeds outta there

[orangeman]

The very minute they split, even when the taproot ISN'T protruding out of the seed shell, it's recommended that you plant them.

[growin then tokin]

oh, those white thingys are the roots?
-runs to grow room to turn my seeds around-

ackk i thought that was the plant itself
my bad

[growin then tokin]

update, but no pictures

ok, so i added a few more plants (im up to eleven) i think (well, i know) i fucked up, i didnt bury the roots all the way and now they wont grow. i think i used the wrong soil too. i did about a 50/50 of topsoil of this stuff called gardner & bloom which is, essentially, organic compost.
but on the lighter side
the newer ones are doing great
the one i name jess is almost 3 inches tall
and the other sprouts are maybe an inch or two
i will post pics as soon as i can
peace nickles

[ismokealldaylong420]

what is your budget i mighy be able to help though im no pro and ive just started back up myself

[growin then tokin]

well...currently, i have..3 dollars. im doing a few big jobs currently so its gonna be expanded to 75 dollars..but most of that is gonna get blown on pot and cigarettes..so i have no budget, all my shit in my growroom was found laying around my house, the light, found in the pantry, the fan, taken off an old computer, tinfoil, in the drawer in the kitchen, soil, stolen from gardening roomates. im sorry to say i have no real budget

[growin then tokin]

ok, this "could" be a prob. i've been closly monitering my first and fastest growin sprout and..i think it should be growing more veg than it is. idk, ill post a pic.

can someone tell me if something is wrong?
oh, dont mind the soil, i actually got this stuff from my backyard. it may not be "steril" but its good shit, it came from the other legal herbs in my garden. its mixed 60/40 with gardner & bloom.

any help would be grootly appericiated and uh..uhhh..(must think of something to type) oh ok i got it.
cliche time!
i was :( so i got together with :) and :wtf: and we took one :rastasmoke: and we felt :cool: we took two more and then got :D then we finished the bowl and we felt like:stoned:


http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3464.jpg

[growin then tokin]

two things to explain, that sprout looks a bit shorter than it really is

and the glass of water in there is my watering glass, but i keep it in there because my growroom was pretty low on humidity..
yeah
keep on toking fellow followers of a lame ass grow log

[growin then tokin]

so nothing is wrong or noone cares?

[BUZz UK]

What sort of light are you using?

[OahuLocal]

Bigger pots. Dont transplant them now though it could cause shock to them since there so young. Next time onces you see the seeds crack, plant them 4 inch into the soil. Get a better fan. What lights are you using?

[growin then tokin]

idk, its a fucking flourescent light, i found it on my messy dining room table
the fan
mmkay, take apart your computer
on the top and towards the back theres a box that has alot of electrical warnings and shit, open that box, and theres a fan in there, thats what im using, its all i have because, as said before, my budget is tight

so when should i transplant them?

[growin then tokin]

ok update
growth on both Jess and Mel have slowed considerably, which is..well i dont know enough about growing to know if thats good or not. jess is still putting along but mel has slowed more. one of these days im gonna get those empty pots outta there..

anyway, there hasnt been enough change to post pics so for now you get nothing

[bombdiggity]

you are definetly gonna need more lights that that. try investing $20 in some CFLs

[growin then tokin]

andd where do i get these?

[growin then tokin]

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3507.jpg
transplanted
there doing well, even mel who lost a leaf in my attempt to make them stand upright

[thedapper1]

kill em an start again too stretched

[Stealth331]

You need to get CFL @ least (6500K) and get them closer.

You have a ton of stretch going on. Getting the CFL and getting them closer will prevent the dreaded stretch.

[growin then tokin]

i cant kill them, i dont have any more seeds
so kiss my ass
second, how many times do i have to bloody tell you, I CANNOT GET A FUCKING CFL, A BETTER FAN, ANYTHING. i will put my current light closer if you think that would help.

[Stealth331]

People post in your thread (trying to help you) and you got the sack to come back with kiss my ass.?? You are either a punk kid or an asshole yourself obviously.

You don't need your light closer...all you have to do is:
Take your current light, screw it into your ass and stick your tongue in a light socket...

Yeah....that'll help.

Good luck

[growin then tokin]

yo, i wanna apologize
i was really drunk, im sorry.

but i did move my light closer, hoping against hope they quit growing taller and grow more veg.
pics coming soon

[PopaBean]

Cool...it's all good.

I was just trying to help.:jointsmile:

Looking forward to your updates.

Peace :hippy:

It is me Stealth..I lost my P/W and can't seem to get it back so I re-registered.

[growin then tokin]

ok so picture
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y249/cracker-jack/100_3590.jpg

after moving the light ive noticed dramatic changes
jess has started to get her second set of leaves and mell is spoutin leaves left and right

[growin then tokin]

oh and this is gonna be a short log. after space requires, im moving them to my growing partners house.

[growin then tokin]

wow
seems like i check em every two hours or so and everytime they get a new blade

and mels started developing true fingered leaves

i nearly came.
wait..
ah there it is
http://i12.tinypic.com/680n883.jpg just a pic to keep you entertained. i had to shut the light off for pictures cause they were coming out shittay



i am wayy too stoned for thiss:stoned:

[Shovelhandle]

by golly, they are doing much better!

Good luck, man.

Shovelhandle

[PopaBean]

Looks ike they are filling out some!!!

Nice

Now do you have that light as close as possible w/o burning?
I ask this b/c this should cut down on your stretch and help them babies fill out.

You want a shrub or a tree?

Shrub = close lighting
Tree = Keep it high and hope for the best.

All the best

Popabean

[growin then tokin]

thanks for your support

yes i do have the light closer. maybe ill take a backed off pic of the entire room. and i prefer a shrub.

and a question

how close is too close?
cause i really dont wanna burn them.

and one more thing

when they were first sprouting they had those lil round unserated "leaves". jess's have been dieing but mels is still grean and fresh. is this good/bad/neuteral/wierd?

and i threw in some more dirt to help them stand up on there own better. i dunno if its helped.

thats what yah git. more pics later.

[PopaBean]

Dont worry about them little round things.....You are all set

I would say to keep the lights about 4"-6" away. Start with 6 or a little more and slowly lower until you get as close ad possible w/o burning.

One thing you might want to do it repot them things and fill the dirt right up to those little round things you are speaking of...That part of the plant has no problem developing roots. It will also cut down on the stretch you got going on.

Then keep your lights close like you have them and you will be good to go.

Might stunt them for a couple days but thats ok...you want bushy not lanky..

I am just regurgitating stuff I've read here...but I am SURE I read you can re-pot up to the round things w/o a problem.
Others might be able to give you advice as well.

Looking fwd. to the pics man..

EDIT: Didn't realized the ban:stoned:

:hippy:

[dejayou30]

With those long stems, I don't think you're going to be able to support much of a plant once it really grows. I would fill in some dirt around those monster stems and get some better light ASAP or this log will be very short.

[palerider7777]

^^^^ lmfao lol

[zebracakes]

haha didnt realize the ban?
you think the man can keep me down?
naw man i found a Weed Gnome with a packed bowl of mine a week ago and taught me a magical way to come back. damnn im good.

anyway

i did what those guys said to do, get some more dirt around the stems.
mel has one leaf (her oldest one, the first one she got) is black at the very tip and is starting to yellow. is this a nute prob or what?

[PopaBean]

By burying them as instructed, you are going to probably set them back a bit... but if it is all you have to play with, then don't worry. Wait it out

Also, don't over water..what are you using for dirt again?

[zebracakes]

im currently using potting soil with perlite and shit mixed in with it..its kinda generic, ill take a pic sometime
and ive got a bit of it mixed in which is just regular potting soil.

cant put pictures now, im at a library compy.

and yeah i have noticed that jess had started a new set of leaves and then once i redid them she stopped.
other than that one fucked leaf i havent noticed any other changes in them, cept jess who, in the "crotches" between the shoot and the stem itself, sorta like

I
I /
I/
I

there are these tiny itty bitty spikey thingys, too small to take a pic of..dunno what they are.

[zebracakes]

ok so shit my camera has decided it wants to be dumb. no pictures.

however
theyve started showing sex and i think mel is male (yeah i know) and jess might be female. i think im gonna let em both get a little farther along before i take plants out, dry em smoke em just for the hell of it mainly.

peace, fellow cannabis.com grow log whoores,
