Ok ppl here are some pics of my seedlings tell me what ya think

[bombdiggity]

looking good so far!

:thumbsup:

I'd cut the tops off of the cups to about 1/2" from the soil line. Air needs to be able to circulate around the stems in order to strengthen them, and to prevent the air around them from becoming stagnant. It's not necessarily something that's mandatory, but it'll help to keep the seedlings happy.

Take care. :jointsmile:

Ok ill try cutting tha tops off the cups to see what happens. Well ill have anouther pic update in a few days. Its been raining all day and its kinda cool outside so i hope they are ok. Im sure once the sun pops out they will be good.Oh yeah im only useing some potting soil thats all i had. Im gonna get some better soil when i get ready to tranzplant them in tha ground im not sure but i think it would be better to buy a good soil and dig a hole and then fill it up with the new soil then tranzplant it there is this right or would it be better to just plant in tha ground? Well thanx for looking at my log and for the advice.

[Mr. Clandestine]

Yes, I agree that you should invest in a quality potting soil to use in your outdoor plots. Cannabis roots don't thrive in clay, or soil that is similar in texture and composition. There are many soils for you to choose from, each with advantages and disadvantages. Check out the Outdoor Growing section to see what some other outdoor growers have used in their successful grows. You'll find a wealth of information on these boards, you just need to have the time and the patience to sit down and read through the good posts and the bad.

Best of luck with your grow, I'll be keeping an eye on your grow log and rooting for ya! :jointsmile:

Thanx man its glad to no someone is watching and keeping track. Well ill have a look in the outdoor section. Pics in a few days when they get a lil bigger.:rastasmoke:

Well after all tha rain yesterday it got kinda cold lastnight it was about 47f outside. So i think that might have had something to do with one of my plants. It looks like its not gonna make it but we will see. Its not sopposed to be cold tonight i'll have to wait and see. Pic updates in a couple days i hope they all make it.

[Mr. Clandestine]

47F is pretty brisk, but luckily for us, these plants can take a beating and suffer through all sorts of adverse weather conditions and still come out on top. Best of luck with yours. :jointsmile:

[LiGhT420]

yeah ppl have told me the same thing about the plants i hope that they come out ok oh and i cut the tops off the cups like you said thanx for looking at my log and keeping up with it

[LiGhT420]

Ok well today i go out to check if my plants are good and that one that wasint looking to good looks dead. So now i only have 3 i took some pics for you ppl to check out. One of my plants the leaves are turning yellow at tha tips of the leaves anyone no why?

[Mr. Clandestine]

Not sure what kind of soil you're using, but if it came fertilized out of the bag, it may be a little too "hot" for your seedlings. I see some perlite mixed in, but not enough in my opinion. Every commercial potting soil I've ever run across needed to be cut with at lease some perlite. It loosens the soil up and makes for much more tolerable conditions for the roots. It's too late to worry about adding it now, but in the future, definitely use more when planting into any kind of potting container.

Just keep watering like normal, and hope for the best. Don't add any fertilizers, just water. Also, if there are still significant temperature differences between day/night, you might think about bringing them inside and growing them under a couple of CFLs, then transplanting outside when they're a little more hardy, and able to tolerate outdoor conditions a little better.

[LiGhT420]

Yeah it hasint been getting down past 60F at night so i dont no if that is to cold or what should i use perlite if im planting them outdoors

[Mr. Clandestine]

Roots grow better indoors when perlite is added to aerate the soil. I've noticed that outdoors they seem to grow much hardier root systems that can do without the need for lighter soil, as they generally grow much larger much faster when growing under the natural sun. But, for at least the early stages before the first transplant, I'd definitely add at least 20% perlite to the soil mix you're using.

[LiGhT420]

Ok well ill try that if somethign happens to these plants in tha next couple of days

[LiGhT420]

Ok well the plants havint really changed any today was the first day that it was sunny the past 2 days it hasint really been sunny so i dont no will post new pics when tha plants have grown a lil more

[Shovelhandle]

[LiGhT420]

I wish i could grow in my yard but i cant. I have a nice lil place back in tha woods im gonna spread them out though. Prob plant them in diff places. I just have to get some better soil do you no any good brands that i could get a wal-mart? There isint a hydro shop close by or anyother places that have that ocean forest stuff. Is there any other brands that wal-mart would have that are good?

[LiGhT420]
