First year ever growing.

[midgetgrower]

Well i just started to germinate 3 more seeds today early this morning, but thats only a little addition to what i have in total. roughly saying around 16 and now 3 in germ for today.

Here are the supplies needed:
1. Good seeds
2. Black planter trays
3. Good soil
4. Water
5. Good source light
6. Styrofoam polar pop cups.


once acquired, fill with dirt each section in the black planter trays estimation around 24 spots in each tray. grab the seeds and place one in each spot shortest end first into the dirt.then lightly cover the seed with dirt about a centimeter down.
*keep moist
*under light (outdoors/indoors)

one week later....

should have sprouted according to plan and once sprouted, acquire the Styrofoam cups now. fill the cup close to the top then pop 4 good size holes on the bottom for water drainage and then transplant the plant from the planter tray into the cup. do this to each sprouted plant. Then place your cup under a good light source. and keep moist at ALL times. Check your items daily. also have in a good environment...

ill soon be able to place a couple pics up so ill do that in a bit.



bye

!!! Stale air will collect in the cup around the base of the stem, with the cup only half full like they are. It'll cause stemrot and she'll go limp and dry up.

unless.

you have a large fan blowing DIRECTLY on them. not battering, but rustling.

thanks ill do that. ill have more pictures up soon.

and keep moist at ALL times.


that is incorrect, cannabis requires a wet/dry cycle... keeping the soil moist at all times will prevent the roots from being able to get oxygen and also potentially cause root rot.

the roots also grow the most when the soil is dry.

i heard it from a more experienced grower.

i think he knows what hes doing.

syde's telling you right, he knows what's up.:thumbsup:

suit yourself i guess... i have nothing to gain or lose by trying to convince you of anything.

clearly you have not done any research of your own.

[midgetgrower]

when i say moist i dont mean to water it. having it completly dry would be bad. ik that much.

[headshake]

i heard it from a more experienced grower.

if they are seedlings then yes, you keep the soil moist. if they are not seedlings anymore you plants, don't require per se, a wet/dry cycle, but they tend to prefer it.

syde knows what he's talking about.

[midgetgrower]

well thats what i ment. i didnt mean completly soak the plants.

[headshake]

i wasn't implying that you were. i just felt that there is a bit of confusion that needed cleared up seeing as your plants are still seedlings.

[midgetgrower]

only 3 of the 19 or something that i have planted in the great outdoors...


there all looking quite healthy

[JD1stTimer]

And in the outdoors even newly sprouted seedlings don't usually have moist soil 24/7. I water my plants, whether seedlings or fully mature, when the top inch of soil is dry. I stick my finger in one inch deep and if it is wet I wait until tomorrow and check again. If you plant your seeds about 1/2 inch deep it will reach the "permamoist" zone in plenty of time assuming you don't have temps in the 90s with desert-like humidity. So far I have never had any problem with root rot or drying out. The root can grow 1/2 inch within a few hours easily. If it stays continuously moist at the top of the soil you are asking for problems, even with newly-planted seeds. If you olet it dry out the way it would in nature you won't have much problem with damping off at all. In fact why is it called damping off? Because your soil is too damp.

jusr checked the babys and there looking all healthy...

my indoor ones are going to be planted outside here shortly.. there running out of root space.....

[FPU4eva]

good job partner heres hoping to a good year!!!

damping off is a fungal infection. low light levels, low temps, high humidity and waterlogged medium can all contribute to this.

waterlogged, not moist.

so i walk to my garden to water and i noticed that one of my plants had been "stepped" on by some kind of animal, the stem had been completly broken in haf.
and then to the right i saw that another plant of mine had been "eaten" half of the plant was missing and idk its still healthy looking and green.

but other than that everything is going accordingly to plan.... so far

ill have more pics soon

[midgetgrower]

ok soooo almost all my plants had been eaten!!!!
