growing in progress, need a bit of help

[fuzzylogic]

Ok well I planted 5 seeds directly in plastic cups 4 days ago, kept the moist, and they have done nothing yet, is that a bad thing? I also germinated some seeds using paper towels but I'm not sure if they are ready to be moved into cups yet. I moved 1 into a cup as an example to see if I did it correctly.

the ones that have roots place them in cups w/ the entire seed burried.. it'll find it's way to the light..
the ones that i placed under my HID sprouted above ground in 1 day, floros i think may take just a little bit longer..
just push your finger in the dirt, grab some tweezers and drop the seed in.. put a little dirt on top so that roots dont get hit by the light, and wa-la... bunch of little plants!

[fuzzylogic]

Thanks, seems easy enough, I'll be back with more pictures in a few days :).

yes as soon as they sprout then plant them and if i were you i would find the largest pots you have because then it will save you the time later of transplanting. You only need to plant them about 1/2 inch under the soil they will dig down

Ok well 2 plants started to grow pretty nicely, the rest haven't done much of anything yet. Maybe they are dead? I took a few pictures of the 2 that are growing.

CAN WE SAY SSTTRREECCHH?? YOU NEED TO GET SOME LIGHT CLOSE TO THEM. THEY ARE WAY TOO LANKY. GOOD LUCK

[The Grim Reefer]

Poor ladies want their mother sun as Boyznus already stated.

Get some lights on yo girls!

[fuzzylogic]

ok what if I used normal lights with like 75 watt bulbs, I dont have any flourecents and the sun has not really been shining here for the past like 4 days.

[fuzzylogic]

Ok I bought a nice light yesterday, 2000 lumens or something, 150 watt I think (spiral looking one). The two plants that were already sprouted look better already after one 10 hour period with the light. I just planted about 10 more seedlings 1/4'' roots burried them about 1 seed length deep just about. Included a few pics of my small setup. Feedback would be appreciated. Thank you!

yeah, first for me.

[HapaPride]

make sure the light is really close... maybe 2" away.. and hmm put a fan on them to help strengthen the stem

[Garden Knowm]

congrats on the babies...

get more of those lights.. get the cfl lights that are 2600 lumens or more..

they sell them at walmart/home depot for 8-12 dollars.

keep the lights close... less than 2 inches...

: )

you wantto have at the least for two plants 3-4 CFLs and spread them aroudn the plant as it grows and develops nodes. Gte them in larger pots so you don't stress them as they get bigger by transplanting, you would be surpirised how big the root system gets even on these small little suckers. CFLs like it was said up top run cooler so you can get them about 2-3" from the leaves, i'd say 4-5" while they're small cause i noticed a little burning on mine at that stage but don't have the leaves touch the light, get a fan on them to so the stems strengthen up.


Congrats

Ok well it's been 24 hours since my new seedlings were set into cups and 4 of them are already about 1-1.5'' tall and have their first 2 leaves. I have a question about the number of hours I should keep the light on. Right now they're getting light for about 10 hours a day. Is that ok or should I try to have it on for a little more?

[s12fever]

wow, no offence to your ladies but they're the lankiest cunts i've ever seen! Since you've got new lights now they'll surely thicken up. Mine are also quite skinny, seems like we're both at th same stage of growing. Do you have MSN so we could share ideas?

[fuzzylogic]

msn is [email protected] I'll catch you sometime tommorow, going to sleep with my ladies

[s12fever]

ok i've added you.
Just bought a 4ft 80w flo tube and a timer... getting another 80w tube and fan in 4 days, finally start to get a little serious with my lights (in my price range:o)
yea catch up 2mrw.
