MY FIRST :) . Hash Plant from MM seeds in vancouver.

Your doing fine.

HPS is the prefered light for blooming, it will make the sprouts stretch a little. A 4' shop light with cool white or daylight lamps works good for seedlings for the first 4 weeks.

Dirt from the garden is not a great idea. You can introduce bad bugs and stuff. Transplant using potting soil mixture.

Thanks ! I have them under 400 hps right now with a fan blowing across the plants.

Im going transplant tonight into larger (final ?) containers, probably 2 gallon.

Im going to transplant in to ProMix/vermecitle ? Should that work ?

Should I add anything to the soil mix ? I can get seabird guano but its a little expensive ...

Alaska fish emulsion is cheaper , and Ive heard its quite good for vedg nutrients. I can also get sea kelp emulsion pretty cheap....Also gonna pick up a proper ph meter and thermometer today...

Thanks again :)

I use potting soil, vermiculite, perlite and worm castings. Think of maybe 3 gallon for a minimum size pot.

I also have had good grows with the kelp and fish emulsions. That's about all I used for outdoors.

There are many, many nutes and micro, macro nutes people use for growing and blooming mj. I don't think you need all that for a small grow. Just some nutes higher in P/K and lower in N for blooming.

you can pull those stakes, if ya want ... by the time the plants might need support, they will be in much larger containers ... nice grow :thumbsup:

When I transplant tonight , Should I fill up with soil higher up the stem ?

Ive heard that can help with root devel. But dont want to screw anything up..


Thanks Again :)

From what I've read roots will grow from the stalk up to the seed leaves (the first round leaves). If you put soil much beyond that you run a risk of stem rot.

Yea I transplanted only up to an inch away from the first set of
leaves just to be sure

Transplant went well :) I flushed the old soil , and then they went in to ProMix Organic mix with extra peralite I added.

The roots all looked really healthy and white from what I could see along the edges.

So back to vedg. hopefully they will pick up the growth speed now :)

I'll post some pics this wekend.

Thanks !

Ok , so i'm at just over 2 weeks since they poped out of the soil.


They seem to like their new homes, even the runt is starting to grow fast. :)

I was wondering , How long should I leave them to vedgitate. I dont have a very large space , so I cant have huge plants.

How much do they grow after they start to flower ?

Should I go Scrog or Lst ?

Lots of questions I know ;)

Peace.

Hi All :)
Heres a bit of an update.


We're at 24 days now since the seed first felt water.


I have nothing to judge them by, but should they be bigger by this point ?

I just want to make sure that Im doing all I can to get the best ( fastest) growth.



I plan on getting 4 ladies out of the 10 seed, ( about 60% male is the norml right ?)

Out of the four, I plan on LSTing or Scrog to get a nice full canopy for my 400watt grow space of 4x2x6.

Id like to get a 1pd of personal, a set of clones to put outside this summer ,and the best lady out of the batch to make a nice bonzai
mother


SO thats the plan :) Hope it all goes well.

Thanks for the replies.

So Im having to leave for 4 days. I just watered very good. DO you think they will be fine without water for a few days ?


Thanks
