Tempting Fate ................

Ah well gin, I do get the "wrong end of the stick" sometimes :o .................... My family say that's because of to many years smoking weed, it's sent me "soft in the head" according to them :o




A very quick update .............................. Well the tenth seed is a "dud", it hasn't germinated so I have nine sprouts that have just poked through the compost and are now under the MH.

I say I have "no plans" for this grow but that isn't entirely true, one thing that I am going to do is to give them quite a long time on the vegitive growth cycle. I want to make sure I have some "mature" plants before flowering ;)



love mand xxx:)

Great! They all popped. Good job. They should take off now that you've got them under that HID. Now all we've got to hope for is them being female, eh?

Hi Mand,

At it again I see.

How's the temps in your grow room now that you have that heater?

March is here, should be warming up soon.

Good luck with your new grow.

Hopefully no more droopy problems with these, eh?

The greatest of luck.

<3

Hi,Mand mind if I tag alone on these trip,be nice to watch and learn from a pro and pro's who will reply when you need help:rasta:

Hello Kush :) I've included a couple of pics, just to show how things are looking after 24 hours under the MH.
They will strech a little, it's something I just don't worry about and in a few days I will support them with sticks. However within a few weeks hopefully they will be self supporting ........................... this is just my little way it always happens this way because I don't like having the light to close to babies;)


Hello Happy :) The tempreture is much better :) , I have also gone really super duper Hi-tech and even put an old thermometer I found in there, it's showing a temp around the 70F area (daytime).
I am hoping to be able to get the heater out of there by mid April ;)


Hello Grim :) Eeerrrggghhh the droopy leaves, I am expecting them again that is why I wanted to swop growrooms but I simply just can't wait to get started.
Anyway if they do droop when going to 12/12, I will just carry on regardless under the HPS and see how thing's turn out :o


Hello bluntman:) Yes tag along with pleasure, I always wellcome any comments or critism ;)
Honestly though love I am not a pro, I do have experience of growing but it is always a very basic and simple growing method :o

Oh if I can I do try to reply to peoples posts but I'm affraid there is a lot about growing I don't know, so I am limited to how much help or advice I can give :o


Thanks guys ................................ love mand xxx:)

Aww, how cute.

Hi Mand,

Looks like you're addicted! ;) Just can't be without growing babies for long can ya. I know how ya feel. I've got some seeds that are from some wicked potent 1 hit wonder stuff but have resisted throwing them in some dirt. Too many other things going on. But here's a question for ya.

Do you reuse your dirt from grow to grow?

Hope you're having a nice life Granny Mand! Haven't talked to you in what seems like ages.

LOVE YA!

Marc

Do you transplant the subjects, and if so, when do you do it? Thanks!

All healthy little sprouts from what I can see. Stretching is normal as far as from what I found --- sprouting under sunlight, HPS, MH, or CFLs, the seedling always stretches at least 1.2 inches. If you're really worried about stretching and the effects that it'll bring [ weak stem ] you can use a fan on them, or practice light exercises -- bending the plant at different points along the stem, gentle twisting of the stems, generally things that would cause light repairable damage to the plant, to encourage growth.
