First grow first log using bagseed and CFL's

alright fillled them up with soil.. just wondering what does this do besides make the stem shorter? does it make roots come out from the stem or anything?

ive never realy dug them up and checked.... but im fairly sure that the stem does put roots out... also are you going to be useing any other lights for flowering or the cfls?

idk might try to get a HPS but idk if ill have enough money for the whole set up? why you dont think the cfls would be enough?

CFLs will work, that's what i use right now. Just get a few more.

how many you think ill need for flowering?

here they are at a week #4 is still looking kinda sick idk if its gonna pull through but shows some signs of improvement.

Hey Agenttnk, Check out my thread, were pretty close to age's plant-wise. Except yours are looking very small, unless those cups are rather large.

Im on about week 2 or halfway through week 2.

here they are at a week and a half.. been watering them with tap water that ive left sit for a while idk if i should use that or if i should use bottled water. but the tips of some of the leave and the bottom round leaves are turning a bit yellow.. not sure whats happening.. no nutes eiether and i water about once every 3 days

Well after reading over the thread it doesn't seem like you were over watering, which was my first thought so my next wild guess would be soil and /or Ph. What soil are you using? Is it pre-fertilized? Those pots have drainage, right??

I have started seedlings in soil that was too hot, too rich for young seedlings and its essentially the same as nute burn....stunted growth, yellowing leaves, etc. Even some organic soil is too rich for some strains. Now I just start in seedling soil or Fox Farms Light Warrior.

Not saying thats your issue, but it does have similarities to what I have experienced.

Good luck! :thumbsup:

I havent watered them since the first time i put them in the soil which is 4 days from now.. cause i read somehwere you want the roots to stretch to look for water. I might water a little tomorrow. Any advice is welcomed :rasta:

Hey agenttnk

When you grow from a seed, the plant won't flower until it is mature enough to do so. It's not mature enough until the nodes start to alternate. Node is just the name for the junction of the petioles (leaf stem) and the axial (main stem). Look at how the leaves are growing. They come out in pairs with each pair opposed roughly 90 degrees from the last pair. When it gets mature enough to flower the leaves won't be in pairs anymore they will grow out staggered like 1 on the left side then 1 on the right side (alternating) then 1 in the front and so on. When you see that then you can change the light timing to 12 on & 12 off so they reveal their sex. The females get buds and the males get moved out or mulched unless you want seeds. But unless they're mature 12 on & 12 off won't do anything but slow down the growth and make it take longer. Good growing with ya :thumbsup:
