1st grow.bagseed(pics)

i have about 13 little ones growing in a mix of MG and native soil(spare the nute burn advice i already know).i have two that are a week old but seem to be moving slowly.they look healthy tho especically after being flooded and transplanted.


the white and browns spots on the leafs are dirt and sand from the soil......do you all think they are good size for plants there age?

about an inch high

Yea there doin good bro. i love baby plants, so much potential. The fact that the two inital fan leaves are intact and quite wide and green says they're getting plenty of light. and dont worry if they start off a little short, 1 inch is fine it means they are rooting well. my first batch was about 3-4 inches at one week. needles to say, they all died before reaching 3 weeks. streched themselves to death, no good root system either. second batch almost an inch at one week, finished at about five feet high 4 feet around. best of luck buddy, even though u stared with an unlucky number.

since thier in MG im not going to use any plant food untill they are about 2 months old(good idea?).

im using softened water.since its high in salt im gonna start to boil it and let it cool before watering to get all the chlorine and salt out

will be transplanting them from the traditional/MG to some different traditional/MG soil in the woods at about week 5.any idea of how far down the roots are at that age??.

after week 6 ill be using MG plant food once a week.wish me luck

had 2 be.i think thats the only way a plant can stretch that much.they stretch because thier reaching for light.

first of all, rain water is the best option. if u can collect it in somthing i recomend it (natural is best). next if they are in a container always assume the root system has spead throughout the entire medium. if they are in the ground assume they are very large before you transport them, cut the hole as large as u can to remove it, if u f*ck up the roots your plants will most likely go into shock and possibly hermie or die. next miracle grow plant food is for shit, the soil is not bad tho for some reason. go with water mixed with proper nutes or just water is fine. hope this helps

yea guys it was the lighting. i had it set high to cover a wide spectrum. beginners mistake didnt happen again.

yes youve helped.i actually do have a vase collecting rain water(i use that when its full) but florida has been funny lately.see were in a drought but when it rains oh how it pores.and i dont even think about water for another 6 or so days after that.last rain flooded myy plants(floating)had to transplant to the miracle grow side of the garden.

well i sure did have bad luck.i got a knock at the door from police.....well u no i ran to the back and pulled all my plants and threw them befor i evened opened it!.and guess wat. they were at the door because of some shit with the alarm system messing up.DAAAAAMN IM MAD.one in the ground and its now becoming a indoor plant.im only using two 14w cfls untill i transplant back into the ground this time its gonna be in the woods(i already have a good spot) at about 3 weeks.how long do you all think it will last under such small watts?

Better safe than sorry. Atleast you got a plant left.

total bummer!

when police come to your door always talk through the door. Tell them your naked and need to get dressed. You could of opened the door and one police says I smell something and it's over. How do you think I got my name ?

Being paranoid can save you but kill your plants, It's a double edged sword.

Hope the one works out for you.

thank you all for the replys.

the one is doin great under two 14w cfls.its probly gonna be hermie tho because i have no set lighting schedual i just have them on as much as i can about 18/6.but its not at the same times every day.

ill update pics when i get a chance
