What does a healthy 2 week old plant look like?

This plant was started from seed.
A MANGO seed.
It was a bag seed placed in a rockwool cube and sprouted in 1 day.
At 3 days it was put into a larger rockwool cube 2x4x4.
At 5 days, it was put in soil


The soil is MIRACLE GROW. LOL.
The room stays at about 70 degrees.
I think it is a 1 gallon container.

It is 14 days old 4.5 inches tall.
The 5th node is just forming.


It has 3 cfl' directly on top of it. 2(150 watt) and 1(200watt) CFL.

There are 5 additional CFL's within 6 inches of the plant

Notice how close the cfl's are to the plant.

The container was watered twice thouroughly..
1 gallon of water each time.
No FERTS
PH level... 8.0 (not the correct PH- correct PH would be 6.8)

Letme know if you would like to see more.

love

Your plants look 100% healthy. Though I heard some bad stuff about miracle-gro :p I dont know how much of it is true but yeah..I like what I see so far :D.

if ph is to high u stunt ur plants nutrient lock out is not good
gl

I often wonder where those plants w/soil sitting at 4.0 or 8.0 are getting their nutrients from,,when they look so Healthy and vigorous.When everything you read tells you otherwise?? How much better would they really look if the soil was at 6.8??

love

yes I hear you loud and clear

its so easy... yes the PLANT is amazing...
love

If you used miracle-grow there are ferts in there,they will sometimes last up to 2 mos, you should wait three months after use of miracle grow to eat or smoke,Just a sugestion..... use something organic w/water.and the water is also ph balanced, when the time comes..

yes toni..
absolutley
the point of the grow is to show how easy it is to grow..
MG is definitley not the choice of soil and actually many people have had problems with it on this site..

This is an experiment for newbies to see
Especially people who start from seed
So many people post pics of their seedlings at two weeks and they are 1/5 the size of this monster and 3 inches taller..

So I came across this seed and thought I'd show a healthy BUGGER..

: )

PH 8 water to show that with MG SOIL.. you can just add water

The water comes out of the tap here at 242 ppm.
And must be filtered/RO to use in Aeroponic sytems. But it will be fine for a soil grow.

cheers!

NICE!
you started from clones?

The plant above is from seed and grown under CFL...

Wait till you see them at 3 weeks!!

love : )

good job garden i used mirical grow on my first grow and they were no where near that size at that age will be following this thread very intresting :thumbsup:

ouch I have same problom in my grow room,but they havent started feeding on my plants yet,thank god.I really keep the floor clean every day i sweep or vacume or mop it,That helps w/bugs as well,as those pesky mice I set mouse traps every night and catch them every night,its a never ending battle.I just dont want anything nonorganic in my grow room. I heard once that x-lax works really well,but not if you have alot of them,That would not be a pretty site to walk into,10 mice who have shit them selfs to death in your grow room,yucky,anyone else have some good advice??? By the way that plant is off the hook for her age??Keep us updated?

Leem your plants look very well also for that age..

WOW...
Very nice...
I will post some pics from day 21 soon.. and we can get a look at the difference...

It willl be a good comparison between CFL and HID..

LEEM, you said you have mice? eating you plants... why not set traps? Or purchase those ELECTRONIC pest deterent devices.

: )

Wow Garden, nice plant. Kick-ass plant in fact.

Here's a pic of one of my girls @ 2 weeks (14 days).

Yeah, whatever... laugh all you want...

hahahahahahahahahaha

love

I also have a grapefruit X earlybud, im verry keen to try it out, as i loved to smoke both of the strains.

Hey leem
That picture you posted... is that a real plant? Or is it a GHOST of a dead plant?

It sure looks like a ghost to me...

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I have 2 grow rooms with about 4 weeks between them, 21 plants in total. I have just started a new batch of early bud witch i got the seeds from the first grow. Dont try to make me out to be a lyer, becouse you will just end up looking stupid. I can show you pics of all the grows i have done and you will see they have all been grown in the same location. :confused:

Ok, calm down people...
Leem, here's the situation:
The thread is about a "healthy" plant.
You posted pics of your plants. Garden is taking a shot at you by saying that they look like "ghosts". He's just teasing you dude... He isn't saying your a liar. He's just taking cheap shots at your plants.... just tell him that he gOOgled his images... or that his pictures are made in PhotoShop...
But again, no, he isn't calling you a liar.

Please people, let's be polite....

Dude! He has no problem!

He called your plants a "ghost" becuase, in the context of this thread, it looks "dead"... thus, a ghost.

He's comparing your plants to his super healthy 2week old plant... dude, there's no point in arguing. He isn't insulting you.... let it go dude...

Yeah.. Don't piss on Garden's thread!:)

LEEM I lOVE YOU and the plants (even if they are not yours.) ahahahah
LEEM LOVE
LOVE LEEM

the picture makes them out to look like ghost images.... very artistic..
you can post pics on any thread that I start... : )



love leem

hey leem.. i was looking at the second set of ghost plants you posted...

I believe the temp in the room is to HIGH...
true? Leaves are pointing up... very good indication that temp is to high..

I was unawre that even GHOST plants can be affected by heat... hmmmmm?


love
GK -

UPDATE of plants I saw growing at local "7 Eleven"...

DAY 19

6 inches tall

13 inches across (WOW)

7 nodes (WOW)

newest leaves have 9 pedals
(yeah HARDON 9 pedals- eat your freaking heart out)



AND QUIT STARING AT THE HAND

Watered 3 times....
no fert
MG soil
tap water 8.0 PH

and a DOSE of LOVE...


its that EASY!!!!!!!!!!!

Those are some killer looking plants for a floro grow....it kicks ass.
It looks like it was grown under a MH...and how are you making that MG work(miricle grow)?

Hey gK, question:::
How do you manage the airflow between CFLs and the plants?

Do you have a fan blowing on them? A/C room?

Hi gents...

This is an experiment.... simplicty is the GOAL

MG soil, never adjust the ph of the water
no fan, just going bare minimum to show it can be done...

BUT - PHing water and fans are highly suggested for anybody who wishes to grow succesfully..





unless your name is GARDEN KNOWM!!!!!!!!

love

Aiiiight... well dude, then what's your ambient temperature?

I mean, if I placed CFLs as close as that to my plants, without a fan, I'll scorch them!

BTW: Did you see my clones?!! :D

Some of the CFL's are less than 1/2 imch from the leaves.. NO burning
Closed closet temp is 73 degrees...

These rust brown areas look like a "K" deficiency on the Blue Spot (plant started from clone). (not the plant in picture above)

This deficiency is probably directly related to the 8.0 PH water this plant has been receiving

If you look at the chart you can see that the plant has trouble up taking Phosphorous (k) when the PH is above 7.5

Hopefully this problem can be fixed by flushing with water PHed at 6.0

love

imo,pics look like ph and or watering problem.u saturated the gallon pot for that small transplant,i uslly giv it he sam amnt of water it was geting in the previos pot for irst 2 waterings,but on third watering i flood,dependin how big of pot im moving from and plant size too,to the next size pot.sounds lik to much water on transplant on ur first few waterings or so.or if floodin on first watering works for u ,then it cud be that,at that size of plant does not wanted to flooded any mor after that util it gets biger,and that it needs less after water ,after the intial flood.people transplant diff. and water diff.2sernarios on water basics on transplant.

Knowm, could you give an update + pics?

I'm also using MG too, and I'm just curious how your doin.

Oh, and you ARE female, right? Turtle, somehow, thinks your a dude...

PEACE

joe.

Transplanting IS for ROOKIES!!!!!!! END of STORY
LOVE

PLANTS are freaking incredible
Experimenting with 8.0 water was STOPPED (LOL). Watering took place about once a week with 6.8 PH water and 7 drops of schultz African Violet 8-14-9 fert... This is about 1/3 the recomended amount.. considering how much water was used...

Plants were flooded and then allowed to dry.. and then flooded again...

Blue Dots are in 1/2 gallon pots and Mango is in 2 gallon pot(?).
No signs of being root bound...

I will post pics late tonight..

love

Hey gK!

Yeah man,,,... I'd love to see how your CFLed plants are growing... I really liked them... pics, please... ;)

You didn't accidentally kill them, did you? lol ! I know you didn't dude...

SmoknJoe,
Garden Knowm is a dude... male... penis... pipi... cock... Kack...

I'm not 100% sure, but if Garden is a female.... shit man... shit Garden.. I appologize for all the stuff I've said. I couldn't talk to a woman like that.

You're a man... you have to be a man... c'mon man... we need proof... pics... ok, no... we'll take your word for it.

Here are some pictures of the Mango that was flowered when it was 15 days old from seed and only 5 inches tall.... (you can see a picture of it at 19 days old if you scroll up)

It is NOW 21 inchs tall...

It did not want to flower... Since it was flowered (so very young)with only 4 nodes (none of them were alternating) and 4 inches tall, this plant took nearly 3 weeks to show sex!

It will probably be ready for harvest in 20-30 days. This is a perfectly healthy normal plant. The yellowing is perfect for this stage in its life with the lighting it has...

This is a blue dot
that is growing right next to the mango....

It was started from clone....


These plants took VERY VERY little effort to grow... water once a week...
at most.. The Blue Dot was grown in a 1/2 gallon pot....

More pictures to coome!!!!!


LOVE

Send me some LOVE

Ahhh.. Nice man!:)

I'll also test this crop!:)

the pictures show the day was taken they are 28 days old now , in soil mix ,with miracle grow fert.
