House plants

Ok this is a little side project to my out door crop.
This is the first time I have tried this way of growing.
I have two plants a week into life I set them on the east
side of my house at window level in mornings or before
I go to bed and on a west facing window in the afternoon.

They seem to be doing grate for a week this is how i started
all my plants that went outside and i just got to thinking
a couple of weeks ago "why not." I plan on trying this out
till harvest on these two little plants and see what comes
of it.

I will try and keep you posted on the plants progression.

My plants outside are doing grate by the way if i had a digi
cam i would post some pics but i don't, if i cannot get pics of
my plants outside before harvest I will post pics of the harvest.

good luck...make sure they are concealed from animals.watch for insects...

...and WHAT the fuck is that on your avatar???....jesus christ....

worrie this isnt my first grow.

And that's me as a baby, aint I cute?

are those cups clear?

don't use clear cups.. light will mix with your moist/soil and things will grow in your container.. next thng you know, you r plants will look like you as a baby..

No, the cups are not clear. I know not to plant anything
in clear containers. I will put them in better
planters when they become root bound.

Hi Knowm!

I know the rule about clear containers but I have actually chosen to go with them for seelding only for this reason:

Being able to see the soil makes it easier for me to judge water use by the plants. If a plant isn't using water as fast as the others, I assume it's not developing roots, and if the difference is very great, I cull it as a runt. Root growth is my main goal in early development.

I try to give seedlings only as much water as they can use in half a day, and water them only when they are DRY but before they show stress to avoid fungus.

The visiblity also allows me to see when the first roots hit the sides of the container, and when it is time to transplant.

Keeping the medium fairly dry has improved my seedling survival rate drastically. I haven't seen pythium in a long time.

I understand about the concerns with 'light poisoning' of the roots, and the possibility of algae growing. Haven't seen algae, it's really too dry.

Works for me anyway.

A few days later......LOL a bit of stretching is happening im about
to set em outside all this rotating of the containers is getting
on my nerves.

they'll stretch too tall then fall over.

They are outside now they just didn't get the
direct sunlight like they need. Even with a white
backing behind them they still didn't get the lighting
they needed. Plus moving them to the windows that
the sunlight was beaming on at the time was just
irritating. When I started this i did not expect a
miraculous yield from either plant. They are outside
with their buddies now, I think the other plants are
making fun of them for being so lanky and short....LOL
