Opie Yutts I need your help friend
Opie, You're the man, or woman..
Man, or little boy in a mans body.
lol Seriously though, thanks so much..
Again, your welcome.
I soaked the rockwool in some PH balanced water, only for 30 minutes tho...squeezed and resoaked a few times..(distilled water tested right at 6.0) put hte germed seeds in RW and put under some light in the system...
That will probably be OK. (fingers crossed)
Almost immediately one of hte four ladies came out to play..now a few days later and all four have leaves...2 look very strong and are about an inch tall and the other two haven't done much since showing there leaves..maybe light on the roots??
It is normal for some to look like they are left behind for a few days at the beginning. They will most likely catch up to the others, or at least end up being a decent plant.
I konw i messed that part up but as of now 2 look alright as i said..i just put the hydroton grow rocks in the pots..a layer underneath the RW and filled the rest to the top...I'm using 3" pots for now..
Sounds fine.
1) About how long till i move them to bigger pots and the different system?
So I guess those photos are of your rooting system, then you have another system that you are going to put them in? That might be a good idea, since once you get all 4 spaces taken up with big plants, there is going to be a tangled root mass underneath, and the sprayer wonâ??t really be doing its job properly. I suspect they would do fine that way, and your roots would get plenty of moisture, but it will end up being more of a DWC system. As long as you have something to tie the plants to, or some way to support them, you don't really need to put them into bigger pots. You could though, and if you do, I would just set the whole 3" pot into a 6" pot. I would probably do this just as the roots start coming out of the 3" pots, or a couple days later. The bigger pot you use, the less you will need to support the plant as it grows, because in bigger pots the roots have a good hold and are able to support the plant. I recommend just starting in a 6" pot if at all possible. The less transplanting you do, the less you will stress the plant. Each time you stress the plant, it's growth rate usually slows down a little for a couple days while it recovers. It depends a great deal on what variety your plants are. Some are real hardy, and some don't want to be touched. There are lots of people that just keep the plant in a 3" net pot for the whole grow, and support the plant as needed.
2) When should i go to 18/6 light schedule? I'm trying to get these answers from researching but to be honest sometimes the more i read the more confused i get..lol
There is a lot of different answers to this one, but I firmly believe that plants grow better with a little rest at night. As soon as I take them out of the cloner and put them into my system I go to 18/6. Some people will say don't ever change from 24/0 to 18/6, but I strongly disagree. If you haven't read that link I posted about why plants need rest, be sure to do so. I have read a lot of stuff indicating that plants take in what they need during the day, and process that stuff at night.
I was planning on going to 18/6 light schedule maybe sometime in the next couple of days..That will be a week of 24/7..tell me what ya think...
I think that will be fine.
-Like you said i'm pretty much experimenting as i'm sure my first grow won't be a HUGE success.
You never know, it might be a huge success compared to what you are used to. If any of your plants grow and get some smokable buds, consider your first try a huge success. For your first grow itâ??s all about the knowledge you gain, figuring out how to remedy any problems that arise, enjoying your hobby, and as a bonus to all that you might even end up with some nice smokable buds.
