First CFL grow...pics inside, advise please

[vapeman420]

ok guys. day 5 and my babies have already made so much improvement.

I decided to just remove the one that was looking really bad because I only intend on growing one or two plants after I sex them anyways and it was using light that could be focused on the better plants.

For the most part all of my plants have started growing their 2nd set of leaves and are showing no signs of weakness.

Even though the temp. is staying around 80 they seem to be doing fine. My RH has been down to around 37% for the past couple of days and I cant seem to get it up since im leaving the cabinet open and my closet is fairly large.

Thanks for all the help Vangoh. It is much appreciated!!! Ill post some pics whenever there is a significant difference since I have to use my webcam and you cant see detail. Take care

ok guys. Day 9 since sprout and Im down to three plants. 2 of them were growing very slowly and the leaves began to shrivel so i decided to uproot them and see how the roots looked because my humidity is kind of low(+/- 34%).

The roots on the plants seemed to be doing well so I guess it was nute burn or something from my soil?

2 out of the 3 are doing very well, the best being the first plant pictured and the worst is the last pictured. It is kind of hard to see whats going on with the 3rd plant bc im using my webcam but the leaves are 1st set of leaves are curling under and its not growing nearly as fast as the other two.

When do you think I should repot them and how big should the next pots be? The plant in the 1st picture is getting pretty big, the overhead picture doesnt do it much justice.

Thanks guys!

hey vape,

Good to see your check back often. Lets get right down to the heart of this beast.

ABOUT TRANSPLANTING

-You want to transplant when your plant has outgrown the pot it is growing in.
(So you ask: When has it out grown the pot??)

Answer: When the white roots have reached the bottom of the pot and have filled out the growing medium. The first transplant will probably happen with in the first two week from first set of true leaves.
----------------

TIME FOR TRANSPLANT

When you are ready for transplant follow these guidelines:

Gather these items:
1) Grow medium (soil/ peat/ etc.)
2) Pearlite
3) H2O
4) Measuring cup
5) Soil additives (Bloodmeal [N], Worm Casings, etc.] {this is your call}
6) Gloves
7) Larger pots (at least double the size of the first pot)


-If your plants have a significant root ball and ready to transplant you want to let them dry out a bit. To the point where the plant will need to be watered. Doing this will allow the soil and root ball to stick together, making transplanting less shocking to the plant.

++Be sure the bottom of your new pots have enough drainage holes for water runoff.++

THE PROCESS:
(It is best to transplant at the beginning of the light cycle)

-Take your mixed medium of soil/additives/pearlite and fill bottom of new pot about 1/3 of the way.

-Place same size container into new pot, back fill around with medium.
-Remove cup/container.
-Remove plant from old cup/container/pot and place into hole of new pot.
-Back fill around the transplant.
-Fill soil one inch from the rim of the pot.!!!!!
-Feel the weight of the pot, this is what it feels like when it is completely dry.
-Water generously! Till some water drains out the bottom.
-Feel weight again, this is what the pot feels like completely watered.
-Adjust light height. Place back into growing area.

Happy growing!
