Blue Mystic grow log...

[tinytoon]

next grow use Rapid Rooters instead or RW, is alot more forgiving than RW is.
check in the sewing section or Walmart and see if they have that foam you are looking for.

Thanks for the info Tiny... One of the seedlings seems to just keep pushing up out of the RW instead of growing in it.... Getting a tad worried. I ripped some RW off from the side and wrapped it around the bottom of the seedling for support. Hopefully it will get a good hold inside and start growing down into it.

hey bro...don't stress this...they are coming out the right way. Sit back and watch the grass grow! :thumbsup:

Ya I need to chill out. Its just they are the first beans ive actually paid for so I want them to be as good as they can be. Just have to smoke a couple bowls and relax.

UPDATE: Well the one seedling that I had to help out of the shell is not looking so good.
It hasnt grown at all in the past days and the round leaves are starting to yellow and zero root growth. The other one though is reaching for the sky! So I guess I will only have one Blue Mystic and the bagseed growing. I dont want to have to pop another bean and try again. Need to get this train movin!

Getthis...when the bean is sticking to the leaf...leave it be. It will eventually fall off when the first leaves die off. I have fallen victim to "helping" the seed out...and it lead to disaster for that seedling.

Good luck...cant wait to see more pictures as this log progresses.

I've always found it good to "help out" if it's being stubborn for over a day. Otherwise it will stunt the growth and never catch up with the rest of them.

here's a simple one, who helps take off that stubborn husk out in nature?

NOBODY!!!!

Leave it be and let nature do it's thing. we supply nutes, water, O2, light and alot of tlc but some things that got to do on their own :jointsmile:

that stubborn husk causes death in nature. I see nothing wrong with helping a poor bean out if it's having trouble. I had two beans do this to me, the first I let go too long and it ended up deforming the first leave pretty badly. The second husk was firmly wrapped around my second plant so I slit it open and out popped a full leave all crinkled up inside like a party favor or something. I was really shocked as I am certain the plant would have died without my help. I bet most people help their beans when they start to struggle like that.

I too lost a bean from not helping it. I understand the whole nature thing and what not but nature doesnt pay its hard earned money for beans lol.
Maybe after I breed and have a ton of quality beans then I would be more inclined to risk them.

Anyways... I had taproots showing out of the RW this morning so she was inserted into her new 5gallon home. Also transplanted the unknown sex bagseed into a bigger pot after it was showing signs of being rootbound. When I pulled the mass out of the small pot it was almost a solid white root mass. I kept it in there as long as I could to slow its growth. Trying to give the hydro girl time to catch up.

I just hope the LED isnt too strong of red for the little ones... Ive read posts with people saying their seedling just keeled over after being introduced to the heavy red LEDs. It does have a bunch of blue LEDs on it as well so hopefully they do fine. I usually let my plants veg in a box with CFLs until 8"-10" then I send them into the tent with the LED.

Im trying 3" net pots instead of the 2" im used to so I couldnt let them veg in my mini hydro setup that fits in my veg box. I didnt want to resize the holes to 3" just yet... Hope it doesnt bite me in the ass later.
