First Time (More or less...)

[krums1000]

Been trolling around a while and figured it was my turn. Startin up what should be a decent grow dependin' on whether or not I can get someone to babysit while I'm out of town in a few weeks.

Anyhow started with bag seed (Pretty small seeds if that makes any difference or indicates sativa vs. indica). Using an LED UFO, miracle grow soil.

The two that are opened up with a couple of leaves are around a week old - have no idea where the random sprout off to the side came from.

I only intended there to be one in the pot; the smaller one and the new sprout must've been seeds that I thought weren't gonna sprout after my last lil one died (had two or three seeds in the time and only one sprouted - ended up under-watering bc this miracle grow soil always looks soaking wet on the surface and it died). Anyhow - I'll let em grow up a bit and keep the gals.

Stay tuned and enjoy (Pics to follow once I figure the attaching out)

There we go (with and without their pink light bath):

Plants are coming along nicely, no major change really; added a bit of soil because the level was low and I was worried about it getting root bound esp with two in the pot.. (I think I read from a post by stinky that cannabis plants will gain new roots from the stem if they're covered up, anyone confirm/deny that?)

Also another newbie question or two: The soil has some slow-release nutes in it, should that be enough or will I be better off buyin more? And is the molasses trick just for during flowering or all along? Thanks!

Edit: Also ordered a new digi cam a few days ago so future pictures should be better, 10.2 MP up from 3.1, technology obsolescene comes sooo fast :P.

Separated the plants from each other leaving the oldest in the largest pot I have, just avoiding the disaster of doing it when they're older and risking losing all three. Random seeds sprouting out still threw me for a loop didn't inted to have more than one plant...

Think the middle child will probably die because the roots were in much deeper than I hope and s(he) was pretty hard to get out and is already wilting a little, we'll see. She's in a bonsai pot for now and if she lives I'll get her a new home before long.

The lil sprout that i expected to die and wasn't pictured yet looks like it might be a diff strain from the other 2 (still tiny but a much deeper green) and was put into a cup for now; I'll keep an eye on 'em all and keep ya posted.

Decent number of views but no replies = sadface. (Posting pics of all three in a sec).

Didn't want to let me edit the last post so one more for today; before and after transplant pics in my album.

Yeah I wouldn't give additional nutrients to your plants for probably a month.

I had a 3.1mp cam about 3 yrs ago($80), then the next year I got a 10mp($150), and last year I got a 12mp HD($170)...gadgets like that get outdated quickly!

Good to know, thanks!

Looks like your off to a good start. :thumbsup:

Good that you separated them when you did...the root system spreads quickly, the best time to separate them is when they are only 1 or 2 days old. Far less shock to the plant.

I'm far from an expert, but my limited experience with the MG suggests you'll be all set (nute-wise) for a month or so. Feeding is really hit-or-miss, even more so with an unknown bag-seed. A lot depends on the plant, some will devour all you can give 'em, another may just choke on it. :wtf:

I use the molasses for trace nutrients through the whole grow, only because I'm using distilled water, though.

Good luck with this, seen some real nice results from those LED lamps! :thumbsup:

Yeah, I didn't expect the other 2 to join the party like I said haha. Atm looks like neither of the two I transplanted will make it, roots were deeper than I anticipated (almost entirely in a straight line) and I probably did a bit too much damage gettin em out, but we'll see, the oldest ones still looking great though so let's hope she's female.

And yeah was random bag seed but couldn't resist saving the dankness .

Thanks for stoppin in, and I'll look into gettin some molasses asap .

[frostedwonder]

hey, nice start so far. About the molasses, from what I have read/done is to use on the plain water feeding opposite nutes. Some have sulfur don't use that one, and stop before flower is what i do. others will chime in or do a search..
