Need help with seedlings any advice?

[MiamigroX]

Hi all this is my 1st time growing. Ive been researching how to take care of these plants but there is still room for trial and error. I started out my seeds on the MG organic mix. Which was a horrible idea based on other people's advice. I want to save these seedlings however i need advice on what Im going to do to save them. These seedlings are exactly 10 days old. Im thinking bout buying Fox Farm ocean this friday. I just dont know if the FF soil will finish killing the seedlings or if its a good idea in the first place. Any advice will be greatly appreciated thanks here are a few pics.. :rastasmoke:

i don't think i'd put so many seed in one container next .Try one per container

Call me old fashioned, but why don't you just transplant them into some good black dirt? If what you plant them in kills them, then you shouldn't use it.

That's how I see it.

Both MG and FF are a bit "HOT" for seedlings,.... that being said I'm doing my first run of seedlings in years,.... 2 are in MG, 1 is in Fox Farm Ocean Forest, and 3 others are in Roots Organic Seed starter blend.

The Seed starter blend is too fucking heavy and dense, The nute charge is low which is good for not burning seedlings. However MJ's a tough girl and I'm not impressed with what I'm seeing. IF I use it again I'm going to cut it 30% FFOF and probably 30% Coco.

My MG plants are growing well,... but the fuckin soil had bugs in it! so now I'm fighting thrips in my Vege room! :chainsaw:

My FFOF plant is probably the gem of the bunch,.... 2nd set of serrated leaves and I had 4 leaflets!!!! It's only now growing in it's 3rd set of leaves and it's already jumped to 7 leaflets! :jointsmile:



Long and short of it, ITS A FUCKING WEED!

Your Mileage may vary, but if you have about the right environment it's going to grow.








PS, It's been said already, but try just one seed per container next time! :thumbsup:

thx guys for the advice. So then i can move them into the new fox farm ocean soil without them dying on me?

Looking at your pics,... yes and no.


Can you up pot from MG to FFOF? sure! but can you uproot seedlings in the current state shown in the pics above and expect them to survive? Unlikely, but I don't think unheard of.



Good luck, and Happy growing! :jointsmile:

[mikeyman]

yea when you have one seed per container its easier to transplant without shock

[MiamigroX]

Alright hopefully im lucky and they will survive. One last question should I take them out individually with a spoon?

[polishpollack]

Spoon them if you want. It should work. but quickly so they don't get much bigger. Check for the NPK ratio on your soils and ferts. that's the three number that usually look like 6-4-2 or 16-16-16. Miracle grow soil might be pretty hot, the higher the numbers the more ferts the stuff has. Miracle grow 6 month soil is in the 20's. hot stuff. Black Gold is pretty good. Ask at a nursery what to use for little ones. they'll be happy to show you what to get.
