first grow log

[thomas2681]

So this is my first grow log . I have here five big bang 2 seeds from gorilla seed bank an one white widow an one purp plant all from gorilla seed bank I germinate for two days in a glass of water . When I seen a small piece of root on all them which was about the end of day two I put them in a paper towel till the root was a inch or so . Then I planted them in some small pots with miracle grow seed starter soil . I use bottle water cause my tap water is to high in ph its over 7.5 so with that's being said can I use pond water or water from my fish tank ?....

What's up with all the views an no advice to my questions

[Weezard]

A lot of eyes read this board, but only a few are actually registered users.
Of those, many are newbies, some are too busy, and some are google "spiders".

That, and your early questions have already been answered many times.

So, we wrote all the simple stuff down and archived it here:

Cannabis FAQs / FAQ , Recipes, Medical Marijuana

After you browse through that, the quality of your queries will attract the real growers.
And bad advice is worse than no advice.
So maybe count your blessings, yah?

To address your questions;

Leave them under the CFL for another 2 weeks or so.
Do not water them with pond water, or any nutes yet, they are too young.

Wait until the cotyledons start to brown and shrivel.
That means they are ready for a light snack, very light, about an 1/8 of full dose nutes.
Wait until they are at least as tall, and as wide as their container before even thinking about up-potting.
And basically, leave them be for a while, they look jus' fine.

Aloha,

Now go get to readin'
You'll be glad you did.

A few or like two or three of my leaf stems are turning like a lite brown or red should I start nutes now or what ? Today they are a full week above ground . So what should I do about the color change .

[Weezard]

There's more than one cause for that.

It could indicate that the PH is out of range.
Could be something in the soil. (see above)
Could be Phosphorus lockout. (see above)
Could be sunburn. (see below)

Depending on the strain, it could be inherited.

If they look otherwise healthy, I'd advise watchful waiting over "fixing".

Aloha,
Weezard

should i have moved to bigger pots or waited another week or too . i checked the roots an this is what i seen so i thought it was time. when they reach the bottom of the pot an start to make circles around the pot . I read thats how they get root bound an i didnt want that to happen to me this early in the game.Attachment 292741Attachment 292742Attachment 292743Attachment 292744
