i took them off, got them nice and wet and just kinda peeled them off.
i had to leave a little bit on the botton of one because a root had started growing through it.

hi peeps just a quick update, Day 25 and alls well.

the babies have taken to thier new soil well and are continuing to grow.
the only slight problem is drainage, i think ive mixed in too much vermiculite, as when i water them, i have to let them drain for a good hour till i can put em back in the room...im not sure if its worth re potting them again though as i can put up with the inconvienience....and hopfully it will improve as they grow.

also, ive lined the bottoms of the tubs with 2 layers of news paper, which isnt helping...bad idea.....should have used paper towels...but hey. ive had to rough up and tear it a bit, and re-poke some holes through the bottom to aid drainage.
seems to be working for now

hey there babystartbud... glad to see things looking much better for you
babys are looking very good-green and happy:thumbsup: but wouldnt it be a better idea to water the babys in your grow room and place them in a dish or bigger pot with no holes so the runoff would run out of your pots and straight into the dish/bucket.. then after x amout of time and all runoff has came out.. simply pick up the plant pot and tip away the runoff.. so you dont have to water outside your grow room.. as that sounds like a bit of a pain.. anyways hope you get the girls.. cant wait to see them flower

[babystarbud]

thanks for that mrberrys yeh thats an idea...will have a look for some trays next time i go past the garden shop.

on the subject of nutes...

im not planning on feeding for a good few weeks yet, but the leafs are looking kinda pale for an indica dominant strain...mrberrys bluberrys leafs lock nice and dark and waxy

ive got some bloom nutes left over from the last grow, so thats covered, but ive also purchased some other nutes for veg and was wondering what was most suitable...

first one i got was B&Q multipurpose 7-3-7

and the other is baby bio 10.6-1.9-1.4

my plan was to use the baby bio for a few feeds, then the B&Q for a couple....by which time they will be ready to flower...


opinions anyone? should i just keep it simple and stick with one or what??

[mrberrys]

hey babystarbud.. erm i used baby bio on my first grow.. i wouldnt say i noticed anything bad.. except the taste of my buds was a bit crap... i was advised to avoid baby bio like the plauge as it does no good for a cannabis plant... as for the bnq i duno about that.. but what i do know is that any ferts with blood meal bat guano shrimp meal fish.. ect is a good veg fert ... i use mother earth veg tea for veg its only like £9.50 for 1litre... its better to feed your babys something they are going to thrive on rather then somethin they wont...
pps did i mention mother earth is 100% organic.. thats the way to go .. chems fu$k off

[babystarbud]

i get what your saying about the organics, but surely nirogen is nitrogen, does it really matter weather it came from a rotting corpse or a laboratory?
its somthing thats been confusing me for a while cos chemicals just seem a more accurate way to do things...

day 28 just a quick update, getting slwly bigger...
