[Weed4Life]

Great start so far. Keep up the good work and that bud in the bong is making me fien, so stop it. lol I am currently on day 22 and I am using a 400w hps and I am growing Papaya and Bubblicious.

[babystarbud]

thanks for that, and good luck with yours...theres somthing about the word papaya....it just sounds really nice

[chicago_white_guy]

OH NO!
the reason your seedlings are going so slow is cause they know what you're going to do with them! looks great, though! i have 4 seedlings myself and i'm about a week or so behind ya! the "day 1" thread is mine for the first week, then we'll see which way it turns... KEEP IT UP

[babystarbud]

probably, lol, the poor little things.
thanks for the comments, i will look in on your grow...theres a few going on at the mo, its hard to keep track of who;s doing what!

here a quick update, nothing much to tell, so ill just post a few pics..

Hi babystarbud,

I am currently growing the exact same strain as you are. Mine a little older and had a hard time, a friend of mine started the seeds on his window a few weeks back.

Using the same compost as you too, trouble is mine are gowing yellow Starting to think he over watered them, or they could be lacking N.

Hope yours turn out alright, I'll be watching this to try an compare mine...never done this before!

hey lookin good. im still waitin for my 10 dutch passions to arrive, and my flour and 1000 watt hps...for now i decided to start germinating 4 bc strains i had from qp of bud my friend harvested, decent seeds. first time germninating, just wondering did you just put them between a damp paper towel and cover, leaving on a warm object? i have mine sitting between damp paper towel, on a plate with one on top sitting on modem which stays nice and warm. just hoping these sprout nicely and give me a lil practice for the nice dutch passions coming. good luck

[babystarbud]

thats interesting to see event horizon, i hope its not the soil thats yellowing them!! thinking about it i should have probably got the no.1 compost, which is more for seeds...rather that the no.2 which is for re-potting.

what lights ferts etc. have you/plan to use....id like to know how you get on.

smokin dope, i put them on about 5 layers, with about 5 layers covering. kept in a dark cupboard thats slightly above room temp.

I've got them under a 400 Watt Sylvania Grolux Dual Spectrum Lamp in a 1x1x1.8 BudBox.

As for ferts, I have no idea yet. Starting to think they are lacking Nitrogen rather than being overwatered, I got myself one of those moister probes and only water them when they are dry.

I have head that tomato food works well....not watered them today, hope they are ok when I get back home!

Mind you, at the moment they are drinking water from my mates water butt...good old fasioned English rain water.

I'll take some more pic tonight and post them up...almost up to 6" now, but too damn yellow

Hello Eventhorizon
Have you checked the PH of the water?that could be given you the yellow leafs.dont use that tomate food it dosent have all the micros& trace elements a good 3 part nurts feeding formula dose.You may have too get some cal-mag plus for the water.Test the TDS ppm and the PH so you know
what kind of water you are useing.Let me know how thinks are doing.

[EventHorizon]

Erm???

crazywill, thanks for the info....but I have to admit I am a little confused.

Testing the PH, easy. Not got the stuff to do it at the moment, but should not be too hard. What PH should I be aiming for?

micros& trace elements

Eh?

3 part nurts feeding formula

Any suggestions?

cal-mag plus

You really have lost me now

Test the TDS ppm

ppm = Parts Per Million. TDS? And how do I test?

Ok, I probably seem really stupid now....but I am very very new at this. Is there a dummies guide anybody can point me at?
