Alright, I'm gettin a grow cab put together, hopefully tomorrow. But as for my seedlings, they have been planted since the 12th. 6 germed. 1 sprouted in 7 days. So, I guess this will be a learning experience with one plant. I want to make my cab efficient enough to be able to veg with my HPS and a few higher kelvin CFLs. We'll see.

Heres some current pics, hope to get the cab done tomorrow.

(I think thats heat burn)

Ill get more pics and an update when the cab starts coming along.

Should I give up on the other 5 seedlings? Being as at day 7 they arent uh.. here?

Hey, Buckshot. Congrats on the seedling! :yay:

Couple things:

Soil looks a BIT dry. How often & how much have you been watering?

Those others might pop up with a little more moisture.

Did you germinate your seeds before you planted them (i.e. the paper towel method or something)?

Do you have a MACRO button on your camera? It is the button with the little flower on it. It might be in your settings. It will help you get MUCH better quality close-ups.

Otherwise, good luck on your grow!

That last pic reminds me of this one....hehe (I'm thinking of using it as my new avatar)

need to know some background... how are you germing? after we know that, we can better guide you on your way...

i've had seeds in a plate for 3 weeks b4 they popped (left only by accident, mind you) so, i wouldn't give up yet...

I cant give you an exact figure on HOW MUCH water I used, but I gave them enough to make the soil moist. I used a toothpick stuck about half way down if it was dry I watered.

I germed them just in a cup of water, all 6 had popped before I put them in soil.

I have a macro button on the other cam, Ill use it next time.

I cant find nutes locally anywhere, nore could I find foxfarms. I need some nutes. (Not yet, but I will).

Kp: I answered ur question above...

Thanks guys,

Well, sounds to me like they dried out. That's the only thing I could think of if you say they all popped in the cup of water. That's odd, unless you let them go too dry. Those things are very fragile, and must be kept moist, like a woman when she is amatory.

I wouldn't give up on them JUST yet. Moisten them up and say a little prayer...maybe they will change their minds. I'd say that if they don't come up in another week, with proper moisture, you need to check one and see if it is actually dead.

As far as nutes go, I'm sure someone else will be a better person to tell you where to get some. If you are no where near a good garden or hydro store, you might be stuck with making your own nute-rich soil, or growing in ...err...dare I say it...MG...!

Take currr...

I have a lowes and a home depot around, but no hydro supply, or specialty garden places. Ill get of a pic of that one plant tonight. I added a 6500k CFL last night, and growth from then to today was phenominal. I watered pretty heavily, they were definately dry...

[Buckshot]

Here she is tonight...

Edit* Wow the leaves got bigger and stuck straight at the lights.. :jointsmile:

[Buckshot]

Well none of the other ones ever ended up popping, so I guess they don't want to participate... But the one is moving right along..

Where can I find nutes locally? I didnt see any at Home Depot, Lowes, ACE, or meijer or anything....

How long till I can cut a clone to force flower? Six or seven nodes?

[Buckshot]

I bet nobody can guess what I canibalized to make this... Lol.

1.5'x1.5'x2.5' - I'm going to go to Wal Mart and get some of the 'energy/emergency blankets' to make sure my baby doesn't get uh.. well too cold I guess...

I need a few more light fixtures, I'm going to set up some fans, and then we'll have a 1 plant grow area...

Once this grow is done I'll prolly turn this little box into a veg/clone chamber, then make a big flowering box.
