mrs.babba's baby Bogglegums

[Mrs.Babba]

here is the start of our bogglegum grow, we have started 3 seeds like we did with the bogbubble, we soaked them for 24 hours before we sprouted them, put them right in dirt and in less then a day they were poking their heads out. After about 36 hours and the shell hadnt come off yet we did a little emergnecy surgery and extracted the cover, one died on the table,bummer soaked and replanted. It sprouted over night and still had the shell stuck on it again, brought it into operating room and dr. babba's skilled hands gently set our young sprout free. It is in recovery doing nicely. We had to do surgery on the other 2 tonight, both of their covers stuck to the sprout, it went well but it was touch and go there for a sec you cant see them very well in the pictures, still a bit small, but we couldnt wait to show them off, we are so proud of them waiting for the 2 babies to spread their leaves and grow, grow, grow! I'll update soon, they seem to grow very fast. Thank You and Love each other The Babba's

Hi Mrs. Babba

Hi Mrs. Babba

Sorry to hear about your loss on the surgery table. I've had this happen numerous times, and have had to perform surgery as well. It's always a scary procedure, but with practice becomes easier. Most often it doesn't hurt the seedling if the shell is on for a couple days. surgery at 36 hours may have been a bit premature, but I wasn't there for the diagnosis. Usually they will work it off themselves after the seed casing has dried a bit further, but a little helping hand at times is needed. When you do have to perform surgery you may notice instances where a thin plant layer (not sure what it's called) will hold the cotyledons together and prevent them from opening up. I have lost some because of this, and what I've learned is that a delicate hand with a razor can cut this layer and allow the cotyledons to be able to spread. Sometimes with a soft pinch to the front of the cotyledons you can pull the plant layer off as well, but be careful. Good luck on the rest of the grow.

my babies arnt dong very good

my babies arnt dong very good

its about day 20 for my babies and they dont seem to be doing all that well they are still really little and dont seem to be growing very fast, not like the bogbubble. I dont know what im doing wrong,I'm treating them the same way we have with the others?! so I will just keep watching them and giving the love and hope they come out of this slump. We started 2 more seeds, thinking that in case these dont not make it, we'll have back up. anyone have any suggestions or clues to what im doing wrong, i would love the help. thanks for all your support mrs. b

I find that if all else fails i repot then, flush then leave for a few days.
How much light you got on them? soil looks very dark, is the pot overwatered? sometimes that can slow down growth too.

 

[HumboldtHigh]

Hey Mrs.B Sorry to hear about your troubles Just wondering...do you have a small fan on them at all? We have the BG and BB going right now and I had noticed they seem to like the fan a lot!! I also started them in smaller containers, I think this helped the roots get a head start and then the good veg set was on. Can you get Maxsea where your at? Good stuff made locally and the babies love it!!! I hope you get it figured out I hate losen those little treasures Take it easy.....

Is the Soil too Acidic (hot). Or maybe too comacted. Check the PH of the Soil.

Overwatering???

Overwatering???

I used to have a bad habbit of overwatering and maybe that could be all thats wrong. Could also be called "over mothering" I'm sure they will be fine, they are in good hands.

 

[Guest]

Is it time for an update yet??

Is it time for an update yet??

Waiting patiently.

 

[kilacaLIbud]

well i re-potted my babies and it seems to have helped a little[thanks leeroy], and thanks to everyone who offered some advice, its great to get so much feedback, it gave me alot to think about what i was doing wrong and needed to change. there is some new growth on them so i think they are getting over this hump im trying not to over water them also. the 2 beans we popped the other day are real nice lookin, very green and healthy so thats a good thing, if nothin else i think they will grow if i lose the other ones. sorry i havent posted much but these little ones were not changing much so i didnt want to take any pictures, but i hope that they have "turned the corner" hehehe....peace all mrs.b

 

[cough_cough_eer]
