Sardonic's First Grow

[Sardonic]

let's hope!

I really didn't mean to hurt the plant, I'd just totally forgotten it was inside the computer when i was punching it
I felt so bad afterwards; I killed my little buddy!!

new buds ^_^

 

[Sardonic]

well guys, here's my problem. the temp in the garage is about 85 degrees, 90 when the dryer is running.

there is a wall seperating my garage in to two sections, one is 1/3rd the size of the other section, and that's where i'll be growing.
anyway, that section only has one window, and to leave it open would be a security risk. Does anyone have any suggestions on cooling the place down?

Hey man, get yourself a cheap AC unit at a garage sale. Hope everything works for you and you get your grow up and going.

B/R

 

[Sardonic]

good idea. I'll check craigslist for some good deals. ug, but this means i can't start these plants on 12/12 :\. i'll have to wait until my next paycheck ~_~

[Sardonic]

whats with the straws?

 

[Sardonic]

they're just for markings. they're insignificant

 

[Sardonic]

I have a question for anyone willing to help ^_^

I'm curious as to how I should go about transplanting the little ones from those tiny little containers. Any ideas?

 

[Dr Dog]

are you planning on doing that soon, I would not recommend it, way too early yet, you have to wait till there are lots of roots, almost so it is getting root bound, that way it stay together when you take it out of that pot, the last thing you want to do, is take it out too early, all the soil falls off

 

[Sardonic]

oh no, I definitely wasn't planning on transplanting soon, thanks for the concern though

I believe I read I should wait until the 2-3rd week. I'm just wondering when that time comes, how should I go about removing them from their individual containers.

I'll be using plastic cups next time so this shouldn't be a problem again

 

[Dr Dog]

When I do the small seedling trays I will just pull them out gently, while I have the tray upside down, cupping the plants gently in you r hand, I have also used a butter knife to pry them out

 

[Sardonic]

thanks Dr Dog

updates ^_^

 

[Dr Dog]

They are about in teh same spot my seedlings are right now, I would wait till about 2 more sets of leaves show up, then they may be ready to be moved

 

[Sardonic]

Well, I see another seedling trying to sprout. It seems like it's hunched over, as if it's head and roots were in the grown, and I could see it's arched back. (my camera is charging or i'd take pics). Anyway, I was wondering if I'd be doing harm if I try to help the little bugger get free; what do you think?

 

[Guest]

it will find its way out of the soil, its called the phototropic response, and they are also aware of which way is down because they can sense gravity

 

[Sardonic]

ah, alright, thanks rkrone.

one more question, when I transplant all the little ones, do they need to go in to the same soil they've been growing in or can I put them in a new soil (I bought some FFOF the other day)?

 

[Guest]

better soil = better growth, so i would say into the FFOF.

 

[Dr Dog]

Yeah that would make sense, but let your soil nearly dry out before feeding them in their new homes, that forces the roots to stretch out in search of food. Bigger roots= bigger buds.
