3rd time growing - wish it grows better than the first two. Haha
Warning -- long post!
I have learned so much from my two dead plants experience. It frustrates me that they didn't even reach the vegetation stage but ofc thankful that I learned from them. Sorry babies.
So again, I have soaked the seeds in 250ml water with 1tsp hydrogen peroxide ( this hydrogen peroxide thing never fails me. The shells are soften faster than just regular water). Then I moved them in the paper towel. I used the water where I soaked them to wet the tissue (coz the water w/hydrogen peroxide thing. Hehe).
After 12 hrs in the paper towel, they sprouted really fast. So I have moved them to the growing medium. I use soil this time. Soil mixed is with vermicast, pumice and rice hull.
Just to share with you guys, I have learned (I hope I'm correct) that the main reason why baby plants are keep damping off is because of the humidity level in my place. I am from a tropical country and I live near the sea so the normal humidity level is about 75-85%. I have invested for the better dehumidifier this time.
Okay, back to my current growing information haha.
First day after the seeds sprouted from the soil, I have noticed that the other one seedling is kinda damping off or has a different color in the stem. I was worried that maybe I should move out so it won't contaminated the other one, But I realized that maybe it is because of the humidity so I lower the humidity level to 70% to 60%. Just to relieve myself from worrying that other one won't contaminated, I sprayed small ammount of water with hydrogen peroxide (250ml:1tsp) to the soil around the seedling. I know I am crazy but maaaaan you can't blame me! Haha
Next day, they looked healthy! The one that looks like dumping off is now standing by heyself. Proud mom here! 💖
I have a great feeling that I will make it far this time.
I just wanna send my gratitude to all the helpful advices from you guys and especially to @Robets. You guys are the best!
hey there my friend! good luck with your grow :) regarding young seedlings, they don't need that much water, they have so few and weak roots that water will sufocate them. Use a spoon or a seringe to give her just enought water. All they need for their frist weeks of life is inside the shell :) nature is amazing! I will be checking you out and having my fingers crossed for you.
Hello and Happy growing.
To avoid massive streching I would lower the Lights and If you transplant them into another pot plant them deeper almost to her first leaves :)
Have fun! 🍀
Hey Lacey!
Good to see that your plants are growing well!
Like Foxylove420 said, i think it is time to transplant.. if you transplant until the end of this week and you are using fresh soil when transplanting you wont need to give the plants any nutes yet, if you have some on hand you could mix in a root stimulator, following the dosage on the label, that would definitely give the plants a little boost and a better start in their new Pot's.
That's what i would do..
But you definitely have to get the nuts in the next days as sooner or later the plants will start to ask for them by getting lighter in colour and yellowing, like you have mentioned.
The plants are still little but they most likely have used up the nutrients that were in the soil of your little growbags.
The yellowing is a sign that they want more N (Nitrogen)
Have you already got some nutrients? It should be easy to find the nutrient schedual if you know the brand..
Oh, and the best time to feed (water) would be soon after your lights turn on.
Good luck 🍀 wit your babies!
They are still gonna grow for sure! We can encourage more vigorous growth if you are able to warm the room up a bit! Try to get up to around 80 degrees & 75% humidity, Place a 5 gallon bucket full of water in the tent and it will passively raise the humidity up it takes a while but it works and is a good work around if you do not have an actual humidifier. Also you could get SUNGRIP light pulleys so you can move the lights closer to the plants by a bit and get more PAR onto them. The more light intensity they have delivered to them safely the more they can photosynthesize and the more they can then grow.
@GrowerLacey, No problem Lacy I am so glad to see you getting some plant growth going every step of progress is a small victory! You should really check out our youtube channel and our tutorial series I think you would really benefit from it. It's for all levels of growers to utilize, I would really appreciate your feedback to better shape the next installment after this first series is completed!
Our youtube, Is linked off of our growdiaries main profile. I look forward to seeing you over there
Looking much better this time! I agree with all the wonderful tips on here to get ready to transplant into a bigger pot & then we can think about giving them some food at a nice low level to get them started. Look up sungrip light pulleys. They are cheap & very effective at raising & lowering your lights to the desired distances!
