This is my very first attempt at growing. Any help is much appreciated. I've been trying to read as much as I can, however, there is a lot of conflicting info on the net.
I started germination of this seed on 09/21/18. I started germination in a glass of water and seed opened within 12 hours.
After 24 hours I moved the seed into a 3 gallon fabric pot filled with a mix of 6 parts potting soil, 1 part perolite, and 2 parts vermiculite.
The plant broke through the surface 2 days later on 09/24/18. I did not start LED lighting until day 6. Lighting was one of the topics that had conflicting information. Some said no light until week 2, some said light as soon as plant breaks surface, As for light height, I currently have the 300watt LED at a height of 34 inches and will be lowering it little by little.
Week 1 update:
I added some soil to this pot so the plant is not so tall any longer. I believe she was planted a little too close to the top. All the growth seen in the first picture happened in a dark tent, no light at all. She was over 2 3/4" tall. Now at 1 3/4" above soil.
LED is now at 28 inches from plants, the MARS hydro recommend height for seedlings.
Your Girl stretches very much. In know your conflict concerning the Light.. ive bought an easy 26 watt Led vegetation lamp for my seedlings . so they can be very near to the light and dont stretch to much you can look at my " cookies for me" diary.....
And the soil looks very wet to me.. your girl needs maybe 2-4 cl (20-40 ml) per day/ per 2 days.The kind of soil youve choosen ( r mixed)looks very good to me and its great that she is still in her final pot
Believe it or not, this growth all took place in a dark tent. No light what so ever. Under the light which is now 24" above the plants, she seems to have stabilized. I think the dirt looks dark not because it was too wet but because I didn't use a flash in a dark tent. This plant is right by the door and looks like there was plenty of light for a picture.Also, thanks for the info about the vegetation lamp. I'm going to look into it.Any other feedback is much appreciated.
