Grow Questions

jourelemodestarted grow question 5 years ago
today I checked the soil on her, the top layer has that dry color, but underneath it has a darker color, but it doesn't feel wet. Honestly, it feels the same as when I was only giving 2-3 oz as opposed to the 2 cups yesterday. Is the soil considered moist still? vid above.

The general rule of thumb for when your watering is to stick your giner in the soil all the way to your first knuckle if it is dry you could water . If the soil is is a diffrerent colour then the top then it still has moisture it in . The idea is to have your plants go through a wet and dry phase so your roots can expand. You idealy wanna be watering ever 2-3 days . If you over water you will see signs like droopy leaves and eventually yellowing of the leaves as well if you continue to over water . If you think that over watering is an issue you are have you can have a fan circulate air under and around the pots in or to help the moisture dry up quickly . I hope this serves you well . -Happy Growing!

This is why we usually try to keep them in a seedling tray for a bit until they are shooting out roots. Too hard to measure watering amounts and they grow slow in a huge medium. Hope she pulls through it! 2 cups of water per day is way too much for a little seedling. Maybe next time keep one in a seedling tray for 2 weeks, then put into a solo cup for 1 week, then into the big girl 3-5 gallon pot.

@jourelemode, 1/10th container size for water, like every 4 or 5 days. I have been using this ratio and it's been perfect, that's why I'm recommending it.

@jourelemode, so for watering, it was past on to me by @stick. With seedlings and early vegging you want to water about 1/10th the bucket size. And later, in larger containers, with more thirsty plants you may go up to 15-20% of the container size. This only works if plants are in proper containers. Seedlings only need a very small amount if water and should be in small medium like rockwool or other types of grow plugs, then moved to bigger container (like solo cup) when they outgrow that one. It's like you don't put a baby in a regular car seat, they need a baby seat (grow plug in seedling tray), then when bigger need a toddler seat (solo cup), then when they outgrow that they get a regular car seat (which in this example is their final pot like 3-5 gallon).

@BeefWellingtons, i actually have 1 in a solo cup right now which sprouted yesterday. Decided to try this method as per your instruction last week, just to see the difference with both ways of growing. Regarding the 2 cups of water, tomorrow ill check the soils moisture and will only water as needed. 1 thing though, i see in a lot of peoples diary that they water between 0.13 to 0.26gal per plant per day...even in the early weeks. So this is not accurate? Ive been basing my watering on that and some youtube vids i watched.

If your going to put it directly into a big pot like that, I wouldn't. Get some rapid rooters and a heated seedling tray. Run them under a cfl until multiple roots pop out the bottom, then after they are a couple of inches high,put them into the big pots. It makes things a lot easier. Seedlings need to be babied more and watering has to be right on, not too much, not too little. Also big lights can be rough on little babies. Good luck with your grow!

@jourelemode, they will probably pop for you, just wanted to suggest an easier/more effective method for the future.

I think also a reason that these are smaller is partially due to a lack of early root development. Would suggest using a nutrient solution aimed at promoting root growth, and as others have said before, graduate the seedlings from smaller containers to larger once they've grown some. By filling the top of your containers with coco coir, the first couple of weeks of growth of the seedlings could be stunted as they can't immediately grow roots to the bottom of such a large container to access the rich soil there. Autoflowers are going to be less forgiving, because they're not going to fix themselves after going into flower. Good luck with the rest of your grow 😊

There is no point to do a public web diary when a lot of info are missing and you can't even upload some decent photos without the leds on. Good luck anyway!

lowered my light from 18inch to 12inch today. was just looking at the specs on my light and saw the par to height ratio and decided to do some research. turns out from 18inch with my light they werent getting nearly enough usable light. at 12inch theyre getting around 500 par now, so hopefully that will help them grow better. these ladies are tiny for their age. good learning experience!

Ok, so one has popped and i checked the other seed and nothing didnt even root. I have a backup seed thats germinated, ill probably stick it in a solo cup before putting it in the big pot.
