Transplanted to a 1 liter pot. watered with about 100ml + small amount of KNF
Day 10
Gonna be gone for 3 days
Day 12
Watered rainwater till dropoff
@Puffer_Bill, That's correct.
I'm using a 30w cob (cxb 3590) for veg, inside a small enclosed white bucket. The white walls of the bucket reflect back all the light that goes sideways, this drives the lux up by atleast 3 times.
Getting 30k-40k lux and more with a 30w COB easily, with temps @ 24C.
Really glad I picked that light up :)
Hi. I think your container is too small for the size of the seedling you've got. General rule of thumb is the roots are as big as what is on top of tge soil. I suggest you transplant it asap. Also your soil must not be too wet coz you'll might get a condition called 'damping off' and your seedling will die.
@greenbuddy, also why I origionally mentioned your pot is too small. Once your seedlings root sense the extremeties of the pot it grows more slowly as there is only so much space for its roots to grow... but on the other extreme if you have a small plant in a large pot, the plant's roots can suck up all the water fast enough, hence the soil stays moist for too long, causing nasty fungus to grow.
There are techniques to combat this (for a small plant in a large pot) to only water a small bit round the plants roots and not to drench the entire container.
@greenbuddy, any amount of water for any size of pot is fine as long as if there is too much that the water can drain out the bottom. Once watered allow your roots to dry out a bit before next watering. Roots need oxygen as well - else too wet conditions cause root rot.
About 'damping off' is a condition that occurs with seedings mainly in organic soil that is not sterile. What happens is when conditions are too wet most of the time, certain type fungus grows that kills the seedling. Now this fungus can stay dormant in that soil. Now when you germinate a new seed is that same soil and seedling is doomed from the start. Good idea for prevention is to spray soil and seeds/seedling with dilution of hydrogen peroxide. Best to start seedling in sterile grow medium and once big and strong enough transplant to whatever grow medium.
@@Simsalabim, My previous seedling had 4 nodes @ 20 days old before the roots filled the entire container.
About the damping off, do you think 100ml for this pot (1 liter i think) is too much? From what I know, damping off happens not by quantity of water, but by how often you are watering.
