Grey_man_2074 Used the wet paper towel method on 3 seeds starting 19th mar, by 24th all seedling had sprouted and I placed in biobizz all mix in cardboard biodegradable seed pots, this photo was from Monday when only 2 had popped, I had a gentle rake in the soil and found the 3rd a bit deeper than preferred and now it too has popped above the soil. I'm starting indoors under led grow light but will be moving to a very private greenhouse c. 30 days (or as advised). I'll be using biobiz fish mix, bloom and topgrow as required starting after 5 leaves or so are evident. Used street bought product with amazing effectiveness on my anxiety so decided to grow my own.

Grey_man_2074started grow question 8y ago
I'm keen to give my seedlings the best start in life so have given them 24hr LED grow lights, however I also want them in the greenhouse under natural light. Q) at what point is best to transfer them to the greenhouse?

Not sure about the 24/24 light on : roots require darkness to fully develop. 20H of light and 4H of darkness will probably give you better results than 24H of light. I would try to synchronize the light with the sun and transfer them into the greenhouse once the roots are visible from below and the plants have been repotted in bigger containers. Good luck with these babies !

Grey_man_2074 Week 4 all is well, been reading up on techniques to optimise yield. Some say don't top/fim or low stress train LST Autos, others say do! I've three seedling of mixed progress so next week the strongest plant I'm going to top/remove the uppermost bud, the second strongest I'll commence LST to flatten her out allowing light to all buds on the stem. Excellent article on growweedeasy.com on autos in the subject. The smallest I'll leave alone. All plants subject to healthy progress will be defoliated towards the base and middle as time progresses/is right. That's is if the general consensus agrees...

Grey_man_2074 this week they're in the greenhouse, the leaves of the plants are different like they different strains? Max min thermometer is saying temp fluctuates from 5 deg to 40! Will try and use the tomatoe frame to open up the foliage to permit light penetration. The one that was fim'ed looks to be going good so far.

Grey_man_2074 Fooked up a bit, let them dry out and overheat, didn't feed for 4 days and greenhouse window fell shut so far baked, I think nute burn may have been burned leaves. I'll paint back wall of greenhouse next year as it's like an oven. Also got thermostat opener at the weekend. Will they ok? Flowers look fine 🤔 Edit, I’ve now removed, as a forum suggested, those leaves that were 70% dead, lets see how that changes things.

Grey_man_2074 It's not going well! Greenhouse may have been getting too hot 50 deg C, insects are eating my leaves, a spider was weaving webs over the buds which they really didn't like. I've fitted an auto open window opener now. Next year I'm going to silicone seal every nook and cranny in effort to keep beasties out (apart from those that can fly in the open window). All the leaves keep turning white 😞. On a positive note the tomatoes are really doing well.

Grey_man_2074started grow question 7y ago
Help, my leaves are dieing, I think I may have been overwatering. Is this a symptom. Spiders and slugs are a problem too any tips? I laid back on watering and new growth has appeared, it’s a fine line though before they dry out in the 50 deg peak temp.

Hi there! You may have overwatered your plants, but they're also showing other symptoms, I think you overfed and gave too much nutrients in the past weeks. Now, about your slugs&snails attacks, the best way to ensure they won't be a problem is to secure your plant with a physical barrier, I've managed to build some great protections with plastic bottles (on babies), or in late stages with tarpaulin around stakes. Otherwise you can catch them by creating simple traps, they're attracted by orange rinds, milk and beer, so you just have to fill a yogurt pot with beer and wait for them to drown themselves into beer paradise. I'll be around, keep us up-to-date, and happy growing!

Grey_man_2074 Well I missed last week but this scorching weather isn’t helping, I think they’ve been baked, all leaves dead or dieing some sugar leaves still remain, thc clear some a little cloudy. I’m inclined to cut them down and see what I have after trim and drying. What you think?

You can't grow in a greenhouse without basil and dill . Basil will attract the snails and slugs and dill will keep away the spiders. When I see your tomatoes, you should grow your Cannabis on the same way ... as the same way .... don't think it needs more of this and more of that because it's Cannabis , it's a f*ck*ng weed bro , just plant them and let it grow like you do with your tomatoes 😉

Grey_man_2074 commented7y ago
@JUNGLE_B4RNS, I had neglected the tomatoes, watering less etc as they are only subterfuge, it looks like they actually got the correct amount of tlc and my over involved care for the weed has, as you suggest, not been great for them. Definitely trying this next year with all my new knowledge with basil, dill, egg shells and 1/2 strength feed and less watering and not trying too hard . Tks

Use lots and lots of broken egg shells. Slugs and snails are VERY persistent. A top layer of Perlite also works as it has sharp edges (and helps stop gnat flies, so a double-winner). Good luck!
Grey_man_2074
Grey_man_2074 commented7y ago
@ShaggyGrower, I'll max out the eggshells, Tks
ShaggyGrower
ShaggyGrower commented7y ago
@Grey_man_2074,that bit of inside egg-shell, the soft bit, make sure that is off and only hard shell remains, or they crawl over the easier soft bit rather than get put off by the sharp bits. Good luck!

Grey_man_2074 commented7y ago
@ShaggyGrower, hi I think they're nearly done, have I missed the boat to flush or as it's organic soil and feed do I bother? Tks
ShaggyGrower
ShaggyGrower commented7y ago
@Grey_man_2074, Lots of growers who use organic soils are fervently anti-flush saying it does no good. If *I* was using a organic soil in a small pot that had very, very good drainage (lots of Perlite, or similar), I would flush. If the soil is quite thick and in a big pot, I would not as I would worry about root-rot. I'm in two minds about flushing within two weeks of pencilled in harvest. I used to like harvesting the plant when pot was dry, so the plant had less water in it and dried faster. Now, I like to slow-dry, so I don't mind if their pot has some water left in it, although drying takes a day or two longer (small potatoes in the grand scheme of things). Thinking about Autumn, when the plants are in the wild and flowering, it is generally a bit soggier than Summer, so I think cannabis plants are used to wet conditions when they near their end.
