G'day everyone.
This is my first grow and as it turns out I have put the horse before the cart.
A bit to excited I forgot to check all the info out first, O well you live and learn.
The first pic was my first attempt by using a stove light while I waited to get new better lights. I also left it out int he sun each day thinking that would be fine.
As you can see it begun stretching and became very unstable. Had me stuffed what was going on. After reading plenty of info on this sight and having imput from others, I went out and purchased some proper seedling mix instead of the crap I had them in.
turns out after transplanting them into the new mix they took off, well at least the blue berry did, the chronic died, bugger. The blue berry is finally growing two new leaves as you can see. I also germinated one jack herer and one white widow. The day after dropping them into the new seedling mix, the Jack herer popped its head out with two leaves, I couldn't believe it, man that was fast. The white widow broke through the very day after, Im a happy man for now.
Light
I went and bought a 250 watt CFL from a hydroponic gardening shop. They had some good info. I have the light around 8-10 inches above the plants as it seems to give off a bit of heat.
Watering
I have been giving them around a table spoon of water every couple of days, the surface is quite dry and crusty around that time.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Green pot plant is blue berry
third from left is Jack Herer
last on the right is White widow.
