THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE part 1
Well im finally posting some pics of my grow. My wardrobe is almost completly finished, just need to add a fan up top once i have plants to go up there and possibly more intake vents, havn't decided yet.
I realized two days ago that i was drowning my plants, so i've held off on watering until their mediums are dry its hard!
I started them in jiffy pots only 2 seeds were able to handle the excess water and sprout out of 5 ak 48 seeds. the 5 hazexskunk #1 didn't want to pop in all that water so i pulled 2 of them outa the jiffy pots and cracked them by hand since their shells were so hard and left them in a paper towel until the leaves were starting to come out, that seems to work a lot lot better. 3 ganesha's dream seeds poped right away but then stoped growing since the jiffy's were to damp, so i've put two in paper towels. One is responding nicely and will be ready for transplant prolly tomorrow or the next day, I think i killed the other one. i also have two seeds in oasis cubes to see if that works better then jiffy's. The ganesha's in the oasis seems to be ready to sprout at anytime. the roots are growing anyways we'll see.
How often should I water seedlings in jiffy pots? wait until its bone dry then soak it? My plants have been in seed for over 2 maybe 3 weeks but to much water keeps them from growing.
One of the two that were able to sprout off the water has its center turning red can't see well enough to see if its bugs or not, i think the leaves are just discolored, i'm not sure. It doesn't seem to really be growing after the transplant, i dunno if the roots ever made it out of the jiffy cube. The other one seems to be doing pretty well its twice the size of the other and working on its third set of leaves.
I had given a light bit of nutes to the two sprouts, but they started twisting up so I flushed them and decided to ask when i should started nutes? once the round leaves start to fall off?
I took the black plastique off the plants b/c it was blowing around and hurting the plants, i am getting some powdery mold but i have sm 90 on the way, and i figure ill get some hydroton rocks to put in the pans to keep light off the nutes.
to water the oasis cubes should i just dip them in water then let them sit? I had a bit of water sitting in the pan but I think that made the medium too moist b/c they stopped growing and were showing the too much water leaf droop. I'm trying to figure out the best way to keep them in the optimal water. I'm think let them dry all the way or most of the way before re watering? anyone that uses jiffy pots to sprout how often do you water them?
Temps go from 67ish at night to 80-88 during the day, normally tops out at 85 which is why i think i need more intake since ambient temps are 70. I turned up the exhaust fan a bit since i had turned it down and before i turned it down max temp was 84 generallyh 80 though, so well see what happens today.
