Mello's Mystery Seed Party Cups Grow - 2nd Grow

Likewise! A few seeds are literally floating above the soil. The Seed casing still on lol. Put a few drops of water on the each seed to soften them up. Hopefully by tonight the open up. Adding distance from the lights really helped last night. My nute order comes in today as well.

Hi Mello, I like your ghetto looking setup! :cheesygrinsmiley:

All it takes is a little bit of space, some lights and a little knowledge. You have OG and Pigeons here so you are golden.

I don't know what kind of soil you are using, but don't even think of feeding them babies for a while. The most common beginner mistakes are over feeding and over watering. I'm not sure if you can get all the way to the end of flower in those small cups, but you can play that by ear as you progress with the grow.

Good luck and welcome to this wonderful hobby!

I totally agree. I wouldn't nutes the babys for at least 2 weeks.

For what its worth....JMO here.... I didn't see any holes punched in your cups, holes are important for drainage especially if you plan on
growing through flower in them. Just because the top layer of soil is dry doesn't mean the middle down isn't soaked, without holes its really hard to tell how wet your soil really is. Maybe you have the and I just didn't see them. Also the baggies over the top may be preventing enough oxygen to get to the soil and also prevents fresh air circulating around your babies not to mention light block. IMO its very import for cannabis plants to have air on them from seedling to make them strong. Please don't take my post wrong as I'm just trying to help.
 
I keep them on for humidity, they aren't on tight, I have drainage holes (to many if you ask me lol), and as soon as they are atleast 3 days out of the soil I probably wont take the humidity domes off. Thanks for joining and your input is greatly appreciated. Sorry for the rushed post I'm in class.

Nice work.
 
One seedling popped, she still hasn't opened up her leaves. She looks nice and green and healthy. She's ready for her journey to producing me some great buds. :welcome: to :420: Baby Greens Everyone is rooting for you (pun intended lol).

Good morning mello,

Congrats on your future girl sprouting out to say hello. You do your research ,homework and pay attention, so just keep doing what you know to be right. She will be showing her sex before you know it. (power of positive thinking at work here)

Looking forward to seeing her strut her stuff.
OG
 
Thanks OG, I'm gonna need it!! She's the first of 7 planted. I logged her seed as the largest and most robust seed of the bunch. She took about 2 days to germ and 2 days in soil before today. I love her already lol!
 
Im a little late to the party but better late than never lol. I wanted to address a question you had from the beginning of your journal, you asked about lighting schedule and i would say if you are gonna stay in those red cups the whole way i suggest you go 12/12 from the start since you won't have adequate root space to veg for any real length, now I want to add that the plant will veg for roughly 2-3 weeks regardless of light schedule because they will mature before flowering kicks in. With that small of containers be prepared to water more frequently once they get older and start drinking more this is due to the plant being essentially rootbound so come flowering you might be watering once a day or once every two days. I grow in two liter pop bottles and i water every 2 days roughly. Another helpful tip is get acquainted with the weight of your cups when they are wet so you will know when they need watering as that will save you from overwatering. You have plenty of light as long you aren't trying to grow like 15-20 micro plants. Otherwise everything is looking to be off to a good start. Hope my advice doesn't seem too pushy its just friendly advice lol I'm gonna tag along if you don't mind lol
 
Great point Lex. I didn't know they would veg regardless of light schedule, it makes sense they would need to mature. My question now, hopefully you can answer this one, If I were to go 18/6 then gradually end up at 12/12 within the weeks she would be maturing would it help the plant in any significant way? I want small bushy plants, roughly 1 ft tall and 2 ft diameter. If I have to pot them up I will, I have some 1 gallon pots, and a tidy cats bucket handy. I was hoping 3-4 plants max. Maybe I'll do 1 tidy cats bucket, 2 1gl, and 1 cup.

Really good input there!

Mello, I think you'd be better off having them all in the Tidy bucket(or a tub of some sort) as opposed to a full cycle in cups. JMO. Maybe make a scrog out of it.

Either way I'm hear to watch. Any new pics?
