Monkey's 2nd Attempt - CFL - Soil - Thunderpaws

[ChronicMonkey]

Hey guys
Anyone ever tried incandescent grow lights

They 60w soft white globes.. My mate got me two fpr free.. Was thinking about using them in my cloning/flowering side of the caninet till i get my full spectrum 28w led full spectrum grow lights.. Was thinking 9 of them giving me a 252 full spectrum led grow lights.. But till such time are these incandescent grow lights worth it or should i just use cfl's for now

On another not her is a pic of the cabinet so far,

I have 2 thunderpaws that sprouted, another 4 in soil waiting to pop. Also have 5 stranskei nag seeds in small cointainers to see if they will pop up..

The two seedlings i have got going are growing very slowly, not sure if its about the transplant or what..

Light they under are 340w 6400k and 200w 2700k... Really the rest oft thee seeds start to pop u

Cfl is the better in my opinion. I used a ge brand version for seedling and switch to a cfl 23w I saw a big difference.

Guess what?! Another seedling popped!!

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Whoop whoop more seedlings popped.. Got a total of 5 going now..



Only thing i have notices is that the first two that popped are growing super slow, why is that?

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Well i got 6 in total now. Will update with pics just now

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Well i did some repotting and reorganizing and i ( even if i have to say so myself ) it looke freaking sweet.. Some pics..

Im keeping the cabinet door open as the heat build up inside is insane and they seem to be burning the seedlings.. So till i get more pc fans in there im keeping the door open... But i have a total of 6 thunderpaws seedlings going and waiting on another 5 seeds to pop...

Anyhow here is to some happy growing..


Damn but it looks well organized, im so happy with myself for putting in that extra time and effort

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Have you been adding nutes? Sometimes the soil has more than enough for young plants

 

[ChronicMonkey]

No nutes.. Just plain h20 and now the one seedlings bottom two round leaves have curled up and died and first set of spear leaves have dead ends two.. This is only happening to two seedlings.. Im starting to think the soil is the culprit.. Is it too late to transplant them in new soil? Thats if the soul is the culprit..

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Okay so this morning check again on two seedlings.. The round leaves on the one has died off complete and turning more yellow amd the second sick is turning more yellow with burnt tips on the first set of spear leaves.. Like i said i have given them no nutes so far.. Do you guys think its a soil problem and should i transplant asap?

That is first one thats round leaves have died off completely

Second one that seems to be doing the same as first with burnt tips

So should i repot?

 

[ChronicMonkey]

okay so i went ahead with repotting the seedlings in new soil and moved two other seedlings into the pot just in case they don't make it

 

[ChronicMonkey]

okay so my seedkings are growing super slow. one even died. it bare3ly broke the soil and then died. can anyone telling whats gfoing on here. they have been going two week about now but the growth is suoer slow. any input or advive on the please?

 

[ChronicMonkey]

just for interesting sake i have been taking some measurements are here is what they are.

13 june 2017
plant 1 - 2.3cm
plant 2 - 2.7cm
plant 3 - 2.5cm
plant 4 - 2.6cm
plant 5 - 2.3cm
plant 6 - 1.3cm

24 june 2017
plant 1 - 3.0cm
plant 2 - 4.0cm
plant 3 - 3.4cm
plant 4 - 4.0cm
plant 5 - 4.0cm
plant 6 - 2.5cm

so in 11 days does this seem normal or should the growth be a bit faster then this?
alsois it to soon for nutes?

any help or input would be awesome..

thanks

tell me if you need pics.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

Okay well i made a few changes to my grow cabinet and i think i solved my slow growth problem...

Here are new pics

Since the changes they bounced back.. Each adding about half a cm or more in just 2 days... Where while under the old conditions i got like a cm or more in 10 days.. So things are looking up again..

The yellow seedlings in two pots are the two that was bad off and that im trying to safe which looks like its working as they growing new leave sets and not yellow anymore...

 

[ChronicMonkey]

So im thinking or introducing nutes. Two seedlings are at there 4-5 nodes and rest are ar 2-3.. Plus they beginnng with some yellowing. So what you guys think i can intriduce nutes:..

So what you guys think

 

[ChronicMonkey]

hey here is an update on the seedlings, still going strong. 3 of them seem to be groing strong but the other three not much. im still just using normal h20 "borehole water"..

some are strarting to go yellow or just light in color not that normal dark green color. any thoughts to this?

some pics to follow

Nice. Are they maybe overwatered to cause the very slow growth?
Soil needs a to dry up between waterings.
Only water after top 5cm of soil is completely dry.

 

[ChronicMonkey]

That is more or less what im doing but think i should wait longer of pot size
