Rhody's Castle Seeds Project

Transplanted to one gallon pots as suggested. Very thin stems at the base thicker towards top? Very weak at the bottom, all are the sAme I supported all of them. Hope that root system will do better now.

I have the big plants on a flower cycle, so these guys needed to be relocated. I have them under 6500 23 watt cfl light currently. May go t5, but still researching. I may add a clone to these guys tonight just to see if I can do it. As you can see the stems are very thin, hope then settle in and beef up.

Here is the light setup. Two cfl lights, may add a third. Closet is three feet wide, love to have a three ft t5 setup, but they come in 2or4ft setups. Maybe the four bulb, two foot model would work.

do you have a small fan that you could position and gently blow on the plants to strengthen the stems? how many lumens are your 6500 kelvin 23 watt Compact Florescent Lights? you could use more light for your plants now, perhaps you could use some socket Y adapters with multiple Compact Florescent Lights in them.

 

[Rhodeislander]

Hi king,
Yes thanks for advice. Small fan off camera. Y adapter coming today. Ordering a four tube t5 at 10,000 lumens. Them the CFCs 1700 lumens will be for supplement side lighting , added four cloned to the mix this morning. Did some fish emulsion pre soak of the media, split stems, cloning get, domed...blah blah. Hope I did it right.

Update on the seedlings. All doin well, one has brown spots. Please comment on what may be the issue.

 

[KingJohnC]

what are you adjusting your pH to for your nutrient mixture? you want pH 5.8 for hydroponic and soiless (peat moss and coco coir) and pH 6.5 for soil. it may be a nutrient lock out, to test your soil pH i would water with properly adjusted pH water until run off then test the first run off for pH. if it is not proper i would flush with at least twice the volume of pH adjusted water to adjust the pH of your soil mixture.

here is a nutrient availability chart

I'm using adjusted rainwater. It's 80 ppm. Near perfect.
Small amount of fish emulsion last water. I'm of the opinion now that some plants just show random issues that don't effect the rest of the plant, or genetics of the plant it self. I think I may do a heavy water next just to flush out the pots and see where that brings me.
I did use greenfields soil this time like my first grow. I have a local soil provider that has very high praise from the local university, it's worth a shot. Stems are doing much better, thin bottom section is nice and thick now. Maybe just the container change?

So looking good so far. They are in a cabinet for now while I build a new closet for seedlings. As you can see the plant with brown spots own the lower leaves shows very healthy top growth. The new closet will have. A massive cfl light, 8000 lumens, 6500k. All painted flat white interior, air conditioned. Still building it.

Here we go with a quick update. Still in my tv armoire, new room no ready yet. Lazy I guess.
I don't know why but they really like where they are now. Look at the Prozac strain rear row right, huge plant. Stem is 4x the thickness now after transplant to new pots.

 

[Rhodeislander]

New huge cfl system, new closet. Plants are responding well.

 

[Rhodeislander]

Ok,
So I pulled prozack out for a solo picture, look at this beauty!

Took the girl out for a watering today. Hard to photo with neighbors, mailman etc. had time to snap a quick shot of thc bomb.

 

[Rhodeislander]

Question
My low girl is an auto, never had an auto before.
It's in the vege room at 18hrs of light. Should I move to flower room? Flower room is 1000w 12 hours cycle. She is on cfl now.
Thanks guys.

 

[Rhodeislander]

Looks good

Jake how is your grow going?
Humidity is wicked this year, tough to keep my room dry.
Have you started a journal?

 

[KingJohnC]

i would move your auto flowering plant to your 1000 watt flowering room to provide your plant with more light.

 

[Rhodeislander]

Ok,
will do.
Thanks John

Day 47 of veg under large cfl and small side booster bulb. Looks like time for bigger pots, prozack is off the hook. Those fans are bigger thn my hand.

 

[KingJohnC]

looks like you will soon run out of room in there when you transplant.
