Supergroomer - Back & Smaller Than Ever

[Dave Groomer]

When I have problems with seedlings falling over soon after sprouting it's due to the soil temp being too cold.

Yeah. I think I just transplanted it too soon. I was flipping that plant to 12/12 so I figured take it. If it makes it great if not..oh well.

The SHMM is not going anywhere. It may be just as well so there is a spot right away for the c99 and the carnvel when it gets here.

So here is an update. Nothing on the SHMM. The little ones are doing well. The PDH is looking worse, but I expected that even if it is getting better. She had almost no roots. I am hoping the roots are starting to build up. I gave her a feeding with clone/seedling formula. I figured it couldn't hurt. Here are a couple pics.

The Blue Blood and the Primo Purple are looking good and starting to get bigger.

That Blue Blood is looking fine! Lush to the extreme. I'm glad to see the seedlings all up and perky. I'm so looking forward to you growing a Carnival. You're going to be so pleased with the strain.

What a pleasure to see you growing again. It never gets old celebrating that.

you rock dude

 

[Dave Groomer]

I have a couple pictures of the PDH. She looks like she is going to make it. I trimmed off the worst leaves and low and behold, all new growth behind it. It looks like my patience is paying off. What a resilient little weed we have here.

 

[Dave Groomer]

One more update. The little ones are are transplanted to their next pots.

And I swear the BB and PP have grown 2 inches since yesterday!!!

This is a particularly inspirational grow SG as I too am using a Mars tent & lights. Can I ask the reasoning behind having the light so high? I started off at 8" but I've just raised it to 22". I see I'm still much closer than you and your results speak for themselves. Am I waaay too close at 22"?

Welcome to my little garden.

My light in the veg tent is about 24" right now. That is because I have some young seedlings in there. I will probably raise some of the plants in the veg tent as they get bigger, because I am planning on popping 2 more seeds (when they get here

The flower tent is at about 18". You want the light as close as you can to get the best benefit, but if you are too close, you lose the blending of the LEDs. I would not go closer then 14" or so. I think that is as close as you can get and still blend. If you get too close, you can actually see the individual colors on the leaves. That is too close.

 

[MaxHeadroom]

Thanks for taking the time to reply SG, it is much appreciated.

I think I'll drop back down to 18" now. I've only got two seedlings under the lights right now, with a third seed going in soil later today.

Cheers

 

[Dave Groomer]

If you only have the one light, you may find it easier to leave the light at one height (say 24") and then raise the pots to the light. THis way, you little babies are at 24" and you older plants can be closer to the light. I use an old box of tiles that I had in my garage. I will stack the tiles under the pots. Hope this helps.

 

[MaxHeadroom]

A splendid idea, thanks. I'll have three plants at different heights very soon due to a hiccup with my second seedling (beginner's ham fist). I'm stupidly happy with my grow after eight days. It wouldn't be possible without excellent advice like this. The help from the 420 community is amazing.
