Thanks mate, I appreciate the compliment. It think we all have a seedling headache,so you're not alone.. I havent had any success with clones, this was the last one

Yes, she was called Dave

Ohh Dave xD
You actually made a tiny coffin for her, legend

 

[Jack420]

I’m in for this one I love that light !!!!

 

[Bill284]

Good morning Mr Squiggle.
Hope you are having a good day.
How are you enjoying the new position.
Are we driving you nuts yet?
Stay safe.
Bill

 

[Grand Daddy Black]

Yes, she was called Dave

May have been for the best. A female with the name "Dave" undoubtedly would have had a rough life.

 

[Krissi Carbone]

Squig!!! I found the case grow!!! Omg I want to try!!

 

[Krissi Carbone]

May have been for the best. A female with the name "Dave" undoubtedly would have had a rough life.

Unless Dave was a famous person's daughter....then you could name her Dave Trainwreck Blurple and she'd be the next President

 

[Paul Squiggle]

Ohh Dave xD

The funeral was the sad bit

 

[Paul Squiggle]

I’m in for this one I love that light !!!!

Appreciate you following along mate. I can't fault the light, it's hard to explain the quality of it, without sounding like a weird nerd with an LED fetish

Pictures serve enough justice me thinks Squig...at least more than us running our mouths about how great it is...
Go team Mars!

 

[Paul Squiggle]

Good morning Mr Squiggle.
Hope you are having a good day.
How are you enjoying the new position.
Are we driving you nuts yet?
Stay safe.
Bill

Evening Bill, I've had a great day today, thank you.
The new job hasn't really started yet. I'm not allowed to touch any of the important buttons yet,until I complete my training.
Oh, and you've always drove me nuts anyway
Hope things are good on your side..
Thank you for popping in,
Sending our love to you both

wouldn't be the worst President yous have had

Too true, but any plant with any name has a rough life with me anyway. Dave was doomed from the start. Have you sat on any plants lately?

 

[Jack420]

I can agree on ya there !!!

Howdy do folks. Hope alls growing well with you lot.

Just a quick update.
Busy soaking another JH seed; this will be the 5th one up to now. 3 didn't crack and I killed 1 of them with my heavy handed transplant technique.
The AG and NL are pretty happy girls though
Here is the Alcapulco Gold

And here is the Northern Light

They are slightly droopy at the moment; it just became noticeable after watering them today..

And to finish, here is a group shot

Thats it for today folks.. as always, I appreciate you all taking the time to stop by, as I know how busy you all are with your own journals and all the other journals you follow..
Thanks again

I can't discuss politics past an inital joke,, it gives me the worst agita

I thought you joked mostly about killing plants. I don't see how though cause you have some really beautiful ones....I think it's just bad seed luck for you and not the grower...

Also, did I miss what height and strength you originally had the 4800 set to? I am still learning, together my two lights give me like 250W. I have them at 27 inches and 25%. I burnt them as you know...I am scared to increase intensity. Especially with Limelight not recovered yet and Goldie just sprouting her seconds. Maybe if I push them off to the side and not have them in direct light, I can increase to 30? Any thoughts?

Hi mate. @Krissi1982

On this grow I used a cheap lux meter to set the light. For the first week, I didn't go above 7000 lux. I started at 3000 on day one and gently increased it day by day. Now I'm at 14000 lux, 25% at 17 inches and I will wait another week or more before i increase it any further
There is plenty of time to blast them with light when they hit the veg stage.. more leaves, more light.
I usually go the other way and not give them enough light at this stage and I've ended up with Leggy plants, thats why I bought the lux meter. I would not increase to 30 until you have at least a few true fan leaves.
You are saying you have 250 Watts pointed at them. When you think of it, you can get a few plants through flower and produce a tonne of bud,with just 100 Watts of LED; So does a seedling need more than that?

I've killed loads of plants in the past, but I experiment on them.. these new nutrients I'm using are just generic plant nutrients, so I've got to figure out dosages as I go, saying they are not specifically designed or cannabis. But yeah, a few of these JH seeds have been duds, I've never had problems germinating before.

Stretchyness of the seedling is a good indicator on how intense your light is. But instead of turning the power up to over come such issues, just move the light closer or further away.

I hope this helps mate.

I'm 8 pages back but will eventually catch up. For now, before I forget, I'm pulling up a chair to reserve my spot. I'll be back later. Time to clean the tent and grow space and prep for the next grow!!!

Im thinking Northern lights, definitely Alcapulco Gold and possibly Jack herer.

I'm hoping this hasn't changed! I'll find out later tonight what you decided on. This is where i left off. Haaa haa

Blessings!

Don't worry about catching up, nothing exciting has happened.. but thank you for jumping on board. I appreciate it.

Lmaoo. In memory of Dave

Anyway seedlings looking super! youre about a week ahead of me.
Whats your plan for these plants? Remember they were photos right? Are we going to see some long ass vegging, main-lining, scrogging?
