Grow Timeline (1 updates)
The blue pots were started in the tent and have been raised in the tent the one in the black pot was started outside and transplanted to soil about a week ago. Trying to save the one that was started outside. When watching videos my plants seem way behind in growth. I'm probably missing some stuff here and there any tips tricks pointers would be greatly appreciated
Update.
After the tips I've re worked my tent to get the light closer to all my plants on Christmas day. They have finally shook off the cold I've started introducing a fox farm fert feed you add to the water for seedling and transplanted plants. Only the big three are getting them tho.
The tiny one in the solo cup was a volunteer that grew up next to the orange widow that was started. I was able to get it transplanted and that has taken hold so she's growing now. The really tall plant in the solo cup I believe is Bruce banner I started it to see how far my lights needed to come down. I got my seedling heat mat. What are the recommended days for use on those? Once I get the orange widow healthy I'm giving it back to the owner. I'm just trying to save her. I know they are still in need. I have removed the auto watering system to manually feed them daily. I have added worm dirt around the base of the plants also. I do have my new soils but right now this is all in the miracle grow stuff.
Current head count
2 white widow
2 orange widow
1 Bruce banner
What light are you running and what soil are you using
Some miracle grow soil with 6 months of nuits I have a tripod stand we ith five light sticks that's I can move around. It's shrink all the way down to fit in the tent. I've had it all the way down on brightness then up three clicks I'll get a pic of the light added thank you for your time
We had a winter drop in temp that had my house colder than normal for like 4 days that could have stunned them?
Man your making all the first timer mistakes right away which isn’t a bad thing I guess. 1. Never use miracle grow as it doesn’t distribute the 3 main nutrients need properly 2. Get better lights or lower them to 18-24inches above canopy your seedlings are dying and stretching due to lack of light. 3. Make sure your environment is good, bad temp of RH can ruin a grow quick. Good luck mate
Thank you for your help I have some new stuff on the way.
I did exactly the same thing. Try to grow in a cuboard with those tiny lights. They are not ment for weed, not nearly enough light. Invest in a grow light that will help 100% your ladies want light im sure those light only give of about 100 ppdf. ☺️
So you do think that type of light is any good it has various settings red blue and white I can turn the sticks off one by one. Do they need my light to be brighter?
Definitely not enough light. Its anoying cuz i also bought that till i realized thats for tiny plants not weed. Download a ppfd app on your phone and get an avarage of what loght it gives of. You will see its not enough. And you cant get any more light out of it. If your eyes aint feeling like you are looking towards the sun when you peep into your tent. Then you know its to little. If you kinda have to squint to see whats happening its to little. Ps im saying this cuz i did the same thing. Buy a cheap light and expect it to do the same. My advice would be even if its just normal light just add more lights in your grow space until you get a better light. Ps better lights dont always mean breaking the bank. 🙂
Thank you I have turned the light all the way up that's a lot of reading to get that figured out I downloaded the app so I gotta lot of reading to do
Glad i could give some help. Enjoy your grow the journey is worth every penny you spend. 😁
I agree I have already spent a good chunk on everything. Bc I have more stuff on the way like the recommended soil a ph tester a tds test pH up and down a warming mat an exhaust fan and other things
A few months from now you going to look back and say jip ots been a journey . Nice thing if you get it dialed in you good then it becomes alot easier to maintain
I sure hope so thank you very much for your time and input I appreciate it! Hopefully I'm a few months I'll have this figured out way better than I do now 🤣
