What’s going on there, @Vagabond_Windy? Are those peat plugs or soil or…? The medium looks all dried-out. I’m not criticizing or anything, I know you know how to grow haha, just curious. Have you ever considered throwing a light layer of mulch on top of your starts? I’ve found that doing that and then just lightly misting a few times a day really helps.
Yes, you’re right. Unfortunately I can only check on my grow once a day. And I realized that that tray was in the path of a fan, no directly, but enough to dry out those first rows. I watered them after this pic and I moved the fan.
One day I’ll live in a legal state and pop a tent in the house. Hopefully then I can have more like 90-95% environmental control, versus the 60-70% I have now in a shed in the woods . For now I’ll have to settle for 50% of my seeds being vulnerable to fuck ups like this.
Yezzir, thank you. I thought so. I wasn’t sure and am getting low, especially on straight AOG I noticed your name written but no check beside. Added now. My bad
You’d think that’d be the case, but with the crazy weather we’ve been having lately, I feel like I have zero control over anything. I got mold on some of my drying weed the past couple weeks, never happened before, had to toss some of it. I’ll go to bed and the weather’s how it “should” be this time of year and then wake up in the morning and it’s rained overnight, 75% humidity in the drying tent. I’ve never seen it rain here in September before and it’s happened four times so far this year.
Anyway, maybe think about a light layer of barley mulch or straw or something on those starts. Rice hulls or whatever. The seedlings’ll push through; they wanna grow. Mist it a little heavy when the lights come on since you can’t get to them five times a day like I can haha (believe me, I wish I was so busy that I could only deal with the grow for a few minutes every day) and they shouldn’t dry out so much.
Spellcaster have easily almost tripled in height. Gonna be close as I have 8 or so inches of headroom left.
On the left side are 2x church, 1x Garmr #5 and 1x TK staying short lol
Everything is good so far. Except for the TK. She’s not as tall as I’d figured she would be. Like no stretch at all. She’s also displaying a variegation.
I’m thinking a pH imbalance of some kind. She’s also in a tent that is lights on for 10.5 hours and off for 13.5 hours. I have another one lined up to start flowering in a couple weeks with a fresh batch of soil being made today so we will see if it’s cut or soil.
Man that’s really weird on the no-stretch tk… and the variegation especially. can’t say I’ve ever seen that on her before Where’d that TK come from? The leaves and flowers look pretty on-point from here but the rest sounds strange imo.
nice roots! Great work! those things are gonna take off when they hit the dirt. It seems to help them move fast in veg when they have that big established root system. They may be pushing pistils from low lighting?
