Default 2 weeks in; CFL 300 watt
Hi All,

This is my first post after lurking and learning for the last couple of months on what is the best fourm on the interweb..respect

Am into week two of my frist ever grow and looking for a bit of feedback. Here's some details on the set up

The seeds are Hindu kush sensi seeds, germined 5 seeds using paper towel method planted into pastic cups 2 weeks ago and 3 seeds survived until now. transplaned the 3 remaining plans to larger pots today. noticed that there in not that much growth above ground but the plant routes are really moving. was thinking maybe should have transplaned eariler to provide more room and promote more growth. at what stage do CFL growers normally transplant to lager pots.

Am using westland hanging basket compost mixed with some horticutal grit sand, temps are averaging around 65F and humity about 30% light is a 300 watt cfl 6700 with 18/6, light is only a few inches away from the plants

Some photos below. One plant doesn't seem to be doing too good compared to the other two, leaves look dehydrated and under developed.

So do these plants look very small for two weeks? just using water at the moment and plan to begin nutes at end of week 3, 1/4 strenght or should I begin the nutes now.

Any feedback would be welcome

Cheers

Zeb

That light might be a little too close for those young plants. Try raising it about 2in for now until the plants are a little more mature.

The intensity from the light being close keeps the plant from growing up and out to the light, try backing off for 2-3 days and you will see it grow by the end of the third day.

Hi Guys thanks for the feedback , its very helpful, Driftwoodg that's awsom, am at the end of week 3 now and they still aren't near that size.
They have done well in the last week since I transplanted them to bigger pots.

grow space you were right about that wee plant it's doing real well now

Am begining them on half strenght bio grow today. So have a question, how long before they show sex, am shitting it that they'll be all lads.

we had a mother of a storm here the other night and lost power they ended up in the dark and the light timer was out of sync but doesn't seem to have done them any damage.

Photo's below, steady as she goes dudes...respect

Your right about the light as had power cut the other night and think that actually helped them grow would you suggest going 12/12 for a few days or just moving he light away a little

you would be better off if you mixed a bit of perlite into the soil next time, this will make it more airy and drain better. also be careful not to overwater them, they looked soaked in the first picture. good luck!

oh and you cant go to 12/12 'for a few days'. if you are using a 200w cfl, it should be like 1-2 inches away from the plant. you want it as close as possible. Only move to 12/12 when you want to start the flowering phase, generally after 2-4 weeks of vegging at 18/6, but you can start in whenever. personally i went 12/12 from the start.
