This is my first grow here's what's up so far. I have 3 seeds that have sprouted in rockwool, and are starting to grow in Miracle Grow Moisture Control soil. I screwed one of my plants up the other night by dropping a magazine on it, so it's dead. I have a new seed starting in its place. My grow box has a fan and a carbon filter but the temps are still in the 80's.

I tried to get some perlite in there today because the moisture control is keeping way too much water in the pot. I probably ripped some roots up in the process, but this had to be done.

you shouldnt tie the plants up so early as the stemwill not strengthen as quick as it has been relying on the support of the pencil.

Okay, the floss has been removed. When can I tie them?

they shouldn't really need to be tied until later in life if you wanted to lst.

im growing a mix of ryders to.

are they fem seeds you have or are you hoping for females?

Thanks for the information! I'm using a two bulb t5 that is said to put out 10,000 lumens (link). Two of the seeds are feminized, and the rest are hopefuls.

The plants are looking good but I think I'm overwatering a couple of them because they are drooping and my moisture meter says they are still wet down under. I don't recommend this miracle grow moisture control to any first timers; I've been in a major strugg because of it.

yeah i have heard many people have problems with mg soil, i used bio bizz all mix, my oldest diesel ryders are at 15 days now, check them out in my journal (link in sig)

Peace

check out my grow just started

they really dont need watering that much at this age. once every 4 days to a week is prob better. iv not watered mine and its been 8 days so far, perhaps let them dry abit before the next watering. feel they weight of your plant and pot if its heavy dont water if its light give it some.

Hope this helps.
