Bagseed basement CFL grow

**Prax** · 06-29-2009, 03:49 PM

I have made several attempts over the years to grow bagseed. The plants always grow, but I almost never get any buds that are worth all that growing effort (I probably harvested way too early.)
This time, I did my research and tried to make the best setup possible with what I could easily get.
This is my first post, and my first journal. I'll do my best:

light: 8 CFL bulbs with reflectors, 100w 1600 lumen 6500k

soil: miracle grow potting soil, perlite, vermiculite, worm castings (not sure of the ratio on any of it)

germinated in paper towels and then planted in styrofoam cups when the root was about an inch long. Trying to keep the light about an inch from the leaves. The first two were planted on 6/20 then the next two on 6/21, then the final four on 6/22. By 6/24 all of them had sprouts with their first two leaves.

I have been watering every day so far, since I used a fairly light potting mix. I also added a teaspoon to my last gallon of water to try and bring the pH down (up? can't ever remember how pH works)

I transplanted some of the seedlings today after checking their drainage holes and finding several roots peeking through. Only plants 1, 2, 3, and 6 were ready to move to the big pots. The rest of the babies are still in their dixie cups.

I repotted the remaining four seedlings today and noticed some kind of damage to a few leaves on almost all 8 plants. Other than this issue, they all seem to be doing great. Can anyone help identify what this is that seems to be eating the leaves?

Its The Water Thats Been Splashed On The Plant While Watering Then The Lights Dried It Up Mate Or The Moisture In The Morning Getting Dried Up By The Lights

on further review I too believe its where it got burned from water on it magnifying the light, or something like that.
