I look forward to following your grow.

Well 2 are feminized seeds (meaning they were sexed as a seed by genetics, the seed bank did it.) And the other one is a regular seed (chance on being male or female.)

Also I always refer to my plants as females. I believe that if I have a positive outlook that they will all be female then hopefully that's what I will get.

Peace

DAY 10

Ok here it is Day 10. The two small plants were transplanted yesterday and I couldn't be happier with the results. Neither of them seemed to have suffered from the transplant. They are just growin like crazy. The 1st node has appeared on both of them and more leaves are starting to show.

Today I watered both of them with 2 quarts each until the water was in the catch at the bottom of the pot. Hopefully this will promote more root growth as the roots grow searching for more water.

The third plant is almost out of its hull. I was going to let her try to push of the hull but if it gets stuck ill take it off. In a few more days ill have to take and transplant her into a new pot as well LOL.

The kiwiskunk has still yet to surface and i'm starting to worry. I haven't given up hope but it just seems to be taking alot longer than the others. Although its a different strain than the others so it may actually take longer to break the surface. I just hope I didn't plant her too far below the surface.

Peace

Re the yellow leaf tips: I've seen that myself when the plants get too much nutes too early. The plants always seem to recover though.

The yellowing could be from not enough food!! i have some nightshade fem growing at the mo and 1 of them had yellow leaves pretty much from the start plus i almost killed her( see my journal for full story) and yet im in the start of flower and she is doing great!! the yellowing is practicaly gone!! and i think that was due to not enough veg food!!
I think you have transplanted at the right time, just keep your light nice and close so your little baby girls dont stretch too much and DONT overwater them, make sure the soil is dry(top inch or so) before u feed them!

Will stay with you mate and try and help in anyway i can but im quite new to this too!!

well she seems unaffected by it. So hopefully its just discoloration. I haven't added any nutes to the soil they are in its just that scotts soil mix with the time release fertilizer that feeds plants for up to 3 months.

TY for your positive energy and insight.

Peace

First off Thank you for Subscribing!

As far as the yellowing on the leaf tips. It hasn't jumped to the other plant so it's not contagious w/e it is. Also she doesn't really seem affected by it. She continues to grow and looks healthy.

Yes concerning the transplanting it was after the advice I got in the live chat here on the website. They told me to look for roots poking out of the hole on the bottom of the propagator and there where.

Today I watered them with 2 quarts and they seem to be doing fine at the moment. If I notice any changes I'll be sure to document it and post up in my grow journal. I hope I am not over watering them.

Again Thank you for subbing and for the positive energy and insight.

Peace
