The humidity has dropped below 50, and I can't fix it. I put a bowl of water under my lights, and even after a night, nothing. I tried to mist everything and then put a heater in there, but no.

my tallest plant is maybe 2 inches. aren't they suppose to be taller? *sigh* I feel like I'm doing something wrong.

patiences

low humidity isn't necessarily harmful to the plants, it's just that spider mites and other bugs like low humidity, whereas high humidity invites mold..it's really a balancing act. below 50 isn't really a problem. mine is currently at 42 so you'll be fine.

So the babies are still looking kind of droopy. I either overwatered a little bit, or my theory is that perhaps I am having some sore of micro nutrient deficiency.

The soil I am using is African Violet, and while it has perfectly balanced pH and NPK, I have no idea how it is micro nutrient wise. I mean my plants aren't drooping badly, but they are a itsy bit wilty, and I know one is looking kind of curly.

My humidity has dropped again also, now its on like 30, closer to 25

Check this out. This is retarded. My soil, doesn't have hardly any of the micronutrients I need.

scarlette they are babies, they dont need anything but time to mature.

im sure the soil will get you through the early stage. how many sets of leaves do they have ? can you support them with anything (paperclip) to help.

hold tight im loading pics of mine at 8 days above soil under 48" fluor's t8's.

o.k. , sorry took so long. damn cell phone pics !!!

some of the embryonic leaves are already starting to yellow and fall off. For the most part they have besides these leaves are a set of two other leaves, and most of them are sprouting all these itsy bitsy what are going to be leaves. all of them atleast have 4 with a max of 6.

I think when it is time to transplant them I will get some Fox Farm Ocean Forest potting mix. It looks lots better.

They dont really need to be supported by a paperclip, it's the leaves that look droopy. stemwise they are pretty straight.

i have used all the store bought soils that i thought were good......

i only use fox farm ocean forest now..

pics are up, and you cheer up.

ScarletteSky · #18 10-21-2007, 10:00 PM

yeah that cheers me up alot! in the first pic do you see how your leaves are a little droopy? That's how mine look, i'm glad that it's normal lol.

I was reading up on the Ocean Forest mix and it looks pretty promising, i'll probably start using that eventually along with the Fox Farm Grow Big, that looks good too.

BIGMIKE13 · #19 10-21-2007, 10:10 PM

their soil is the best, many will agree. (ocean forest)

the nutes i use also (grow big, big bloom, tiger bloom), i think they call it the three pack.

glad i could help...

So, I took them a little further away from the light and they seem to be doing better. I think I did over water a tad and they should be drying out in a few days. They're fine.

I am so bored, just stuck here at school waiting for pre-cal. *le sigh* I have alot on my agenda today so it's going to be hella crazy.

Tomorrow I start my new job ^_^

I'm going to be a Librarian.
