Getting new seeds is always really exciting. I would strongly recommend letting those tap roots get at least 1 cm long. I tracked it closely with my grow. The ones with longer tap roots sprouted and grew quicker. Keep em in those towels until they are ready. peace

Day 14 of bagseed grow

After moving her out of the direct sunlight and flushing the soil, I still cannot be sure exactly what was causing the stress. The new growths look much better while the older leaves are continuing to deteriorate. I really think its fertilizer burn. I've learned to never mix a fertilizer in the soil when these guys are still babies.





Day 1 of Afghan grow

I have good news. 5/5 seeds germinated and sprouted. I used a peat moss and soil mix with added perlite. Then I placed the seed, tap root down, about a quarter inch into the soil and lightly covered with peat moss. It took about two days to fully sprout all five seedlings.

I'm currently experimenting with my water for these guys. I found some organic, non-burning nitrogen pellets and let them soak in some water. After the water turned a yellowish tint, I began using that nitrogen water diluted with some fresh water. I've been spraying them about twice a day to keep the soil from drying out. Hopefully I'm not repeating my fertilizer mistake, but I think this should be gentle enough (Im only using pure water on my big girl).

Update

My bagseed plant is looking much better, but those lower leaves (as seen in the pics above) are looking even worse. Brown and drying. Should I snip those leaves off or will it fuck it up at this age? I figured it might help the new growth.

All those leaves with white spots on them will eventually die so don't get too attached to them. I cut off sick leaves when there is no green left on them whatsoever. Any green means it still has chlorophyll and is still producing energy for the plant. Just wait until they're completely dead and brown to remove them.

Great, thanks. That's kinda what I figured. I'll leave it alone for now.

those plants are too young for insecticide and fertilizers....relax and keep watering no more nutes or insecticide until it developes more....there is nutes in soil to last a young plant a long time and use seashells like that one dude said or a lemonjuice/rotten eggs organic spray good luck

Yeah, I haven't sprayed them again since I realized bugs were not the problem. I put nutes in the soil before I realized that I shouldn't have. Too late to go back on that plant, but I think I'm doing a much better job on these new sprouts.

Also, it looks like all my plants are liking the nitrogen I'm spraying on them and in the soil. Again, its organic and non-burning. Its heavily diluted as well.

Hey man your grow is looking good, its a great job that your practicing with your bagseed as you have learnt many things from experience already which your afghans will benefit from! Keep up the good work i'll be watching this grow through!

Thanks a lot! Yeah, I was a little too eager on this first plant, but despite my mistakes, she is really doing well. Since its my first grow, I have no idea if she is stunted or right on track. I'll update soon and let others with experience let me know.

Day 19 of bagseed grow

I've been monitoring this one closely. The nutrient burn claimed the two lower leaves. They fell off yesterday. The speckles on the two largest leaves now seem to be about the same, but one of the newer growth leaves started curling under (its hard to see in the pictures). I went ahead and flushed with a half gallon of ph adjusted water. Despite the setbacks, the stem in thickening up and it seems to be progessing with new growth. Because a small amount of time release ferts are already in the soil, I'm not going to add any nutes until they absolutely ask for it.







Day 5 of Afghan grow

My five Afghans are still growing beautifully, some better than others. They are in rich ph tested soil with NO fertilizers, and peat moss mixed in for soil aeration. One of them has a very dark purple stem and is growing slower than the others. I'm not sure if this is just harmless genetics or something to worry about. Probably the former. Here is the picture of Barney, the big purple sprout. The other four sprout pics are attached below.
