I am starting my plants indo, and transplanting outdo.

Lineup 5/12:


That picture was taken after transplanting from 100% soil to 50% soil 50% vermic.

I am pretty sure the one on the very left is dead now, I haven't checked on her in a few hours.. But she wasn't looking good.

Here she is when she was looking decent, the left one.


So I have 4 plants going, 1 still struggling a tad. 2 have died. I have 4 more seeds germinating now.

This was the 6 pots on 5/11 at 2pm, the dried dirt being the first casualty.


My two biggest and my smallest.



I will update more pics laters.

I do have a question though, how old should I allow them to grow before transplanting them outside? I definately cannot have any ladies flowering inside. I may be able to keep 1 or 2 plants under the lights for months before moving outside.

So right now, I plan on 3 of these plants going outside sometime in the near future. And 1 staying under the lights... Oh how I hope the one I keep inside is a female. But when I do transplant these kids outside they will go down into 1/2 potting soil 1/2 verm mix roughly 2' x 2' hole. Sprayed for slugs and snails, chicken wired to keep the deers nibbling elsewhere.

Taken around 11pm tonight..

Plant #1


Plant#1 cool lighting effect.


Plant #2


Plant #3 leaf is wilting, not the best pic. But I think she's going to die soon, if she pulls out I would be surprised.

i would pre-grow them till the grow to a foot along with topping and binding them. that will give you a dense plant for outdoors which is much stronger then those little ones you have now. i did it always that way and it worked well

Sun was shining pretty good today, so I let my babies bathe from 12 to about 7. Now they're back under the light. They are looking good, and even the little one with the wilted leaves is looking better, all her leaves have grown a bit today and the wilt is leaving.

So... I went to care for the plants this morning, water them, move them out into the sun, etc. When I open my gr I notice my newly germd seed that I planted the day before yesterday has vanished.. like MIA. I could have sworn I left it in there, I specifically did not put it outside with the older ones and left it under the florescents yesterday. Unfortunetly for me I was too drunk and blazed last night to even remember if I saw it when putting the older ones back in the gr.

I feel like an idiot.

Some pics:


GR door open, 1 cfl 3500k and 1 2bulb florescent running "Daylight" tubes.


Plant #1


Plant #2


Plant #3, YES! Same #3 above that I said wasn't looking good.


Is 3500k an ok color for the veg stage? or should I go buy a different cfl?

Hi 420th, i'm doing pretty much the same as you and i'm running 2 x 125 watt
envirolites @6400k.That is the blue end of the light spectrum which is what the plants need in the vegging stage.yours are more suited to flowering really and are more over to the red end of light spec.

Hope that helps

All the best

Pic update of my little ones sun bathing in the bed of my pickup. All seeds are done, 11 germinated, 8 sprouted.

Note: the smaller 4 are a week(give or a take a few days) younger then the larger 4.

When you put them outside, try to get them outthere when the sun is rising. Cannabis plants love to see the sunrise : ) Should make them happier and healthier.

Goodluck buddy, I did the same as you, started indoors, then threw them outdoors for the spring to flower.

: )
