Day 13. How do they look so far?

Skoad · #1 06-28-2009, 01:23 PM

So 13 days from today I put the lil seed with their tails popping out into the soil. This is how they are looking today.

Just looking for any input. See if they look like they are doing alright. It seems the bigger one is really cramped together. All the leaves are in like 1 big bunch. The other one is actually about the same, just a lil runt compared to the one on the left.

-edit- The lil brown dots ya see at the end of one leaf is soil! =D

You need to pH your water before feeding them, it looks like you pH is outta wack

yeah whats the ph of the water...and they look droopy...maybe over watering them

Skoad · #5 06-28-2009, 01:34 PM

I may be over watering them, but only giving them about half a glass of water a day.

I probably need to get a better pH water testing kit. Ive got one of the dropper testers for pH/Chlorine for pools. I just tested the water and it seems like it is somewhere around 6.5-7. Its kind of hard to tell exactly. I am using tap water so I guess I may want to buy a water filter or something for my sink.

I had thought they looked sad also.

Yeah thats too much water! when they are this young they should only need maybe 1/2 cup every 2 days just because the surface is dry doesnt mean that the roots and soil below are dry

Skoad · #7 06-28-2009, 01:49 PM

Yea. I normally test by sticking my finger in and it feels pretty dry at my 2nd knuckle. Thats how I had tested anyway. Ive got a water meter, and normally at 1-2 when I water (which is in the RED area of low).

Ill definitely stop with the watering tho. Also I let my water sit for about 12-24hours before using it.

You want the soil to be completely dry before you water again. That is how you get nice strong root systems

Yeah man that's waaaayyyyy too much water.

Let your pots dry out, pretty much completely. Then start your little "girls" on 100-200ml of water every 2-3 days.

The amount of water and the time in-between waterings is directly related to the size of your pots. They don't look very big in the pics, so I would recommend 100ml of water like every other day. Just make sure they're basically bone dry before you water again. Stick your pinky in the soil on the edge of the pot a little ways past the first knuckle. If it still feels moist, don't water just yet.

And a PH meter wouldn't be a bad investment. Especially if you're using tap water.

Oh, also, if you ARE using tap water let it sit out for a few days so the chlorine can evaporate.

Good luck.
