Easy's CFL Grow Box journal

How much longer should they get before I bury them in dirt?

Did the seed casing already come off?

I would put them in soil now bro, just lightly pack the soil around it, about a 1/4 in deep. Make sure the soil is thoroughly moistened before you put the sprout in there.

Plant those two as well already even though they are barely peeking??? I thought they should be at least 3/8" but if you have experience, then I will throw them in some FFoF, moistened of course.

I put mine in rockwool "or dirt" right when they pop out like that.. Its basically letting you know that its a good seed so you don't have to go digging in the dirt to find a dud seed.. Plant them now, some say ffof is to hot to start seedlings but I've had no problems!

I'm in this until the end,
very interesting setup.

Glad you pointed me to your grow Easy.

Well I now have four seeds in the dirt and I see green peeking through the dirt on my first planted seed. I hope at least one or two are females.

Thanks Greenlights. I am subed to yours as well. I'll be playing with the lights as I go taking yours and others suggestions. This is going to be fun.

thats actually a good idea. safety comes in numbers!! my first grow was one bagseed, a male. set me back a few months while i decided what to do next. so i planted 3 more bagseeds?? this time ALL female. didnt really want that cuz of space, but it was fun.

Yea, no way will I grow four in my area... not enough space or light. I don't want more than two. So if I have four females, then I am not sure what I will do. Just ready to see what happens...

You just got to keep them small and LST the hell out of them. 4 plants would fit in there, but you would need to flower them at less than 6 inches to have good clearance.

Day 3 for my first plant....

Great thanks CT.

Now a tip, put a plastic baggy on as a humidity dome, and don't water it for at least the first week. I say that because there looks to be adequate water in there for a seedling.

so take a sandwich bag and loosely place it over the cup? makes sense to me.

Or you could even secure it with a rubber band. It will live in that environment with no air for several days. Take it off a few minutes each day though to acclimatize it to the lower humidity more gradually.

Thanks Gumball... I'll start that tonight. The humidity level in my grow box stands around 45%

Hey Easy subbed to u

MissM

Hey Gumball... once I placed the bag over the barely sprouted seedlings they took off out of the dirt. one looks alright and the other looks like a root and the step are coming out of the dirt... not sure if you can tell from the photos...



should I have any concern?

how long do I leave the bag over them... 1 week?
