Hey,

They are loving life. Looking good, looking good.

From here until you start popping off monster leaves and nodes for veg, is the seemingly longest wait while cultivating. After they pop to start of rapid veg. Hahaha.

I used to get up in the morning, and think they hadn't grown at all....(pokes with stick....hey....com'on.....grow)

We got 7 of 8 through the transplant alright. Our little girl Sting didn't quite make it, or so we think. We've been trying to nurse her back but its probably not going to happen. I think she got buried a little too deep when we transplanted from our germination paper towels. All in all though, we're off to a great start! Can't wait to get our 2nd set of leaves!

We totally get up and poke em with a stick and see how much progress they have made! That might end up being our greatest weakness throughout our trip through Mordor... The inability to just leave them alone and let them do their thing. Maybe someday... Maybe not. :)
Its our inability to be satisfied that has pushed us to where we are now!

Lol,

Totally know what you mean. Less is more tends to be the case though. Specially with your setup in soil.

What kind of nutes have you secured?

Well so far we haven't picked up any yet. About how far along should our plants be, before we add about nutes?

Today marks day 7 of our adventure! One week ago we could hardly wait to see our babies sprout from the soil! Today, we can't wait for the third set of leaves to really take off! A premier photo shoot was a must to celebrate the occasion!:joint: :mrgreen:

Also note on photos 1254, 1255, 1257 and 1244 you can see that two leaves have formed on the first leaf set! We see three leaves forming on our second node like normal, and the rest of our plants all have one leaf on the first leaf set like normal. We hope the extra leaves are a good sign but we are not 100% certain! If anyone could shed some light on the subject we would most certainly toast a tasty green bowl of pipe weed to ya!
We've recently changed out the 27watt CFL in the 5500K spectrum for a 23watt in the 2700K spectrum to provide a wider range of light. We read that the lack of red spectrumed light can cause extra stem growth, and we wanted to avoid that.
"OY!"

You should be fine with the extra leaves. I have a Jack the Ripper right now that has double rows of leaves. Like, leaf fingers stacked on leaf fingers. Really weird, never seen anything like it. The other Jack I popped doesn't sprout leaves regularly, instead of two, it sprouts three of everything.

Subcool (the breeder) did say in his notes on the strain that this one tends to have funky grow characteristics.

Everything is looking fine. When your next set of leaves are formed, start them at 1/4 strength nutes.

We figured that the extra leaf was a good thing, I mean, realistically, how can more energy into the plant be bad? I think we are going to pick up some nutes today, not sure what kind yet, I suppose we'll ask the guy at the hydro shop what he thinks. We'll start at 1/4th, but should we do that ever watering, or once a week, or mist it on the leaves? Whats the best way to water? We are still a little unsure about that to be honest. We just sorta mist em with a water bottle whenever the soil looks dry or their leaves look dry.
Thanks for the input K, you should upload a picture of your mutant!

And yes, we did name them... All of them. :-D

Turns out our little girl Rosie Cotton had a little suprise in store for us! Her second leaf set has four leaves on one side and five on the other!!! From one to a four/fiver! These babies love our lights! We are so pumped to watch the grow continue!

On a potentially scarier note: We just noticed some discoloration of sorts on some of our leaves. We are thinking, "Mold?" but we are not sure! Pictures of the problem included! Feel to help out! We insist! :p

Lol, I don't really see any problems in your pics man. Not to tell you to not watch out for problems, but, you really have to be trying to F*** 'em up good when you're doing organics in soil.

I'm going to try to find a link to this one thread you absolutely need to read before you go spend $$$ on nutes. Ima go find it.

Also, hit up the Mad Hatter and congratulate him on getting the moderator position for the outdoor forum.

Thanks for stopping by K! I think the white spots were just a little paranoia on our part, hehehe, silly hobbits. Our babies are looking amazing, today is their two week anniversary. I feel that a photo shoot is in order. We already have 7 finger leaves forming. All in all, we think the babies are loving the box! We were going to try to LST, but with our inexperience and what have you, we didn't get around to doing it! So, to compensate we got another 65 watt CFL and installed in along the front panel wall. Now instead of trying to LST and maximize light from one source, we can just let em grow natural and they will maximize light from both sources! Temp inside the box hasn't changed, and we have 4100 more lumens for our babies to eat up! They're loving it! We've got all sorts of undergrowth on every node! We're truly proud of our box! We are trying to grow the best pot in all the Shire!

I was trolling around the forums today and lookin at some pics and lookin at our babies, and realized, those little white spots we had forming were actually very slight nute burn. I started flushing immediately, and they will get nothing but regular water for the next three waterings, at which time, i will try regular strength nutes again as they were BARELY burned by it at this stage. Probably just a little too much considering its fresh soil. All in all, our babies are looking amazing. Its the two week anniversary since they hit the soil and they've already got their second set of 7's showing.
