    First Grow - A Seed and A Dream

    Well it has been a week since I wrote my first post on this grow. Being a noob I was real worried when my seedling wasn't doing anything. Thanks to the gang here at RIU, they told me to just chill MF'er, and that the seedling will grow. Well it has. Not much, but after a week the first fan...

    First Grow - A Seed and A Dream

    Thanks Prot3us1 for your feedback !!! Very helpfull. I had this seedling at an "undisclosed location" this week. But on Friday I took it to my place to keep a close eye on it. I know, my post sounds like I am freaking out. My previous seedling, which is the same strain as this one, was...

    Wats wrong with my seeds

    Granted I am a noob.... But what has always worked for me was to wet a paper towel with distilled water, place the seeds on it, fold the paper towel aroundthe seeds, place it in a plastic szip-lock bag with the zip lock partially open. Place the bag in a dark warm place. In 72 hours I had...

    Slow growth seedling. 24/0 instead of 18/6 lighting

    Hey all, I have a slow growing seedling. Am currently running my lights 18/6 (because that apparently is what you are supposed to do). But since it is growing so slow, can I amp up the growth by leaving the lights on for 24 hours constant? I have 4, 26W 6500 CFLs on this little seedling...

    First Grow - A Seed and A Dream

    Thanks for all your comments so far. The seedling was looking good this morning (5/1). The fan leaves have grown perhaps an 1/8 of an inch since this time yesterday morining. Although the fan leaves look almost like a bright green or florescent green. It is getting too much of a certain...

    First Grow - A Seed and A Dream

    I had one seed and germinated it last Friday. It was ready on Monday (4/27) so I planted it in soil. It sprouted and as of yesterday AND this morning (4/30) it looks like this. I am concerned cause it has not shown any growth since it poped its leaves out of the soil on Wed morning. It has been...

    noob looking for some advice on my first grow =)

    Go to Target to get 6500K CFL's. The Home Depot by me only has 5500K and from what I hear they aren't as good as the 6500K. Got to Target.

    Soaking rockwool before using...

    Old Pothead: Man you are right. I started two seedlings using rockwool in a hydro system. They initially looked great and then a few days later they looked all dried up. I just had my second one yesterday do this to me. You are right, there isnt enough moisture getting to the roots. Aside...

    Soaking rockwool before using...

    I had a seedling and it started off looking real good then it started to look real bad. I read on another post that you should soak your rockwool overnight before using. If you don't your PH will climb and keep climbing. I am using a hydroponic setup constanly monitoring my PH and did...

    What am I doing wrong?

    Thanks Morris. I just keep hearing to get the light close to the seedling so it doesn't stretch. That is what I did by I think it ended up drying up the rockwool. I'll try the humidity dome.

    What am I doing wrong?

    First time grower here. This happened twice and for some reason I dont know what is happening. I germinated a seedling, put it in rockwool. It sprouted and showed it's first set of leaves (other than the round ones). It seemed to not grow fast although looked very healthy. This morning...

    CFL Lights: 5500K or 6500K or does it matter?

    First time grower here. HD has 5500K CFL's, which is by my house. They don't have 6500k, Target does have 6500K. should I get the 6500K or the 5500K, or does it not make much of a difference. The are for veg. Thanks in advance for your feedback.

    Seedling not looking good...should I start over?

    I've read several posts with people having the same problem as me but thought I'd put my own up. First time grower here..... I germinated a seed, once germinated I planted it in rockwool. Watered it with distilled water. Seedling looked real good. Using a 6,500K CFL. Light schedule is 18/6...
