My First Vert

Taken from my pineapple clone. See the White dots? The odd patches on the leaves? What do we have here then?

Do they? I wasn't aware of that, at least I hvent seen them locally.

Here's the response I got from maxigrow:


"The Maxibright Daylight 315W Ballast (blue anodised case) is a square wave digital ballast, designed to optimally run the 315W CMH lamps.


I lines that you see on the camera could not prove if it is a magnetic or digital ballast. It would be technically very difficult to make a magnetic ballast that runs the lamp at the correct frequency and square wave.


Thanks

Bill."

The fuckers just lied to you. The lines on the digital photo are showing it ISN'T a square wave ballast, not that it's magnetic!

Not too sure why sapphire OG has folded in half there.. I opened the humidity dome vents slightly today, maybe that? I also put the 8w Heater on for a few hours, possibly that too? Either way ive turned off the heater (which didn't even feel that warm anyway) and ive taken the dome off, what was I thinking?
Definite damping off.

Should I water with H2o2? Or just leave it to dry out ?

You may have too much light and too far away from the plants, causing them to stretch. Do you ever put a fan on them to get the plants to move and help strengthen the stems? Those are thing I am seeing, I hope it helps.

So during the day they are just in the sunlight. And when the sun goes down i place them around 1 ft away from a 125w bulb (out side of the tent though)

I don't put a fan on them, I lift the dome a few times a day and give the stems a little flick.

The long stems are a side effect of me not getting them out the towel quick enough :(
 
So I have burnt main colas annoyingly.

Pineapple I did a while back (it grew into the bulb) and tangie a few days ago.

What the actual fuck? Next time hang a 23W spiral cool white CFL an inch or so above your seedlings. They won't stretch like that.

I left them in the paper towels too long, they germinated so much faster than any other strains ive had I don't mind the long stem, once they get some roots they'll perk up.
 
I hope your right, never seen them be very successful starting like that,,
Then again, don't know your plan for this next grow, your could be right on.

They've perked up already since being in their 3" cubes. I always seem to germinate lanky plants. When I first started I only had a 600w HPS so Id transfer them from paper towel to the bottom edge of the tent and they'd stretch.. Ive forgotten about plenty of seeds when waiting to germ in the past too. I only just remembered today that I had an afghan kush Ryder (autoflowers) that took a while longer to pop, I'll take a picture of it tomorrow for you (roots were around 4 inches long) im sure it'll be fine.. Fingers crossed.

So far the most trichomes ive ever grown. I believe someone mentioned that underside trichomes are a sign of happy plants, so mine must be over the moon.

Both pictures are Pineapple Express, on the bottom larfy buds. PE is certainly the frostier of the two
