maintaining 64% humidity @ 84 degrees.

So lets get started. First let me give a special thanks to Faded187, Pops22, Waria, green bandit, Asteel and chester oh and Muddy.:hug: thanks for your guidance so far and your journals.

Of course thanks AFN without this site i would still be just thinking of growing."AFN smoke out"

So to start i soaked the pots with 1ml/root juice per liter of Ro aerated water. i let them sit in the box to warm up and dial in my Rh/Temps. 2 days later i soaked my ladies in shot glasses the first to crack was the BSR 2 hours later the LR and the LH was cracked. Then straight into pots about first knuckle deep.

On the second day after planting the BLS showed herself and my first problem! she decided to grow sideways along the surface that was in the morning when i got home from work she was laying from her leaves to the end of her root was laying on the surface completely exposed. so i picked her up and redug the hole and planted her again up to hr leaves.

This is her today 2 days later
growing like a champ!
She is smaller then her sister that broke ground the same time i was replanting her.

Her sister LR was next to appear she shot up fast with a bit of stretch so i rigged up 2 cfls each to go 2" above my beauties.

Here she is





MY LH broke ground yesterday and still looks the same today she will not stand up take a look at her let me know what you think?





well that's all for now. Oh I did lightly water around the babies, the pots are drying out i'm just focusing around the stems in the starter mix.

Thanks for reading and I hope you subscribe I'm sure i"ll need your help.

:banghead:

Thanks friends

This is the start of the 3rd day and my LH has still not turned up towards the light. She has 2 cfls 2" above her.
She still looks like her picture above.

Does anybody have any thoughts on her as to what might be wrong?

Thanks

Actually she does look different she's turned purple from her stem to her cotyledons

 

[redrobbo]

Raise your lights a bit.see if that helps straighten her out.

 

[Fantasy Island]

Ok good idea I'll move them up to about 6"

Ok my LH has still not turned up to the lights it's been 4 days in the same position. It is also very dark purple. I did notice 2 tips of green leaves poking out past the cotyledons. She's taking up valuable real estate not sure if I should give up on her our not. Really need some suggestions.

Also my pots are completely dry except around the babies when should I water the whole pot? The two that are growing good have the beginning of their second set of leaves.

Youre roots need to look for water at this stage,not be sitting in it.
Basicly you want the opposite of what youve got now,so your roots will go looking for water and grow
outwards.
I water round the edge of the pot,to make the roots seek out water.
You dont need any run off yet.
