Didimauw's first time bagseed grow

[Kolumboboi]

Yeah heat is good for roots but the leaves feed from light whether it's sun or bulb it will take light and convert light and nut into glucose and that's food so that lamp is ok for seedlings but when it gets bigger you want something with a higher lumens

 

[didimauw]

could i just add more bulbs?

 

[Kolumboboi]

Yeah but you will lose a lot of light give me a second I'll see if I can get a web site to better explain myself

 

[AmGrowR]

You could definitely @dd more bulbs @s long @s you c@n control the he@t with f@ns @nd stuff. The more light, the better!!!

 

[didimauw]

alright! sounds good! thanks for the info guys! ill keep you updated

 

[Kolumboboi]

Alright take pics

 

[didimauw]

okay for one, heres what the light looks like top view for my two little plants...

and heres the plants inside the box...the one on the left still isint growing but i have an idea...

what if i carefully took the little plant out of the pot that its in, and placed it inside a peat pellet...would that be good or bad? im not even sure if its planning on growing at all anymore, so maybe i should give it a shot, and see what happens

 

[didimauw]

alright, so i decided to try to save that little plant, and i dug it out, and carefully removed the dirt from the little roots, and put it into a moist peat pellet, and put it back under the light. it didnt seem like the plant was dead yet, i think the dirt was too thick for the roots to go any where. hopefully it will have better luck in the soft pellet, if its not already too late.

 

[AmGrowR]

Gre@t job, buddy!!! The soil did look kind of thick/muddy in the pic. Hopefully this works for the little g@l @nd if not, hey, th@t's how you get experience!!! So if your going to go with cfl lighting I'd recommend the 68w bulbs. I h@d @ 42w. You should be golden with 2 or 3 bulbs per pl@nt. They're @bout 15$ @ piece. The 2700k @re @pp@rently best for flowering if you @lre@dy st@rted 12/12. Keep it up, buddy.

 

[didimauw]

hey thanks for the info @mgrower! lol ill probably be getting some more bulbs in a few days or so. im just going to need to find a couple of those adapters that let you plug lightbulbs directly into an outlet, like a power strip. i can find them online, but i dont wanna wait that long. i looked at walmart, and at no avail, but they probably have them at like home depot right?

 

[didimauw]

alright, one more update, ive discovered, and i should just buy some damn potting soil lol the dirt from my back yard is really thick, almost like clay, and plants wont grow in it... see example A: (plant second to the left) {these were all planted at the same time}

but then again. i have 3 other plants, that are in the same dirt and are growing just fine...idk guys...i just dont know

 

[AmGrowR]

The soil looks better in those pics. Do you h@ve @ f@n blowing on them? It would help the soil dry out quicker, definitely did for me.

 

[didimauw]

no, currently for my little gro box i dont have a fan with them, ill probably pick up another computer fan, like in my other container

 

[AmGrowR]

Ye@ there you go. They got little ones, like 5-6 in. f@ns @T W@llyWorld if you got the money. I used @ bigger oscill@ting f@n on mine @nd found out the @ir circul@tion is necces@ry, @s the pl@nts growth took off.

 

[didimauw]

yeah, they're real good for thick stems ive learned

 

[AmGrowR]

Check this out. I put the f@n in the d@y I tied it up to @ stick.First timer experience growing grow

 

[didimauw]

today im going to run to true value, and pick up some potting soil, and some smaller square pots. i heard square is better?

 

[AmGrowR]

I'm re@lly not sure if the sh@pe m@tters? I used cylindric@l ones. Wh@t kind of soil @re you pl@nning on? I'd gr@b up some perlite too.

 

[didimauw]

hey amgrower, nice plant ya had there! too bad it was a male tho!

 

[didimauw]

ummm im not sure really, would i be bad if i bought the self fertilizing kind? i just want something other than outside dirt.
do u have another grow journal going amgrower?
