1st Grow Bomb Bagweed

[stully]

Thanks Ms. Fox hopefully I can get the pics up tonight.

So i transplanted last night is it normal to be a bit saggy today? If so, how long should the saggyness last? I figured I would lose 3-4 days of growth, but I didn't expect her to look so sad today. She is not discolored or wilting, just a bit saggy. What can I do to revive. The soil is PH 6.5, the moisture is around 6 and the soil temp is around 75. I tranplanted with FFOF and used a water/superthrive mix. Approximately 2 drops to 26 oz. The temp of the GR is 78. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I said f it and put 6 Magic Crystal in the pellets. See what happens. I've been having bad luck with the MC

Still these magic crystal are a pain in my ass. I did find out that they are over 2 years old., but only one has shown any sign of growth. It hasn't popped the surface yet, but it should soon. Anybody ever use these little pellet thingys. When I plant them, should I cut that thin piece of stuff that holds the soil into its shape, or can I just put the whole pellet in my soil? My smallest plant is all droopy today, I think I overwatered it, it's kinda saggy hopefully it will recover before the nights over. Also, I had an HPS 400 watt running on an 18/6 and I thought I had my flouro hooked up to the timer, but it was running for 24 so I unhooked that today, so I will now have a true dark period. Not sure how I missed this for so long, the dark cycle is when I'm at work, but I noticed the new plants stretching, which made no sense untill I figure the light situation out. I will keep the flouro off until I need to supplement. I also have two CFL's that will go on the bottoms and sides when the plants get big enough to need them.

So i had to scratch some of the pots tonight. I got four left, with 6 magic crystal in the pellets. Hope they pop up soon. I think most of the seeds are fucked though. Stay tuned for pics.

Quick update, 4 of the 6 Magic Crystals are showing signs of life. I think I like using this method better than the paper towel method. I think the weed likes it better too.

Hey Stully. Your quest here rang my chimes because I've just now sprouted six for six bagseeds. Put them down the hole in wet rockwool starter cubes Saturday, and they're up and reaching now. I do sprouts the minimalist way possible and get real good results, but I think seeds are a necessary evil and try to work with mamas mostly. They'll give you what they've got when you give them everything they need but no more than that.

hey thanks for stoppin by. I have had pretty bad luck with seeds so far. I'm batting like 8 for 20, but in my defense most of the seeds were pretty old over two years, and the one from my bag, the only new one has sprouted and is my biggest. I think I will be doing these pucks in the future if I have to. I am going to try to keep a mother from one of these magic Crystals if I get one to mature and I also think I might try a double harvest method I just read about(i'll explain more about this when I have the time). But thank for stopping by and keep up I can use all the advice/mojo I can get.

Quick update. I have a bit of a temp issue. My temp gets up to high 80 when the light is on. And this is with the closet door open and a fan blowin in the room. I do not have the money for the ventilation that I need, so I am considering goin back to flouro do veg. Also I got family coming into town next week and I will have to seal the room, so I will def be on the flouro's for a few days. Doesnts anybody think the plants will have a neg reaction with the significant loss of lumens. also doe's anybody have any cheap of free ideas to cool my space?

Thanks man. I wasn't quite sure.

So quick update for you, i got family comin to vist this week, so the room had to get sealed and made invisible. unfortunately, this mean I got to shut the HPS off. I got 2 CFL's today, 1500 lumens a piece. They are both daylight, or whatever it's called. I also still have my 4" flouro's. I sealed the room off with a white shower curtain backed up with black trash bags. The humidity has shot up to like 70% but the heat is down about 6 or 7 degrees. I should be able to get the HPS back up on Wed evening. Also, next week I should be going to HTG supply and getting an inline with a carbon filter. My room is roughly 60 cubic feet. I think the 4" 150 cfm will be enough to solve any heat and smell problems. I found a good package for about $130. Other then that, I got 4 Magic Crystals that are officially seedlings! I have put all but 1 into their first pot, the last one will go in after the family leaves on wed. They all look fairly healthy. An little stretched, but not as bad as alot I see. They got their serated leaves coming in. Also, I had an accident with my beaster plant, but I replanted and it is lookin good. It has the thickest stem I ever seen on a seedling. It has these crazy white hairs all over the stem and it is such a deep dark green color. Also it looks very oily, it like glistens under the light. That takes my total plant count to 8 with 2 additional possibilities in the pellets still(I said f it and put the last 2 MC in the pellets), so thats gives me 4 guarenteed females of some pretty good quality weed. I still don't know too much about the Magic Crystal, but I will do some research soon. The last thing I got coming up is a new idea I picked up from an Ed Rosenthal book, I am gonna start spraying the plants with a salt free seltzer for a little bit of CO2. We'll she how well it works. I am starting to plan out my clone room. I am gonna use my 15watt growlight flouro for it. I am gonna get one of them cheap little greenhouses. I don't know if I should put a heating pad under it or not, and I am still not sure what type of medium i will use. Probably some type of peat pellet or rockwool(by the way, you can plaant the rockwool in soil right after the clone has rooted?)Also, I will be making some reflective adjustments to the grow room in the next few weeks. I'm not going to use Mylar, I'm gonna use the aluminum stuff that looks like bubble wrap. It's cheaper and easier to maintain.
