A new grower

[daddygreenthumb]

Hello I have started to grow white widow for my first batch/time. All 5 seeds grew a good root 100%. One seed was a little slow but just kept on the paper towel with water an extra day or two and he came out too. . .

60% Indica/Sativa

Vegetative state approx. 4 inches tall

seedlings are approx. 11 days old

Do I need to stake the seedlings as they get taller and taller for support?

At what point can I move the seedlings out to my greenhouse in the backyard? It is at least 85 to 95 degrees with high humidity on a regular basis.

Do a lot of you guys fertilize how often? And what brand do you use. . .

Thanks for the great advice

Welcome to 420 Magazine, I would move them outside very soon. If they’re stretching and need support then they need more light. Are you using soil then what soil are you using or are you using coco/peat moss?

 

[daddygreenthumb]

Hello Pennywise. I am currently just using a soil that an area a greenhouse makes up and sells.

What would be the ratio for mixing peat moss to coco? Is coco widely available?

Have a great day Pennywise and thanks for the info.

I use straight coco I usually buy off Amazon. Coco you need to feed/water everyday so consider it a form of hydro.

If you trust the greenhouse to have solid soil, then you won't need much for nutrients for at least the first month. If you are in a GH, consider the largest fabric pot that suits your setup...bigger pots=more soil=more roots=more water retention=bigger plant=bigger yield. I grow in a GH and my max temp today was 109F because it was 95F here...the plants are fine...but I also use big pots.

No... if seedlings are stretching too much, either fill pot with little more soil or dig out with your hand (minimal root at 11days, you won't damage) and plant a little deeper...

At what point can I move the seedlings out to my greenhouse in the backyard? It is at least 85 to 95 degrees with high humidity on a regular basis.

at start of season, once days become longer.. if you have plants vegging inside and planting into ground, sweet spot is Start of last month of spring, won't reveg and soil warm enough, wont stall..

Do a lot of you guys fertilize how often? And what brand do you use. . .

in ground, good soil, seaweed and microbe juice... Fortnightly...
pots, organic feed, grow and bloom... Fortnightly...

Thanks for the great advice

edit; fortnightly = 2 weeks

Hello maaaate. Welcome!
If you're using soil Id give it like two weeks from sprout especially if the leaves are looking a nice and healthy lush green still. As they start to lighten up start introducing nutes slowly. I usually go water-feed-water

Hi Daddy... sorry there's something wrong with saying it like that...hiya Thum!

Thanks for all of the tips, guys! I am doing 2 WW Autos outdoors in pots with standard potting soil with about 20% Hydroton since I had a big bag of it on hand. They just broke soil yesterday. I was banned from spending any more money on this one. So this is my cheap 'use up crap' grow in honour of Canada's coming legalization.

And Welcome to 420 daddygreenthumb.

Welckme aboard @daddygreenthumb ! You got great advice above from solid growers and when it comes to greenhouse grows @Blew Hiller is the man. 4 inches tall already I would agree the are stretching looking for light, so you probably will need to stake them till their trunks fill out and harden up.

Hello everyone.

Here is a picture of my plants before repotting and moving out to the greenhouse, let me know what you think?

Do you have a picture of them now reported?

 

[Blew Hiller]

At that size I would put them in indirect sunlight...

What are they in before you repotted them?

What are they in before you repotted them?

Looks like little jiffy pots in McDonald’s cups.
