Well it's certainly cool looking Ill be watching this one close. the idea of some of this mixed into another medium like perlite is interesting as well. like Hempys that dont need watering as often. Just thinking anyway

I have never heard of Bio-gel but very very interesting stuff. I did a bit of reading on it and it sounds like pretty cool stuff. Seeing as it has time release vitamins & minerals that are supposed to go directly to the plant's root system. Do you plan on keeping you seedling in this medium? or do you plan on mixing in soil as well?
I like your set up..... I am actually going to convert my cupboard into a grow cabinet for my seedlings. This is my first grow indoor so everything is a work in progress so far.

looks interesting, I will tag along.

Well im not sure what to do if i should transfer it when its older to some other kind of medium, im gonna see how it reacts to this type of method and go from there , and yea cabinets are perfect spaces for seedlings they work great...

Okay guys quick update, the Plant was not growing at all in the biogel stuff so I had to put it back on soil and the first set of leaves is finally coming out. I think I stressed the plant too much will that make it higher chances of becoming a male?

 

[ThatOneGuyy]

There are plenty of factors that can have a male but I don't think that stress is the main cause of becoming a male. I have been reading into that and it just seems kinda strange to thing about it that way .

Most plant that go through a veg and flower state have both male and female parts and cannabis is one of those plants that are gender specific. I think gender is based on the genetics within the seed itself.

 

[Stutzy]

Sorry the biogel didnt work out man Keep us posted on the soil grow and good luck bud

 

[quemasmiami]

Ohhh okay cool good to hear.... but yea the plant was not doing good at all in bio gel I had to replant it in regular soil and now its finally starting to grow again for some reason the first set of leafs is 3 points

 

[ThatOneGuyy]

The first sets of leaves will be three-fingered for about two nodes up. after, they will come to a point that's five-fingers. They are perfectly natural

 

[quemasmiami]

Okay guys just a quick update sorry for the long wait.... as I said the biogel was a total failure the plant did not like it at all and it was dying so i transfered it to soil and planted another one... i figured it would feel lonely anyways enough with the talk here are some pics

COMMENT,ADVICE,RATE!!!
CHEERS

 

[quemasmiami]

Support would be apreciated

 

[ThatOneGuyy]

Hey Sorry I haven't been around. They look very twisted and a tad deprived. What kind of lighting do you have and light schedule are you using?

I would suggest moving your lights closer so they don't stretch as much. The smaller you can keep them now and the better off you will be. A tight node structure is very important. I'm not too sure what is causing the extreme deformation but all you can do now is just maintain the plants give them the light and ventilation they need and just move forward from there

How are they looking? Did they make it? I hope its goin well

 

[Stutzy]

So whats the word bud?
