Seeds just started coming up, first time growing and look like I have some soldiers. Any suggestions on how to make them grow quicker? I have been going every morning with a jug and watering them. I put human hair around the site to keep animals out. Just cleared more land today for more women
thanks looks like i can some replanting to do. do you guys think being this small right now and using miracle grow they will reach a good size before mid october?
They might get big enuf. What you got to lose? Move them, then mulch them, keep on with the water and be careful with the fertilizer since overferting is the #1 problem plaguing new guys. If a little is good, it don't hold true that a lot must be better.
thanks yeah it says use half a teaspoon for seedlings so i am sticking to that to be safe. now does that mean half per seedling or just in the grow area?
No. Don't fertilize yet. Let them grow a bit and watch the coloring of the leaves to tell you when they need nutes. This is the danger point when they are easily killed through overwatering and over fertilization.
i transplanted them today looks like they all will hold up. I put my skunk #11's in one section space 1.5 -2 ft apart and then the misc that I had saved in a jar in another section. I also sprayed deer and rabbit reppellant it worked good for my home veg garden so I tried it here. Only bad thing is when I was there a deer smelt it and made a weird noise and bugged off. I did use some miracle grow just to safely move them 2-3 small pellets for each one shouldnt hurt it any I will increase the doseage once they get bigger. Cross your fingers for my ladies to survive the move!
Since I transplanted some of the stems of the seedlings starts to lean toward the ground do you guys have any advice on how to get them perky again. The leaves still are nice and green they dont look dead at all. Any help is appreciated. Also how much water does each seedling need per day?
you might have to use somethin to help hold em up a stick, etc. mine were blessed with some wind it helps strengthen them, and as for the watering don't overdue it, you will kill it you gotta let the soil dry out some, let the roots breathe, as they get bigger depending on the heat the watering is different, when i started mine i would water them once every other day, then as they got bigger it turned into once a week, i check by carefully digging in the soil to check if it's wet still or dry, it then turned to every 3 days as the heat picked up, now it's everyday, with the heat, and their flowering, a good cause for killing plants is over watering, they don't need to be soaked all the time they don't like it, just check it and then determine if it needs water, and remember when they get bigger and it's close to bad weather you can always try to force flower, 12/12, good luck.
I used superthrive and they perked up pretty nice. Good stuff. As far as watering goes I have 9 plants all very small how much water do they need.
lol from what ive read, fuct seems like a plant genious. teech me in your ways obiwan!!! *greeeeee!!!* SHUT UP CHEWY!!!. lol i really need some advice though
animals ate two of them and now the rain and storms bent them down to the ground i dont think im doing something right.
Its too late in the season to grow outdoors if your plants havent vegged to at least 2.5 feet or so, sorry man, wait till next year or get a 150 Watt HPS!!!
