Howdy, fine gentleman. A quick outdoor growing question: by Cyril Gollypet - Fri, 17 May 2013 07:57:03 EST ID:z4UVmXMy No.125206 Ignore Report Reply Quick Reply

I recently germinated my Swiss Cheese seeds using the plate and paper towel method. Fortunately, all six of my seeds (including one lone indica I got for free) sprouted roots. Unfortunately, as I planted them into some Miracle Gro potting mix this morning, I noticed that they had grown exceptionally long roots, and that for some, the seedling had almost parted the two halves of the seed that cracked.

I'm wondering if I didn't leave them in the plate for too long. Perhaps they were too mature to be planted. Anyways, I'm a bit worried about my babies, and I really hope they survive. They're outdoor seeds so I'll be putting them on a windowsill in my hot, humid room.

Please 420chan, tell me, did I fuck up?

Here's the guide I used: http://sensiseeds.com/en/blog/best-way-to-germinate-seeds/

I believe theres's no such thing as to long you can grow these lovely plants in anything aslong as they have their neutrients so just keep a good eye make sure they all grow up and they will be fine.

Ive had some grow tap roots up to 200mm and standing 150mm high before planting and they grew wonderfully

They should be fine right now.

Don't worry though, you planted it in MG instead of pro-mix/happy frog/lighly amended peat - so your plant wil be completely fucked soon enough

Pretty sure I grow wonderful dope using MG garden soil for years. I don't care for their fertilizer, though I've known people to use it and still get good results. Happy Frog is nice though, I'm trying out a blend of ocean forest/happy frog soils on a couple plants this year.

I just found about 10 seeds in my bubble gum kush. I have never grown before, i would be growing outside under a 10feet off the ground trampoline would that be enough sun light goign threw how long do they grow for, how often do i water and how hard is it to mask the smell because my friend was telling me that it will stink 10 times of any skunk

you sound like you should do some research with google first, then come here with your specific question. If you have to ask if it will smell and how to hide it outside, you're probably not ready. and no, there wont be enough light to survive, you need at least 8-10 hours of direct sunlight or it will stretch and never grow buds.

So I started my first grow, so far I am germinating 3 sets of seeds one seed is purple kush, i have 2 OG kush seeds I started germinating today and a hand full of mid grade seeds I threw into one paper towel.

I put each damp paper towel into a airtight ziplock freezer bag separated and put them in my boiler room which as my drier exhaust also so it gets nice and warm and humid in there. After about 3 days I checked on them and I seen the seeds had a blackish hue around them so I checked on them the mid grade seeds were already sprouted and had 1inch long roots so I planted a few and left the rest (don't have soil atm).

The purple seed wasn't sprouted yet so I left it but I checked again today and there seems to be allot of mold spots on the paper towel not where the seed is but in random areas and red colors, there is also some mold spots on the mid-seeds towel.

Should I be worried about this mold? and will it effect my plants?

Also one of the mid-seeds completely sprouted out of the seed and grew leaves should I bother planting this or is it too late? like I mentioned this is my first attempt at growing.

Damn the people in this thread are nuts

>no light on tap root
neither with the paper towel method either genius
>no lag time between towel/medium waiting on brothers/sisters to pop,
Yeah the seedlings never lag in growth. They don't stop growing while waiting to be transferred to a medium.
Not everyone plants 200 seeds, because that would be fucking retarded (for obvious random pheno reasons) and there is a technique called cloning now adays if you've never heard of it before. Therefore, you don't need to 'wait for brothers/sisters' to pop whatever the fuck that means
>immediate immersion in microbial life, ect.
Whatever the fuck this means; the etc was amusing since you couldn't manage to make up any other bullshite.


I don't germ seeds too often, but when I do - I use science to help pop them in record times. Scarification -> 12 hour shotglass soak -> 6-12 hour paper towel - done. Into rooter plugs

There's nothing wrong with being a savage and just dropping the seeds into the dirt, do whatever you want

Tap roots are fragile, the paper towel method necessitates handling them. That transition is a chance for you to fux the tap root. You guys are such raging fags, I mention a simple alternative to what isn't working for OP and you all berate and insist that OP continue using what is fuxing his gro up.

>Tap roots are fragile, the paper towel method necessitates handling them.
No it doesn't, you put the seeds on individual small pieces of paper towel. When the taproot has popped, you simply bend the paper towel into a small U and tip it so it drops into the spot. Simple, no damage what so ever

>simple alternative to what isn't working for OP
It's not working because OP can't follow simple directions and wonders why shit hits the fan for him. Not checking on a very damp paper towel, that is sealed in a plastic bag in a warm place for THREE days. Does he even give a fuck at this point? Or is he trying to create a mold farm?

Taproots do grow into the paper towel from time to time, which doesn't help. Dropping the seen right into soil prevents that from happening in the first place. you need to chill good sir and smoke a bowl.

I took all the sprouted seeds and planted them, they seem to be doing better now I took out the ones that had mold on the actual seeds, and also planted the OG seeds after germinating them for about half a day.

So I recently got the opportunity to help supply another collective in my area, which is a good thing for sure. The thing is i will need another hand for obvious reason, as I can not do all soil amending and watering,etc,...

My problem is There are only a handfull of people who know I grow, but dont know where. If you had to choose b/w a sibling or a lifelong best friend to help, which one would be your first choice. Keep in mind none of them have ever been in trouble with the law so they wouldnt attract any outside attention.

My friend tried to set up an aquaponics tank 2 years ago. It turned out to be a huge pain in the ass. At first there wasn't enough nutrients being produced for his plants, so he added more fish. Then the fish got sick and died in their own poop. It might be cool for a science fair, but it's not really practical for growing stuff.

Ive been growing this OG kush plant and it is in its 5~ week of flowering

What I would like to know is what is the temp to achieve this?

It's highly dependent on genetics. I some outdoor NL5 go down to 5c and there was only purpling on the edges of the leaves and buds/new growth. In the end looking at the finished buds, it wasn't really worth it.

so i over watered my marijuana plants today and it is quite apparent that i did. they have started to droop and the soil is MUCH too moist. what can i do to save them? is there a 100 percent chance they are going to die? should i just not water them for 2-3 days? how can i help dry the soil out faster (out doors btw) if there is a way ? im thinking about poking holes in the soil so more air gets into the soil and drys it out but im out of ideas other then that. someone please help. i dont want my babies to die :(

No. Watering them every day is way too often. Wait until the top layer of soil dries out and the leaves perk up between waterings.

no, unless its 100 degress in the direct sun, do not water it everyday, get some mulch to put around base of plant and it will retain water longer, I live in GA, where it gets over 100 almost every other day in the summer, and i never have to water less than every 2-3 days.

Keep in mind wind plays a huge factor in how fast the soil dries up, especially the top layer. I always start out by giving them a little more then as they get bigger I stress them as they can retain more water.

First you want to pour molasses, the most viscous molasses you can find, around the base of each one. This will help the roots be less shocked from the transplant. Then simply dig with your little doggy paws, uproot those babies and put them in a liter cola, wait 6 to 10 buisiness days and there you have it, marijuano.

Sorry for the horrible quality photo.. But anyway, It's a moby dick, transplanted last week and I think this might be remaining damage from having waited too long in transplanting it into its final soil. I know the moby dick strain is very picky about it's ph qualities, the soil I use is a 10,12,10 NPK and 6,5-7,5PH, which I usually mix with earthworm castings and horse manure. This has been very rewarding for my previous generations but I worry that it won't sustain the moby strain.

The higher the PH the less micronutrients my plant has access too, and apparently the iron defficiency is very common for this strain in high PH soils.

What can I do about it that doesn't take a long time to take affect?
Or do you think it could be something else?

Thanks in advance.

This is a WBS jar I have been colonising for 30 days. Its seemed to be taking a long time, now I have that growth over 100% of the jar whereas before it was only appearing in patches. Other pictures I have seen of 100% colonized jars, the jars look completely milky white as if someone got a handfull of snow and dumped it in a jar. Mine dont look like that, but as its my first attempt Im not sure if this is enough to be considered 100%

The yellow and other off-color patches are just bird seed btw


tl;dr - If I have white growth over 100% of the grain, is that ready? Or Do I have to wait till it looks like Ive got a jar of milk sitting there?

when the jar reaches 20% colonization, you should shake it to distribute the mycelium through the entire jar. if you don't do this, there is no way of knowing if the center of your jar is colonized. your jar looks useable now and i would use it now.

the cottony growth habit of that mycelium is not ideal. it should look like pic attached.
