Hey and Welcome!
Congrats on the little, wee ones you have started! They look good. Get them potted asap. Yes they could use some light. Even a couple of CFLs would work fine at this point.
Peace and happy growing.

A quick update guys

Well hello my lovely afners thought I would post a quick update of my little ones...
Propagation not going too well after six days 40% are going great got their 2nd set of leaves 30% have broken the surface and the remaining 30% are still down there.
Im using a large domed propagator with heat mat holding a steady 78f or 26c under 100w light I was hoping to do them all together in one batch but looks like 3 batches one week apart. germination looked pretty even so I am a bit puzzled as to why now they are worlds apart??

Well things have been hard who ever said growing was easy. having a hard time keeping things ( temp air flow etc.) regulated but I will not give up!! these babies are now 2weeks old and I'm transplanting today so thought I would give a quick photo update before they start growing up rapidly. love to you all xx

but I will not give up!!

That's the spirit Slim!! ^_^

That's a nice lotta little ones! Thanks for the update!!

Definitely give them light. If nothing else it helps keep them warm. My grow is just CFLs since they've been in the ground and it's doing great!

thanks guys going to give them their first nut feed today that should perk those beauties up

well things are going great, put them in their new tent!!! (from secret jardin) the tent is a pile of pants had to tape up little tiny pin holes and re hem the zips as light leakage!! oh well you live and learn...Think I might of burnt them with the lights to start, a jump from 100watts to 800watts shocked them to almost death so removed one 400watt light (that was a week ago) gave them some revitalize foliage feed at night and now they look okay. After they got their colour back somewhat I started a weak nut feed using canna coco (50ml per plant)
2days ago I increased the wattage back to 800 they are reaching for the sky!! now I am running full strength nutes and feeding time at the zoo has doubled too 100ml with intentions to increase again in the next day or two....Eagerly awaiting pre-flower and beginning to think about trimming for yield??




peace out y'all xx

Hi guys just a quick question, I brought my seeds from a well recognised bank (feminized) and a male has shown. Is that normal? now I'm worried as they are entering the pre flowering phase will more and more pop up...:no:
