This is my 1st attempt to grow with Super Skunk and Gold Leaf.
I started them in jiffy pellets and pots. Mix my own soil (buy cheap soil then mix in my good sand, perlite, peat moss, cow dung with an actual fish that disintegrates while waiting for a plant).
Have lost 6 Super Skunk by either them not popping or popped and were super stretched.
My new seedlings started stretching within days so had to âfixâ them by adding dirt around the stems. They seem to be accepting but are slow.
Am outdoor grower who is disabled and on a very tight budget Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated.:sunglasses
Yes have been very careful with the amount of water and where.
Will do a ring instead of around the plants stem. Makes sense.
What about the time to put them in the sun?
STRONGLY SUGGEST you buy a PH n PPM Meter setâŚ$20 online.
Flying blind without.
I tried regular dirtâŚnot so good results. I ended up going to DWC as I cannot afford $200 in use once or twice growing media. With DWCâŚ5 gallon buckets, aerator, lights and 4x4 tentâŚgets me going. After that the only expense is good quality nutes and water.
Dun have to spend big bucks to grow. Do have to go tru the learning curve as to what works best for your unique situation and your needs.
Hey buddy if they are stretching they need more sunlight, i live in south texas we have similar climates, your seedling will do fine in full morning sun a couple hours at a time, they will adjust, jusy monitor them and make sure theylook happy. I start mine as soon as they pop out
Listen to the crabman. Early morning sun and a bit of the evening wont kill em. Just ease them (hour or so a day) into more intense as they grow.
Also wicked and tan are correct. PH PH PH. Wicked important. The soil ph pens are ineffective. U can get a cheapo but 25-30 bucks gets u comfort n peace of mind. Invaluable tool.
And most importantly enjoy it. They are ur babies. And as we all know⌠âthey grow up so quickly! â
The 1st try I used blue light to sprout in jiffy pellets and then they stretched almost over night, so do believe putting therm outside asap is the answer. Also too much peat moss and then over watered, once planted was another problem. Learning curve.
Water doesnât cause any problems, if u mist early in thd morning around 6am or late in the afternoon affter sundown, i always give my girls a bath with aloe water in the afternoon and spray them with neem oil or organocide once a week as a preventative, i couldnât imagine morning dew affecting my plants, we having been growing outdoors for years witho a problem, after a big down pour i shake every bud on the plant so it dont cause bud rot, outside is a good choice if you dont have a good light indoors, seedling will adapt and stop stretching
I wouldnât feed her anything, it seem like your have your soil prepped with some amendments all ready. Also if its still has its cotyledon that supplies the seedling with food for now, just water
