I Need help with my mj seedling !!!!

[bujkem]

Hello dear friends!!!!
I am a first time grower , i grow in my closet indoor using CFL lights , i dont really know what kind is my MJ plant i got seed from a friend , today its 6th day since i planted it , and i am not sure how its going is it good or not , thats why i uploaded those three pictures on 6th day of my seedling life, therefore i d like to hear your comments suggestions tips , and your opinion on my plants health if its possible to say by pictures . Thanks a lot !!!!!!!

[OzBud]

looks good to me. What growing medium are you using?

[OzBud]

Ok, I've never grown weed in soil but I'm thinking that soil should hopefully get you through until you have to transplant. Make sure there's lots of drainage in the bottom and that you don't overwater. That size you probably don't want more than about 1 tablespoon at a time and normal tap water should hopefully have enough minerals in it for the seedling for a couple of weeks if there's no nutrients in the soil. Hopefully a soil grower comes along to comment on this thread.

How do you plan to proceed when transplanting?
Things like:
pot type / Size?
Soil & perlite? If so, what sort of soil?
Any soil amendments?
Nutrients?

[bujkem]

if hopefully plant grows big enough for transplantation , i plan to tansplant nto a 1 galoon pot , i didnt think much about process after seedling grow , i could use any suggestion about soil pertile nutrients etc etc , i d like something that s medium to easy for maintenance. i already have seaweed fertilzer and preaty much thats all LOL

[bujkem]

just to add i am not looking forward for massive yield, i ll be satisfied even with 30gr, or even less, considering its my first grow .

[PuravidaC]

Seedling looks fine, maybe streching a bit. What kind of CFL's are you using? May need to put them closer. There is lots of info here to read. Big help!

[Weed Pharma]

You should be happy with that plant. The CFL is already close enough to the plant in the pics shown-
The medium does not provide good drainage from what I see and I would suggest you let it dry out very well before next watering!

[insomniaczzz]

Looks fine to me. You need perlite in your soil though. Have a gently breeze blowing over plant to help make that delicate stem more sturdy.

Thanks a lot guys for your advices and opinion , to be honest i do not know what kind of soil i am using when i took it from bigger pot it looked nice felt like airy . in first three days i just to water it every day (litlle bit) and yesterday i watered with seaweed fertilizer i saw someone was doing it so i tried , think i ll wait at least two more days for next watering . One more question i have when should i transplant my plant into bigger pot what would be wright moment to do so ?

Tnx!!!!!!

[OzBud]

no worries

[bujkem]

OzBud mate, have one question , how bad can be if make transplantation of my seedling lets say in few days, i have think a lot about my situation with my mj, so many thing i am not sure about on example i noticed that my pot is not to tall acctually its only 3inches tall , thas why i am wondering about transplantation and also in that case i ll go and buy good soil mix and do it as i should first time . ???

[OzBud]

any soil growers able to suggest how to proceed when transplanting?

[OzBud]

there's a bit more info in the comments on my first reply

[insomniaczzz]

Just don't buy miracle grow soil or nutrients. Time released and too strong for marijuana. I would suggest bigger than a one gallon pot, 3 to 5 gallon. Get a good organic soil with a nice mix of perlite. Fill bucket about 2/3 full. Do not compact soil. Water lightly. Remove plant from pot trying to keep as much of the existing soil attached to roots intact. Place in bucket and fill up will soil, including some of the now existing stem. Water again. Soil will gradually settle over time and you may have to top it off. Just make sure its nice and loose when you do the transplant. Forgot to say.......drill drainage hole in bucket unless you get something that already has drainage holes. After plant has about 6 new sets of leaves, pinch off top so plant does not grow like a Christmas tree.

Plants can usually stay in solo cup 2 to 3 weeks. Come back with pictures on a regular basis and we will help you.

[bujkem]

will do tnx!!!!
pls one more thing i am really worried about, i have noticed , as new pair of leaves startitng to grow first pair (not the ones came from husk) of leaves are like folding , moving towards soil is it normal or if its not what can be cause how to fix it , also why i have feeling that my stem will collapse ?

[Weed Pharma]

Let it dry out (get soil dry for 1" minimum) and most issues will go away- including feeling like the stem will collapse-I am assuming you do NOT use a dome or mist the plant!

[bujkem]

Ok i ll do that , also i hand crafted kind of a wind blower , i ll show in next post . also u be able to see pair of leaves i was talking about.
sorry i m pain i the ass LoL

[rockman]

Definitely give it a breeze with a small fan, that will strengthen it. Follow Insomiaczzz transplanting info, keep your CFL bulbs not more than two inches from plant (what strength bulb?) and you should be on your way. Great to have you here! 😊

[bujkem]

Hand crafted Fan made from small table vacum cleaner , just for the weekend .

[OzBud]

the droopy leaves might just be from over watering

[bujkem]

is there something that i can do to increse drainage in these circumstances , or sould i just wait

[OzBud]

gently poke/cut some holes in the bottom of the cup if there aren't already. And the fan will help dry the soil from the top

[bujkem]

i poked 4 holes on edges just before i started growing, today i poked some more on the bottom , pot i started growing my seedling its
polystyrene and i wrapped it with some black tape (read somewhere it keeps roots from getting lights), but also when i take the pot into my hand i see soil is separating from the edges of the pot . any suggestions ?????

[Joker]

Hopefully it's a feminized seed.

[Canyon Grower]

Im a cfl fan, especially early in growth. I agree with others here, move those lights closer to reduce the stretching. If your hand is comfortable under the light, then its not too hot, but watch your moisture levels. Good luck !!!!

[bujkem]

I keep them 2inches away from cfls , my stem worrying me a lot now it looks like starting to bend somewhere in the midlle , i made more holes in the pot , also i am thinking drainage is ot so good , i ll wait one and half day more for next watering , still i am wondering is there something i can do to improve my drainage in the soil except those holes i drilled already . ......

[bujkem]

Hi guys , my leaves are still looking droopy even though i waited 3 days after last watering and it was a small pot , so nevertheless i just transplanted my plant to a bigger pot nice drainage holes , i bought some soil the guy told me its perfect for what i need base soil wiht some compost and lava crushed stone for aeriation he say . i transplanted it after reading all of yours comments ,and cause of streching i had on my stem , i fixed this problem now . i uploaded some pictures of new pot and be welcome to look to them and HELPPPPPP HELPPPP HELPPPP SHES ALL I HAVEEEE !!!!!!!

[bujkem]
