Looking happy! Some (unasked for) tips :-p
- careful with watering...just a little bit a couple inches from the stem is good just to keep the soil moist. I usually spray them a little as well. They don't really have roots that can do much with water, so at this stage, she's mostly getting water through her leaves.
- Watch the temps...obviously
- And the humidity...but don't go crazy
- And, I always give my seedlings a TON of light! I build a little 'hut' for my seedlings out of white packing foam (that my lights actually came in!) which diffuses the light a little bit. This helps the seedling get used to having lots of light and it is able to adjust early on instead of having to figure out what to do with all the light once you get them pumping. This will also help prevent them from getting all stretchy.
Good luck, keep up what looks like a good job! Hopefully in several months you're rewarded with not only great cannabis, but all sorts of new ideas and things you've learned!

LOL that's pretty funny @dirtmike. Ya know i saved a small syringe from my vet last time my pet got sick had to give oral med. I use it to water my seedlings for a week or so. It was a gentle way to water around in a circleSmoke Ganja create Peace Respect Nature don't trash the Planet

Are you adding nutes to the water you’re giving them? I’ve never seen a seedling go yellow before.Comment

At least foliar spray with a 10% nute mix and add a bit to your medium every couple if days..that works really well fir me.

@Bluey: I heard alot on this forum about Foiliar spray so i picked this up. . Mix 2 teaspoonfuls per gallon. So 1 teaspoonful per gallon would be 50 % right before lights off in 2 or 3 day intervals. Would this be a good starting place.Attached FilesComment

That sounds about right. I typically lift off the domes as soon as I see the condensation disappearing and give them a good spray....it also keeps the soil moist and doesn't disturb the coco like a watering does. Seedlings need nutes long before the 5th leaf...they need them at 1st leaf
Edit. I just use regular nutes at 10%...pH'ed. Nothing fancy.Last edited by Bluey; 06-27-2023, 08:04 AM.

These Chiquita banana strains sure do take their time. I did ever think they were going to make it. The roots are amazingly dense. They have been above ground since 6/28. I cant seem to get these plants to get on with it. I'll switch to 12/12 and hope flower time is better. On to the next strain. Going to find one that grows well for me and stick with it.

One finally finished. The other one has turned a scarlet color and is foxtailing a bit. No Amber color yet. Test time in a couple weeks. Dang that's a long time.Attached FilesComment

Left the second one up. It turned a scarlet color and the trihcones have yet to go to amber.Some of the Trichones have a bit of red in them or it is a reflection of the suntan. Think this one got more light. It foxtailed. Supposed to be Chiquita Banana. It has been 18 1/2 weeks since pop from seed. I see some deterioration of sugar leaves. Think its time to harvest.???Attached FilesComment

Thats good to know SoOrbudgal. Its coming down tomorrow. All trichones are real frosty with no clear at all. Some of the top buds are pulling from the sugar leaves, second pic. Good sign its ripe??
