After many delays the plant babies

[IanHale]

I did look down into the reservoirs and CB1 already has a root trying to reach down to the water level

 

[IanHale]

The strong seedlings are going crazy CB1&2, PM2 and BN1.
BN2 is catching up but PM1 is slacking. WW1 is showing smalls signs of life, so I'm not ruling it out yet.

WW2 though...slight curl of a taproot but no progress in 4days. Declaring WW2 out of the running

The first root on CB1 has reached down to the water level woo!

IanHale you've got a bit too much stretch there; lower your lights or whatever you need to do to give them more light. You don't want the stems getting so gangly. Otherwise, they look great!!! There's nothing like vigorous babies!!!

 

[IanHale]

@allatup in the process of doing just that right now during my reservoir change

 

[IanHale]

Just measured the distance and it is 18" I'm gonna lower to 16"

 

[alltatup]

Good deal!

 

[alltatup]

Just make sure the stretching stops. You may have to prop them.

 

[IanHale]

Are you watching me or something? I used a little piece of clay rock to prop up the stretchy leaners. Also rotated my bins 90 degrees for better light coverage.

Taking another set of pictures res when I wake up before I go to work.

Yes, IanHale, I am omniscient, eternal and omni-present... Not quite a burning bush, maybe just a burning pipe...

 

[IanHale]

I think we are on the same train of thought for sure.

🌱 One thing that's cute about too-tall seedlings is if you leave them alone they'll fall over, which is really sad, but if you give them more light and another day by themselves, they'll do a "push up" and push the leaves back up and towards the light! One day I want to see the difference between a too-tall seedling that gets propped up vs one that's forced to push itself up! 🌱

 

[IanHale]

I have two equally heathy plants of the same strain. I'll unprop one and keep the other propped up.

One is getting sacrificed anyway.

They got their fisrt low dose ow dose of nutes during last night's tank change.

i learned something cool about my ballast today. It has a power flash feature. If the power flashes...it doesn't immediately turn the bulb back on...it waits about 10 minutes. I was so afraid the power blip blew my MH bulb

 

[berrypilot]

🌱 Wow, thanks for trying the experiment for us! Yes, I had the same thing happen with a ballast! The power went out and it wouldn't turn on and I thought my plants were doomed, but it just needed a cool-down period 🌱

 

[IanHale]

I'll start the experiment tonight with either C99Blueberries or the big Nugs plants since both pairs are doing well.

Pretty sure which PowerAfricaMKUltra and which White Widow are gonna be the winners or their pairs. But I may decide to keep the actual 4th strongest plant

No Title

7 days and 12 hours from sticking the seeds directly into the system

 

[alltatup]

Lower those lights; they're stretching a bit too much...

 

[IanHale]

I lowered them again (see first picture). The light is about 10" away instead of the 12" I lowered it down too yesterday.

The second set of serrated leaves is popping on several of them.

Sorry Ian, getting all my topics and posts mixed up. Don't mean to repeat myself to you!!!
