Hello all
Thanks in advance for your patience. I wanted to write all of this down so I could really learn what I am doing and how to improve. If you have constructive criticism it is welcome. Please keep any rude comments to yourself.
So here's the situation, someone a while back gave me a seed and I figured heck why not, I can always use another plant on my deck. So I germinated it and planted it and it was growing pretty good but I knew I started it late in the season to be an outside plant but I did anyway. The plant got to be about a ft and a bit high and then slowed right down to nothing right after we got a bunch of rain. This plant is in a medium sized pot in gardening soil. I looked closely at it and could tell that it was showing me it was a girl and that's about it. That was about 3 weeks ago. Fast forward to now and I have a brand new 5x5 secret Jardine tent a 1000w cool tube and a nice dimmable balast. I have this plant in there now but it dosn't sem to be getting much taller just really condensed leaves around the top. I asked some question in another thread and the consensus was that I needed to up pot and start nutes. I did this but when I took it out of it's smaller pot as gentle as I could be I would say about half the roots were left behind. I put it into soil (what it was origionaly planted in but I ran out of soil so I mixed in some coco to be able to fill my pot.
I now have 8 Cemo seeds started and doing well. I got my seeds from the Victoria Seed Bank. I started the as per the directions they provided me and all 7 sprouted in 24 hrs. I probably jumped the gun a bit by putting them all in jiffi pucks right then because I think I stunted one of them, The other 6 look great. I decided to grow in coco and geo pots for my first go around because it seemed like a great way to start and to be a little forgiving on a noobe. My goal is rather than growing a bunch of smaller plants grow 4 or 5 large ones, oh ya and to not screw the whole thing right up... Thats a goal too :) I have a few pictures of where I am at today. I wished I would have got a picture of the roots on my stranger plant but sadly I had my hands full.
