Plants are looking bigger since I last saw :) yes I would move LED closer you will notice light burn if that were to happen within a day or so the plants won't looks very happy so yes move light down. If u really wanted to u can give them a very small dose now go with organic and there is less likely to burn NOT saying you can't lol but less likely but they prob don't need it really yet at that size :) I'm sure there growing at just a fine pace :) you are just to excited :)
You're either gonna need much more light or put them out about now or at least keep them outside where they can get the most sun but keep your eyes on them so they don't get burned and soil doesn't get too dry.
You've got good soil and good nutrients. Just keep them on water for now.
I say put them in some bigger pots and bury them up past the round leaves, then move the light way closer. You may need a better light. What kind are you using?
For now I'm leaving them in the pot and will transplant and cover later on. I still need to purchase 3 bigger pots as transplanting them in the same pot won't even be good enough to cover the amount of stem I have, the pot's too short.
I've attached pictures of the LED and homemade lamp shade (haha). I know, it's not enough. I need about 2 more right? The issue is this is my parents place and their electricity bill is gonna be crazy if I add another. I'm trying to use as little light as I can while still providing them with what they need, before placing them outside.
Yes much bigger now, just still too long :)
Haha maybe you're right. It's also that I've had a friend from Sweden over for a week and I feel like I've neglected them, when in actual fact I've probably done them good without the constant staring and moving the pots around under the light hahah.
I definitely don't want to risk burning so I'll wait. I also don't have any nutrients at the moment so I'm happy they're not begging for anything more yet.
Thanks!
Five of those lights might get you somewhere.
One more thing. How's the weather in september-late october in you neck of the woods?
Hi KK
First order of business is move the light close to the top of the plants.
That is only 20 watts and stands very little chance of burning your ladies.
I would start with about 12 inches away and move closer once I notice them growing healthy.
I would not use fertilizer until weeks after you transplant. The soil if it is quality should contain enough nutrients for healthy growth for a few weeks.
I would be careful putting them outside because the wind will blow them right over. But try to get them outside a couple hours to soak up some sunlight and strengthen them up. But beware of the wind, it's not your friend with delicate seedlings like that.
Ha they will stay long for awhile but once they mature a lil more u won't even notice also after u transplant them u can bury stem I see would not put them outside yet tho. Haha there your lil girls and u feel guilty for neglecting them lol we all go through that. Yes plenty of time for nutrients I'm assuming your going to transplant into the same soil they are already in?
See how close you can hold the back of your hand for like 30 seconds without it being uncomfortable and move it about that close. Then keep an eye on them! I would hate to cause you to burn up your babies lol. Good luck!
Glad to hear that :)
And yeah I won't put them outside just yet, I'll wait for them to strengthen up a bit.
Exactlyyy. I'm lucky I study from home so I can check on them whenever. Some people don't have as much time and their babies are just fine, so I just gotta chill out, haha.
Great, because I doubt I have the money for nutrients right now. But yeah they'll be in the same soil.
I can touch the light itself and it's fine. That's what I found weird at the beginning. Because I was testing that method out but felt little to no heat. I might as well move this light as close as possible then.
Ok cool so if ur gonna use same soil they will feed off the nutrients from the transplant in there new soil. England huh ya not much sunny days out there lol need that cali weather lol ya thats good I work 50 hours a week so my time in my garden can get s little spread out lol but when u love sonthing you make time for it :)
Yeah precisely. So those nutrients in the new soil will last me about another 4 weeks after right?
Haha I know. I actually want to move to California, but it'll be hard to get into.
Couldn't agree more. Time and patience for the things you love are what will satisfy you in the end.
