two days after i put 22 beans in peat pellets, the 6 KC39s have all sprouted, cotyloydons and all.
theres even the beginings of serrated leaves there too
all the others are ok too
most have cracked surface.

what i want to know is,
how long do i leave them in there, ie, when should i put them in pots?
how often do they need watering whilst in prop?
and finally, can I put them straight into allmix?

sorry for all the q's but its drivin me mad only havin a vagueish idea of how carry on with these pellets.
been well impressed with them so far though
cheers all

Hello YDL,

I kind of answered your questions over here well, I tried to anyway

Hope it helps

EO.

if they are in propagators i would start getting some air in there and once the roots begin to come out of your pellets start removing the lids and start hardening off
as more roots begin to e outside of the pellet its time to transplant to pots
watering in the prop can be achieved by frequent misting or little and often with the help of a syringeor turkey baster....just make sure you do not over water them
allmix will be fine but be gentle with them and do not overfertilise or over water
good luck

just what i needed
cheers peeps

if any1 has anything to add, i'm all ears (i do have arms and legs too:-)

Yeah,take em out of the prop altogether.Seedlings want plenty of air as not to rot their tiny stems.Leaving em in a prop will not do em any good

Get a fan gently blowing across them just to help their stem become more sturdy

Owd

my mates dad taught him the fan trick
out of the 30 i started, 27 survived, all the white russians and all the kc39s lived but 2 kc nls did not germ and 1 sprouted and promptly keeled over and died.
hope they were males.

i've just finish putting them (and 2 bubgum & 1 ak47 clones) in to my GR, got them under 400w MH 3 ft away. got small 7" fan blowing on em.
Light on 24hr
Temp 23degC
RH 70%
Perfect

they look well they do, all the WRs are uniform as a SS Division, KC39 8 of 10 amazin 2 slightly less so,&5 NL amazin too with 2 runty lookin ones.

anything over 13 females and i'll be well chuffed

just hope i can coax some cuttins off the best ones

cheers for help peeps

MH should not be run continuously! 1. it shortens lamp life. 2. light output will be down dramatically after 24 hrs, at least 1 hr rest every 24 hrs is needed.

Finally under high intensity light maximum growth with cannabis is reached with a 4 hr dark period every 24 hrs, ie veg at 20/4.

Sound advice from an oldie.
Best pay good attention to Oldtimer then......


For some reason I feel younger now....... mebbe 50 again.......

- off 'is nut! Please ignore........

nice1 ot1, didn't know that about mh lights
do the plants need the pitch black as i'll turn off the light in the day time keep temps more stable (it'll not turm em hermie will it as i've a repair to do on the door so a tiny bit of light can get thru?), i got an oil heater in there but would be needed less if it only needed to heat daytime temps..
cheers mate, avuva piece of indespensible knowledge

that post on mh lighting wants pinning in the lighting forum

nice1 mate, i owe u one
