grow

[Guest Jaywake]

Hey all i am just starting to grow and i have the seeds in a pot around 7 inch deep soil i dont really wanna take the time to read through the site but i will very much apprecitate any and all advice you have 2 give me. Let me start by saying what i've already done. I took the pot of soil and buried the seeds about 1/2 inch deep and put about a cup of water to start with and puty the seeds pointing up. i put the pot outside and its getting sunlight . I really just need to know how much to water it daily. Please help me out. Thanx

Soil holds moisture OK but its best to mix soils if youre going to use it IMO - things like perlite and vermiculture added makes it dry out within a few days instead of a week [some soils hold a lot of water - like peat/sphagnum].

 

What you want to do is water when the top inch of the soil has dried again and a pot that size with nothing but a seed in it will take about a week to dry under low light. I always sugget potting-up with soil to avoid soil moisture problems - the less soil there is the less water it can hold.

 

If I was you Id pull those seeds up and use a plastic cup to start seeds - itll still take a few days to dry under a light so it wont be too unmanageable uness you go away for a few days.

 

PS. try hydro sometime - it grow a lot faster so you can learn more about what kills a plant by ditching soil for a while [im a soil grower but Ill be using expanded clay until I get enough weed to last a soil-grow - actually moss since I dont do pure organics indoors since shit can stink]. Also, make sure youre evacuating air and keep direct light/airflow/draft away for the first week as seedlings IMHO [ill be using a 48W CF 2 foot away and exhaust fan only in my seed/clone chamber].

I really think you should have, as you can see by Wilderbud's reply.

 

Also if you want help and advice from this site you should become a member (it's free) and post your requests in the appropriate forums.
