Today I put my husband precious girls in the sun “domed”. They were out there about 30 minutes and he ran out there like I murdered someone. He says I’ve killed his precious girls I will post pics. This morning, I transplanted them from there jiffy cube, to the solo cups, they were domed up until after I put them in the sun. I’ve just been misting them. The soil is moist.
We were going to use CFL lights and do out grow inside, however, we cant get the bulbs around here. Sigh So ,when they’re big enough we are just going to plant them outside.
My questions are:
My husband has it in his head that I’ve killed them ,do they look it?
I thought you were supposed to put them outside in direct sunlight?
Please help, I’ve given myself a migraine thinking I’ve killed his precious girls. Sigh
They need sunlight. Yellow is not so good. Let media dry out a little. Misting is ok.
If dead, they would be totally limp withered and flopped on the ground.
A dome in the sun is NOT a good idea.
You could loop a pipe cleaner around the seedlings stem to give support.
If you leave them outside be very careful of the rain we’ve been getting. One big deluge could break them at this fragile stage. I’d personally keep them under an eave or something to protect them from rain.
It’s also very late for outdoor growing. @Pat2 is also in VT and his outdoor plant is getting ready to flower. By the end of august sunlight will be around 12 hours. Not enough for good vegging, not to mention you’ll run out of time before the frost sets in.
Maybe consider an indoor grow… all the lighting you could ever need is available through online sources. There are several lighting gurus here and growing is legal in VT.
Next summer you can grow outdoors , really need to germinate around Memorial Day and by now you would have ladies like my Queen of Hearts here. Your only option at this point, is indoor grow for sure. Good luck, and if you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I’m sure you will get answers and a lot more advice.
As you can tell, I’m trying to keep his girls alive. I have no clue, other than to make sure we have 100 watts per plant. Oh lordy, I think he should of planned this better, as it seems I’m doing all the research.
Lmao… Sounds like soon they will be your girls, and he’s gonna get the credit! The people on this forum have great advise, patients, and knowledge. Feel free to tag myself and whoever else you can think of. If they don’t have an answer, trust me, you’ll be pointed to some who does. And I know some of the people how build their own lights would kill me for this… (Shun me if you must oh, mighty artificial sun gods)
Ohh no, I’m really considering telling him hes gonna do the research for his an get me some , an see who’s turns out better.
I’ve only smoked once ,took 2 hits and didnt move off the couch for 5 hours. I felt like I was walking on air. I’m not sure pots for me. Havent touched it since.
He needs air flow through that tank… It will get very hot and humid in it. He’s doing more harm then good in my opinion. No offense to him. I would leave them without walls and get fan to blow gently on them. You should look into downloading ilgm grow bible. Its on this site. Packed full of great information.
