Hello,
so my two last WW auto seedlings died because of... I don't know actually why. Probably because of a large pot and overwatering (it was quite hard for me to understand what moisture level it should be and remain the proper one).
Now I'm starting with Super Critical auto's. I've bought 5 seeds, germinated only 1 to see where it will lead to.
This time I used the same method (germinated in soil covered with plastic). Germination was successful, sprout showed after 3 days. A sprout was with the seed shell on it, but after 24 hours it fell off.
This time I'm using about 1 litre (or a lil bit smaller) pot (made from the plastic bottle). I cut some drainage holes in the bottom, the water runs off very quickly, even after very small amounts of water.
I'm using organic soil with only organic nutes in it (just the neccessary ones, of course, with no pre-release fertilizers) and tap water (I let it stay for about 24 hours). The lights this time are two CFL's (one 45W 2700 K and one 25W 4000 K). Later I'll switch to 250W Dual Spectrum HPS. The reason for using CFL's is because I'm afraid to start with HPS again (all my last dead seedlings were started under HPS from the start).
The seed sprouted on day 26, I turned on the lights on 27, so this is actually her 3rd day of life. What do you think?
Seedling is located in my room, in a small cartboard box covered with mylar. It has no ventilation except some big holes, so the air could reach the box. Then I'll switch under HPS, there will be a lot of ventilation (that room is made for growing).
I have one question now. When you suggest switch CFL's to HPS?
I hope you could help. Cheers.
And... What do you guys think?
