Planted my germinated seed late last night into a solo cup and added a sandwich bag to keep some moisture and humidity. By the next day, it has already left it’s shell and broke through the soil. Excited to see how this one pans out!
I use a solo cup because these seedlings don’t need a very large pot to grow and I don’t want to chance over-watering them. This also allows them to out grow their current cups first, then planting them into a slightly larger pot, and then so on! Seed starting mix is great just getting started because the medium is soft, light, and doesn’t have lots of nutrients. Seedlings don’t need nutrients that early. I like to wait atleast 3 weeks before giving them nutes. Lighting, I just use a clip-on lamp witha 5600k-6500k daylight led bulb with atleast a 60watt rating. Seedlings grow best with these lights to me cause they don’t overpower, remember, these little ones don’t need lots of everything to start out. Let them grow a little more and get stronger! Keep your light around 3-5 inches from your seedling to prevent stretching,stretching is bad, m’kay? When feeding my seedlings, I like to use good ol’ pH balanced water. Nothing special. Cannabis plants uptake nutrients best in soil at a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. I like to aim for around 6.5-6.7 when I mix my feed. You can find cheap pH Kits online that give you everything you need to adjust & test you’re water’s pH. I personally don’t use any pH adjusters, I use lime juice to adjust my pH naturally and it works well for me! Lime juice adds acidity to the water allowing me to lower it to wher I need. Hope some of this information helps with anyone out there growing cannabis! 🌱
