  "Those seedlings have barely grown! You're way behind!"   Yeah well, you know, that's just like, your opinion man        

Some new seeds poppin, picture of Coyote Zan White     See if you can find the Yellow Brain Strain hook! I'm super excited about growing these     Goronong is growing well and still has a great color! I swear it's even a bit more purple than this in person.  

Im super glad Im reading this. Ive started seeds in coir twice and both times Ive had them develop super slowly for about a month. I mean cotyledons to first pair of tiny true leaves, they just hover for a month somewhere in that range. That happened this year too! Them coming out of it maaay...

Mine are looking better now too. Im thinking the dryness or pH issuestap comes out here really high, and I had to use some a while back. pHed it but then left it in a jug and used more later. Only recently re-tested and saw that it came way back up

Niiice sprouts, Im excited to follow. Looked up weather and wow, I didnt realize how quickly it gets warm in SC! Ill probably wait a while longer before starting tomatoes here in Michigan. Good luck down there!

Does anyone think that canoe leaf and slow growth could have been UNDER watering? Pulled a couple for transplant and they have pretty serious root systems, maybe they were pulling up more water than I thought. They were in tiny cells and I was bottom watering, only letting a bit at the bottom...

Ive only had that little smudge of green algae there, hasnt gotten worse in two weeks and plant is doing well! Roots seem healthy for sure

Thanks for that method, that is very clever. Id probably have spent a half hour on the first one and then have to figure something else out. It might be harder for me with the square containers, but I designed them to fit in 1020 trays so hopefully that was worth it

Thank you! It was my first time sewing since I was a little kid but I had a pro teaching me and a nice sewing machine. I used some pretty sturdy thread because I figured thats what would give out soonest. Have you had a hard time removing plants for transplant once they get some serious roots going?

The bright red is nice too. Yeah I hope to make enough compost over this winter to fill at least a few big ones

Yes, I saw a big red bag in a post of yours. Very cool stuff, I thought about using different cloth but the weed mat wasnt expensive for a lot of it and it does seem very nice. Thiiiick stuff. I used some nylon thread that Im pretty sure is used for upholstery, some website recommended it for...

Thanks! Im excited to make more and fill them. Took more time to make than I thought. Planning on making some huge ones later

Im glad youre interested! I looked at your glog a while back, it was part of where I got the idea to get bales of straw for composting and start that over the winter. I figured if you had yours composting fast without turning, I could speed things up. I like the idea of growing directly in...

Made a couple of grow bags from thick weedblock fabric. 5" by 5" base, 7.5" height. I can fit 8 of them in a 1020 tray, will probably only do one or two trays of these until it's warm enough to set up a somewhat insulated grow tent in the unheated shed.    

Double post  :doh:

Chinense have definitely been doing it worse than baccatum and pubescens.   No fan! But I do have an extra timer, I can probably dig up a fan too. I'll definitely try that, should I point it straight at the plants or deflect off a wall kind of thing?

    Thanks for that. I have been letting it get pretty dry generally, I even had one or two cells totally dry out. Maybe I've gone overboard on watering since that happened

Goronong is growing up nicely in its larger pot, and I like the color too. I'm not sure whether it's from the fluorescent lights or a seed variation.     Could curled leaves and slow growth be caused by low humidity? It's been around 20% for around a week. All plants but the manzano in the pic...

  Hahaha I bet all the outdoor growers end up helping to grow some arthropods     Thanks for the encouragement, I hope it works!

I haven't seen much growth on any of the seedlings, including the straw test one, so I'm not sure about herbicide damage yet. All the seedlings have slowed down growth ever since the outside temp dropped real low, which made the indoor humidity go from around 35 to <20%. At 35% RH and 85 degrees...
