Ludens' first grow - NL5 X Haze fem

1. bad idea... pots too big and the soil mix is likely to be too strong for seedlings. Small pots are the go for newly germinated seeds.... about the size of a coffee mug with a seed raising mixture. you'll be able to go to the allmix by the time they need potting up.

2, I'd probably give them a week or so to get going... but they should be right starting in 12/12 lighting.

3. You'll need a carbon filter when they begin to give off an identifiable odour... how long that will be cannot be determined.

Hey,

good luck with ya grow :).

I think i'm gonna get these seeds next.

A grower did flower these quite small, if you look through the diary section you should be able to find it, there could be some useful info for you :).

I might be well off the mark but if you veg em till they are 12" they still might not reach 5.5. You can also top them this will reduce the height, but buy some canes.

About the smell, it depends where they are. I have veg 12 upto 12" with not much smell, but i had some little other plants that stank. The extraction is not just for the smell, but to bring in fresh air and help regulate the temps.

As Sarah has pointed out it's best to start them in small pots then work you way up. ( water them less, use less feed, closer to the light and easier to manage)

I use 11ltrs, and have had a couple of tall plants in the past. i think the amount of time you veg them for, will be a bigger factor than final pots size :).

That's not a lot of floor space, should fit 3 plants though.

What light are you using for veg and flower? How l;ong are you going to veg them for?

Hey,

If it was me I'd go for the 3 plants rather than 2. (just in case they don't turn out as big as you thought).

Have you got 5'5" of total room, or plant size, cause if it's total, then you won't want your plants much over 1 meter.

The seedlings need light now, the root riots will need to be potted up once you see a root tip poking through the bottom. Make sure the cubes don't dry out before you put them into pots. Moving air will be necessary in a few days time... for now warmth, moisture and enough light are the main requirements.
