Seedling stage

Summer 18

5 seedlings, first time growing, no clue what I’m doing, every thing I read is different! Starting in peat pots then transplanting to 5gal buckets. Two have started a third was growing with tap root up! I pulled it out with tweezers and pointed down. Am I ok? My 5th one popped finally and I just now put it in peat pellet! What is Anastasia doing?

Day: 2

Have plants on 24/7 light cycle, my temp has been more bipolar than I am! Is Anastasia stretched? How much is too much water? I’ve read three different answers.

wiffybead Seedlings look good. Not stretchy looking. Basically the roots need air and a soaking wet pod means no oxygen. Give the pod a little squeeze. If it pours out water it’s probably too wet. Those peat pods hold the water really well. There’s a good likely hood that you will only need to mist them instead of full on watering them. Go by feel. Right after watering them pick them up and remember the feel. That’s your fully watered weight. As they dry they get lighter. With the pods it’s pretty visual tho. They look markedly different when they are dry. Lil gals like that don’t drink much tho so you probably won’t need to water until transplant.

Spacedog81 Thank you so much! They are getting their first set of true leaves!
