Brother, I was so busy focusing on the wet medium, and the first picture couldnt see the seedling correctly at its angle. Please watch the seedling and see if that skin / condom comes off, it sometimes will need help or you can wet it and it will help soften it. Not wetting the coco though. I honestly use a toothpick or tweezers to pull it up and release the leaves or what ever those first arms are called technically.

Hmmm, I put Cinnamon on my seedlings this morning, as I like to see the soil surface of my seedlings. And when I go to enter my grow space now, the smell is of fruits, berries and umm pancakes

@CreX saying what a few must already be thinking... Was my very first thought, sad world we are living in at the moment, you dont want to know the half of it.

Thank you, you have taught me too and appreciate it. Super happy it wont harm my mycoroot as I use it and benefits are huge for me. I've known about the Cinnamon and also Honey as a clone gel together, as I was out when lockdown started and used it for all 50 clones at 100 percent success rate. Shot again brother

Can I share some good advice for a new grower on telling if it's time to water, Take another same size pot (hoping you do have a second) and fill it with dry soil only to the same mark as the other pot. Now lift it and gauge the weight, the planted pot must be close to that weight before you water, or as close to that. After a while you get the hang of the weight wet and dry and know just so easy. You can also tell if it wants water, as the plant will ask for it, when the leaves are hanging down straight and no curve, its thirsty for water, and if you see them hanging with a C shape curve then its heavy from water retention.

That's my soil to perlite ratio. Excuse the small amount of bark, as it was in the previous shop bought soil I had, and added to my amended mix this time around.

Haha, DamDave you make me laugh... I'm asking for my own benefit, learning and understanding Not to question you, rather the idea. That Fynbos would probably like an acidic soil, off the top of my head, and busy helping a guy who sells Clivia's to overseas markets, and he adds pine needles to his soil for acid. The soil you using should be fine, just watch the plant and see if its happy, and just add perlite to the mix, lots of it and can even go 50/50 or more, it's up to you.

Again, thank you this information @DamDave. Out of curiosity, and maybe @CreX @Ill_Evanand @Prom could share on, If you use Cinnamon, and from what I've read is going to get rid of fungus gnats by removing the fungus that they feed on, right. What I question and would imagine, is if you had Mycorrhizae fungi in your soil, and Cinnamon bark or powder, would it not render the Mycoroot process null? I question everything, and like to understand as much as possible.

They should be okay, holding thumbs for you. With jiffy or coco, it holds water and air well, and with them it's best to water from the bottom, let it suck it up. You learning and doing just fine and that's what we are here for.

It's a weed, needs and wants to look for water, not be soaked and bathing in it. You'll be okay, just dry it out fast and slow it down.

I think a typo maybe of the close date, was meant to 8th? I'm not sure here... But it is open till near the end of month. Added: I see it was posted on the 9th of the 6 month, so really not sure now as we a day away from a month.

Whooo, way way way to much water... Slow it down, every 3 or more days, and if need be water a small bit near the base of the jiffy only, as on the stem will wick it off and pulls air out from the top watering.

I find it best to control the humidity in a room or area and then bring that into the space for best results, and set it once your preference. You'll see the hygrometer will still show different inside the tent, but the air coming in is perfect and ready.

Dying

To add, If your air you bring into the grow space is per your hygrometer, and the RH it displays, then you are essentially bringing in more dense air than you are reading, that is the point you want to avoid as I understand it. Same with the discussion the other day on drying it for 14 days and that time been far to long, and without name dropping, when debating that fact as 5 to 7 days, was told by someone from the USA, StickyD420 you spend 2 to 3 months growing, 3 month to flower it, and then you want to, and his words "f#@k it up" by rushing the dry by half.

Which is correct to say that the extraction fan would bring down the RH as the temp drops, though the trick comes in bringing in that air to the space that is already at humidity you want, and not the relative temperature based humidity, as stated is more suited for human comfort and not for plant growth. I took some time to get this right and in practice and have seen the difference first hand, and again not here to stand on toes or force my understanding on anyone else, I love a good debate and that is the only way we learn new things.

100 percent correct for seedlings and veg, I just wasn't sure what light the tank was giving out, right next to his seedlings, otherwise he could have just let the light on 24 hours if it was that bright. I also tend to keep dark hours dark, and when helping others try not to talk different things and stick to the best process.

The other light will hamper them, and you dont want that actually as it can cause herm or unnecessary stress. Cant you hang something between the tank and area? Maybe send a picture of the light off so I get an idea of what the residual would be?

Thank you DamDave, it is useful information. If you purchase coco peat from most places in brick form, they come with eggs in so you get them free some times haha.

Far too many uncomposted, composts for sale or sold from home. Wurmbosch compost with worm castings is good. But hardly any compost in bags at the shops is good, and far to much bark that is again not good and need to be broken down for years, and not in the time you are growing in 6 months.

I dont know @Pat999 But by the way you all been talking about him, I'm starting to miss him too Sounds like he is an awesome cannabro.

You can, but 18/6 they say is best, Was it an Auto, they can be 24hours on. Your root develop at night/dark. Unless auto

Howdie Pango

I stand corrected too, but it steals / robbs the nitrogen from the soil in a way. The bark is a great place for fungus gnats to home too.
