My First Attempt with Seeds on Paper?

[dmforcier]

I have no idea what a "blind" seedling is. Anyone? Maybe it's a local phrase.

Those four do look a little anemic and the taller ones kind of spindly. How much light are they getting? Intensity is critical - more so than duration or color. How close are your lamps?


(As a buyer, I don't believe in "Gro Lights". As a seller I'd love the huge profits...)

It is the same thing that many here call a 'mule'. The plant is incapable of growing a main stem.

Ron, I would advise you NOT to use the Calmag prior using the MG. Calmag will give you a large burst of nitrogen which could easily burn your little ones roots.

Patti...Thankyou ..thats info I require....Do you think my idea of making a mix up with perhaps dolomite lime to get the ph to 6.5 and use it as an "overcoat" soil..to go under and around my peat Jiffy pots that have the seedling .....I will be sprinkling Mycorrhizae inside the overcoat before the seedlings is put in so hopefully the roots will get acsess to but do you think i need to sprinkle anything else with the mycorrhizae like Epsom Salts?? I will be using a lite Miracle Gro mix to provide moisture...To me this is crucial ....Because they will then be going into a hardening off process?? Regards Ron

Hi..I agree ..they look terrible and they are growing at double the rate of my normal seeds...In the main they have been growing out in my greenhouse in a Propagator under normal light....Thanks Ron

What's "normal light"? Sunlight? Incandescent bulb? What?

Hi.. Sunlight if there is sun....or daylight...However Lately I have bought a lot inside and have them under my 10 LED tubes..i do put them outside if its fine and I try to give them 16 hours of light a day which means if they are outside they come inside around 7.30pm ,put under the LED's till 10pm- 11pm.....Thanks Ron

There's normal light and then there's Bud Light.

Hi..What about "I saw the light" ..Got an idea there was a song called that back in the 1960's...and then "Blinded by the Light"....Regards Ron
