Title: Re: Trichocereus Seedlings
Post by: happyconcacti on May 05, 2015, 03:28:20 PM
As for a little more background information on Chickasaw Man's seedlings:

I started them from seed in 100% coarse sand last Fall. At about 1/4" height I transplanted them into 75% cacti soil (50% pumice/cinders 50% FoxFarm soil) and 25% coco coir. They've been under a 4000K T8 bulb placed about 8" above the soil surface for about 6 or 7 months.

Do they look etiolated? Should I have had stronger light on them sooner? Any other thoughts/suggestions?

Those seedlings (and others) were the first cacti that I raised from seed so I'm looking for input/advice on the future steps in the process as well.

Thanks,
Hcc
