Re: 1st Bloombox Grow: Big Bud/Cheese
Good calls by xlr8. I agree they could be overwatered a bit and would only add that 24 hours may not be enough to out-gas the nasties from the water as milk containers have little surface area exposed. Perhaps a little longer there might help. Your PPM looks good.
With regard to soil should you go that way, I read early on that overwatering was a pretty common problem so I wait until the plants begin to show minor signs of wilting or when it weighs similar to when I potted it before watering. If there is minor wilting... no worries, they bounce back in mere minutes. Very resilient. It's a good idea to lift your plants a few times after transplanting to get a good feel for it's unwatered weight. That way you'll have an accurate standard to go by. Maybe save a few bucks and hold off on the meter as the plants speak very clearly on the subject. When I water the plants in soil I remove them from the cab and water at the sink so they can be watered-through to clear accumulated salts. That process has served me well.
After some time in soil your plant will have used up the soils nutrients. It'll tell you when. At that point I began using Advanced Nutrient's Mother Earth Tea-Grow @ 15ml per gal. It's done very well for me. Every 4th watering I omit the nutes and just use water. There are countless other methods, that just works for me.
Keep us posted... you're doing great!
