Less is more, eh Costanza? Nice. Are you getting a touch stretchy on them or is it just the camera angle?All 4 looking good. The vanilla creme pie is the tallest but the first leaves are growing slowly and weird looking. Gonna try to ride it out in the solo cups for a few weeks and then go straight into 5 gal pots.
Gotcha. I like the Dixie to 5. I've done it that way many times, works great. Just gotta water carefully for a couple weeks.
Yeah I've been thinking about how I'm going to water them going from the solo to the 5s. Also debating when I wanna start feeding them, leaning towards first feeding this weekend
I had the same questions. I found one method that worked well was to dig a little trough with your finger that roughly mirrors the circumference of the plant, and water from the trough to the outside only for the most part. As the plant increases in circumference, you simply widen the trough. For me it worked well to target my watering, and it didn't take long to fill the container this way. I even started one of those big autos from earlier in my grow from seed directly into the 7 to test my skills and filled the pot using this exact same method.
Is that leaf tips starting to yellow a bit in the last picture? And are the tops of these pots dry in these pictures? They look to me like they need to not be watered for a few days and when next you do, include a shot of CalMag. Doesn't seem to be anything worse than that to my relatively inexperienced eyes.Ok so I need some help here. Plants looking droopy after transplant 3 days ago. I always struggle to identify over and under water symptoms when the plant is this young. I'm thinking they are hungry and thirsty right now and just fed them. Please tell me I'm right and I didnt just water these plants and they're over watered.
Lol. I follow you silly. I get a notice when you post. In real time pretty much. And since you have more class than me and tend to post with appropriate frequency, (lol) I usually go right to you when I see a Costanza notice pop up cuz I figure you have something to say. As you did today.
I do have one of them I just never used it before. I'll have to give it a shotLol. I follow you silly. I get a notice when you post. In real time pretty much.

So...
You have one of these?
If you don't, I strongly suggest getting one ASAP. In soil, imho, this thing is extremely accurate on the moist setting, where you stick the tines into the dirt and can visually see the needle move as you get deeper and such. They're like $13 on the Zon. Once you get one you will NEVER overwater again.
We all do it Costanza. I have already cost the Watermelon WeddingCake auto two or three days just from the simple, one time, third watering, OVERWATERING. Even in coco you can overwater a tiny seedling as I have now learned. No big deal, she's fine now, just saying, I know how to water, and I screw it up sometimes. It is what it is. I would just wait til you pick those pots up and they're light as a feather, or the meter is reading way dry.
If that helps!
Lol! No wonder you responded like this:
I never used it because it was a cheap one that came with my first tent and I tried using it for ph and it didnt work well so I just threw it aside to collect dust. Had no clue when I first started hence using a fucking soil meter to measure ph lolLol! No wonder you responded like this:
Dude....lmao. Why the heck not? Do you use your Phototone app to measure light? Do you use your Ph pen to Ph your water? Do you use a small tsp/tbsp set to measure your nutes? Do you use your environmental sensor to measure your RH and temperatures?
You see where I'm going with this?
Lmao. Well, the skinny on these things is that they're USELESS on the other two settings, but I guess due to the tines and the simplicity of the measurement they are EXTREMELY accurate on gauging water in the soil. You can slowly stick it in deeper and watch the meter go from left to right, ie, drier to wetter. Once the pots get too big to lift I use it all the time. It's one of my go-to, absolutely must have, tools.
Thanks for the tip as soon as I get a break in the day I will dig it out and test the soil. My assistant at work decided to get pregnant and take maternity leave so I'm up to my eyeballs in work but I will make sure I remember to search for it. Dreaming of the day I can tell my boss to pound sand and start a weed farm.
You just inspired two one-liners!
That's hilarious. I dodged that bullet 4 years ago, was engaged to get married and like an idiot took the girl to vegas for vacation and it was the most boring vegas trip ever. We got into a huge fight when I came out of the dispensary with a bunch of weed and edibles and the second we got back home we split up. I'm much happier now living with my dog and there Is absolutely no way I would be able to grow weed if I was still with that buzzkill
1. Who refers to their wife as their "assistant?"
2. Ah, I see... the old, my assistant mysteriously got pregnant trick. Bravo.
