No problem at all! ;-) Just be gentle, and you shouldn't have any issues. Go easy on the nutes when you replant. Let them get readjusted. ;-)

...buzzed,

I believe the picof the 'burned' leaf is being caused by heat stress. Raise 'em a bit.

And really, nothing at all from the G13s ?

[alwaysbuzzed]

Andy thanks for the tip, I'll go raise the lights a little bit right now.

I've got 6 out of the 10 G13 Haze seeds to break ground, they are S L O W moving plants though... don't seem to grow fast at all.

[Erk202]

same with mine.

TIP: Try putting the lights up a little higher for temp use, in tell they stretch, then lower them back down.

[alwaysbuzzed]

thanks for the tip Ms. Fox.
I re-planted the girls the other day and they appear to be doing well.
I was worried they might be damaged, since I could see some of their roots around the soil when I pulled them out, but so far I haven't seen any signs that they're stressed.

I also raised up the lights like Andy suggested, then I took it one step further and got some new bulbs.

Previously I had 6500k 800 lumens 13w CLF. I pulled those from the grow room and stuck them in every lamp in the house to save some energy.
I replaced them with some 23w (100w equivilant) 1600 lumens 6500k CLF. so I basically double my lumes from 11,200 to 22,400 and only increase my wattage a little bit.

Here we go with the pics. I think they are really starting to look like plants now.

First the six G13 Haze plants. These are a little behind the other ones but from what I've read I'm sure they're going to be worth the wait...













These are the combination 4 WW, 1 bagseed and 3 free seeds, I have no idea which is which, lol.

















and for good measure, these are the light I just got, in 3500k & 6500k flavors



I've only been giving the girls water, no nutes or anything like that. The organic MG soil I'm using is supposed to have nutes already in there. Should I be adding anything at this point in time??

[shaggy_420]

that depends on what nutrients were in the soil
if there is little nitrogen, you might want to start adding some N a couple days from now
when theyre bigger and will need it

[alwaysbuzzed]

ok, so how do I tell what nutes are in the soil? I guess I look on the bag... and what nutes are needed or best to give for flowering, and how much.

only got to spend a couple minutes with the girls today but MAN what a difference those 1600 lumens lights made. I couldn't believe my eyes how much they've grown in just 24 hours. BUT, what really made my day was that tonight, for the first time, I was actually able to SMELL the sweet, sweet leaf! ohh what a good feeling to walk into the room and be greated by the smell of fresh weed, happy day!

[Erk202]

how do yall guys get a really close up pictures like that on the pants...i got a 7.5 mexa pixel cam that has micro settings turned on and when i take a pic it doesnt look all that close like everybody elses...

[shaggy_420]

for flowering you need phosphorus and potassium

[alwaysbuzzed]

the plants are in a mix of MG soils. its their starter soil and their organic soil. I threw out the bag for the starter soil but still have the organic soil bag. I didn't see anything about nute levels on the bag though...

[shaggy_420]

does it have 3 numbers on it
example:
10-20-30?

[alwaysbuzzed]

thats what I was looking for but didn't see it anywhere.

[shaggy_420]

well its hard to help you then
from your last pictures they dont even seem to need any nutes yet
