Yes I’ve used those biodegradable pots too for tomato’s - maybe it won’t matter if upcanned soon, but I know weed roots don’t like exposure to light - so that’s why I mentioned it.

Exactly what he said, they're bio degradable as I wanted to make life easier during transplantingIt's a biodegradable planter I use them in my outside veggie garden, well, I start them in those then transplant the whole deal into the ground
That's terrible I've never used them for cannabis
Would you suggest not using the biodegradable pots? I'm fully open to suggestions as I am new and I thought I was being smart by taking this option to avoid any transplant shock as I'm not experienced with transplanting yet.. Wanted to play it safeRemember the part about being very new?.... It may work - it may be a problem too. Biodegradable pots dry out too quickly now but later they may hold too much moisture when repotted and not allow the roots to breath, or it may introduce organic material into a sterile hydro grow. Yes coco is passive hydro it’s gotta be bottle fed ... coco is not soil and doesn’t have microbes to break stuff down into food for the plant.
Also I forgot to mention, the feeding was very early in, like day 2 and it was my stupidity and inexperience is all.. I waited maybe 2 weeks before feeding again after just watering them with pH'd water for the duration of the time. I decided to feed when I noticed the leaves turning lighter green. Sorry if I hadn't made it clearer before.How long have you been growing? Just wondering why you think it's okay to feed seedlings when they're getting burnt?
I'm not trying to put you down, just trying to get a feel for your experience
For new growers, those little round leaves (cotyledons) are like a horses feed sack when they start turning yellow they're getting empty, so a little foods good at that point
When I first grew in coco, I made the mistake of not watering with cal-mag twice a day, and they looked like that, after I fed them a little too much, trying to fix the "yellow" ...you can not let coco dry out, you have to water with cal-mag and very small amounts of nutrients at first and go up from there, the water/food has to be PHed to 5.6.to 5.8 every time
yes i think i germinated seeds, they germed ok but these pots dry super fast, they go hard so they dont prune i thought they would but they just make a tiny mess of the root system , this was under a t5 and still dried them out ,It's a biodegradable planter I use them in my outside veggie garden, well, I start them in those then transplant the whole deal into the ground

I'm sorry, I don't mean to laugh I can vision the roots looking like my dog trying to get through the back door with a stick that's too big...boink...boinkyes i think i germinated seeds, they germed ok but these pots dry super fast, they go hard so they dont prune i thought they would but they just make a tiny mess of the root system , this was under a t5 and still dried them out ,
That's why I chose them, I hoped they would just fall apart and melt into the pot. While I was waiting for them to arrive i actually planted my seed in an egg carton and then when the pots arrived switched them over. I'm a little hesitant to check the roots but I would assume it should have melted the pot up a little by nowt
hey actually fall apart when they're in the ground, kinda like wet cardboard
Everyone has their own methods, and if it works for you ...I've been growing for about 14 years now, and I've tried several types and styles of growing, all in an experiment to see what worked best for me. So if it's working for you, I'm not going to suggest you switch. Instead, learn to read your ladies, what they want and when they want it...and then you can try something else later on down the roadThat's why I chose them, I hoped they would just fall apart and melt into the pot.

Would you advise against biodegradable pots? I checked on my plants this morning and they all see to be very happy, no changes in colour of the leaves but there's no further light green change etc but they're praying to the light so to speak, not as much as the photo I posted yesterday but I think they were just super happy to receive a feeding
Oh damn.. I was actually looking at peat pucks but in glad you gave warning before I went and spent time and money on them. Would you say they're successful as long as the membrane has been removed? Or just best to dodge them entirely?Hey Apple,
I love the little peat pucks but every time I’ve used them I’ve had failures... then I learned to cut the membrane skin off before transplanting. Roots are supposed to grow thru the skin... I’ve seen pics of others who used the pucks on our crop but they have always caused problems for me.... anyway best of luck!
