Also, if you get a decent soil mix, you should not have to feed nutes for 2 weeks. Dont forget to keep your soil PH aroud 6.5.Make sure it isnt too hot (nutrient wise.) Dont forget to pot down
Yo, I'm not sure if you're still giving your plants 24hr light, but that is a no no. It may seem longest possible daylight is a good thing, but it actually hinders the plant. Every night when the lights go out, the plant goes through building processes that it can't during the daytime, and by giving continuous light, you eliminate that period of growth. 20/4 is the most light a plant can handle, and 18/6 would be best for any plant.
That's how I learned it anyway, first read it in Jorge Cervantes' Grow Bible. Then heard it from some people in the hydro bizz and old growers.
The extra hours of light may seem like a great idea, but it's all cash out the pocket.
On another note, I recommend using something like airpots, or meshpots. I use the Meshpot, because they're easy to make (Just need some fiberglass screen and some fishing line for thread), and they work amazingly. Plants grow so fast it's hard to believe.
As long as you presoaked the soil and let it sit for a few hours, You should not have to water for 2 days (no matter what), maybe 3 depending on how dry the soil feels at about 2 inchs down. You should be good to go and see new growth in a few days. You should try to find out more about the soil online maybe so you can determine if you need to use nutes or not. If it has nutes only water for 2 weeks. Looking good!Transplant went well
Only a few hours later and I swear they're starting to uncurl, made me feel good
As for the soil
Has vermiculite, peat moss, PH balancing lime, and a watering agent. Doesnt say ANYTHING about nutes, cept "All Natural" so I think its good..
$3.49 for the bag at lowes, very impressed with the contents of it so far! Wish I had done this exact thing a week ago, but you live and learn right?
Transplanted the runt again as well ><" Her short root seems like shes drying up
Stuck my finger about 1" - 1 1/2" down just recently and was a little dry, so I gave them each a couple drops of water around the base of the plant
Not sure if anyone has been successful with one or if its a waste of $10.
I had everything set to go hydro since I built my cab, but pussed out and decided to go soil for my first grow or two as I THOUGHT it would be easier haha. Couldnt imagine the headache Id have with hydro for a first go. Thanks for all the support Rick!!You only need a PPM meter if youre doing hydro or ebb n flow.
This girl I have a sick feeling is going to be the only one that makes it
Stay positive bro. The world has a funny way of happening around you the way you think it will.
I bet they all make it.
