Hi mate. Do you think so. The soil at moment is bone dry. When I pull cup off roots look very dry. What's the remedy. Shall I just not water for a while still

It could be PH also. And I've seen it personally due to temps. What are your temps? You mention your PH but is that the water or the soil?

Your also getting some sort of burn on some of your plants. Pics in natural light is always better for people to help.

You will get more and better replies if you show the plants under natural or white light. Blurple is like camo. It's there but unless you are colour blind you not gonna see shit before you step in it. lol

Most are looking good. Have you tried putting a humidity dome over any of them. Plants have a hard time taking up water in the first couple weeks at least until they develop a root system. In the beginning they get water intake through the leaves.

The 2 smaller ones I just today took the domes off just to experiment. Do you think I should water them at the moment. Soil is very dry. Shall I add very small amount of nutrients? Thanks for your help by the way mateMost are looking good. Have you tried putting a humidity dome over any of them.

If soil is dry then they will be thirsty. I know with FFOF I don't add nutes for the first 3 weeks and then only about 1/4 strength. I also don't do solo cups. I use peat pucks to start them and then into the cardboard 3 inch cups and then directly into soil. You can see the pic.

So the cardboard cup breaks down later on when re potted. Great idea.If soil is dry then they will be thirsty.

Not too sure if breaks down but roots will push through soggy cardboard with ease. Not only that I poked holes throughout just in case. lol

So when you water your seedlings do you wait till there bone dry ? Then you water them till your get a bit of run off

I don't go totally bone dry. Cannabis likes a wet dry cycle. Even with my present plants at day 34 of flower I water then skip two full days and water again. Been following that regimen for a few weeks now. Most plants drown because people tend to over water. The Proper Way To Water A Potted Plant very informative.....
