Dueling Purple Haze In Living Soil

[Brudley]

I did a slight up pot this morning to help with hot soil. Also dont appear to be drying fast enough in solo cups! The additional soil is a mix of some basic organic potting soil with coco air and perlite added to allow plenty of O2 to the roots
Two other seedlings having similar issues . No additional water added, need to dry! May need to move fan to increase air flow in the nursery.

I have a purple haze in veg now. I would offer help, but I still haven't even finished my first grow I am going to follow along here anyways and see how these girls turn out. Happy Growing.

Already looking better since repotting this morning. I clipped the yellow tips off the lower leaves to get them iff the dirt. She looks like a little clone now.

This is the other Purple Haze Auto of this journal i call Purple Haze #4. Already up potted a few days ago. She had the start of yellowing leaves before transplant. New growth looks good. Clipped her baby leaves,

So here is big sister Purple Haze #1
Shes in a 3 gallon pot with Ocean Forest and amendments. Looking perfect!!
PH #2&3 didnt make it through my germination experiments,

12/12 Purple Haze #5 looking much better. Still not ready for any more water . PH#5 progressing.

 

[Brudley]

12/14 Both plants doing OK, I went ahead and snipped tips off PH#4. Funny as it seems that PH#5 may catch up with her sister since that she is in a smaller pot and able to get some air. The nodes are so close, the one in the larger pot is at node 4, I'm thinking about topping this one to see how it does. The nodes are soo tight its hard to do much training. I'm open to any feedback or advice from the gallery...

BIG SISTER!!

The big sister is only in a 3 gallon pot with my regular soil mix. The two babies will eventually be in 5 gallon pots with living soil so very anxious and excited to see how it turns out.

Tighter nodes is usually preferable, when you bend them over to LST you get 2 colas every 1/2" of growth.

Roots get oxygen from properly aerated soil and from dissolved oxygen in the water.
I go straight from a solo cup at 7-9 days to a 20+ gallon pot and my roots grow crazy fast and fill the whole pot.

Not sure what you got planned with the Living Soil but in such a small pot will need to be fed quite a bit with plant available nutrients.

These are autoflower plants so I haven't had one fill a 3 gallon yet. The Living Soil I'm using is to be mixed in the bottom 1/3 of the 5 gallon pot to give her everything she needs to finish. Hoping not to do anything but water her. My soil is pretty hot to start with so don't want to burn them up.

Ahh, didn't realize or forgot these were autoflowers.

That might work then, autos usually don't eat much.

Both girls looking good! I got me a new scale today to weigh plants to see how much water they are holding. Very helpful for smaller plants.

PH4 got the snip today at 5th node. PH5 got a good watering after I took the photo.

I started a new experiment this evening using tiny grow bags. Should be interesting

My new favorite grow tool for seedlings

Purple Haze#4 - Watered a couple cups of water on edges only. Added a stake to keep the top bent down.

Purple Haze#5 - shes catching up, this is actually yesterdays picture

Big Sister, Purple Haze #1 - Continues to look amazing.

Sweet restraints!

Purple Haze#4 is getting a good head start on her little sister. I trimmed a few light blockers and her original set of leaves. Continue to open here up with LST.

 

[Brudley]

Purple Haze#5 finally got her up pot, the root ball looked great. I was able to hold in my hand while I spread some Great White on the roots. Hopefully she will perk up in the new pot.

Big sister Purple Haze #1 still continues to amaze!
