Watto Grows Skunk#1 and PPxWS

[grok]

from what u said..i reckon it is extreme transplant shock...however im a newbie grower so dont place much weight on my words....i hesitated replying even..since advice from a newbie isnt what you are looking for...but no-one else has replied yet..so i thought why the fuck not!!

your pH is probably off, flush the plants for a few days, give them a misting with some really weak nutes while they are being flushed and then begin them on really low doses of nutrients until a decent root ball has formed and you should be sweet

 

if its not your pH, its transplant shock in which case a flush and low levels of nutes will bring the plant back on track anyway, although it wouldnt be needed...i'd flush to be on the safe side though, you dont want to risk losing the strains incase your wrong

The PH of the water they were getting turned out to be 8.0, I never thought to test it because my other plants all grew on it, but that would explain why they grew so slow. I'm flushing them with 6.5 now and they are looking better but I'll probably lose one

They are definately getting better, but check out the insect I snapped on one of the leaves, Ive seen them hanging around a lot lately.

KILL IT!

 

Might be worthwhile putting a soda bottle over the bubs to keep them warm and safe.

Watched ur video... have you ever made a potato cannon??? U can shoot a potato miles with a little hairspray and a match!

The 2 skunk#1's ain't going down without a fight, still not the healthiest looking seedlings though.

 

I am predicting the loss of at least 2 plants, they're leaves are curling under despite re-gaining colour. From what Ive read generally leaves curling under means over fertilizing but they haven't had nutes in ages, so I gave them a tiny bit of Ag-Grow in case it's some kind of nute deficiency.

 

My 'backup' WSxPP which I never transplanted is slowly becoming more and more retarded, at first it decided to grow side ways, but now I propped it up its started growing a 'ball' on top of itself, very strange I call it 'the mutant'. Despite being mutated and retarded the wsxpp has healthy green leaves, unlike all the transplanted seedlings, perhaps this could mean there is something wrong with they're soil, alternatively it could just be because they're still stressed out from the transplant.

This is a potato cannon, all the rounds except one are potato's. At first I started with combustion guns like your talkin bout (except to avoid burning yourself you use a BBQ sparker NOT a match ) This gun uses stored air pressure to fire the spuds (among other things). This thing is way more reliable than combustion guns, and to give you an idea of the power difference, hairspray guns go to 30-40PSI but with this pneumatic cannon I don't shoot below 110PSI (BTW the shots in the video were only 40PSI as I didn't have a compressor back then) If your interested in these things then check out my newest gun its a pneumatic marble cannon that uses a more complicated piston valve that I made from hot glue and neoprene. My new gun

Ha! Excellent! I never thought anyone could improve on a potato cannon...but U did!

BTW, You might want to feed those seedlings a bit of fish emulsion, they look like they need N and maybe some zinc and iron as well.

The ball looks to me like it was kinked.
