Seedlings

[Lord Hypnos]

Thanks for all the info Skywalker. Very helpful. The pot these seedlings are in is 20cm diam. SHould I be thinking about transplanting yet, or leave it for say another week? I have more 20cm pots so I will use them when I do. I'll go look for some 40cm pots tomorrow.

Ok, since nobody wants to answer me, I just went out and transplanted them, hoping for the best. I left one in the same pot untouched so I know that one will keep growing. They're fucking fragile little cunts aren't they. I think I fucked up my smallest one but the other should be alright. They are all now in 20cm diam pots with fairly good drain holes. I've put them somewhere where they will rarely be exposed the sun. I'll leave them there for a couple of days. I haven't added any Seasol into the the pots. I just gave them a thorough watering. I have attached a pic. The one on the left is the one I didn't touch. The one on the right is the one I think I fucked up. Yeah, I know, its a pretty shitty photo. Well.. shit happens.

 

Bye Bye

 

Edit: Attached pic. I always fucking forget.

Hey get that seasol away from there - wait till you see some yellowing and/or sets of 5 leaves IMHO then feed at only 1/3 strength once [use a syringe to measure mililitre units or dilute the concentrate and adjust the mixing ratio] - less is better than more. After a week it should increase in growthrate and will want full strength nutes from then on [i feed every 3 waters in soil although I use peat which has no nutrient at all so you can feed it even less than that or premix the soil + nutes if you let Mother Nature feed it].

 

The plants look OK now - your root system grows at a faster rate than the top of your plant for a few weeks but it slows down to fill less area than the top [of course]. Its good to use as little soil as possible if its a moist medium and thats why it would have been better to go from 4" cups to 6" pots then to the ground, a tray or a 10" pot [go for the ground or very large pots (or bags) if you want the plant to grow to over a metre only IMO].

 

You transplanted??? Marijuana hates transplanting especially seedlings [think of your plant screaming at you when you disturb her roots - that helped me stop stunting plants from physical abuse] but it doesnt mind re-potting at all so try to use the 4, 6, 10 potsize rule I just made up the next time you grow [your roots should look a lot better than the root systems Don Burke pulls up]. You may have bonsaied your plant already actually.

 

Better to learn from your own mistakes anyway - dunno why Im telling you theyre delicate after youve found out already. They looked good IMO - no nute burn or rot - heh.
