They say "NIE-CO-ROL nieuwkoop aalsmeer holland" on um,you proly could find a more detailed on-line resorce,but they are better than i ever thought,got like 30 for around $2 each a long time ago and just started using them to coral my non-lst girls into a smaller foot print so colas would get the good stuff.

Seems this false seed pod is synonymous with swollen calyxes and nothing to worry about, Thanx man.

Looks like it's time for me to transplant from 16oz cups into 1 gal grow bags as the roots are starting to curl around at the bottom of the cups. I currently have a 50/50 mix of FF OF & pearlite but will be going to a 75/25 mix based on recommendations here.

P3290042.jpg

I have not fed any nutes as of yet but am wondering if I should consider it at this point or not. I am going to use FF big bloom, grow big & tiger bloom. Will this addl. FF OF soil give a shot of nutes at first or should I feed something else?

My one qt. soil plants were TX @ 3 weeks and were 3" tall,they were ready and the new soil greened um up for about a week but i did start them at that time with 1/4 nutes.

Looks like I've got a few more roots showing than you do in this pic. I was thinking 1/4 nutes to start & see how they react. Did you give nutes at the time of TX or after that 1st week?

Could this root bunching at the bottom be responsible for the semi-constant minor drooping? Looks like maybe I should have TX a little earlier?

1st, man those really grew fast, my almost 2wk old plant still look like seedlings. how old are they again? yea, u need to transplant asap, water them, & then the next day, give them 1/4 strength nutes. ask oci which ones to use & how much, i think he uses those, i could be wrong, but yes i think they will need nutes after u transplant.

as long as u dont see signs of overwatering, or slow growth u should be ok. though it would be good for them to dry out 1 or 2 times to stimulate more thc production.

Thanks man, I really appreciate that coming from you! They are at day 15 from sprout.

Could you post a pic of your 2 weekers so I have some comparison?

Does the drooping look like anything to worry about? I see so many pics of "peppy" leaves, & mine look like they could use a little viagra sometimes!

I'm picking up some T5's today for clones & possibly some of the veg., as I've read a lot of good things about them.
