They are Auto white widow, planted on sunshine advanced rainforest blend soil. and I've been feeding them plain tap water with ph at 6.5-7.0 and ppm meter reads 235ppm. i have light on 24hours and they've been this size for 4 days.
They're not dying. At first, most of the growth is underground as the plants send down roots. After a week or two, they'll start shooting up.
what about some of them curling like that is it normal? on plants1 the top one is curling down and plants2 the middle and bottom one look all twisted up. I thought i was over watering them. Should i start feeding them, with big boom? the food in that soil is only good for a week. and last question should i transplant to fox farm ocean would that be a problem?
Don't start feeding them yet. They're not ready for that. The curling leaves could be from over watering. How often do you water them and how much at a time? I use a spray bottle and just spray heavily two or three times a day at this stage. I don't know much about transplanting, as I plant into a 5 gallon bucket and just leave it in there for the entire grow. I do know that it's preferred to transplant into the same soil, but I couldn't imagine it hurting much.
I think youre right ive been feeding them too much water. I fed 1/4 cup everyday plus mist the top. I just bought some 2 gallon pots and ffo soil to transplant them to. My friend said to just shake the excess dirt of the root and transplant them, i dont know if thatl be a good idea tho. I heard autos shouldnt be transplanted. Being i made the mistake of starting them in a cup, i will have to transplant them, but shaking the dirt of the root this early scares me.
No. Don't shake the soil from the roots. Just tip the cup upside down and gently squeeze until the whole mass comes out. Some people say to water first, but that just makes the mass fall apart like mud IMO, and the one time I did transplant, I did it dry with no problem. I watered heavily after it was in the new pot.
I wont be shaking it. Being i didint water it yet I'll go ahead and transplant them in a few hours. I appreciate the help.
I word give that at least another week before transplanting, it's like not even 1 cm tall not really gonna shit for roots yet keep it in that for a week or two until it needs to be transplanted, and then once you do it will explode it its new pot
I'm growing Aurora autos from Nirvana.com it Stresses the Plant out big time when you transplant them. But you have to do if before it's too late. Do what Blix said! But I heard watering them if they're in Solo cups before you transplant them it's easier! just don't give them water or if there already wet which you said you overwater them just spray the top soil a little bit! NEVER SPAY THE LEAVES! It Takes nutes from the leaves and they can dry out a little. Just be careful when you water them that's all. Good Luck! Here's my autos the last pic is an auto that got nitrogen toxicity. so I flushed it now it's on its road back to recovery! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
That soil looks Woody? It can be bad for the roots and pH!!! Sent from my iPhone using Grasscity Forum mobile app
Ok, I will wait another week. Im beating my self up for starting them in cups. I found out after i had planted them that autos shouldnt be transplanted. I appreciate all the help.
