First post-First grow, HELP!!!

Fluxing is one of the very best micro techniques. I find small containers to be inferior to a larger container that will fit. It is the plant that takes up the room not the container. So as long as room is already taken up by the plant, you save nothing by using a small container. That said, the plant doesn't care and will grow just as well in a tiny container, but it puts more responsibility on the grower to be diligent and quick to respond to any change.
Good luck. Post pictures if you have any questions. Include as much info as you have. If you have good light, you will get stoned.

 

Dont know how I could help yet, but I'll be around ^.^

 

First of all, I'm dwc, so I'm not experienced in your medium.
Second, you need to provide a lot more info about your grow to get help.
Environmental conditions, what your medium is, what nutrients if any you are using, and maybe in your case the EC of your run off.
Again I'm dwc, just throwin a bone.

 

so when you say topped ? those are cuttings ?

 

hmm they are not looking good. the yellowing and twisting sys they are not very healthy. they need to get some growth before you do anything. by the looks of them you could do well with just starting with new seeds or cuttings. they look weeks away from recovery. to be honest they have growth characteristics of a root infection. that thick twisted dark green on one is referred to as rosette pattern growth .

 

compost tea is good but it will probably not be a stand alone full spectrum solution. not sure about the aloe but if that is the root your taking make sure to Do a lot of reading on what mineral nutrient will be most prevalent in each organic fertilizer. you need to provide the full 12 N P k Ca Mg S Fe Mn Cu B Z Mo
even if one is missing the whole plant will die .

 

both .the thick dark green growth. the yellowing between veins called interveinal chlorosis. . they look like the cutting that would not root. I would be really surprised if they had roots . I have had cuttings that just sat there looking like that until they shriveled and died .

 

no rosette is an indication of root disease. there is no stretch as there is no growth. dont play around until you actually have plants to take care of. . keep it simple.if you top a plant you need s plant to .top. at least lest it get 5 or 6" and a few nodes.

 

what is your reason you think you need to control stretch? plants dont stretch they grow . stretching is usually a sign of high heat.
