I had to transplant my baby plants into 4.5L pots and i flushed them before i did so because i stupidly gave them water straight from the faucet without correcting the ph for a couple of days and they locked up turned yellow and started burning growth stalled almost to a stop. i put the seedling in straigh up compost and at first i thought maybe the compost was too strong for them but then i realized i was not correcting the water (stupid) so i flushed thoroughly and did an emergency transplant into a new soil mix that goes as follows: Hi-Soil earth 40% Compost Hi-Soil 30% worm castings 10% peat moss 10% Perllite 10% i put a layer of volcanic rock at the bottom for drainage the final mix was a little humid still, the top layer was a little dry this morning but im just gonna leave it i suspect i also overwatered the babies in my desperate attempt to get them nice and green again. i did all this yesterday and i see barely any growth or change any thoughts??? by the way theyre under a 250W MH bulb im keeping it about 6 feet from the plant. temps are around 75-80F and humidity stable 50% this is how they look like right now 10 days old (last 4 days they have not grown almost at all) any comments will be greatly appreciated
6 feet for only 250w and they're only sprouts? You should get that light at least 2 or 3 feet closer and then slowly raise them as the plants grow taller. Get the lights as close to the plants as you can without burning them.
im sorry i meant 3 feet away jejeje type-o. thanks any comments on the rest? at this point i cant think of anything else to do but wait to see if theres any positive change
i think you can get that light much closer... there's a graph that shows exactly how far away lighting should be .... lemme see if i can find it nice cab though
no worries buddy i think i found something similar to what yer saying on google thanks for the comments
sorry man.. epic fail on my part.... keep the pics coming.... maybe start a journal if you have more pics... sweet cab.... love to see more of that
