One of my plants are an auto flower.(Red dragon) others are bag seeds. I was wondering if anyone could help me plz if need anymore info on plant and what I’m using just ask... the top is red dragon the bottom is bag seed
You have no drainage in your pots (perlite etc) This will not help root development / growth. How many hours of sun are they getting a day? Tiny for a month old mate!
Has good drainage. Roots are growing good I transplanted the red dragon a couple days ago into perlite and soil. And is in sun all day so probs 14hrs of light
The soil has bark in it for drainage if that’s what u mean but when I transplant it will be added with perlite.
Morning mate No - bark will not drain effectively mate Get that perlite in there and watch growth explode.
because you are able to hold that ball of dirt together with no roots going through it is crazy that little plant must be drowning.
It was only just holding together was about to fall to pieces. I was honestly getting worried coz I could feel it about to break an it’s soil btw not dirt
Do youse reckon I should transplant them tomorrow into perlite when I get up. Coz I’d have to get bigger pots
you would let that ball fall apart try to get what you can off and plant in nice 50/50 soil/perlight. also if u were planning to go to a big pot and you are not familiar with watering for root training then I would go into a 2 or 3 gallon pot to be safe.
The problem with transplanting is that mucky clump will never have proper drainage. Only the new soil around the clump will have good drainage so you'll still have to be careful not to over water. The new soil will dry out first while that clump is still wet. Learn the feel of weight from a dry container vs a wet container and use that to know when to water
Their roots need air in addition to water. They are being drowned, and your good drainage is what's kept them alive. I really like fabric pots because they give the roots a lot of room to breathe. You should probably replace out the material around the plants with drier soil that has a good amount of perlite mixed in, and you might also want to consider punching holes in your pot to emulate an air pot. You might also need to place it in stronger, more direct sun.
Thank you and it’s get direct sunlight like all day I have it in a spot where the sun always hits it I put shade cloth over it tho but took that down today
Keep it handy to shade out the noontime sun if you see the plants can't take it, but they've got a couple of sets of leaves already. They shouldn't be tender in that way anymore. Try to get a handle on soil moisture, and best of luck.
