My plant is 3 days from 2 weeks old, she looks pretty good, but I was wondering should I transplant it now or wait?And how long after transplant should I start my nutrients? here is a picture of her this morning.
I water right after trans. Than next time start feeding. Sent from my SM-N960U using Grasscity Forum mobile app
for me it depends on what my ppm run off reads as to when I start feeding. if I am in rich soil and ppm run off is at or above suggested ppm reading for that stage of my plants life I just feed water until I have to start feeding nutes. then I just add calmag for the first feed and start seedling nutes mixed with calmag second feeding then third feeding I will start veg nutes with the other two. keeping pace with proper ppms. I stopped growing in solo cups I didn't care for the water retention but when I did I would cut two of the sides out on the bottom and add two slits to either side so I could peel back and keep an eye on the roots. when I could see the roots were about to need more room I would transplant then usually something like 4 or 5 nodes. that's what I use now for starter pots. I water the day before transplant so the following day after watering the soil is still moist making for a cleaner transfer and less likely to damage roots as they hold the majority of the soil around them. then I will lightly water, but especially at the transfer line where the old soil meets to get out all the air holes and to combine the two. first stage of veg 300-400ppm second stage of veg 450- 700ppm first stage of flower 750-950ppm second stage of flower 1,000-1,600ppms your numbers don't have to exactly match just something to base yours off of. as long as your plants are happy is all that matters
