Thank you dear friends
Well it wasn't the transplant but 99% was our fault again....

Pine Apple Chunk and baby bag seed are the only one standing
Deep Cheese had a serious drainage problem in pot and even though it has holes the water didn't leave the bottom= very muddy soil so she got some mold problems

Both me and my husband are "learn by mistakes" and we both need to test things can't just..let it be..
Now we both have learned our lesson and stop fiddling about with testing...

unforgiven thank you for picture I got the visual when you described it earlier. It is quite good.


In general I have a question:
I have a huge bag of perlite
1 10 liter bag of soil ( 6.5 PH )
1 huge bag of dried horse manure

If I mix compost + manure+ soil and let it sit for 1 month and then go half soil mix and half perlite with a seed grown in coco pellet
is is good ??

But I need some help with my soil question...

So I have Pineapple Chunk alive and kickin' but not growing. She is over 4 weeks old so I have started giving her some light fertilizer.
But she is small.


She has a little manure in soil and is not being watered often. 1/2 liter water every 5 days and run of water being emptied.

Baby bag seed is growing too.

We have enough lights for them and pots are big enough.


Is White Widow a good strain for Mediterranean climate and in pot? Is it an easy lady to grow or does she have fuzzy ideas about nutes, lights temps etc?

I don't know about the need to cook the soil but I do know u need to add the perlite. For my seedlings I use a seedling soil mixed with vermiculite...50/50 blend. Started doing that at the end of the season and it works great until trandplant. I don't need perlite at all with the vermiculite.

I have heard that white widow takes it all and keeps growing. I wish u lived close so I could pop over and get some dirt under my nails.

So much to learn...so many journals to follow.

If the same thing is happening to all your plants then IMO, it's gotta be an environmental issue. Too much water is the biggest killer, it also slows growth dramatically as the plant will struggle to take up nutrients. I'd say the problem lies in the soil.

 

[Lady G2HM]

Sorry .... have some birdie num nums... It's best to keep your first grow as simple as possible, saving testing for more experienced times. But the straw idea is awesome..

Hi Birdie,
Been watching from the sidelines! Don't give up over a few failures, you will learn what works for your plants and environment. I'm rather into growing soil, but that is a subject and thread of its own. In my experience, most leggy cannabis seedlings are caused by inadequate light, not soil problems. The distance from your LEDs to your seedlings (and plants once mature) is critical, and requires trial and error, or a light meter. All LED panels are far from being created equal, there is so much variability in the LED panel market, and you can't know your light values at a given distance. If you do get leggy seedlings again, perhaps try to gently pile soil loosely, not packed, around the stem all the way up to the leaves. The stem will produce roots in a week or so after the soil pileup.

Keep trying, if you can grow veggies, you can grow cannabis. I promise!

Keith

What do u want to know about soil bird? And top info above.dont experiment until ur comfortable with ur achivements.then play its easy to over water.if i can be of any help just ask

 

[dr.h00k]

Sorry bout' Yer babies AB...with that soil mixture...as long as the manure is well aged and likewise your compost...you prolly don't have to cook it ...butt seeing as you have to source seeds...won't hurt...but yes...lots of perlite...as for your chunk...I think its a combination of things...first off, your soil might not be providing what a growing girl needs...in which case you will have to feed her some nutes(diluted to 1/4 or 1/3 strength...not sure how you are watering...but water away from the plant and get those roots searching for water...it seems they are in a large enuff pot, so you gotta' get them to utilize the space...finally use all the lights you have...your wattage is just equivalant...so give her lots and keep it close...but not too close...I fear she will be a runt...but given some luv and attention, could still produce for you...best of luck...cheerz...h00k...

So sorry Birdie :-( , let's hope the remaining ladies kick it up a notch for you. In the interim have hit off of this

Blessed buds to you and keep on keeping on
