Understand you have a basic 'kit' in 'waiting' , correct. Fear not of running out of Tea. Doc can easily ship you more....:slide:.....Just messin Seedling......:passitleft:....
Not familiar with that soil mix,...i will investigate. Ok, normally two days after a watering will bring on tremendous growth and vigor, and great posture,...yours are clearly not happy , and they should be. That water you are using, ..the bottled stuff. Is that 'spring', or 'distilled'? Also , when was the last time they got straight water?

Only distilled RO water. I have been feeding each time.
 
Yes, just looked up that soil, briefly. It's a high quality mix, but not high brix and contains a pre-loaded amendment. You stated that u have not followed the label instructions . So , basically , this is how it works. You needed to start giving low strengths for the first while , in veg, and increase that , only after the plant is larger and more demanding on the soil. All sorts of things come into play , however , like pot size, lighting, enviro, etc.
When the plant is fairly small, and in a larger pot, it will do very well for a long time without the addition of added nutes. But, if thats the way you grow , that soil will run outta gas sooner , than later. Plants grown in smaller pots have a much higher demand for the extra nutes.
 
Give them both RO and Tea. But no added nutes....Only if the pots are dry!!!
I would love to tell you to give them some Transplant too,..but...but.....

So I will prepare to mix up the tea next time up. The smaller plant has a little weight to it still.

Also.....I could go grab another bag of this BioTerra and put them into 15 gallon fabric pots no problems with that. The bag is about $30 and a 5 min walk from my door (that is why we chose this.)

I have 5 x 15 gallon fabric pots on deck here and I kinda would like to see what they are like in that tent.
 
You will never go wrong growing in big pots....:surf:

I love an adventure.....we will give it a shot here. The little shop opens up tomorrow, so I will stop in on my way back tomorrow and pick up a bag.
I will wait until the transplant to do that tea drench. Hopefully this will all go down tomorrow night.

Came down off my cloud this morning....I need two bags + 2 or more gallons of water. Probably won't be able to accomplish all that today, but I will see what I can do. I might have to push the soil back to Thursday....in that case I will not wait on the tea. I will get a couple gallons of water on my way back and see how light they are. I am guessing they are both gonna be bone dry though.
 
Give them 5 mls. /gal....Do not give them any of those nutes, straight water with the Tea is all.....but only if pots are ready for water, ok.
 
I'm pretty sure you have too much of a good thing in those pots. They have a really deep green to them ...and are curling 'under' , when they should be flat , at least, preferably reaching up a little. That soil is no where near a good starting point for high brix growing,..it has way too much K and way too much 'organic' matter in it.
Be nice to get this grow outta the way and start in with Doc's gear....anyhow , we will do our best to get u thru this one....cheers.

Yeah, again...I definitely want to make the best out of this one, but I don't consider I have even started until I am using that kit. :)
I just want to get these a bit bigger and flip.

Alright....the bigger one is ready, and the runt will take some more time. Gonna go grab a gallon and get it done.

Grab more than one gal....pfft!
 
RO systems are pretty wasteful from what I've read, you have to run like 3 or 4 gallons to get 1, I think....

I get fresh and free spring water!
