Understand you have a basic 'kit' in 'waiting' , correct. Fear not of running out of Tea. Doc can easily ship you more....
.....Just messin Seedling......
....
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.

@Duggan I am doing a bit of tidying up in the tent and they seem really light. Top is dry I can't feel any moisture at all. Should I give them some straight RO? Or the tea?
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....

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.You will never go wrong growing in big pots....
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.

So what am I doing here? 2-3 ml of tea per gallon? The website is saying all drenches get that. Everything is still droopy.
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.

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

I bought like 8 gallons in the last couple days! I definitely need to sort out an RO system here.

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!
