Yes peat pots just using what i have and should of used the clear dixie cup put in a red one to see root development and will on the 3rd grow but will cut out peat pot when i plant, any general idea when to repot as i can't see the roots ? 4-5-6'' tall ? or when the first set of true leafs ?
 
will do with the link, i'm spraying 8-15 shots 2-3 times a day and the leaves are just coming over the edge of the peat pot now so will be transplanting later today or tomorrow
 
Hi - you'll know when those plants are ready for a bigger pot - the roots will start showing, that's what they are designed for, no need to transplant just stick it in some soil

those peat pots can be disaster, especially with an auto. most times they bottle the roots, and don't deteriorate fast or far enough to let the roots escape. cutting the bottom off can help at transplant if you keep the cup.

okay, i heard the peat pots where to hard & the roots struggle to get through
 
I was counting on him moving out of the peat cups actually!
yeah i was planning on cutting out the bottoms then putting in the larger pot then sliding scissors down the sides and cutting, heard roots struggle to get through & thats why people prefer the coco pots

They must be slightly different to the UK ones I use; once they have been wet once or twice they fall apart like wet paper
I have never had any issues using them with autos/coco and always just plant the pot
Cannabis roots can lift paving slabs, bit of soggy card is no problem
 
ours are like concrete lol.
the concept seems simple enough.
Ah, OK - Another thing I've learned - I'll add it to cups, quarts, 3.7L gallons, 110v DC with no fuses, Fox Farm, Happy Frog and god only knows how many nutrient brands, never mind the concept of sunshine lol

Sorry for the digression @con
 
3.7L gallons


canada used imperial gallons because we like to drink lol
everything is a metric equivalent now. most stuff is in a metric equivalent of US gallons now to help facilitate cross border trade.

we still drink real pints though. :cheesygrinsmiley:

these ones are about 1/8'' thick they are heavy duty a bit over kill
 
Happy Friday every one, end of week 3 transplanted into the final pots yesterday and went good, roots where out to edges of the pots and bottom, was planning on taking pics but in the ground by the time i realized i didn't take pics, all but 1 looked good so i gave the Godzilla Cookies Zkittles and the mystery Skywalker some LST this morning and a watering used string as a anchor and a tent peg to hold them down which worked out pretty good i did stem yoga to loosen up the stems and bent over real nice, my Gorilla Glue is probably not going to make it but will see when it was done germinating when i took it off the paper towel the tap root was caught pretty hard ( i should of just cut the paper around it) stuck it in the peat pot & sprouted then fell over so i gave it a sprinkle of worm castings and next day was standing on its own & sprayed with water for a couple days then gave it 1/3 cup of PH'd water then the leaves went limp and did not seem to be doing good so i transplanted it to see if that will help its still alive so lets see if it survives this week it will be the last pic

i did stem yoga to loosen up the stems and bent over real nice
Nice! Always good to put a little flex in the stem before you lean it.
( i should of just cut the paper around it)
Indeed!
Gorilla Glue is probably not going to make it but will see when it was done germinating when i took it off the paper towel the tap root was caught pretty hard ( i should of just cut the paper around it) stuck it in the peat pot & sprouted then fell over so i gave it a sprinkle of worm castings and next day was standing on its own & sprayed with water for a couple days then gave it 1/3 cup of PH'd water then the leaves went limp and did not seem to be doing good so i transplanted it to see if that will help its still alive so lets see if it survives this week it will be the last pic
I think now that you're leaving it alone for a while it will a lot happier. :)
