Hell yeah man. I had forgot my cal mag too but it came in yesterday. I'm hoping to maybe transplant mine from the jiffy pellets to their final home Tom. They shot up like crazy while I was gone to work. Might do a quarter of nutes too
So I come home today to this, so fucking excited haha. When should I transplant these into their final 5 gal bucket ?
Think that is better than into solo cup and then 5 gal. I meant to get 3 gal pots but ordered the wrong ones lol
They will likely flower in 3 or 4 weeks.
Hey man, stopping in again to check things out. Glad to see ya got some healthy babies popping up!
Once there is roots shooting out of the peat pellet, plant into the 5 gallon containers, completely skip the solo cups because an autoflower only has such a long veg time (2-4 weeks most times).. If you have to do a transplant in between you risk stressing the plant and it may not grow for a couple days. Since you started in peat pellets this is the simplest method, just don't overdo it with the water and spread it around the outside edges, not directly at the peat pellet, this will help get the roots growing and searching for their water.
That's what I would do anyways, not saying you have to ^^^ I go from solo cup to final container but only because I start everything in a solo cup or a bit bigger container and transplant at 2 weeks generally.
As for nutes I would wait until they have established the first 2 nodes some, closer to 2 weeks old. The cotyledon leaves store enough energy to keep a plant going a couple of weeks without added nutes. Again, that is my preference. 1/4 strength shouldn't hurt them but ya don't want to overdo it either
Looking great otherwise and like I said, once you see roots coming out of them peat pellets get em planted. That way you don't risk the roots getting to much light or getting rotted.
Great info Zoot, as well as one of your previous posts to this thread! BUT, these are autoflowering strains my friend
May even be a week before they need water where they are still small. My bad.. smoked too much last night.. guess I was on "auto" pilot haha go straight into the bigger ones then bro.. just be vigilant with feeding..
Hell yeah man I'm getting the hang of it. I noticed one has a growth stunt and another had a yellow tip so I lightly watered around the edges with a low dose of nutes and cal mag. I'm gonna let it dry good before I water againNot a problem! I have grown a few successful auto's and few crappy ones as well, I was also in the same position not long ago and with not much experience even growing inside, trying to mimic nature and auto strains were the quickest way to learn I found.
I hadn't heard that before about the peat pellets, learn something new every day. But like I said, I don't use them myself. They sure do make planting very easy though especially going into the final pot right away for an auto. Maybe I will grab some to use for my auto's from now on. I myself always like to get that root system established in a smaller container first and then move up, but may be a thing just for my photo girls now
Very good work though, just remember now not to water until the plants start to show signs of needing it. You will notice the droopy leaves once they grow a little more. If they are fairly perky then they shouldn't need water, you want them roots to grow and go searching for the water and establish a nice root system for the flowering period. As long as youd use a lot of water and saturate the grow medium you should be good
Haha, I know what that's like some nights. My purple kush that I grew (and only have a little left) does the same thing to me
They will also tell you when you need to add more nutrients, more or less heat and light and whether or not there is an issue at the roots ( when leaf tips curl/claw and turn down) These plants will tell you everything once you watch them and learn what they are telling you. It takes a bit of time but you will get it for sure!
Thanks for the help man they all look strong except this one candy cane. Idk if I touched the tap root on accident or notGot a picture of this yellow tip? Is it on one of the true leaves or the cotyledons? Definitely let it dry up now before water again. Like I said before, the plants will tell you when they want water
Man you are a fucking life saver Hahaha. I've done so much research and put my money where my mouth is but now I'm scared and trying to not mess it up lol
Alright man all 3 of them are looking good, I pushed some dirt around that one like you advised. On one white widow a leaf is curling as I circled below and my one candy cane isn't growing at all. Any suggestions man?
I don't mind answering your questions at all man. You've helped tremendously lol. After the first week I left tap water out and then ph it. I added a 1/4 nutes but only one gallon between the 4 plants and I watered around the edges so roots would seek water. And none of it ran off. I did everything the same so idk why it's not growing and the other ones are growing great. Oh yes it is the tiny one with the yellow tip
I hope I can recover her lol. I debated on giving it any and read a few things about giving them after a week bc coco needs it. I won't any more till it's time . I didn't really think a 1/4 would have much of an effect but I'm still such a noob so bear with haha. I sure do appreciate the help tho. I'm all ears
When you say two different, like what kind of differences?
