You're off and running for sure. Good start. How long have they been in those cups? When you transplant them I would bury the stem right up to the first real branch.

+Reps for jumping in the game!

You added to the water right?

And that looks like soil that prolly had some nutes in it already. You might want to be a little careful adding more. There's a little burn going on there.

Do you have a way to check ppm and pH?

I will watch this one. The white rocks you were talking about is called purlite, it is not nutrients. It is made for you soil to be a little more airy and allows oxygen to get down to the roots. This promotes more and faster root growth.

Welcome to the 420 website and if you have any questions, everyone here is pretty good about giving good info.

UPDATE 911!... MY bubble gum looks funny

What you need to do is flush you plant with pHed water, around 6.5-6.8 is what I like. Looks like you got some possible nute burn going on.

 

[LotzOfTrycs]

I would probably use a gallon or two...check the pH coming out of the soil and that will give you an idea on how much to flush.

see when i got it .. it was a clone in rock wool and i planted in Supper Soil and been using bottle water...do you think the SOIL Nuites are burning it?...i havent add anything to the soil just whats in the soil already

thanks guys

 

[LotzOfTrycs]

Yeah MG is really hot soil.

 

[chubbysj]

Update: Thank to all your feed i have resurch this problem and it does to apare to be Nute burn..its was probably caused by me not putting enough water in the fresh soil...when i was watering i wasnt letting it drain out the bottom i thought that would be to much water for such a young plant... so after reading and reading i started flushing last night...gona wait to see what happens...then flush again

thanks you guys
this what im useing worked out good for my chillies lol

 

[LotzOfTrycs]

Some run off is good. I make sure I have run off with every watering and feeding.
