FutRfarmers First Grow With QB's & Doc's High Brix

Sorry guys, I’ve had a rough day yesterday, emergencies at work, dog has to get emergency surgery for badder stones, holiday prep....

Well it looks like the repotting helped, those girls are perking up, but still recovering, see how the leaves are still puffy between the veins. Neiko’s suggestions are well advised.

Like he said, don’t be afraid of letting them dry to the point of slight wilting on the lower leaves. You’ll see it and the pots will feel like there full of feathers. Unseen to you, the roots will be growing, looking for moisture. When they are feather light and have a slight wilt, go for a full top watering or dunk, as we all have success with either method.

Letting them wilt is not good, but more importantly is to teach YOU the limit or boundary of the wet/dry cycle. As you gain experience, you will water/feed just before the wilt starts. It’s all about patience.
 
Thank you guys for coming on over to help farmer out! Dopy - sorry to hear about your rough day, I hope your dog is better now and that you have a very nice Thanksgiving, all of you too!

Farmer - so you got a few different pieces of advice for the next feed/water and really any option you go with will be fine, there may be more clues what to do when they're fully dry which is the main point here, I like how Dopy put it, the pots should feel like they're filled with feathers! Learn that weight and have patience, new growers have the urge to always be giving them something, fight that urge and be patient. If the plants look good and are not drooping, leave them to do their thing.
 
Dopy...yes..read about your dog!
Hopefully he/she makes a full recovery and shares many more happy yrs with you and your family!

Thanks Guys, the poor thing’s she’s been trying to piss but nothing comes out. One inch Stone was blocking the passage.

Farmer, it’s so easy to overwater, I’m guilty myself. Don’t succumb to the irresistible desire to keep them moist. Let those roots work for their moisture. You need a great root system before you can transplant and flip to bloom, for the best results

The new growth looks to be healthy to me so I'd remove the yellowing lower leaves and let them dry out completely. You can dribble about a 1/4 cup of water around the outside of the pots when the top dries out to promote root growth at the top of the pot but don't over do it. Now that they are getting hooked up in the new soil I don't think you need a rescue drench, just look to the new growth and if it looks good then when dry do a normal transplant drench. I wouldn't expect those pots to be dry for about 3 weeks to a month after transplanting. They should feel almost empty when you lift them. If you wait until the lower leaves start to droop you'll be at the perfect time to drench them. Patience is key. I'm sure you are checking in on them regularly so I doubt they'll get to the point of wilting. Even if they did they will bounce right back after the drench.

Thank you neiko! yes patience is being learned for sure. I trimmed all the yellow and all the new growth looks healthy and happy so now I'll let them do their thing and follow the directions when they are ready. Happy Thanksgiving:Namaste:
 
Do the pots feel like they're filled with feathers? :rofl:
