My First Journal: First Time LED And 3rd Grow

Likely because they're in massive pots mate. Lots of the growing should be going on below the soil at the moment too.

I hope so lol they look pathetic compared to @Buds Buddy n planted few days before ino I need more lighting in there could be another reason why it's so slow

 

[SmokeyB]

That's them now

Vets probably right. Those pots are pretty big for small plants unless they are Auto-flowers. Makes the plant grow slower.

Yeah @VetSmoke85 said bout doing in in smaller pots but done two auto grows but ended up rubbish so gone pheno but am guna do smaller pots next an transplant them fort it wouldn't make difference as autos are like that all learning curve your massive compared to mine that using mars tws2000?

 

[VetSmoke85]

I'm no expert but you probably want to transplant at least twice before going into those big pots. Here's my critical mass at 13 days. Started in a little party cup and then went into this 1L pot a few days ago. Yours will get there mate just take a little longer and you'll have to be careful not to over water them.

There's no way those little plants are drying out those pots daily. How are you judging they need feeding and how are you doing the watering?

The Proper Way To Water A Seedling In A Large Final Container

In the beginning, you may even want to start your seed directly in the final container, simply by putting it one inch deep, pointy end down. It is surprising to some how often this works, even though mother nature does it all the time. If you go this route, lightly mist the area around the...

I bin giving half a liter on all 5 water with nutes about 2 inch round the plant so don't over water? Maybe I should do a liter on all 5?

Yeah I'm not feeding no wear near enough wait for it to take that little bit and give a good feed

 

[VetSmoke85]

Can't remember what soil you're using but I doubt they'll need nutes just yet.

 

[SmokeyB]

Biobizz all mix mate bin giving just under a 1m to a 1l bottle

 

[VetSmoke85]

Yeah should be plenty in the soil then. Mine are in light mix and haven't had or needed nutrients yet.

 

[SmokeyB]

Ok IL just pH the water then for for week or 2 cheers bro

It's easier to add stuff when it's needed than try to take away. They'll let you know when they're hungry.

Is that tap water at 8.1 or after you've added something to it? Try to get the ph of your feed down to 6.3-6.5 if you can. That's the ideal range. Your soil will probably buffer that up further so you'll get a better range for the plant to absorb the different nutrients.
