So i have a small issue...it seems that only a day goes by after watering that my plants get pale and lifeless and the top soil is bone dry but moist underneath..Could this be the lights being to close? They are about 2-3 inches away most of the time..

2-3 inches from the top of the plant is optimal for CFLs. Those little cups might not have the ability to drain as well as the plants need. When will you be transplanting?

 

[trajiksmokah]

i was planning on transplanting in a week or so. Now is it ok to start nutes the day of transplant or should i wait till next watering?

 

[420RedEyes]

When transplanting I like to use a little Super Thrive, which is great for preventing stress. Not too sure about standard nutes. What will you be using?

 

[trajiksmokah]

Dyna gro 7-9-5

 

[420RedEyes]

I'd like to say that should work no problem but as I said I am not too positive, and don't want to be responsible for the deaths of any plant. Hopefully someone else can come along and clear things up.
Good luck with the rest of the grow brother.

is this from overwatering or under?? Droopy pale leaves 2 days after watering....also they def seemed to have stopped growing no big change in the last 3-4 days..

 

[trajiksmokah]

anyone? anyone?

 

[trajiksmokah]

They were def root bound around the bottom of the cup..did a transplant hopefully all goes well...

how are they doing after the transplants?

 

[trajiksmokah]

Things are looking good after the transplant any thoughts? Im going to start nutes at next watering for sure most likely on 4/20 which will be week 3 from germ. One of them seems to be streaching a bit at the sides and a lil leaf curling going on is this heat stress?

Keep em warm 80 or so,and a RH of about 80 as well.You will see growth.Back it down twards the end of veg. to prevent mold and root rot,good luck!

OK i'll be more specific, you're right air temps should be 75-77 but for optimal root growth your soil temp should be 80 but sense most growers don't use heat mats. the binefit on the root growth of having higher air temps is greater than negative effects on veg. growth
