    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    What do you all think about these little guys after 6 days above ground? Should I be watering further out yet? Do these look about average to you?

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    DAY 9 I’m trying to water these things as carefully as I can watering these things since they are clearly in pretty large pots. As far as I know, autos should go directly into their final pots and not go through any transplant shock which would slow their growth on their already limited growth...

    My First Soil Grow (May 2020)

    First of all, PLEASE feel free to comment in this grow journal if you have any suggestions or comments. I’ll actually most likely be asking some questions too since I’m still very much a beginner. I started with 3 Autos in rockwool. OG Kush, Northern Lights and White widow. The rockwool cubes I...

    Little update. I’ve not transferred the cubes to soil yet as I was really hoping to see some roots come out of the cube soon and I also would like to just hold off until my two new seeds I started in rapid rooters pop so I could get them all in soil at once. If the roots start to show sooner...

    Help Diagnose My Seedlings Please!

    I think I’ve read that transplanting more than is necessary causes additional stress/recovery time and for a plant with a built in timed life cycle like auto flowers have, this could diminish your return come harvest. In other words the clock is ticking. This is why I was wondering if these 18...

    I threw 2 more seeds into some rapid rooter plugs to see if I can catch up to these two rockwool seedlings. I feel like the rockwool was just a bad idea for a beginner. Being that these are all Autoflowering strains, are they still only going to have the same lifespan as far as time goes and...

    I will be using Stepwell SS-W super soil. Would you suggest throwing these cubes in a solo cup with some soil or just directly into their larger permanent homes?

    I have not been testing or adjusting the PH of the water. I realize this could lock out certain nutes and I will be investing in some PH equipment ASAP. My reasoning for stopping the nutes was just thinking there could be a build up of nutrients within the rockwool since when watering they don’t...

    The only thing I had been using was my starter nutrients diluted in water. I soaked the cubes in it for germination at the manufacturers suggested amount For conditioning growth medium, in my case rockwool, and I was using this at about 1/4 strength starting at around day 7 once some true leaves...

    Nope, I don’t see any roots coming out at all. Could it be that these particular cubes are too dense and these plants are just not growing for that reason?

    I dip the bottoms in water for 2 or 3 seconds and then that kind of wicks up. It’s the only way I’ve found that doesn’t get them too soaked

    It was my understanding that you’re supposed to wait until the roots begin to show through before moving them to in my case, soil. That’s what I’ve been waiting for. I thought maybe the stunted growth could be because all of the current growth is happening in the roots right now, but since both...

    First real post but I’ve been lurking for a while. I’m wondering if anyone can help me diagnose my seedlings and give me some tips to get them growing again. They’re 18 days old from seed, one has grown much more than the other as you can see in the pictures. The larger one is a White Widow...

    Hey! been browsing for a while and your advice seems on point when I see it so I have a newb question if you have time. I have 3 seedlings in 1” rockwool that I pre-soaked with starter nutes before placing the seeds in. They all came up and I’m 8 days in from seed. My question is how often...
