More pictures later, I just wanted to update quickly. The plants seem to be slowly recovering.

My girlfriend is getting back from a trip today. She visited Belize Mexico etc. and said that while she was down their she bought weed that had seeds in them. So she noticed the kid again later and asked himwhat kind of weed it was to which he responded Sativa...

So I'm excited to see if any of the seeds germinate for half way across the world...

I would think alot of the bud over there is Sativa and growing outdoors. I'm sure the seeds will germinate, I got mine from The Netherlands (halfway around the world) sent thru the mail and they germ'd. But that doesn't mean anything for the strain of the bud from Mexico. Unless it's some goody!
Cuz I get reg bud all the time with seeds in it. I throw 95% of them away unless it's good bud.

Day 29 since sprout....Some of them are recovering nicely while others are still looking terrible

The drooping has turned to curling of the leaves it seems, and the new growth on some is turning pale greenish yellow...

Day 30,

Fed today with

5ml Flora micro (5-0-1)
3 ml Iguana Juice (4-3-6)
1 drop superthrive.

I now only have 3 sick plants, the rest have started there recovery. Some of the bigger ones that weren't harmed or droopy after transplant have started exploding since I started feeding.

I have two bag seeds from Belize and two from Guatamala that are germining. I'm hoping atleast one of them cracks. I've been having terrible luck germing bagseeds. I tried 20 or so that were a few years old last week and after a week of germing none cracked and they started to mold...I've never had problems germing but I've also never used bag seeds... I'm awaiting my order from attitude to start my autos, my plan is to allow the autos two to three weeks at 20/4 before switching the rest of my room to 12/12. I'm Lsting some plants and I'm going to super crop some as well.

More then likely, I still have another month of veg as I don't expect my seeds for atleast another week.

The 100 mls of flora grow is actually flora bloom, so it's 0-5-1, so combined with my micro it would be 5-5-5, using my current regime, it's at 9-3-7 combining the micro with the iguana juice. Thoughts

And then there were 7...

Seeing as how I have 12 seeds on the way from attitude, I decided to thin the field and garbaged by worst plant that never recoved...The roots were about half of the dnesity of when I transplanted and going brown so I know it suffered from root rot along with deficiencies etc. I just couldn't seem to bring her back no matter what... I don't feel bad at all, I learned my first few grows that leaving stunted plants to flower just ends up in wasted space and a few g's.

I decided to only continue with lst on the two I ahve going right now, I'm going to try super cropping the rest when they get to be about 16 inches. They seem to be a little more slow growing then previous grows but thankfully I'm not in a rush to harvest so I don't mind vegging longer. The last two grows, I had a light schedule mishap around day 30-33 in both grows and decided to just leave it flowering...

Today is day 31. I'll likely post pics at day 35 unless anyone is interested for pics now.

Day 33,

Plants seem to be doing alright. They are not drooping at all anymore but a few of them have lower yellow leaves with brown spots on them.
But the upper growth on them is green and doing well.... I don't know if I possibly overnuted a little or not. Also, my temperature swings alot during night and day cycle. I'm running 20/4 and temps are 78 with the lights on and 55-60 with the lights off...Could this be affecting the leaves.


I need to water tonight so any input would be appreciated, I don't know if I should just give them water or flush them or feed them...

If they have been drooping, and you haven't watered in a couple days and they are starting to not droop as much. If this is the case, then I would not water again for another day or so. Could be overwatered. I think you should look in the "plant problems" section of the forum.

I decided to feed because two fo them were going yellow all over with some brown spots, looked like a deficiency.

I fed:

6ml Floramicro (5 0 1)
6ml Flora bloom (0 5 4)

Phd to 6.0. I will be monitering them closely over the next 24 to 48 hours to see if the feeding improves them or hinders them.

They had bounced back from the drooping after there first decent feeding. This is upped to about half dose. They are day 33 veg but I would say due to stunting they are only really have about 20 days of veg on them. I don't have experiance with coco so It's frustrating. When I recieve my seed order from attitude I will witch back to promix and perlite which is basically flawless.

I have never used coco. Well like I said last week. My first thought was underwatering. But then you said they bounced back from not watering. So I thought maybe overwatering. But I still think underwatering. It's a weed and you should really not stress it too much or you will kill it by flushing and watering and more flushing. Just water it with pH'd water and low dose of nutes. You want to make them work for the water so they will strive and fight for growth.
You should switch to DWC and give it a shot. I'm doing my first one. It's not that bad and fairly easy to maintain if you set it up correctly.
Fast growth with big buds!!

I did DWC for my first grow, for the first month or so and they were all about 3 inches and tiny...I had no ph pen and high temps and really didn't know what I was doing. I actually think DWC would be easier at this point with what I know, then coco, but I also think that promix and perlite is what I will be doing when I recieve my new seeds as it's pretty foolproof. I wouldn't risk replanting these ones as they've had problems when I originally transplanted them and aer just started to get good growth again...

Day 37 since sprout...I had uploaded pictures last night only to find out that they wouldn't work when I put them in the thread, I'm working on getting that figured out and will take more pictures hopefully tonight. I've given up on two of the plants that are still pushing out there new set of leaves for over two weeks now...I plan on taking them outside and leaving them there for two weeks to see if they recover, if not I'm not too worried.

That leaves me with two plants growing excellent and fast and three that recovered decently and are starting to pick up there growth now. I also have one bagseed from guatamala that just popped above soil and one from mexico as well as another from a random bag of pineapple kush I got recently. Also, I should be receiving my 11 seeds from attitude this week and will start those when they get there as the tent is looking fairly empty.

I have 6 autoflowers and 5 free feminized seeds of different kinds, I will likely germ all the autoflowers and maybe a few of the others and save a non autoflower for my next grow. I'm also, looking for a cheap DIY cloner, I'd like to try taking some clones since I only got 1 seed each of the freebies. I did three plants outdoor and they all dyed due to various reasons so I figure with clones, I could put out about 20 or so and hopefully some survive.

I don't think so , but I have underfed drastically in previous grows....According to the lucas forumula it should be roughly 8 mls micro and 16 mls bloom per gallon full strength...

So I'm less then half strength and they are 5 weeks old so they should be fine. I've fed twice at this strength in the past week and I did notice one of the smaller plants got burned a little bit but the others sucked it up...
