Clawing...can she be saved?

- Start date
Is it from garden of green, if you know the breeder.

Nothing. Transplanted from seedling into FF Happy Frog just over 3 weeks ago and she started clawing.

I bought the seeds from ILGM.

Even three of the same will exhibit different characteristics...some are heavy drinkers, others heavy eaters, some grow super fast, some are late bloomers.
That one looks like it needs food. What are you feeding (or planning on feeding?) and it needs to dry out. Pick it up, see how it feels..water it when it feels very light...after you water it, pick it up again...take note of how heavy it feels now. Someone suggested, was it @xtsho ?, Take an equal sized pot, fill it with soil and note how that feels...water when it is that light

Watering every two days is a habit I would break
As the plant progresses it's water and feed needs change
And next time I would avoid a precharged medium

Also drench the soil when you water. You're caging the roots to the wet area.
Thank you. Just looking for a nice skunk. If you make a journal I am gonna follow

Thank you. For fear of over watering, I'd only been watering around the root area.
Avoid all together or just in the early stages? What would you recommend? I switched from Ocean Forest thinking Happy Frog would be a little milder.

Water more evenly less frequently, is what I always say,

I haven't fed yet. I have the FF trio but tbh I'm struggling with getting the two most important things right... Watering and feeding

Water used … ( ph )
Your watering “around roots “ isn’t necessary, you should water more evenly and thoroughly thruout that container- not completely dripping with excess but more thoroughly so plant can access the nutes within medium.
FFOF will carry that plant for weeks all on its own.
Give it water ph matched to medium and let her do her thing. Then you can monitor how long it will take to water again … let plant show you not do it on your water schedule

Learning and having complete control of your nutrients is the only way to grow multiple strains/phenos
So having a set amount of slow release nutrients is great if you have a proven cutting you intend to run exclusively

Overwatering is giving it water too often. It needs to dry after the watering. It's not about how much you give it.
Edit: Seedlings are a different story.

I gotcha. I watered around the roots as seedlings and wasn't sure when to transition to the whole pot.

You're better off watering a couple of days earlier and allowing the soil to dry a bit before the transplant. It doesn't take long for the roots to spread out. Once they do it becomes harder to overwater.
