As far as my medium, I’ve been using an organic soil called kryponite, which was coco coir, peat, perlite, worm castings, alfalfa meal, kelp meal, Irish most dust, Langbeinite, soft rock phrosphate, crab meal, hen manure , bone meal, basalt rock dust and feather meal, as far as PH goes, not totally sure? Lol don’t have a ph pen. But I do have a 3 way meter that supposedly tests for it but not totally sure if it’s accurate, only paid ten bucks for it and it tests light ph and soil wetness. I’ll be sure to put them under the 1000 now, I don’t feel like dealing with bugs. Thanks for the feedback, should I raise my lights a little goin to a 1000?
Oh and i just picked up some liquid seaweed so I’ve been watering with the kelp and water
Regarding the light, I'd set it at 28" above the canopy, and put it at 500W for two days. If the results are good, up to 750. Couple days later, 1000W. A couple more days, you can begin to lower the lamp (or raise the plants) if you so choose.
Awesome thanks for the quick reply, I’ll deffently be looking into picking one up next time I’m at my local grow shop. And I’ll be trying to up it to a 1000watts tonite and try rasing my lights to around 28 inches above the canopy. Thanks again for the help bud
Deff not suppose to look that like. It was due to some overwatering issues. This was a day after transplant as well and gave them a 1000watts for the first time ever so I thought the light was a little too aggressiveThe last pic it looks sad?
why is it droopy like that? Are they suppose to do that? Idk ima newbie so dont listen to me.
When you give them a lot of water they become stupid and sad. Roots get bored and doesn't grow. Let the medium to dry and after the watering the leaves will pointing up.The last pic it looks sad?

What? Lol I'm still new...hehe
Just give them water when they need it especially in plastic pots. If you used fabric pots the medium would breath from the rear and dry faster. Plastic is bad.
Why do you insist on repeating this nonsense?
Yes. It's asinine to say something is bad or awful because that person couldn't grow properly with it, or they simply 'heard it from someone'.
I see you like plastic pots. I prefere fabrics since I overwatered my plants and killed them in plastic, yes. But speaking for my failure in plastic means they are superior to fabrics, no. Fabrics are better in many ways and especially for new growers that tend to overwatering. My advice to people making the same mistakes comes from my experience. You can advice them from your experience too
I'm all for sharing one's experience, but you said "Plastic is bad.". That's a blanket statement unrelated to your experience.
Yeah if it was in plants choice it would change the grower to avoid overwatering. Anyways plastics is an option that is cheap and works too. Anyways fabrics win FATALITY. Make a thread plastics Vs fabrics and let's reach 1000 comments but not here. It will be interestingI'm all for sharing one's experience, but you said "Plastic is bad.". That's a blanket statement unrelated to your experience.
Besides, it's not the pot that causes over watering situations, it's the grower
Ya they bounced back pretty fast lemon, they are pretty resilient plants, again thanks for the good vibes my friend! They are looking much better by the way. They came around pretty much instantly after their 6 hours of dark time
PS I do have ten gallon fabric pots ready to go, i figured when I origanlly transplanted a ten gallon pot would of been to hard to water with a tiny plant in it, so I just found something Around the house for my first transplant. Thanks again
