my first growop and journal

Smart pot is the brand and they look just like this but nicer. Makes it easy to get the roots to let go and transplant. Just gotta find a smart pot dealer. My local hydrl store sell them

Thanks for the info, will look into it and definitely consider it.

Woke up today with temps reading 72.. I hope they are getting enough light..they are as close as can be

I haven't been over watering..if anything under watering til now.. Its good to have runoff no?
When u say feeding is that nutrients ? Or ? Lol.
I had this 20-20-20 blue crystals.. I used nowhere near what it said to..along with the arogreen.. Next time I water use.straight water ? Hydroponic store said I could use the arogreen the whole cycle..are u familiar with that

i would say you have a lot of help from the people here. they are def trying to help you out. reread what they are saying and understand the valuable info they are lending you. forget the whole feeding schedule and what not know what the reaction of your plants are gonna be before you go throwing to much at them. i say keep reading and informing yourself you will get it.

thanks hiitsbob kinda getting tired of trying to get through to him.

Forget the Hydro store guy, he gets paid to makes SALES, unless he is going to come over and show you how to do it his way, in person and you let him work with your plants. Yes- Feeding is watering with a nutrient solution. Yes, just use water. Glad you only used a little bit, will probably mostly flush out next watering.

Take some pics and lets see where you are at with your plants. Go read some start to finish journals, as well.

Day after transplant..day 18 from seed

Looks good. Man I would put a bigger ocellating fan in there get some air movement. To me that's what it looks like they need. Not enough wind to make them dance crazy but enough to blow a good breeze throughout the room

I Have 12" one on them constant now waiting for 16" wall mount fans to be in stock so I can order

I did a lot of research and came to a happy decent choice with these. Very quiet and strings hang off the bottom you just pull to adjust speed and ocellation.

But be prepared mine showed up in the fan boxes obvious and said hydro farm on it. lol kinda sketchy but I don't care. I'm in pain I need my weeds

They look alright ? Not as sad looking as before I transplanted lol

Looks like their coming back from the teas plant. Weird some still look droopy. They look over watered or hot. Idk tho. Look better anyways. I cut mine down laT night so I only have one no thwr plant to worry about now

Well I drilled lots of holes in bottom..80% of them had runoff not thattt much..but it dissapeared after a while.. Runoff pH was 5 maybe that had something to do with it idk ..can prob go another two days before I need to water well see

I want to see runoff don't I?

I use about 4l per 3gallon pail

Yes, you do want runoff. The question is are you in True 3 gallon pots or what people call 5gal pots that are actually just over 3.7? that would determine how much water. I almost always use more water when transplanting then regular watering.

And the next time you water, if in the next few days- water more along the outside of the pots, more-that doesn't mean not at all in the middle, just less in the middle. you still want runoff, but kind of want to focus saturation more out the outsides of the pots, while having some soak through the center. If you are unsure of what I mean- it comes over time, being able to read your root mass and root spread by looking and feeling the top of the soil. Just make sure it's nice and dry before you water again- 3-5 days I would suspect to be better- but Im not there, just going by what I am seeing there. They will perk up and be happier as their soil dries out, drooping ocassionally while growing roots. the droop is not always a bad thing, i noticed it happens more when plants focus of root development to feed further veg growth.

Yea that last point I also noticed with my couple plants. Once the roots get so big you kinda see the plant just perk up and take off. My roots grow faster in hydro so It went faster

Bought two 16" wall mount fans along with a box fan

Nice! That should help keep air movin!
