Bahaha I'm a dummy

they are over watered you can tell man it's really easy, if you look at the tips of the leaves they are curling in towards the stem

Can you post some pics of your plants at 1, 2, and 3 weeks old so I can compare your growth to mine?
Thanks.

Far too lazy to go and try and find pics of my weeks of growth. But here’s some pics of 7 weeks of veg from sprout. Letting the pots dry in between feeds for the first couple weeks.

They will be transplanted tomorrow so I will try not feeding this evening. There were only a couple drops of water in the bottom of the cup when I took the pic

Interesting and new to me.
I must confess, I've never seen plants being grown with so much pure perlite at the bottom.
Is that the hempy method?

I just put a hole at the first line of the cup and filled perlite even with it. Probably could have used more coco on top, but I didn't so it now looks like I went half and half. I'm a noob

Hopefully some hempy guru's can help.

I find it helpful to treat one or more different than the others. (eg: repot one into just coco/perlite - no giant layer of perlite at the bottom) Being OCD, my natural tendency is to keep my chit equal - synchronized and consistent. lol I haved to force myself to change it and and test...

Ugh, I still make plenty of mistakes. It can be frustrating, and a source of anxiety.

I have picked up some larger cups. Might try to get them swapped over tonight. Does anybody think my large perlite zone will cause me trouble when putting up? Also my canna bricks say not to wash, but I've read to always wash any coco. Any expert coco prep methods are welcome. Thinking about it now, the ones that are doing badly are in washed coco, but the I didn't have time to do a real good job on the coco that the smalls are in. Just a couple passes in a colander with tap water to get the dusty peat out. Could that be my issue? Sorry for all the spoon feeding requests, but I've done weeks of research and from what I see if 5 people have great results doing things a certain way, 5 more have poor results. I'm in the latter camp I suppose

Rehydrate and Rinse
When starting with a dehydrated brick of coco, it should first be rehydrated in tap water.....



You are starting with good coco!
Filter out the fines.
I learned it needs to be fully hydrated during buffering.....actually soaked thru and thru. Soaked 12+ hours. Stirring occasionally.

This is what I went by for my coco prep. Only did a 2 hour soak in calmag and not 8 hours like the video says. Guess it will be tomorrow before I can transplant. Hydrating a new batch now
