yeah possibly the roots man, any advanced questions im sure whenever del hops on here he will answer with great detail.

well not that the roots are a problem but they could be settling.

They do look a tad small, ph is fine at 5.8
like del I start at about 1/4 strength as soon as I see green
Also I use rhiz at 1/2 to full strength when they are young, it really helps establish the root system
I find sometimes when they are throwing down roots there's not a lot happening up top, then as soon as well rooted it just explodes up top (that's what she said..)

Hello fellow 12ers Im a bit concerned that im having slow growth, im on day 11 since they popped and are on this big on average. Grown in coco and given just water PH'd at 5.8, am i just worrying about nothing or do you think somethings up with what im doing????

haha that last part gave me a nice laugh. yeah when those plants are establishing roots it feels like watching grass....no fun :/.

I'm almost out of rhiz, but I always dose down towards the end.

I am completely out of zym though :/ I been running without it just to see what happens, but I do think it helps, supposedly breaks down old roots, promoting nutrient up take.

Whats your view del? Any magic zym formulas you use? I was using canna but thinking of maybe switching to h&g multi

Also one more thing, I noticed from the pic, I also water small amounts at the start, but to be on the safe side rather water the entire pot with a 10% run off.. May or may not be related But it's not gonna hurt..
