Hello folks. New here. Need help

[chad43764]

Little worried. This girl has been leaning lately for a few days. I'm thinking the fan I have is the problem because it's indirectly blowing on that side constantly. But I'm not sure. I also been paying attention to the actual first set of leaves and how they look like they're sorta canoeing but other sets are fine. Any thoughts?
Temp = 75
Humidity= 51-55View attachment 2099549look at the first set leaves. Not present in the second set. Been like that for more than a few da

I'm suspicious of watering in a circle. Letting the soil dry too much could become a problem, I think.

Lol. Thank you brother. Loving u folks help for real. Thank God for u.

Best way to do it in an oversized pot. Keeps the roots searching for water. Spurns growth a bit quicker in m experience…..

 

[chad43764]

For the leaning, I suggest turning the pot a quarter turn every day while the plants are still small enough to do it, or at least till they stop leaning.

I took regular top soil added mycorrhizae granules. Worked it into soil and built up on the stem a little for support. What's ur thoughts? I believe it'd be okay but I'm open for anything. Thank you

I agree. I'd like to note the water works it's way towards the plant from outside in thus skewing. Top gets water before bottom of root system n as water would slowly trickle it'd definitely seem to inspire outward growth. I see the logic. I don't imagine lovegrowingit is completely denying our method. Maybe just don't quite see it, but if what he does work then I'd add that as well to this discussion for different methods of watering.

Love the idea of rotating pot my friend. If I'd got ur message earlier I'd have tried that. Don't want to mess with them now. Thank you

Oh no, I’m not saying homie is wrong, I just know that until that plant catches up to that pot size, water in a ring, but lightly, so all the water/feed doesn’t wash past the root zone and sit at the bottom of the pot. Then when the plant is larger it can’t penetrate the lower portion of the pot due to over saturation. So he is definitely on it here, just different approaches.

Oh yeah, and the lean, @LoveGrowingIt is def right, just rotate the pot!

Ur good bub. It's awesome to get the help. Hopefully I didn't mess anything up. Been a little while since I messed with them n they look ok

Once we get you out of seedling stage, it’ll start popping quick…..

Rotating pots wouldn’t be harmful.
It’s just a different means to the same end results me I would be a lot harsher and bend it myself

I supercrop at the first node

I kid…

I'm feeling the same way. I want to make my own soil tbh. I like organic nutes, but wish I'd have known about mycorizza more because Id have tossed it with my current soil to help break nutes down. There's myco n my soil but just a bit more n granules so as to slowly formulate or colonize n enrich.

I harvest n 3rd week...lol. I've seen people do it. 3rd week of flower. Tiny little nugget got scorched n the oven.

Whoever that was, they were fired before they hit the doorway…..

Yeah. He was young n crazy.

I understand you're referring to the perched water table. It's natural for the bottom to be wetter than the top. My concern is areas of the soil may dry to the point of becoming hydrophobic. That's something to avoid. It's a fabric pot, so the moisture is evaporating from the sides as well as most of the top surface. If it were mine, I'd spray the top and keep it moist to offset evaporation and provide moist soil for the lateral roots to grow in.

Ah. Facts. Spray bottles are definitely best in this regard.

I'm basically recommending not letting the soil become too dry to absorb water. In the pics, I don't see enough water to offset evaporation and transpiration. Roots avoid dry spots in the soil. So, I'm recommending keeping all the soil moist. You're right though, there are different methods of watering. I think an important thing to keep in mind when planting a seedling in a large pot is that rooting is the seedling's top priority. My guess is they seem to grow slowly because most of the growth is in the soil. Watering a small plant in a big pot can be a problem and probably a reason why many growers first transplant to an intermediate size pot before planting in the final, large pot.

I salute you, dear captain. Yes, indeed. Some of the best advice I received early on in my growing was to get some good spray bottles. The pump type is best.

No doubt good sir. They are indeed clutch!
