Growing outdoors from seed in high desert Southern New Mexico

[poozgrowz]

It looks hungry too me.

Or thrips! Sometimes those little black dots are thrip poop! And thrips give the leaves a silvery color!

Oh dang. It's been inside it's whole little life.

Could be! Looks like it is close to outgrowing that solo anyway!

Mature, thrips have wings! They can fly in at any time anywhere! But they’re pretty easy to see in the larva stage on the bottom of the leaves! The poop usually gives them away! And get a loupe if you don’t have one already! One with the lights on it! They’re cheap!

Okay. Should I up pot.. To a 1 gal... And wait till the 20th to put it into a 10 gal ??
It get her into the big bag asap?

Ok, I'll go get mine. I'm in the house being entertained by hubby's stories from his day

That’s up to you! If you’re talking May 20, I would just go into the 10 gallon! But if you’re talking June 20, I would go with the 1 gallon!

Okay! TY! Yes may 20. Goodie!! I'm ready to do this one right, timing & all :-)
I didn't see anything moving under side, so hoping she's just hungry!
So should I give her a spray of diluted compost/worm tea? She needs a drink before bed. (I did too, at one time) ;)

I don’t know! Probably wouldn’t hurt! I don’t feed my plants during the grow! Might have to wait for someone else to chime in on that!

Okay, well I gave her some verrrry week tea... I haven't had to feed in solo cups... But it's been a month since planted in that fox farm cultivation nation soil. Coco & perlite mix. 1st x to use it, this year.
Thanks man!

Going from the solo to 10 gallon your going to want to wet your 10 gallon pot asap if your going in you want to establish a good root system first by making sure you make roots reach outwards good roots healthy plants then I start the feeding once they are ready lots of leaves and keep them green n happy till flower then hope weather cooperates your trying to make them feel at home and happy
What kinda of dirt you going in ?

Question (s): this is my #2 Purple Haze
It's a month old.
I started it cos I didn't think the 1st one was gonna make it... okay sooo

It's leaves are getting pale. Should I give it some very diluted compost tea?
1/20 dilution would be ok to spray it with?
Or stronger?

I'm also thinking of putting it into a 1 gal container today, until it's ready to go into it's 10 gal final home. Do I even need to up-pot or just get the 10 gal bag's soil ready to plant in a day or 2?
Thankful for All you knowledgeable, experienced farmers

I know you asked some other questions there too…and since none of those knowledgeable people you referenced answered, you get mine .

I personally would go straight to final home from there because I don’t like to transplant twice!

Some people are scared to give seedlings nutes, but if they’re yellow from lack of nutes, depleted used soil perhaps, I’d give it to them.

Edit: I missed the other posts…sorry guys! lol.

TY Big Al!! Yes, I've heard you guys talk about wetting those big bags before planting.
I'll mix it up tomorrow & wet it. Then sit for a day, in the bag..(cos that's all the time I feel I have at this moment).
Will put Purple Haze into the bag Friday.

I'm using the ocean forest/frog farm mix, Peat, Perlite/Vermiculite, & some worm casting.
Using KiS dry nutes in the soil this year. And some micorrhizal fungi at the roots.
I'm also top dressing.
I'm trying organic this year but IF I have to use synthetics later on...I will...If forced by fate lol
I'm definitely hoping the weather isn't going to be crazy all year! But.... From the way it's been going.....idk. Definitely gonna be a ride

Ahhh thanks not defective at all!
I'm always glad to hear from you!

Anyway, thanks cos I hate up-potting! LoL well more than once, that is.

I have read that some say don't give seedlings nutes... But my gosh if they need it...whatta ya do. She was thirsty.
I have made worm casting tea before but this is my 1st x to make the oxygenated tea.
Also I got seed starter soil & didn't realize it was coir/perlite.. But the nursery sold me on it. That's what they use. We lost our grow store in town this new year & had to go an hour out of town to get my soil. I'll be re-using & amending it from now on. LoL
Thanks so much! Again, Always good to hear from you, defective

TY but... you got Any tips on how to move these 10 gal bags w/o ending up in the chiropractor's office? Lmao!

Heck i drag my pots or i use a hand truck. I have 15gal plastic nursery pots and i don't "lift" i drag. If you let them dry out prior to moving them when needed it's of course much lighter. I did get a 10gal fabric pot last year but i'm just stubborn and still use these pots.
