I wouldn’t because it can cause uneven soil moisture. Personally i wait until next grow to change mediaHey guys was just wondering if changing my soil to something else once I transplant is okay to do. Also even though this is an organic grow, will I need some type of nutrients or add anything to soil or is just water and light fine?
Id give another week depending on growth. In soil id shoot to up pot once you need to water daily.Hello everyone!
I was curious on when a good time to transplant would be?
Also curious about the power of my light and if there is a time when I should raise the brightness? (I have it ~24 inches above the tops of the plants and at 40% brightness, haven't changed)
I've heard of waiting till the first set of leaves hit or pass the sides of the cups but I wanted to ask on here.
I'm on day 16 after planting within soil. I've been keeping them with the 18/6 light cycle. I'm going to be moving 2/4 of them into 3 gallon fabric containers and then the other 2 I may try to just start putting outside due to lack of space. The outside ones will be put into 5 gallon containers that I have.

Thank you all in advance!
| Growth Phase | PAR Level (PPFD) |
|---|---|
| Seedling / Clone | 100 – 300 |
| Vegetative | 250 – 600 |
| Bloom / Flowering | 500 – 1050 |
Ahhh I can see I will need a better light once they are older. It seems to be alright for this stage (Right around 140-160) at 60% power but will definitely need a more powerful light.As for the light levels, I downloaded an app on my phone (Photone) that appears to do an adequate job of measuring the light intensity if I follow the directions and wrap a 1 " strip around the phone light sensor. Below are some general recommendations I found on the web.
Mind that PAR levels are measured as photosynthetic photon flux density (PPFD) generally in the unit of µmol/m²/s.

Using more blue or metal halide will give you more of a bush and tighter internodesYou should also consider turning the light up or getting it closer to the plants. Seedlings stretch like that because they aren't getting enough light.
Yess & introduce some food at 1/4 strength to start.Water to saturate the pots
I purchased the Fox Farm 3 pack.Did you get fox farm 3pack or individual bottles?
If you have city water you shouldn't need the pH up.
Let your water sit out for 24 hours so chlorine evaporates.
You should start to feed they lookin a lil yellow. Return the pH up & get some Superthrive. Also are u gonna let em stay in the 3 gallon pots? During up pot process you want to stay in plastic until you reach the desired root ball you want & stable plant.
However you can put that cloth pot right into a bigger pot and it will grow roots rite thru the bag. My concern is the tap root being restricted to grow through the bag.
If you are using catch trays 4 the water the plant will suck up all the water it needs.I purchased the Fox Farm 3 pack.
No city water here. I pH regular tap water at 7.22 and used some pH down.
I started my first feeding yesterday. I started with 1/2 the recommended for general feeding but I'll lower to 1/4.
That's pretty cool that the roots would grow right through the bag. I believe these will be there final containers at least for the ones that I'm keeping inside. I decided to transplant because they were very stunted and showing signs of stress as well as a few buddies of mine recommended I do so. The roots weren't as developed as I would of hoped but alas I'm learning as I go.
I've been trying to keep a consistent 4-5 days between watering's as that's when the small cups were drying out in the beginning and then it started to be every day or so they needed water. With these bigger pots I'm going to need to adjust my watering times because of the size change... still trying to dial that in.
I was also wondering, If I'm watering to saturate the entire pot should I try to measure out the amount of water it takes to saturate all 4 pots?
Then after my next watering once I feed again I can add the proportional amount of nutrients to that water?
