Moved the girls to my ACI Tent yesterday, the germination station was getting two warm. Tried to cool it off by directing a USB fan to the ports and it cooled too much.

Setup the Tent as follows:
Intake+Exhaust Fans: High: 78f High: 70% Max: 6
Light: On Level: 3 Max: 3
Heat: Low: 75f Max: 6
Humidifier: Low: 68% Max: 6
Wind: On: 15 mins Off: 15 mins Min: 1 Max: 6

Start of Week 3
------------------
Not looking ready for transplanting just yet, haven't started newts as girls are in Fox Farms Ocean Forest, will wait till a month old. Look healthy to me but I'm a novice. The ACI 240W light has been turned up to Lvl 7

Was noticing leaf curl, determined it wasn't water or light so I pulled cell tray up and noticed roots underneath, possibly root bound according to information found on this site.

Transplanted to 3gal fabric pots filled with Fox Farms Ocean Forest today and did about 1/2 gal of water per pot

you should have transplanted them to bigger container a while back, roots can't devellop in such a small amount of soil resulting in plant being stunt ....

Crap, I asked a neighbor , who has been growing longer and he said wait a week, 2 days ago lol. Thanks for the info!!

Still showing some signs of transplant shock 24 hours later, pretty normal in my garden so not worried right yet. Showing some pretty quick new growth and the new growth looks good. Not feeding newts yet as I've been told FF Ocean Forest is pretty nutrient rich for about 3-4wks, plan is to wait to add newts after that.

Moved lights up to 80% for 18/6 today. Still showing some signs of transplant shock I think? Large scale watering has begun, watered about 3/4 of a gallon before I saw runoff in bottom of pot, still no newts. The one on the right appears to be recovering now, the left one is still a bit droopy on the older leaves but new leaves are nice.

You should have planted into a smaller pot like a half gallon / gallon instead of the big pots. You’re going to be looking at root rot because the little plant won’t ever dry the big pot of soil out before root problems. The soil should dry out before you water again, your drowning the roots in other words.
I start in little pot like you did, then to 1 gallons, then to 7 gallon pots flower in. I would recommend little pot, to 1/2 gallon, to 3 gallons to flower for next time.

Thanks for the information! Luckily, I've only watered once on the large scale, I watered at transplant just enough to get it worked in, maybe a 1/4 gal, so fingers crossed!

Interesting, so cannabis doesn't mind transplanting often?

You want the roots to just fill the pot (nice rootball) then transplant. You can plant into big pots like you did, but takes precise watering skills to not drown them. Not recommended for new growers. Drowning them makes the difference between a stunted plant and a thriving plant. Just trying to help u out.

I see, alright, greatly appreciate the info !!!! These seeds were my 'free' seeds, so if I kill them I'm just out time but I've gained experience so still win win!

 

[bobthethcguy]

Probably going to loose the plant on the left, not sure if I damaged tap root during transplant or not but both plants got same amount of water, time, etc, same seed, germ date all of it

You dont pay electricity? At some point home grown becomes more expensive than stpre bought

Kinda.....I just decommissioned two 24 core dual xeon servers with 2kw PSUs each....still saving money lol. Those suckers ate the juice! So the tent is chump change lol.

But yes, time is money, time is also knowledge. The point being if I lost lefty I still gained knowledge, and it's WAAAAAY cheaper to grow in Ohio currently.

The start of root rot

Weird, that pot is the driest of both of them, anything to do to save it? I did a quick search and most say in soil most likely not, but some mentioned hydrogen peroxide soak
