Nope, tray is dry as a fartAre your plants in pots sitting in pots with run off in them ?
Im using store bought distilled water mixed with a trace of molasses. Trim off the ones that look like they are burnt, or the lower droopy ones on the plant on the left?I would trim off those damaged lower leaves. What is your water like? Do you have really high hardness?
just leave the leafs there for now.Im using store bought distilled water mixed with a trace of molasses. Trim off the ones that look like they are burnt, or the lower droopy ones on the plant on the left?
Ahhh. Distilled water lacks everything. If you have tap water without lead issues use it. The molasses can be high in iron and Sulphur. So maybe slip it. I would get a bucket if tap water. An pop an aquarium pump in there for a day. Ph to 6.4 and water with nothing. Then later on when the plants are a bit bigger give them a one part feed. Distilled water is good for some things. But it may be hindering you. You might find the chemical analysis of your local water supply on line.Im using store bought distilled water mixed with a trace of molasses.

It was easy when they were in the solo cups...I waited till they felt light, then added about 2 ounces of water. When transferring to 1 gal pots, I watered solo cups with 2 ounces the transferred to 1 gal pots with out adding anymore water. That was May 23rd, I have only watered once since then...about 2 days ago, and added 4 oz/pot.just leave the leafs there for now.
what/how do you do your watering?
I was able to setup a rain barrel yesterday, and now have a decent supply of rainwater since it rained all day here. Not sure when to water again??? The whole plant is getting droopy as in the last photo I posted.Ahhh. Distilled water lacks everything. If you have tap water without lead issues use it. The molasses can be high in iron and Sulphur.

Now if you have to use RO or Distilled water I would use a 3 part. With Silica and cal mag. And whatever other supplements you might need.
One of those cheap meters that you stick in the soil will help you water.I was able to setup a rain barrel yesterday, and now have a decent supply of rainwater since it rained all day here. Not sure when to water again??? The whole plant is getting droopy as in the last photo I posted.
Thanks! How high above the top of the plant would you have the light?Look at the taco's of your top leaves on your plants, which is usually caused by only a few reasons. Your lights look a little close for those young plants in 1 gallon pots in veg. I would raise your lights to reduce light stress on your your plants and find a watering/ feeding method that reduces how often you may be watering/ feeding them...they do look a little overwatered. If you do this I think it will help you.
…and, from what I remember about growing in this live soil medium, it suggests feeding from the bottom of the bucket with water and use occasional top dressings, especially later in flower, and teas to help it finish...ambitious of you on your first grow. Good luck.
Ok, thanks!Soil is a bit high in nutes but plant will grow into it.
Over watered. Let it dry well between watering. This will explain how and why.
RO is ok as the soil contains nutrients although you should probably add 1/4-1/2 dose of cal mag to it.
Missed the link I meant to post that explains watering practices and why.Ok, thanks!
Damn, I suck at this. I read dont overwater at transplant. So much info and its confusing. I just want to save my plants. I figured that since I just watered them, and the root ball I pulled out was moist (prior to transplant), that I didnt need to water again.They got 2 oz of water when in solo cups and only 4 oz of water after you transplanted into 1 gallon containers? They are severely under watered. The media should be saturated after transplant.
