Cheers..I would let them dry out now then give only water til runoff for the next two waterings (full dry back between). Then transplant. Then give grow nutes at 250ppm with tap water. Alternate feed, water, feed, water.
Will do thanks.Do not fix a random watering schedule. You said every 3 days. Let the plants and the medium tell you when to water. Lift the pot and feel if the soil is heavy or light. When the medium is light and almost dry do your watering.
Yeah does look much better all though when I check on them this afternoon 9hrs after those photos were taken they were both drooping again. That's the temp the shed gets down to that the tent is in but the tent gets down to about 15°C that the best I can do.. should I be running the fans and exhaust 24/7 as I'm only running them 22hrs at the moment 2hrs either side of the lights before and after they turn on..?Your new growth looks healthier. Did you say your temp is dropping to 0 degrees? Is that a typo? I find it had to believe they are still alive if the temp is getting to zero. It would freeze the soil and the plant. What is the temp in your tent going down to?
Shoe string budget this grow unfortunately so have to make do. I couldn't do outdoors this time of year been -1°C most mornings this week..15 Celsius is 59 Fahrenheit... not ideal but won't kill them... my girls are outside and it's currently 57 and raining... the more perfect your environment, the more they will thrive obviously.
Cheers man appreciate the advice. Yeah I probably did water too much as I watered until I got 150mls of run off and those pics were taken straight after I poured it out of the trays. Thanks for letting me know about the C02 and I will run the fans and heater 24/7 as without the heater the tent will drop to shed temp over night and will kill them. Do you think I should wait for one more water once the pots are dry and then transplant or are they not healthy enough yet for that.?Your watering still looks a bit heavy. There is a lot of water in your tray. They are struggling to get out of an over wet condition and in soil that is holding too much moisture. There is no need to soak them when you water at this point. When they are dry just give enough water to get the soil nice and damp and maybe a few drips coming out of the bottom of the pot.
You should not need CO2. CO2 is most beneficial when you are getting your light levels over 900 ppfd and can help the plant deal with higher temperatures. I would concentrate on keeping the soil less wet and getting healthy so you can get into a better draining soil.
They are bag seeds so i'm not sure what they are, if they are autos will there be an issue when i switch them to flower.? They definitely looked better this morning when the soil was dry and before I watered. The drooping by this afternoon was obviously from too much water again.. Should I be holding off on any nutrients until she recovers or should I give a light feed when I transplant.? Thanks heaps OsmosisSo here is the dilemma. You want to let the roots dry out a bit and get some air. However you will also need to water when you transplant. Your plants are under a lot of stress from sitting in too moist a soil and from the recent topping. By the way I don't rememner if you said are these autoflowers? Autoflowers are more sensitive to stress. Anyway what you need to try to do is let the soil get dry and see how the plants look. If they are looking stronger then you can try transplanting. For the mix you are transplanting into, you want the soil lightly moist. When you mix it with the perlite I would use a spray bottle and keep misting the soil as you mix it. You want it all sort of damp but not wet. Then transplant and lightly water the plant into the new container. If your new container is bigger remember the soil will hold more moisture so do not soak the new container. Even with the perlite you don't want the plant sitting in super wet soil right now. If you don't think the plant looks strong enough then wait another watering, but water lightly until she recovers.
Thanks again..The new growth is looking better again. Over watering can cause all kinds of odd symptoms in leaves due to excess water and improper nutrient uptake due to the roots being to wet. This is likely what you are seeing in the older leaves As long as the older fan leaves are somewhat healthy they are still gathering light then they are still helping the plant out. Only once a set of leaves is extremely unhealthy like almost entirely yellow, or brown or completely mangled should you remove it.
