oh man is what can i do? can i transplant yet?I know it was already said but MG really just sucks for cannabis. Regardless of what you do to it to "make it better"
It looks like your soil is compacted which is causing slow growth. Those should be much bigger for 28 days old
man you answered my prayers because i dont know enough. im just reading and contemplating my next sabotage. I chose fox farms cuz i read alot of good stuff. i didnt have the money for the gaia green. ive only watered them 3 times in their whole life. im waiting for the dry soil then i water em. im only doing a few ounces like two chugs an adult would take of a beer or maybe one… ( i know some chuggers out thereDo absolutely nothing. Do not repot, do not feed, no training, and stop watering so much.
Your plants look over watered. This means they’re suffocating. They need dry back periods to allow the roots to get air and breath.
Pick up a similar sized pot with Dry soil. Next time your plants are of similar weight you can water them. Do not fully saturate all of the medium. The plants are too small and their roots have not filled out those pots. I would water them like a few ounces. Water slowly so it doesn’t run straight through to the bottom. Your plant should dry out within a few days. If not you probably are watering too much.
Your seedlings are “leggy” because they were stretching for light before you got your LED. Once they’re large enough to repot them you can bury a lot of the stem to keep them short and stout. Allow the seedlings to grow large enough that the tips of the leaves reach the edge of the pot.
Use tap water. If you can’t help yourself you can water in some kelp and fulvic acids but that is more than enough. With soil we don’t need to waste money on distilled or RO water.
You started this thread mentioning organic. Do you want to go organic? There is a lot of ways to skin the cat. Those Fox farm bottle will get you great results but it isn’t really organic. There is cheaper synthetic options out there if you want to save money. We can also help you do organic cheaply as well.
Word I feel you. It’s overwhelming when you first start out. Do yourself a favor and stay out of hydro stores because they make their money convincing you to buy a 45 dollar 16oz bottle of water.man you answered my prayers because i dont know enough. im just reading and contemplating my next sabotage.

This diairy is gona be a success cuz of the lights… just watch.

LOL! His fate was already sealed when he decided to grow!!!Word.
Perfect @RootsRuler explanation of the benefits of synthetics. Easier to fix problems as they come up.
Now it’s up to OP to decide his fate!
The swamp water is from a youtuber old man that says just to put a 55 gal outside and throw everything in it and let it rot and strain the water and use it as your watering water. something like that. as far as worm bins i was looking into it and i think its doable. im slowly getting this show on the road. If i find a Pheno i wana keep i wana do a perpetual grow. but first im still learning EC RO Plant food etc. Never knew gardening could be this funsome fox farm bottles are and some aren’t. It’s hard to do bottled organics and a lot of companies won’t spend the money to get certified.
I would suggest starting worm bins with the kitchen waste. Meats/oil/citrus aren’t going to work on in worm bins. I’d just bring a 5 gal bucket to work.
The animal waste composting is out of my wheel house. It’s totally doable and I know poor farmers in other countries have been using human waste for centuries with no issue. I’d just be extra careful so you don’t accidentally spread an illness.
As far as building my soils go I have had great success following “coots mix.” It’s fairly simple to build.
what’s the purpose of the swamp? Does it have fish living in it? Aquaponics is super cool but requires a lot of prep work before it’s up and running.

Gr8 advice here...Word I feel you. It’s overwhelming when you first start out. Do yourself a favor and stay out of hydro stores because they make their money convincing you to buy a 45 dollar 16oz bottle of water.
Gaia green got popular in cannabis from a YouTuber. It’s nothing more than a good quality dry amendment. Unfortunately Gaia doesn’t really have a foothold in the American market. We do however have a bunch of alternatives that are just as good. If you bought the fox farm off Amazon I would just request to return it saying you’re not satisfied. If you have a decent account standing they might just let you keep it.
Home Depot/ Lowe’s/ armstrong/ nurseries/ Amazon/ Walmart will carry nearly all you need. Dr. Earth and/or down to earth is a great starting place.
I would recommended Dr. Earth for now.

(Killer price by the way)
Only other thing you need is soil. You may need to hunt a little bit. Fox farm ocean forest is what 95% of every cannabis grower starts with. It’s very easy to find and every hydro store will sell it. If they try to charge you more than $16 a bag they are ripping you off. My local store will sell it for $12 - I however mix/build my own soil but that is a labor of love that you don’t need to get involved with yet.
Your final pot size should be 5 gallons or larger when growing in soil. The larger the better.
You really don’t need anything else besides this. Sure you can grab some pricey myco’s that help. Those dry ferts actually come with some beneficials added in. I would rather spend my money on worm castings. Worm castings are amazing and do so much good.
I’m all about doing this as cheap as possible without dropping quality.
You’re a new grower so you’ll be bored with this style. Use that energy by creating compost piles and worm bins. A lot of organic farming is about prep work. Once the prep is done you get to sit back and literally watch the fruits of your labor.
definitely arrived alive. Some TLC and we should be good. i just couldnt get the clonex on time and i got some fans and a tent in the worx for next pay day. right now i just want them rooted nicely so i can scrog em in my back yard shed. Thx for the BomB genetics. Im a happy customer, no regrets.Looking a bit rough make sure to give them slot of humidity as they weren’t completely hardened off. I’ve been giving them too much love with the mister bottle when before they weren’t getting as much attention at the old spot. I’m gonna hold back from misting the domes as much. I’ve had to resend some clones due to them basically going into shock from the dry air. If you need anything resent I got you. This is how they looked before being sent. Glad they are alive but this isn’t up to my standards. Keep the line of communication open fam and thanx for the support View attachment 1340244
