ill do that on the next 4 seeds.. but i sorta want to keep them all the same weight

but yeah if they need more dirt so be it..

ill just have to mark the weight on the cup so i remember the difference.

thanks for the advice.

I know you have a system but weighing isn't the most accurate. How do you account for new weight of plant material? Do yourself a favor and learn to feel the difference between a plant that needs water and one that doesn't. It will pay off in the long run.

i was not worried about the plant material at this point. i was just using this for baby's. and when they get older, it would not be hard to average in plant matter id think ( or the one knuckle deep on larger pots ). but yeah i dunno dude just tri9ng to working something out that works for me.

i guess the LED really do put the heat on the plants.. zoomed in i was surprised to see all them tric popping up.. trip.

i dunno man, so what you say.. just go for the goal, and see what happens doing it all like the plant whisper and shit. hah

You gotta learn how to tell by lifting the pot. You going to lug big buckets of soil onto a scale in flower. :-)

I do have a cheap 3 way probe with a moisture meter. It was a good tool to learn on. But you need at least a 1 gallon pot to use it.

I don't think the plant needs transplanted yet,sometimes when the soil is damp i turn it over with my hand under it and slide it out to check roots. some people feel a slightly root bound plant in a 1 gallon pot gives you the fastest opportunity to sex the plant. I use this method and up pot to a 3 or 5 gallon pot depending on how many females I'M placing under the light. fewer plants bigger pots a slightly longer veg to fill the tent space.

that a good meter mine lasted 4 years before the probe broke off,It's a growers best friend to keep from over watering.

From one noob to another, you're kicking butt. My first grow was last summer, and I struggled. I found this place, and was blown away by all the growers willing to share their knowledge.
This year's seeds are up, but are stretched out. I went cheaper than you. My plants are under 2 Walmart 13watt fluorescent grow lights from 5am until sun up. I move them to a south window, until late afternoon, then back under the lights until 10pm. My plants will go outdoors around may 1st. I'm not saying this is the way to do it, just how I'm getting by with no budget. I've spent $45 on lights,and I make my own soil. But last year, 12 plants gave me almost 24 pounds. You have already put more effort into your grow, and have found this place. You will do fine. Happy growing.

thank you for the positive vibes. i found this forum by accident. good accident indeed.

i read your thread about getting a horse. i grew up riding horse in the mountains of Oregon.. my first horse was 4 year old appy green broke.. but with in 2 years i had her as a good mountain hunting horse. :) we use to go for 8-10 hour horse back rides up into the deep mountains to go to fishing holes no one else could get too. heh

You're really gonna like the critical kush, by the way. A buddy grew it two years ago. Holy Grail kush and the critical kush are my favorites for the end of the day.

that's what im hoping for. i need strongest i can get.. tolerance is off the chart cause of years of opiate use? or maybe iv always had a high tolerance for shit. the pain im in every day would probably bring a tear to some.. and i would not blame them. it can be a bitch. so im hopeful for the fire.

but what iv learn from being on this forum.. its up to the grower.. be it brick weed, you either bring out the best brick weed, or just go home. heh.

i just glad im having a good day.. i hated the last two days so damn depressed. laughs.

have a great day sir.
chris.

I can see growth! And nice and green. Green is happy brother. Now you are not in their way. Just water gently and evenly around the seedling when time. You are on your way!

Hell yea! DJ Jipp said everybody put you hands up!!! They're reaching up. Think of it this way, you over watered for a few days and they're alive, under watering for a day isn't going to make them wither up and die immediately. They will start to droop just like when they are over watered. I feel like that desert rose (critical kush) is going to be some flame!!! You're going through it right now and taking it all in stride. Time for universe to drop a dog a bone lol. I'm glad your mood is up bro, can't wait til you're blazing a spliff if some critical kush on those walks.
