Looking good. i would transplant into her final pot now or within a week, you might stress root growth and stunt her if waiting longer.

Hello and welcome to the farm.

What do you have for a light? She looks a little washed out. To much light.
How far above the top of the plant is the light hanging?

Light - 18 hours on 6 off. What medium did you start her in?
Are you transplanting into the same medium?
It's time to transplant. Be very gentle and water her in with P.H ed feeding solution.

Do you have equipment ready to P.H feeding solution and or plane water?

If you are using a pre amended soil, fallow the directions

What about fertilizer, What are you going to feed her?
Do you have it on hand, ready to use?

Light is 18 on 6 off. I have been using distilled water not sure on the ph. I do have Amazon prime so any fertilizers or nutrients you believe I should get let me know and it will be here the next day.

I will say I did overwater it like a lot just about 4 days ago and haven't watered it since but the soil is still moist/damp on the top.

Looks good. If your tap water is drinkable I recommend using that instead of distilled water, now that you've got pH and PPM meters coming you can check out your tap water and adjust your pH to 6.8 in ffof soil

As far as nutrients General Hydroponic makes a trio that's easy for new growers, also if you're open to dry nutes I recommend Master Blend. Good luck!

What equipment would you recommend for ph feeding solution? What feeding do I use to to control that.

The easiest way to adjust pH might be using a product like this

I grow in 3 or 5 gal bags with FFOF after starting germinated seeds in Happy Frog. I also use the 3-part nutes you’re ordering. I recommend that you get a bottle of cal-mag. Mine is from General Hydroponics. Cannabis is calcium and magnesium hungry. Just use it per bottle instructions.

No rush on the nutrients. The FFOF should carry you for a couple more weeks, it’s pre-amended a little. Water-only for another week or two, then start the Grow Big (which is nitrogen heavy).

Since it’s a 1st grow, I suggest you stick with the “soil” feed chart from FF. Start grow big at about 2/3 strength and adjust from there.

If you can find a small amt of perlite to mix into your 3-gal pot it’ll help improve your soil drainage and post-fluids dryback. But watch for the level of coarseness. You want it smallish like this, but not fine. I add about 5-10% but others here say they go heavier. I bought a lifetime supply on Amazon (4 cubic feet). Way too much, but it was a great price and just the right coarseness.

Do you have a drip tray and pot elevator (a riser) to let the pot drain? You’ll also want a set of measuring spoons for your nutrients—my wife prefers I use my own set for measuring out guano and worm dookie nutes.

EDIT: I prefer to measure my pH liquids and cal-mag using a 5 ML dropper, rather than measuring spoons.

Good luck friend!

Hello again. I'm sorry I had surgery the other day and had some complications.
So how is your plant doing?
As you are planning on planting in Fox Farm Ocean Forest. Fertilizer will be taken care of for a couple of weeks.
Most folks find ocean Forest to be a little hot at first. So I suggest you fill your pot 3\4 with Ocean Forest. Then top the pot off with the seedling starter mix so the young plant is not sitting directly in the Ocean Forest.

You asked about Fertilizer.
Please consider this. Gaia Green. It's great stuff and super easy to use.
You can order it on Amazon and have it in a day or so.

I'd suggest that you top dress the first time 3 weeks after transplanting into the Ocean Forest.
All you need is the 4-4-4 All purpose and the Bloom 2- 4 - 8

Looks like spider mite. You will be ok.
Look up Spider mite on cannabis and decide how you want to deal with them.

There's likely no need to adjust tap water pH for Fox Farm soil if the water is drinkable.
