I raised the lights to 6" for 2 days to see if that would help, it didn't. The temps have never been above 88F and usually stay between 70-80F averaging about 75F. So it's not the temps.

Should I raise the lights to 6" for longer than 2 days? They are currently at 3".

Well....Looks like you've had a bit of progress. Whats gonna happen when you transplant into bigger containers....are you going to have to wait for the root to reach the new res once again?

Here's my last grow AK47 and PPP in hempy journal

I actually did use a sterilized fork to scoop a bit of the perlite away from the root, and they are healthy and white for at least the 3 inches I was brave enough to go down.

I've always heard that you add nutes once the seedling has its second set of real leaves. I noticed a lot of ppl on this board are super conservative with their nutes. I mean, I can't imagine a plant being happy in lifeless perlite. It has to have fertilizer, right?

But I know it's not the nutes doing this cuz it was happening a week b4 I started nutes.


So, I just ordered some organic tonic from blue mountain organics, we'll see if that helps. I'm also going to try watering less. If that doesn't work I will raise the lights to 6" for a longer period of time. I have to do one thing at a time though to be scientific, lol.

Yeah a bit of progress. I wouldn't say growth has "taken off" though, like it usually does when the roots hit the rez. So I don't know if they are there yet!?!

Do you have an opinion on the droopy leaves boneman? Can watering every 3 days be too much? I finger test to about 2 inches and feel a slight bit of moisture, but not a lot. Should I not worry about it or what?

When I bog to 2g buckets I will cut the foam cup just above the hole and then plant deep so that only the top inch of the cup is above the surface. So the roots will be at or near the rez of the larger bucket already when i transplant.

First off, your setup is nice and clean, looks very good, not ghetto at all. The plants with the curled leaves looks like they have been over watered a bit. Are you giving fertilizer yet?

Getting seedlings started IS easier with 1" rockwool cubes, but you don't have much choice about that now. I have seen many plants in the same condition as your worst ones pull through and be good producers.

I suggest less watering on those first 2, but probably more than anything they just need some time to get bigger.

Cool, thanks for stopping by. Check back in the future to see them grow. Comment if you see me doing something good or bad, cheers!
