My first grow! questions for you within

don't care for that soil; no sir. not enough perlite. pop a couple of extra drainage holes in cup, imo, and use more perlite upon transplant.

transplanted to a 1.5liter or so pot with alot better drain holes but didnt add any extra perlite other than what was in the black gold potting soil. sorry D: more pics tomorrow

cool.......things looked a little damp
i go 33% perlite

Day 18/ Day 6 of 12-12. Transplanted yesterday and its looking nice with the space to grow. gave a light Lst with tape. keeps coming undone lol but the plant is less straight up every time. sprout is looking good too at day 6.

Today I bought myself some Mushroom compost & Nulife mixed compost. Would the tea made from that be good for my cannabis?

and Yesterday I doubled my lighting. So I should be getting better growth!

Will take pics tonight.

Each time you transplant you stunt the growth a little bit. Roots don't like being moved and exposed. I would just go ahead and buy a 3 gallon pot and transplant into that and be done with it. You shouldn't transplant more than once if you can help it.

Is it me or are his stems a little red? Oh and burnt leaves will never recover. The part that is burnt is dead, period.

Understood, That's my final pot. the seedling started in the yogurt cup and will only be transplanted once. I'm staying small. I've been running 12-12 for a week and switched the sprout to 12-12 also a few days ago. It's probably time for it to be transplanted as well right?

Yes, the stems are red. I think they're just like that, because it's always been that way. But of course it could be from deficiency right? What deficiency exactly? also it's bag seed so no telling any strains.

The burnt leaves have recovered as much as they will, understood. I thought about pulling it, but what if the other turns out male? lol So I'm thinking about waiting till sex shows.

Unless space or money is an issue I don't see the point of pulling before you know its sex. I personally transplant will I see roots hit the bottom or in 2 weeks from seed. Which ever comes first. Stems aren't naturally red. Even "purple" strains only get coloration in their stems during flowering. Red typically means either a Nitrogen deficiency or Phosphorous. I wouldn't say go crazy on the fertilizer and it's still too early in the plants growth and you'll likely burn it.
