I've watered them 1 time since the transplant, and Im waiting until signs of complete DRYing before next water. When is it time to start thinking about nutes? The time frame suggests their growing slow, 30 days since beginning of germ, 15 days since I put them into the red plastic cups and only 4 days since I put them in the permeant homes. Since the transplant, the plants have only responded positively, growth is speeding up. What do ya think??
Sounds like a rich soil mix. Should be good for at least a few weeks, maybe a month. Some growers take it to harvest with nothing but the OF soil and a few things mixed into the soil. The more experienced can probably give a more precise answer.

they look alot better now...... just do what your doin and wait for that soil to almost dry and they wont slow down at all!!!! they will go very fast from here! That foxfarm is GOOD shit so wait till they are very pretty and healthy to start with nutes.
(a week maybe...?) use foxfarm nutes if you can , they are the shit too!!! follow the nute directions and just start them on a very week diet then jump it up after a week. GOOD LUCK!

What's up people? I thought I'd update the few of you on the little ones. There looking great and seem to be growing well so far. I haven't started them on any nutes as of yet, I figured the fox farm soil would help them along for awhile. You recommended going with fox farm nutes as well, are there particular ones that i need to look for?? I plan a journey to my local grow store in the near future after a next pay day. I looked in to them a little and could only find GROW and BLOOM ones..?? I had to re-locate closets check the new set up and growth.

I just switched to 18/6. The soil is professional potting soil, mix contains pine bark, peat moss, perlite, and wetting agent. It has a .20-.10-.10 NPK rating. I've tested the water and soil for pH and results were 7. I have a big fan blowing on the softly all day. I watered them immediately after I transplanted into new cups, I water them again yesterday which was a little more then 24 hrs since the transplant but haven't watered them since. I checked them just now and they're looking a little better, the 2 are still kinda droopy. The cotyledon are starting to get some green back and less yellow. i guess they went under some stress from the transplant. Hopefully they continue to perk up. Any suggestions for improvements I can make. How is the growth looking for 3 weeks since germ, 2-2.5 weeks since sprouting??
for some reason that setup looks sketch! be careful man would hate to see something happen to a fellow marijuana friend

Thanks for all your help my friends! I picked up the Foxfarm Grow big today, I didn't have enough dough on me for the other 2 formulas. Do you suggest I try to get all 3 or do you think that I'd be fine with the Grow Big and Big Bloom ones? The little ones are starting to grow rather quickly, seems like inches per day.

One other question that I had was concerning power? My bill increased $30 from the month that I started the op. This is a 33% jump in the bill. Is this a noticeable increase, should I be worried about it. I've read and heard that as long as you pay your bill in full each month there should be nothing to worry about.

Wyteboi thanks for all the help that you've been providing, Your a life saver!

that's a pretty small change, that sounds like what a 400w hps would pull?
that should not raise an issue, if it did. probably 1/4 of the country's houses would have search warrants issued

some times the power people will call u JUST to alert u that ur bill has went up 33% JUST to make sure you know about it...... that way if someone was stealing power from u, you would know about it. BUT THATS ALL! your bill is so low they wouldnt even care or think about THAT at all.!
