Well since the transplant (due to root rot, bad drainage) one seedling shriveled up and died, one seedling struggling but stable, and revegging female doing great!!

Its only been two days since the transplant and the revegging female is showing green healthy growth. I'm relieved. :-P


I now have the plants in a 50/50 mix of MG seed starter soil and MG Perlite. I put a layer of straight perlite at the bottom of planters to help with drainage.

After the transplant to help with heat I put on a 18/6 light schedule. Also have moved the lights to about 5 inches away from plants. I have my thermometer positioned the same distance from the lights as the plants are to get the most accurate reading. Reading when lights on is 82 degrees.

I wouldn't be mad is other seedling died. My revegging female is the sure thing you know, lol. Plus if she bushes out I might run out of room!!!

First pic is two days ago when I transplanted. Other two taken today showing new growth.

Its been one week since the transplant and my female continues to reveg nicely.

The foliar feeding that I gave her did not do any damage. Did another one today.

I haven't watered since the transplant. I have a Moisture soil meter. It reads dry, moist, or wet. Right now I get a reading in the middle range of moist. I am going to take it easy on the waterings

In addition I have a water bottle with sugar, water, and yeast mixture for CO2 production. I have a tube coming from the bottle straight into the foliage.

Probably veg another week or so before I switch to 12/12. Depends on how much new growth there is. I'm anxious to make the switch.

Latest Pics attached.

looking good bro. the transplant was a good move. how big are the jugs, 2 liter? also, now is probably a good time to feed them some vegging nutes, i'd personally go for another 2 weeks of veg, but depends on how big you want them to get.

For the foliar feeding I am using Miracle grow all purpose plant food NPK 24-8-16. I mixed 2 tsp into 1 gallon water. I then misted the leaves and stem. After it drys I misted again with only water (couple times). Hasn't show any signs of burn.

Since the seed starter and the perlite already have Miracle Grow nutes in them I am reluctant to fertilize anymore (just the foliar feeding). I will try to veg as long as I can but I want to harvest before the new year.

I just stuck my PH tester into the soil. Getting a High 7's reading. Next watering, probably tomorrow, I will use water with a PH of about 6.0 to try and lower the soil PH.

Well my plant continues to come along. The only thing is that all the new growth has only three leaves...a triploid. Also the original stem never gained any width.

I am thinking about switching the lights to 12/12 today. There is still a room in my little box and I would hopefully harvest before the new year.

Update Pic attached.

did you have a fan blowing on her? That constant movement helps develop a strong stem.
Yeah I had a fan blowing since seedling.... I think it was due to the stress I've put this plant through early. The two main stems of new growth look to be as thick as the stem. I'll probably have to provide some support somehow.

My plant has just finished its 4th week of 12/12. I think she is experiencing nute burn a little so I am going to water without nutes next couple of times.

As you can see she is starting to fill up with Trichomes!!! She looking great. update pics attached

Hey a23, just a quick question, saw that you said you were using a 5000k CFL during veg on one of your seedlings. Where did you get it? (apparently it's very difficult to get daylight cfls in the uk and saw that you're in wales)
