so I have this 3 week old seedling and wanna know if its ready to transplant into a bigger pot and add perlite my medium is peat moss and think im gunna keep that all the way through, my fertilizer is 24-8-16 so I was wondering when I could hit them with a very light dose of nutes again, 3 weeks old and will be in a 1L pot once I transplant, is the plant strong enough for the stress?IMG_0994[1].jpgIMG_0995[1].jpgIMG_0996[1].jpg its a ghetto little grow I know but its lookin nice to me.

I grow hydro so I'm not sure about re-potting, but I would suggest first feed soon, although she looks great, nice green, I usually wait until I see a slight red/purple in the stem or the leaves start to look a little less dark green, then I feed.


But don't take my word for it, I don't have experiance in anything but hydro.


i just recently took some clones to start a couple of mother plants and I have them in pots, so I am keen to see what others think about when to transplant.

I see four sets of leaves, I think you're good to start a light nute routine (half strength). Try gently removing the plant from the pot and see if you have a mass of roots at the bottom of the pot. If you see roots starting to swirl at the bottom you're ready for transplant.

ya transplant into a final pot but for me a 1 litre final pot is kind of a joke lol...that plant will need to be flowered very soon and will yield little in a 1 litre im talking you will have to flower in a week or two and will be lucky to yield a half o..also i dont feed until about 6-8 inches tall so id give it a half a week or week ish before giving them their first feeding and transplant them into a 3 gallon at least..i also personally dont do half strength and all that i give em a full feeding every week one time, straight from 8 inches to harvest, as i feed organic and therefore do not need a flush period at all

I transplanted, I wasn't about to pull the plant out of the pot without meaning it don't wanna shock it for nothing, the roots were just starting out to poke through the soil.

and how much do I feed it at a time?? ( I know half strength) is there a certain amount of the mixed liquid I should apply? or should I just water it normally with the nute solution?

are u doing this in a PC case? ask cuz ur cup dont look bigger then ur fan, which looks like a 80mm. and there is no set time for flowering main factor is ur max height.

no reason to transplant twice go straight from a starter cup to a final pot imo..thats why i thought you were going to flower in that lol..also a transplant at any age will not stress a plant if done right no worries..what nutes do you have? looks like some type of chemical single fert..tbh i would not use that..that said with what you have i would take my normal watering container (for me a gallon jug) and mix the recomended amount into that at full strength however you will not be able to use that through the flower cycle it is not the right composition..spend 35 bucks for the general organics grow box and you will have everything you need including easy to understand instructions!! you wont be disappointed if you change it up just a bit like im saying to and you will never go back to an all purpose feed again

also in case you didnt know this your water should always sit out a day or two before using it if its tap and should always be given to the plants at room temp
