Ok so i have 2 NL autos going, one is thriving in FFOF soil, the other is in a cheap organic soil and isnt doing well. Its not growing at all and turning yellow. My question is it worth it to transplant the sick seedling into happy frog soil? or just take the loss and kill it?

If i should transplant it, how should i go about doing so?

#1. Availability
#2 Cost
#3 Only way to find something better
#4 cool to see exactly how individual mixes affect final product

Etc etc
Exactly it was an experiment that failed horribly, But now i know never to use that soil.

Rather than kill it, why not continue the experiment. All it will cost you at this point is a pot of soil and some floor space. I would take it out of the poor soil and wash away as much as I could without damaging the roots. If done gently you can get near 100% of the soil off without major damage. Then plant it in the ffof and see what happens. It most likely will under perform the one that wasn't messed with but you could still yield a few grams.

depends on how big/old they are. probably better to try and get it into better soil, if you kill it accidentally at least you tried. if the roots have filled out you want to wait until it's on the dry side, probably the roots are not filling out and you could try when the soil is on the wetter side, the soil will crumble away you may break what little roots are there and if it lives, probably will take awhile to recover, since it's an auto your yield will be even lower. kill it now or experiment and expand your experience and wisdom . you could also try and flush the bad dirt if your problem lies in the ph or overabundance of ferts.

Just buy some cheap nuts and feed the plant do not remove it from the pot it's a auto and u will not yield anything and more then likely kill it

just transplant it and slowly water it a bit northern lights it's one pretty strong strain even the auto version, I know because I deal with a few, I even topped one to experiment" with it, but anyway if it's a seedling, roots can't be too long! Give your girl the last chance ! :bigjoint:

Peanuts. Walnuts are the best.

Op, does the cheap soil have time release nutes?

Be gentle and you can transplant with little shock.

When you say seedling, how big is it.
