2nd CFL grow

you may have to bottom feed those plants to avoid dry pockets in the soil.
just a thought i would say you are ready for a watering just my opinion.

I gave them a light watering this morning...they are looking no better, maybe even worst.

I'm not far away from ditching these dirt dwelling dwarfs
 
my hempy continues to do well, the dirt dwellers are slightly better...gave then a watering this morning

yes, I'm pleased with the hempy....but the dirt devils are not doing so well at all...they seem to be way behind my first grow in soil

It's my understanding, when running side-by-side hydro/soil-less (I assume that's what hempy is?) vs soil....soil always lags behind. The trade off most people seem to say is that soil-grown will taste better.

yeah, hempy is the most simplistic form of hydro, a 2L pop bottle filled with 3 parts perlite and 1 part vermiculite, with a side drain hole about 3 inches up.

I'm not sure about taste but I think hydro typically does grow faster than soil...... but I'm no expert
 
yesterday afternoon turned really nice and sunny, so I transplanted the third plant into a large pot, today is sunny as well.

I gave the hempy a topping/FIM
 
shut down the CFL grow-closet and have relocated to a spare bathroom with a 600 HPS...will use the CFL room for young seedlings

What potting soil did you use ? I started using black gold from an ace hardware in 3 in peat pots. Once the roots started growing thru the bottom I moved in to 1 liter containers with my garden soil mix. Eventually these will go out to the woods :) in a couple or three weeks.

I just used this generic "Dutch Treat" potting soil from a local garden store, as I had used it last year for my indoor/sunlight grow and it worked well.

I will likely try the hempy approach for this year's indoor/sunshine grow but will use a larger container, maybe a 3 gallon bucket
