Needing advice. TIA

Hi all.

I'll keep it quick. Recently topped and transplanted 3 x 2 week olds into 12L root pots. Now been under a 600w hps hood for nearly 3 weeks.

Just wondering what other more experienced growers think of them? I'm a bit wary of watering as it's my first time using these root pots and I've heard that you need to water more often but I'm not sure to which schedule yet. Bit of trial and error really!

I'm getting the tips of the main leaves turning yellow. Is it over feeding nutes? I'm using biobizz grow 1ml per litre of water and each plant is getting 1l every watering.

How they looking? Any helpful advice?

Thanks all

too soon to be feeding them, you want a minimum of two or more times the amount of growth b4 food need be applied. youve probably over fed them

Shit. Ok mate thanks for the advice.
So, no nutes at all? Just ph clean water?
I'll start flushing today.

No need to flush. The nutes are in the soil already. The soil just needs watering to feed off of the soil. you're good. Still plenty of time to bounce back.
Regular PH'd distilled water at 6.5ph. Leave tap water out overnight uncovered to evaporate chlorine if you use tap.

Cheers for the advice mate. I'll see how that turns out. Was using some root juice to start them and they were cool but since starting the grow nutes, they've been looking pretty lifeless and the yellowing this morning doesnt look good

With biobizz are the nutrients all in one bottle for the grow phase? She may want more food from other sources. Gonna look them up. Never used them.

Yes mate. I've never used it either. I bought biobizz all mix for soil and decided to try the nutes as well. You get 3 bottles. one Grow, one Bloom and one Topmax but not tried that yet.

Like everywhere mate I've heard good stories and heard bad stories about the Biobizz range. First time using them so will see how it pans out.

Are you using the other products as well in the feeding schedule?

Once you start nutes back up lessen the dose. Use 1ml/2L water. See how they react. Don't wanna over feed. If you see yellowing on the inner pars near the stem on new growth then she can take more on next feeding.. but try not to use full doses for now. Let them get more leaves first.

Dont let them suck up the runoff water and when you do water allow 10-20% runoff. I'd imagine the roots are drying out in a dry pocket of the soil or something. To avoid this do a heavy watering and allow runoff, and wait for it to dry up more in between waterings. You'd be surprised how big a plant can get with just water and no nutrient.

Make yourself sure that they are not being hammered by that fan.

Just checked the schedule, not got the Fish Mix. Would that be a necessity? I'm going to get them a heavy watering first as I've never had any runoff in these pots since transplanting.

Yeah gonna do that today mate. I've never watered them until run off since they've been in their new homes so heavy watering first then I'll see how they look in a couple days
