Should I re pot now or wait?

therealcamk · Aug 25, 2022

So I started these seeds in the fox farms light warrior soil 20 days ago, and I’m worried about the lack of nutrients in the soil. Should I say screw it and move them to a pot, deal with the transplant stress, or wait until I see signs of deficiency & feed?

I wouldn't transplant yet. 20 days is kinda a long time for those. They look like they could use more light. What do you plan on feeding them anyways?

Look small for 20 days.. they dont look like they need to be up potted but its up to you.. i think your plants would do better without those second dixi cups under the other ones.. roots need air..

I think they’re small too, if anything I would just move to 1gal pots with ffhf. I’ve just been reading not to use straight light warrior and to mix it with OF or HF, which is not what I did

Agree with the size. I’ve turned up the light since, & I was thinking superthrive?? I’m not sure

Not superthrive. You need real nutes. Do you plan to use synthetic or organic nutes?

Happy frog you should be good,,, ocean forest is alittle hot for young plants.. yeah if you want to up pot them go for it. If not i would get those second cup out from under the other.. all they are doing is blocking the drains of the first cups.. get some air to them roots and i bet theyll take off..

You can rig a way to have a space between the cups.

Yeah, I usually grab a rock to drop in my outer cup to lift the inner one up 1-1.5". Let the water drain out and give em a little room to breathe.
