    Newbie looking for assurance

    Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am a newbie to growing and am just looking for any advice. I am running a 2.5x2.5x5 tent, a 600w welpar LED panel, and a clip on fan. Also have a digital probe therm/hygrometer in there. I understand that with limited pics comes limited help and I'm working on that, but this is the only pic it will let me upload, I'll try to put more pics. Also, I'm feeding half strength soil milk every other watering. Should I soak down the smart pots and the other buckets right after transplant?

    Right now the plants needs some time to make roots and gain strength before transplant. Be sure not to overwater cause it's still young. When you do transplant water well but don't soak the medium

          Soil milk is just the brand of nutrients that I found at the local greenery that matched what the chart said for levels

            D.a.a.s I have just transplanted out of Dixie cups into fox farms ocean forest, mixed with a little coco and the ph is right at 7, the nutrients are just a standard veg nute.

                Get ur self some silica and b vitamins npk industries is very cheap and goes a long way. What silica mainly does is strengthens ur plant and b vites puts ur plants immune system in over drive to fight against stress and to recover much faster this is a key thing for transplanting yes a lot of people do it successfully but there plants dnt recover very fast some even die. B vites 1 to 2 weeks before transplanting start feeding them this and ur chances are way better. Just a thought . After transplant give them about 500ml nutes/water. U want a fertilizer with a mid range of phousphous when transplanting like a 3-4-4 type roughly. Also kelp and humic acid 5-1 ratio will help with rooting it's basicly what the rooting hormones use unless there synthetic.

                  Droop in the leaves either means to much water or not enough. What's ur soil and do u have perlite? If not when u transplant do a 60/40 roughly or 50/50. Just remember the more perlite the more often u gotta water perltie let's air get to ur roots (faster growth)

                    Your gonna be alright, normal for drooping after watering, don't overwater an keep your PH 6.2 to 7.0 ,my plant really likes 6.3 to 6.5 . Your gonna do a good job, good luck.

                      Thanks for the info, I wish I could put more pics on here for whatever reason it won't let me get the size down.
                      Do you think silica and b-vitamins is necessary

                      Not at all. If you are using soil you'll barely going to need any nutes. Just for flowering something with P & K. In hydroponics any nutrient high in N will do for veg and the same PK for flowering. Lots of other stuff to learn for now. Staring with watching the plant grow.

                      Btw take a screenshot of your phone/computer and upload that. Works great

                    Stick ur finger in the soil upto ur 1st nuckle (1inch) and if it feels cold and moist ur fine. The trick is to water then let dry out very well then water again also do u have holes in ur pots for air to get to ur roots. Fabric pots are the way to go to prevent over watering. On a scale of 1-10 for dryness u want around 2-3 and when u water u want a 7-8. I hope this helps
