Hey everybody, so I’m doing my first grow and have probably messed it up already. I am growing grandaddy purple auto flowers. I have 4 solo cups, 2 with soil and 2 with coco coir.
The 2 soil are in fox farms happy frog. They’re probably around 3 inches tall and seem relatively healthy. It’s been about 20 days since they came out of the ground and unfortunately(?) seem to already be flowering and I haven’t transplanted yet. I’m unsure what my game plan should be at this point. Im assuming I need to transplant still so they don’t become root bound in the cups but I would imagine I should have already done it, and not sure about stressing the plants. Also, I have general hydroponics 3 part and wondering if/how much I should add.
The bigger issue is the coco coir plants. I think the odds are good that they’re too far gone at this point but I’d appreciate some opinions. I made the fatal mistake of making decisions with chat gpt, and before I got the general hydroponics, trying to use the nutrients I already had that the guy threw in when I bought the tent(per chat gpt I was using jacks clone formula(15-6-17 I believe)). Obviously that didn’t work well and beyond the plants being stunted the entirety of their time, within the last 4 or 5 days their leaves have been very dramatically drooping and and the first sets of true leaves look horrific(probably at least partially because I turned the light on too high and likely burned them pretty good). One of them has a lot of purple stem going on also. I’m looking for A)a game plan to salvage them B) a complete guide with coco coir so I can start them off better next time( I’ve done a fair amount of research but everything is very piecemeal and it’d be great to find a guide that has all the info I need)
As far as other parameters, the temp inside the tent is generally around 77F(with a seedling mat under them set at 78), was in the 70s for humidity while they were young and then moved down to around 60 now. I had the light (sf4000) set about 18 inches above them, started out at 25%, and they got leggy so I moved it up to 40, and then probably about 7 days ago moved it up to about 60%(I know, bad idea) which has probably contributed to the problems I’m having. I’ve included pictures. The big ones are the soil ones, and the ones on deaths door are the coco ones of course. Thanks in advance. If there’s any info that would help figure this out, let me know, I’ve got more info but didn’t want to completely inundate and scare off anyone who might be able to help.
