Just a few inches around the plant..

Transplant did not go well. I flipped her over and tried to let it fall out in the cup shape. She got stuck and i am pretty sure some root tearing went on. I say the root was 3 inches long

This is one reason I use Peat Pots.

I got some rockwool starter cubes. But wasn't sure how to use them. It has a weird texture and would not close around the seed. Any suggestions?

just poke a hole about 1/2 in deep then get it wet ph'd water. You want the tube with the water coming out at the bottom not over or on the seed.

Rumman, Get yourself some 3" Peat Pots. Put your seedlings in them with the soil you will be using in the final pot. When the roots start poking out of the bottom, bury Peat pot and all in the final pot. No shock to the girls. It's the easiest way I know to transplant the girls. That's what I do. Like everything else I post. It is open for Debate.

 

[Rumman69]

So they just turn into mulch basically?

 

[kingfish]

you are correct.

Ok guys. I was too ancy and did all this replanting and cutting of things i should not have cut and here she is after 3 days in this huge pot. Is she stressed. Maby she needs a toke. I did. Do the leaves indicate low water. Ph seems like 7 in soul.

She looks waterlogged. Unfortunately underwatered looks the same. Is the top inch or two of soil dry?

dont look like it, looks wet...

Hi Rum

curled in means to much water and if you did transplant it's stressed out ..wait for it to look normal might take a week but nothing new till it shows you it wants to live. I'm sending healing thoughts as I type do you have a florescent light to put on it?

 

[Rumman69]

It was wet. I have 4 23 watt cfls. And 4 more i could add right away if needed

 

[Karlee]

I was thinking let it dry with the lights if it takes that long to dry between water bring the temp up with more light, but not to hot they need first-aid

 

[Royal Nugs]

Listen to karlee, she'll get you straightened out.

 

[Green75]

That's only 92 watts... Add more lights....bunch

 

[Rumman69]

I know i am low wattage

 

[Green75]

In my auto area I have 12 40 watts and fear that's not enough...trying to figure out how to add more as I'm typing this

 

[Rumman69]

I was fooled when i bought the cfls. It says 23 watts equivalent to 100 watts. So I thought i was getting 400 watts. Rookie mistake.

 

[Green75]

I made the same mistake...had spent a $100 on them ran them for a week then took all back and got 40's

Do these require a special fixture?

 

[Green75]

I don't believe so no
