Stunted?

I think these plants should be a bit bigger at 33 days since germination. Let's see if I can get this picture thing to work. These are GSC auto with the hot soil in bottom 1/3 of 5 gal pot. filedata/fetch?filedataid=157295

I don't get it, I can see them. I clicked on edit, preview and save. Can you see em now?

Test Is that to sexist for a test? That is just wrong, I'll add this.

Pic 1 would be fun to unwrap, pic 2 is nice also.

Cool. I think those girls are getting ready to explode. There is much new growth in the 2 days since that pic. I did the hot soil on the bottom and I think the roots must be getting down there.

Are you referring to the first pic or second?

 

[Satyaban]

Here are some more pics. These shots were taken on the 15th, 30 days since germination, and they look like they grew 10% since then. I used the hot soil on the bottom method, is it possible that the roots are just reaching the hot soil in time for budding?

That's a lot of leaf in the new pics. Hides the kitty. I'd say it's running full blast.

The problem I have with big pots and little plants is getting the watering and nutes right. My last transplants I potted in soil that was not very wet at all when transplanting. Just enough to hold it's shape as I make an impression in the new soil for the seedling size. Then just a bit of water to settle it in, maybe a cup. Still took two weeks before it needed it's first thirsty watering, but not to run of nor to complete saturation.. But they look great.

I use to water just to the point of over saturation the new transplant soil. Any runoff got recycled until it quit running off. I think that may 'trigger' too much activity in new fortified soil and aggravate pH problems?

I have changed my water strategy, as well. When I prepared my buckets, I added no water until I put the seedlings in, I believe while it was not dry I should have added water to the top soil for uniformity. I thought the plants would be bigger by now but according to LTM, I think, I have five weeks to go. Let me see what I can find in my pics, but I think flowering is coming on.

Many years ago I bought my grandchildren cameras and got one for myself. I just found the cable so this is the first I have used it in 7 years and am now obsessed with that and this. The upper pics are GSC and the bottom 2 are of my Poochie Love. If you can see the leaves are a bit more narrow on the PL.
