Up date after transplanting

[makoman]

Hi all, just an update after I got advice from a couple wise people about what was wrong with my babies (over watering ) .After transplanting to air pots and non preferted soil 4 days ago,and using a fan to drop the RH This is how they are today.
When should I start feeding them ??? looking at a Seaweed based fert called Seasol will this be good as weed nuits arn't readily available here..
Cheers in advance.

Can you take a pic of the back of the bottle? I can't seem to find the ingredient levels online.

Hi,there's nothing on the back of the bottle ,but you use it in conjunction with their other product Powerfeed which has a composition of N-P-K 12 - 1.4 - 7
what's your thoughts.
Cheers

I dunno for sure. Im still learning the npk level thing myself. Someone else should be able to help more once they jump on. That seems like a little bit high of a k level imo at least for veg. The other levels seem fine though.

Cheers mate thanks for your help!! they are looking way better now ,just not doing much ,probably checking on them to much lol.

 

[UrbZ]

Yeah its hard to tell what is happening when you look at them 50 times a day. lol. I do the same thing. New growers worrying. That will get better with experience. And your babies should bounce back fine. just going to be a couple days to notice.

Just by looking at the picture with all 6 together they look much better. Much more vibrant green. They will be just fine. They are already loving their new home.

I'm much happier now LOL have found a local hydro shop that has a product called Growzilla with a N-P-K of 28.5.30 will get some.

Hello mate, I just read through and if I remember rightly dude.....N-P-K is nitrogen, potassium and kalium, the kalium is basically phosphorus......you need lots of N and less of P+K in the grow/veg phase and then less N in bloom/flower and more P+K......in the second picture it looks like the plant has pulled all the N from the leaves below to feed it's new leaf growth to me......the seasol's NPK values are a tad high.....but leaning sort of the right way....I have no idea of the ingredients though....I would use it weak....in a pinch!...until I could get something better suited....hope this helps dudehappy growing

Cheers Vapo,gave them a first feed with some Powerfeed N-P-K 12 - 1.4 - 7 so will see how they react .
Cheers

Just a small question helpers ,how close should I have my led at this stage ?? I have it at 45cm or 18 inches .

 

[UrbZ]

Should be able to look up light specs theyre all different. I have 3 types of leds

2 1000 watts in my veg they are rated as low as 2 feet above canopy.

I have an 1800 watt thats rated at 3 feet 11 inches being lowest hanging distance.

I also have 2 100 watts in my flower as well. They are rated at clisest height of 15 inches.

 

[makoman]

I have a 1000 led ,you are well set up!!!! Just had a look at them starting to take off even in 24hrs

 

[UrbZ]

A 1000 watt at 18 inches may be a little close for most lights. But your plants are the best judge, just keep an eye on their reaction to the light. If you get a little droopiness in the leaves when you havent watered or there are no other issues the light may be too close. If you notice nodes are spacing very far apart that means the lights too far away. It also takes a while for bleaching to show up when using leds. So usually its too late once you notice whats bleached is already bleached.

 

[makoman]

Yo they seem to be long in the stem so thinking searching for light so have lowered it slightly ,not a lot of heat coming off it so they shouldn't suffer from burn ,will check after 24hr cycle.What is bleaching you speak of???
btw where you at??

 

[Vapo69]

Dude the bleaching is due to too much light!!....you can burn your plants with too much light as well as heat

Im in Michigan myself. Google a few pics of led light bleaching. It literally takes the green out of buds and leaves.
