I use it constantly, but wish i hadn't had to pay for it. It's difficult to navigate sometimes.

Hey just been reading through and some good advice here just thought id add my two cents.. first i would not use guano in any starting soil. that stage you could get away with Much less. and smaller pot size. Did you start right in that pot? maybe next time try rockwool, cubes, something to get a good rootball extablished than transplant into a party cup with holes poked out of bottum. with such a large pot and small plant the roots are having to work extra hard which will take away from foliar growth and health.

but also check ph every time you water. props on the natural soil just like stated above much to hot. and are you mixing guano sraight into your soil than planting right away? this alone can cause major issue with ph. as the guano compost and breaks down ph can swing down to 4 and lock out nearly every nutrient. soils with natural nutrient amendments, especially guanos need to be "cooked" for at least 30 days.

im a newb at organics but did recently swtich my medical grow over to TLO so do know the basics.

The guano soil was cooked over two months. We went with it at the opinion of our organic soil supplier. Had no idea about ph since the bag said how to mix it. That said, what do i do now that it's already in my soil?

well if it was cooked your much better off and should be great once you plants are adolescents.. honestly If it were me i would dig them up transplent into cups with very bland soil. perlite coco, and your organic soil mix. good to use soil/perlite no matter what in my opinion. my guess is the root ball is not very established on your plants and would not be too difficult to transplant. then just 6.5-7 phed water maybe a bit of calmg is some form by week 2 or 3. then transplant into 2 qt or 1 g containers. thats my suggestion good luck!

He asks if autos are the same. He was under the i impression that autos don't transplant well

Digital tester for water is fine... Always want ph 5.5 - 6

Thus is other reason for suggested flush
To much nutes or to off ph can b fixxed this way

You're in soil, stop listening to the hydroheads. Fluctuate between 6.4-6.6 in soil for increased uptake of nutrients.

Autos don't transplant well, because they have a limited veg time. No real spare time to regrow roots or overcome shock. You want them in the final pot, and if you HAVE to transplant, do it plenty before day 25.

They don't look bad to me. I'd say let them be and don't water too much. It's easy to over water when they are in large pots to start. That's why I always start in peat pellets or plugs. Then when the roots start to show through I put them in solo cups. Then their final pot. Some may think I am taking way too many steps, but I am prone to over watering. They will be fine. No nutrients either at this point.

They are already in the final bucket... Why put them in solo cups and then stress then out with a second transplant

I do agree that sometimes you can over care for the plant as well. As said earlier it may be water spots or it could be the start of an issue. Best to stay the course and monitor it IMO. The worst thing that can happen is to start throwing stuff at it, again IMO.
