15 days from sprout, Drooping?!?!

[diggs99]

Early this morning this plant just started dropping bad it seems. The other 3 all seem fine.

Almost looked like it was falling asleep lol

Cup was light so gave her a good watering to runoff about 90 mins before lights out.

Someone please have a look so I can know if it's normal or I can correct whatever is causing it.

You should only barely water enough for young starts.
I wet my medium before germination. and maybe twice in the next two weeks.
Your bigger plants are ready for transplant.

The drop was most probably simple wilting from drought. If this is the case it should perk back up within a couple hours you will notice some yellowing on the bottom leaves over the next week. No big deal and they will be fine. When you must water a solo cup every 3 days or less then you are due for transplant

 

[diggs99]

Ok guys thanks


FYI the biggest girl has been drying out her cup less than 2 days. The other 3 have been every 2 days this past 6 days or so.


Maybe they are ready for bigger pots .

I did as you said for germination , then only slightly watered around stem for first 6-7 days, then moved them into the tent and started using the light cup method for last week.

I'm gonna take your advice and prepare to transplant into bigger pots.


I have 2g, 3G and 5g smart pots.


Should I leave the droppy plant in the solo cup for now?

It looks healthy enough to transplant. Transplanting is low stress.

Transplant is only low stress when root bound. Transplant to soon can damage roots.

Did the droopy one not bounce back after watering? If it didn't there is more to it than simple wilting.

I watered it approx 90 minutes before lights out. And just before I left for work. Lights come back on in 3.5 hours.

I'm at work for another few hours, will check as soon as lights come on when I get home .

Hey it seems you were right, she seems to have bounced back nicely and looks normal again.

I was going to transplant tonight but then realized my mykos still hasnt shown up yet, should i go ahead with transplant anyway or should i wait another day or two until it shows up?

 

[Dynamo626]

Most potting soils have it anyway. I have used great white, extreme mucus, dont use any now and dont see any difference. I would just transplant. If you feel you must you can always brew a tea and add the mycos to that.

I’m growing in fox farms ocean Forrest and perilite.

Big girl is completely dry again, just over 24 hours since I watered her, I think she’s def ready to move to bigger pot.


Other 3 were all watered this morning, so hopefully soil will be dry enough tomorrow to transplant those.

Would you go to 2g pots from solo or straight to final 5G pot?

 

[diggs99]

I just finished transplanting the biggest girl. Soil was very dry and loose, almost fell apart in my hand.

Really hope I didn't do any damage.

Gave her a 8oz watering around base of stem and put her back in the tent.

It's amazing how very little I know about all of this stuff lol


Here's a few pics.

 

[diggs99]

Ugh she don't look very good this morning.

Really hope I didn't damage her during transplant. I think my soil may have been a little too dry.

Lights out now, hopefully after some rest she can bounce back.


Watered her with 8 ozs around base of stem after transplant and then another 8 ozs slightly out towards edge of pot further this morning.

There are many ways to transplant no doubt
When I transplant 1. If the soil is moist I pack the soil down into the pot before I invert it...and B. (haha) if the soil is dry I water it, pack it, invert it and then transplant...and also, plan your transplant in advance...give it a try.g/l

looks like they need some [email protected] you have holes in the bottom of those Solo cups - good. Water at that age would be about every 3-5 days...cannabis likes to dry out a bit...could be why they never grow in swamps.

lol vi@gra, got none, all i got is floranova bloom lol


ya its only been the last 6-7 days they started taking a lot more water, they were taking water every 3-5 days for first 10-11 days or so, but then started drinking heavier and all 4 were drying out the cups within 48 hours, with the biggest drying out hers in less than 24 hours before transplant. wondering if them being under the 600w mh is causing them to dry too fast?

i dunno, still learning as i go

 

[diggs99]

Update on 4 girls


Fruit punch 1 bounced back well after transplant it seems.


Just finished transplanting the other 3
