Should I transplant now? Adding nutes?? Noob help pls :)

[MrAnxiiouz]

Yo whats good everyone. First time grower here so I'm still learning the ropes to growing cannabis.

I have a couple questions today:
DAY 14 SINCE GERMINATION

1. Is it time to transplant this seedling into a 2-GALLON Pot? This will be the final pot size for this grow.
2. Does stem length seem okay? Length size: 2.91-3.00 cm. I feel like it is a bit short, not too sure about it tbh.
3. Did I mess up not adding perlite to the soil mix (coco, peat moss, vermiculite mix)? It seems like the water doesn't really seep through when I water it and takes a while for it to dry out. I don't really water often either.
4. Should I add nutes now? I have Fox Farm Trio (Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom) and Silica Powder from Kelp4less (excited for this product).
5. How many nodes are we looking at as of right now? I see the 2 nodes. If I'm wrong, please educate me.

*I have not added any nutes yet because I don't have a pH meter and other materials to do so.
Just using tap water which I think has a relatively neutral pH from where I'm from.*

Cheers everyone! Happy Bitcoin Halving and smoke some dank!

It's a bit early for transplant, wait until you have to water your cup more than once a day.

You'll be able to see your roots circling through the clear cup. Cannabis plants don't like lights on the roots, and it can grow algae. If you have any colored cups the same size put one over the clear.

2. Does stem length seem okay? Length size: 2.91-3.00 cm. I feel like it is a bit short, not too sure about it tbh.

Don't worry about the stem legnth, could be an indica that's going to grow short.

Next time add perlite. I use everything you use except the coco, don't know much about it. Do you have holes in the bottom of your cups?

.

4. Should I add nutes now? I have Fox Farm Trio (Big Bloom, Grow Big, Tiger Bloom) and Silica Powder from Kelp4less (excited for this product).

You could add 1/4 stregnth nutes, 1/4 teaspoon per gallon of water of grow big only for the first couple feedings.

2 and working on the third.

ive transplanted on the third day, so thats not an issue. you should be more worried about the pale colour of your plant, also looks like some of the leafs are burned.

Yeah I noticed TINY bits of algae. I'll take care of that no problem (hopefully).
I'll be patient about the stem length and add perlite when I transplant/germinate next time. I just read that germination does need ANY nutes and I thought perlite was significant, but I later learned it's more for aeration in the soil, etc. Although it does have some nutes. I'll add a miniscule amount of nutes of the big bloom like you said.
Thanks homie!

Those are the first true leaves and I believe it might be from the sunlight when it first popped out. I should've had it in the shade as it sprouted. Lesson learned. I think I'll wait another 3-7 days and see how the roots are and the growth of the plant and then decide to transplant.
Thanks!

roots dont like light, you might cover the cups with something as i think they are transparent . also, you can start adding nutes from the beggining, considering your soil mix is not prenuted. if you ask me, give this plant some Nitrogen!

I will fix that first thing when I wake up tomorrow. I just learned that they don't like light.
Yeah soil mix isn't pre-nuted, so I'll add miniscule amount of Big Bloom starting tmrw. Thanks homie!

ok dude, good luck, i would add half strength

Im thinking first and maybe second feed 1/4 strength then 1/2. Work my way up.
thanks, you too
