Ah dont fret it, that's how I slayed my very first grow last year,
but I didn't get on a site like this and save em.
Yeah go get ya a soil mix that is something 50%ish of peatmoss and the rest perlite/vercumlite/pine bark/ogranic soil (thats what i use anyway, there is a ton of good soil mixes)
if you look in my albums I show the soil mix I use and I add vercumlite and worm casting to it and I have no soil issues, dont even have to test the PH anymore its always in range 6.9-7
What I did with a set was I got a large tub to soak the soil off the roots,
the running water could hurt the roots, and your roots touching something like a sink could
make them sick by germs ect. Im a health nut so if I wouldnt eat out of it
I wouldnt expect my plants to either.
then gently get the roots into the soil, no water no nothing, wait 1-2 days (2 if the soil is already mosit especially)
Ive done this for years planting all kinds of everything including weed and it works better,
the roots go down looking for water so they get better established than if you drown them some more.
All spoken from experience.
please do yourself a favor if it says MG, dont get it, plp say it works, but not for noobs, so
do yourself a favor and go with something else, what I use is in my albums so get ya some ideas.
They are def worth savign and i think they will pull though nice.
my first grow, 2 weeks old, in 3*4 inch pots with clayton balls at the core and fertilized soil,150 watt HPS at a distance of 30 cm, 18 hours + 2 hours under the sun daily. Fan, exhaust, the works. Was stupid enough to give them nutes since day 1 and after a few days of nice growing the leaves started turning yellow. I flushed them and started giving them just water (bottled - no idea about the ph). One of them got better while the other faked it and now is giving me yellow edges on each new leaf. and these few days I'm seeing new symptoms, the laves are curling (cupping) as if they're begging. I don't know what to do!!!!! I'm going to repot them tomorrow into sme big pots, and start giving them mild nutes. WHAT DO YOU GUYS think???? please read carefully what I wrote
I'll keep you updated ifinterested.Peace!
