So is that bad

its transplant shocked- maybe a bit overwatered, should perk up in a few hours with good airflow.

Soil runoff is usually low as it draws acidic salt buildups out of soil- you would want your ph going in to be about 6.5-6.7 though, it drops slightly as pot dries out giving full access to minerals and nutrients the plants need.

So how can I make these sdjusents before testing runoff..

And when using the nutrients..as long as I'm using some it helps right ? Better some then none or too much ?

This.lights good enough for these pots as is at 3/ ft away ?

3 ft away is fine. Especially for plants that little.

The only thing you need to adjust is the ph of your nutrient solution. And No, you just transplanted you don't need to be feeding for another two or three weeks.

LESS IS MORE.

Move it closer. Move all the buckets close together? Your gonna have heat problems with both lights and they will stretch from that too

This is why you might want to make a small enclosure for veg. And just leave them in the solo cups for space reasons for a lot longer before switching. Just easier while they are so small to use less power in a smaller place

you dont water until its ready.... could be a week after transplant depends on how well your soil holds water, how quickly it transpires out of your pots and how quickly your plants use it.

Slow the Fuck down. PATIENCE PAYS.
No, dont feed them anything.
Yes you have plenty of light from 1 1000W to do your entire grow. HAVE you even looked at my journal??? I have 4 ft plants under 430W of light!!!

All that you need to be concerned with at this point is being very very patient and observant. Watch your plants.... post pics of them, worry about your heat issue, if it is still an issue- it probably will be once the room fills up and it gets warmer outside.

Those plants look over watered but when growing other plants normal ones in soil, I always let the plant dry out really good then soak the whole pot after transplant. Never grown pot in soil tho.

see here- see how there is like 20-25 plants kind of piled up right there- all under 1000W of light (some around 3 ft tall). If I desire less stretch, I lower my light and have the fan blowing directly under the light so heat gets blown away before it reaches the plants.

I will ask again- Do your lights have Heat shields (glass covers)??

Leading a horse to water.... you fucking thirsty yet?

Or better yet how about 21 plants under 430W of light? The pots become too small long before the light is not enough.... I can keep the plants an inch away from T5's with proper airflow... I have 4 ft tall plants under the same kind of light at this..... There in the center of the pictures is the seeds I planted right around the same time you planted yours (center 6 on right, strain difference makes them obvious to me)

Beautiful^ ! I saw these new smart pots they have when the smart pot reps came to my local store. The side unfold kinda and makes transplanting a breeze. You seen it?

Nah havent seen it. I like the pot sizes of these is all, and how much air the soil gets. makes it easier for me to go through their growth in stages.

Yea I was gonna put some mothers in soil but I don't know enough and it's too slow for my cloning needs. But is check them out if you ever go to replace. The sides fold inand you can untuck them and pop the dirt right out easily. Just figured Id tell you bout em. Looks like you got a shit ton of plants. Most I'll have hydro going at one time will be 20

sounds interesting, know the brand? I have been having to cut these smaller pots to transplant out of them. the roots actually grow into the pots, and I am not really fond of that. been hoping to expand my collection of regular pots actually as I much prefer them- especially running clones. I am just getting up and going again after taking a break for a few years. only been back at it 2 1/2 months :D
