Ya it's def burn, that soil looks pretty dark, I was advised to use a soiless medium to start them and add slow release starter nutes. Must be nice to be able to put them out already, there's still snow on the ground up here lol. I was also advised to not give them any more than 16 hours light bc when you put them outside they will start flowering with the shortened light period, but you don't have to worry bout that, I don't think you have to worry about photo's flowering when they're that young, they know that the spring has shorter days than summer and they won't flower as long as the days are getting longer.

This is what I would do if I were you, transplant each of those seedlings into there own pots with a much lighter soil, like promix, potting soil has a lot of nutes and I've heard it's too much for weed seedlings. This is how you do it, all that will be left of that soil is the root ball and it shouldn't hurt the plants any, maybe mix that soil up into promix so you'll have some nutes. https://www.rollitup.org/marijuana-plant-problems/638067-accidentally-planted-2-seeds-same.html

Easter was great, been burning tops almost every day now, take good care of your babies they'll reward you in the end, I would transplant in individual pots asap before it's too late.

Checkout my pics that I posted on that link a few posts back, you just take a spoon, wet the soil before you do it, let it sit for a min, then very slowly and carefully press the spoon in and under the seedling, it should come out in a root ball, with some soil still intact around it. Dig a deep enough hole in your other pot so that the root ball fits in, then just burry it, the one I did is my strongest seedling right now, I don't think it causes much stress at all.



The first one is actually the smaller on that I transplanted, as you can see now it is much bigger than the second on which used to be twice the size.

yeah i was just looking at that as a matter of fact, do you think the time that the transplanting is done affect your results, i read that in later afternoon helps the transplanting process as the sun is not so strong

I can't imagine, but keep in mind that I am also a noob, one thing I can say is you should do it tommorow, the longer they go the more root bound they will be.

ok, the more root bound they get means the more resisitant it will be when transplanting

hey yellowpackTOPman, Id do what this guy said.

they look alright so far though. I wouldn't stress to much on the seedlings but ya, the above advice is pretty sound advice.. I live in an area of the world where maximum daylight at the summer time is only a little over 13 hrs, so I'm always moving my plants in and out or else most of my plants would be flowering right away. and ya, definitely transplant them sprouts into individual pots

anyways, subscribed and following

When u buy soil look for the NPK and EC /ppm values written on the bag. I use layered seed mix with soil.

Alright this is what there lookin like today, yesterday i watered them with some of my tap water. as opposed to what they were used to, i usually give them purified water. today they look a little more greener then what they were yesterday. I think the tap water had something to do with that. what do you think? tell me how they are looking so far. to me they look just fine. other than still being in the same pot right now .

They look a little yellowish to me. And I see that bad burn on one leaf. Still need to move them asap. You don't want the bigger one killing the other 2

it could be cause the change of water i gave them, im aware tap water has trace amounts of mag in it, they wernt as yellow yesterday. or it could be the change in light, i brought them inside and put them on my west facing windowsill, because i had to leave my house yesterday and didnt want to chance them getting spotted from the alley. i want to leave them outside all day today and till night falls bring them in for their 6 hours of dark.

Natural sun is best outside. Even a greenhouse can't compete with today's indoorgrow lighting systems. AAlthough some are expensive there are still many options for lighting indoors that are cheap and effective. Look into cfls and fluorescent. I've used both with success
