First Grow

ATTN: transplant question answerers - the question is bugged and won't let me select an answer to close the question. Anyway... Week 3 started with the first topdress and a good watering with calmag. 3ml for 1gal tap water, bubbled 1-2 days. PH down from 8 to 6.5 with a few drops. Sprayed in over 1/3rd of this mix slowly over time. Debating the best time to transplant. The babies are just about on the edge of seedling to young veg, 6 leaves but no fully developed true leaves yet. They are just starting to show roots at the bottom of their solo cups. Decided to give them a bit of food and the tentative plan is 1 more week. Topdress: For 3 solo cups 3tbsp castings 2.5tsp roots organics grow For the 5gal 1/4cup castings 2tsp roots organics grow Added a bit of soil from each cups main pot to help mix in, then watered it in. Over the next couple hours after watering, it was cool to see life surge back into the plants that were just drooping and sad. I do hate seeing those burnt leaf tips though... I've never grown anything really, so it's been fascinating to learn about and work with these living things. I've loved weed for at least 20 years now, but I'm gaining a whole new perspective and appreciation for these magical plants. The smell is already coming through, the fresh leafy "green" smell with hints of dank, and the Permanent Marker even has a weedy grapefruit smell when disturbed. I love opening the tent and breathing in that "spring fresh" humid air. It's only gonna get better when it gets into flowering. Playing with LST is like a bonus experiment in this whole first grow experiment. Watching videos and learning is one thing, but hands on experience up close and personal is so much different. I'm blown away when I tie the plant down, and hours later those little solar panels have already reoriented. Day 3 of week 3 turns out to be transplant day. After asking for input here and in a few other spots, seems like they were ready. The roots were nicely developed. I did mess up the Blueberry Muffin by accidentally removing the bottom 1/3rd of the roots when it got stuck in the cup. Transplanting is hard and scary is the lesson of the day. Prayers that the girls pull through fine despite my fumbling around with their roots. I gave a light spray with the pump sprayer to help them settle in.
