This week was much better and I feel better overall about the grow. Did transplants for new soil in week 2 and they gradually recovered and gradually sped up growth. One did not recover (back middle) and it's kind of on the same nodes as the others but it's clearly stunted and will likely die over the next few weeks or earlier. I will be experimenting with this one and likely throw it outside for a possible bonsai plant on my deck or something.
Drastic change in the color of the plants in the two pictures, they are clearly much healthier. The left most plant I believe I over watered again but I think it's mainly because I kept a lot of the original soil in the transplant and it's taking it's toll, the others were more drastic transplants where I removed ALL soil, slower recovery but it's showing the value now.
I should be transplanting them this weekend to 1 gal pots, so I will give them a few more days to fill in some roots and then they will get their next home. They may not be super ready for it due to some of the delays but I think it will work well for a couple reasons (self justification) they will get more nutrients from the new soil, they can spread out wider and taller because the node spacing is like less then a CM and lastly because I want to do another transplant into 5 gal or so later before flower so middle of week 4 lines up with that.
Overall the best week yet and looking forward to this upcoming week for more growth. I will admit though that I have increased anxiety for how this grow will be, I just have this feeling that they will never grow much larger even given another 5-6 weeks to veg. I'm probably wrong but I can't deny I feel that way.
I have grown before once, smoked my own, probably 11 years ago and I remember the unforgiving pain of waiting and anticipation for the next phase or to smoke. That hasn't gone away yet but I'm trying to evolve. I find myself wanting time to move on and whatnot, other than maybe Christmas time as a young child this is the only thing that can facilitate those thoughts in my head, not vacations or really anything else. I'm sure my future self reading this is saying "Chill out pothead, you'll get your fix".
My seedlings are on day 12 and over the course of the past couple days have turned yellowish/light green. Week 1 evergreen and now this color, what could be the cause this early? I over watered a bit could that be all?
Hi there!
I aint no expert by any means but that droopiness tells me either overwatered or too intense light so they are tired. Do you have any idea what is the pH of the water you give and the pH of the soil? Could be pH problem also.. The yellowing could be overwatering or maybe your soil was so light with ferts that it's already running out or too "hot" with nutes and it's causing lock out?
