russrahlanswered grow question 4 years ago Hey, just checked out your diary, noticed you have your seedlings directly in 5 gal pots, and I also noticed you said you flushed them till they had run off this weak. So 2 problems here, 1 your pots are way to big for your seedlings if you are new to growing. Yes it is a nice idea to put your seedling directly in itโs large pot, removing the need for transplants later on and stress, but only if you are aware how to do this, most new growers who do this will drown there plant slowly but surly. 2, your definitely overwatering. You stated you flushed it this week till you had run off, thatโs way to much water. Your plant roots are not even close to big enough to handle that much water. You will need to let them dry completely out, then only feed water around the plant base enough to soak down as much as the plant is tall, if that makes sense... lol picture your roots basically the same size and depth as what you plant is above the soil, then try to water only that amount of area until she is much bigger and can handle a full watering. Hope this helps, Cheers๐จ
