Looks slightly light green??

The two in the 5 gallon pots look slightly lighter green than the one in the 2 litre can. One of the 5 gallons seedlings is a bit behind due to shell surgery. I’ve just given them first good feed and increased light intensity slightly. Do they look healthy at the moment?

Yes, they are looking good. Since you are growing in coco, always water until run off...........never water just next to the plant and never just use a spray bottle, both these methods are useless, you need run off to help keep the coco from building up in nutrient salts. You will also need to feed from virtually day one in coco, it has zero nutrients. Coco growing is basically hydro in a pot. (I am sure you know all this, I wrote all this for the beneft of those people who gave you "advice" but did not even bother to look at your diary!)

I'm a new but fairly experienced grower. Your plants look ok for the stage of growth they're in. One thing I noticed off the bat, was how big of a container you've started your seedlings in. There's a lot of information saying to start your seeds in the same pot you're going to finish the grow in. I found that to be true if you're growing AUTO'S. If I'm growing PHOTO'S I prefer to start my seeds in a solo cup or small 4in pot. This is all preference once you have more experience. Just remember not to drench your seedlings, use a spray bottle to water until you have 2 or 3 more levels of growth. This is a very delicate stage(especially when dealing with autos). Photoperiods tend to be more forgiving, despite what you read about autos, to me, they(AUTO'S)require a lot more experience. Also, I would dial back the nutes. These companies want you to use as much product as possible so you have to keep buying more. The best thing I've learned on YouTube is "less is more".

I disagree I'd you only water around to plant that will be sufficient enough rhe roots will search outwards and deeper so spreading the damp area slightly as she gets bigger so the roots will search out... They look fine. 1st photo looks slightly lighter around the edges indicating she's got a bit to much feed don't over do it. Always under do it and add I'd needed... Happy growing

Looks okay.. these plants are robust and can withstand a good amount of user-error. Some things i notice: should use smaller pots for small plants. very difficult to water in a healthy way when you ahve a tiny plant in a big pot. Don't listen to the nonsense that gets repeated ad nauseum that transplants cause shock. First, what we do is better describd as potting up, because no damage is done to the root system, unlike a transplant with an outdoor plant, which is very stressful and does cause shock / recovery time. I've done 300-400 or more 'transplants' potting up and yet to see 1 plant get shocked by it. Don't molest the rootball or tear up a bunch of roots and all is well. Easy to avoid such things with a little care. Watering in a big pot with a tiny plant - make sure you water all the way down or else you are training superficial roots, which is less than ideal. Also, likely causing dry pockets and uneven distribution of nutrients etc etc.. it's just a bad idea in so many ways with zero benefits. Get comfortable potting up and keeping the pots an apporiate size relative to plant size. You'll develop a way more efficient root system and the benefits from that are measurable. add more perlite or similar drainage amendment to your substrate in future. To properly assess the color, reduce light or remove to normal lighting and re-assess. Intense light can make it look paler than it is and may be a healthy lush green in normal lighting. If it progresses paler, that's a good reason to react regardless of that fact. if it continues to pale, probably need a bit more Nitrogen in your fertilization. check out cocoforcannabis guides and articles. the least amount of bro-science nonsense you'll find anywhere. if other sites contradict the knowledge from their guides/articles, it's likely total bullshit. plenty of the information applies to both soilless and soil methods, despite the name of the website.

Hello dmac80, you dont have to worry they look fine. I would not feed them so early they are very small and in the soil the should be enough nutrients for the small plant. You can start to feed them after 2 Weeks slowly and not so much. Happy Grow!

Hi ja sehen beide normal aus, und so klein wie sie sind brauchen die noch kein dünger, in der Erde wenn du sie nicht sterilisiert hast ist auch meistens schon etwas an Nährstoffe drin. Die Samen haben auch eine protion an Nährstoffe die sie in den ersten Tagen verosgen. Du kannst da. Ab dem Tag 20 oder 25 langsam anfangen zu düngen und dan immer etwas mehr dazu geben. Wenn du aber sterile Erde hast dann must du früher anfangen. Aber im Moment sehen beide gesund aus
