Ok, I moved a variety of Bubblicious, ICE, and 3 random Mandala strains(which germinated, and grew the most hardy and strong). From little starter pots with foxfarms dirt (no perlite). The starters held a tad more dirt than what the container for a rapid rooter would I moved them when the roots had wrapped the soil up nice and tight. I moved them into 2.5qt pots that was 65% FF, and 35% perlite. That soil had marine cuisine added to it though. I think somewhere around .25 - .7 cups of it. Now the lowest leaves have started to turn brown on the tips, and the new leaves seem to be growing out without any signs except one, that has a tad of it on the tip. They have been in that dirt for 26 hours now. IT was an accident. I meant to put them in plain FF with perlite. I will be moving them ASAP, but my new grow house has specific times I can go over there and such. Shock won't bother me, or slowed growth. I do not want them to die. The visible effect is minimal at the moment. How much time would you say I have until major damage is inflicted. P.S. - The 10 White Rhino's that I started to germinate last Friday, are now in their little starters, the 9 that did germinate have sprouted out, and are working on their first set of serrated leaves. I can see a little bit of root coming out of the bottom of one of the starters (4" tall) already. I expect all 9 to make it. P.S. 2 - I just happen to walk by some 5 gallon nursery pots today, when looking for something else that were the exact same diameter as the 3 gallon pots I have! 10.5". IT's perfect, they just made it deeper. IT's not the super flimsy style either, they are nice and firm. The bottom of them say they're from Vancouver BC. So it looks like I will be using 5 gallon pots after all. I don't expect them to reach 5 feet, but what they hell at least this way I might get a better yield given that I usually have my roots completely engulfing 3 gallon pots, whereas these will provide more room hence more bud. PS. 3 - Found the digital camera and will have some pictures for my next post. Unless I post before Monday.
i just got done over-nuting 5 plants. One of them not too bad. but the other 4 are fucking scorched. This fuck-up was entirely my own. I thought I had memorized the Fox Farm dosage plan. I used to look at it before every feeding. After a lil while, I got to thinking that I had properly memorized it. As things turned out, I had not memorized a goddamn thing correctly. I was feeding 4x the recommended amount of FF Big Bloom. One of the stupidest mistakes I can think of. :bong-2:
Been there myself SG, mixing up tablespoons of Grow Big and Tiger Bloom into my nute mix when it's supposed to be in teaspoons. I would flush them good after the transplant WiZ. If that is FF marine cuisine it's 10-7-7 time released, real hot and it's only recommended at 1 tbs. per gal of soil. So I would transplant asap and flush the shit outta them. I don't have any idea how long they'll be ok in the existing mix but I wouldn't wait too long. I sent ya a PM on my WR grow, I definitely should of used 5 gal buckets like you were lookin at, they were close to being root bound in the 3 gal pots. I picked up some 5 gal homer buckets and drilled some drainage holes in them for the grow I have going now that are more sat dom and can't wait to see what the WR will do in them with a longer veg the next go I have at them. Good Luck asssit:
I will get them into plain FF tomorrow afternoon. Then Flush the shit out of them just to make sure any hot soil that might still be on the roots, wll get flushed the fuck out.
