No problem mate, hopefully your on the right track now.

I wouldnt worry too much about root damage, as it seemed to a ph issue there shouldnt be root burn or anything.

Tho that activera stuff is a great root tonic, think of it as a security blanket, protects against a wide range of issues.

I like to use aloe vera, 1/10 parts water. Its full of salicylic acid which promotes root development and a healthier root zone. You can also use it for rooting gel when taking clones!

They just look so small compared to other 15 days old autos i see in the forum. I dont know... should i start over with new soil and seeds? I will give them 3 days if they dont start growing in a good rate then i guess lime has make damage to soil flora.

What would you do?

 

[hashead]

I wouldnt get rid, they arent that small tbh. The first few weeks of their lives is spent developing roots. Id transplant into smaller pots and keep em going. If I had extra soil and seeds id plant some more in 2 weeks, that way i stagger my harvest.
id then chop [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG],2,3,4,
then plant more ,and a month later the second harvest will be ready and the next round will be a month old. Does this make sense?

 

[hashead]

So [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG],2,3,4 will be ready in roughly 90 days.

If you plant more in 2 weeks (well call em [HASHTAG]#5[/HASHTAG],6,7), theyll be roughly 30 days behind [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG],2,3,4

So when you chop #1-4, #5-7 will only need another month and youll have space to plant [HASHTAG]#8[/HASHTAG],9,10 (which would now be about 60 days behind #5-7)

Increasing your harvests

Yes it makes absolut sense. I have a dual spectrum lamp. Its ok to use it for germ and veg? Or is it better to use the hps for seedlings and vegging? I have all of them dual, hps and mh at 600w. Currently i have the mh running.
The thing is that i have only 20 litres of biobizz light mix + 30% perlite = 26 litres.
I have some 15 litre airpots and i could fill 2 of them 13 litres each. Where i live i have to pay a lot of shipping to get soil so i will have to look for some other soil here at the shops.

Use you MH for seedlings/Veg and hps for flower. If you only have one tent id use just hps, it may cause stretching in your younger plants but will mean the older plants that are flowering get the spectrum they need to produce nice buds.

If you transplant #1-4 into smaller pots you will end up with leftover soil from their pots, you can add this to your other soil for your next round. It'll also free up space in your tent. Im in a 1x1 for flowering, I use four 10l pots (mayonnaise buckets with holes drilled in) and find myself short on space come harvest time.

Since soil is expensive where you are you should look into plagron nutes. They do a dry additive called supermix, you use it to ammend the soil after its been used so you can recycle your soil. Along with some bat guano, its all your plant needs.

Well and water of course! Lol

When you say you drill holes in the mayo buckets you mean on the side aswell?
I could transplant in some days when the soil will dry up from the flush you think?
The hack with the plagron Rocks! I guess i will have to come up with a new setup for pots then.
As for the stretching of new seedlings, could i use some lifting bricks to make the pots come higher?
Sorry for the flooding of my questions but this is the only place i can talk about growing with other persons
And here is a photo of [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG]. I feel she is doing ok. She looks energised finally. The leaves are not the green it should be tho. She could use some calmag or sulphur epsom salts you think?

All over the sides and bottoms with a 15ml drill bit.

Yea going organic makes life so much easier, you let the soil do the work for you. Tho you wont get as high yields as say a synthetic coco or hydro grow, I think the bud structure, resin production and terpene quality is much better with organics. Quality over quantity...

To bring the seedlings closer to the light? You could but the light/heat could be too intense, youd have to try and see. The stretch would be caused by the lack of "blue" in the hps spectrum.

She looks much better! Leave her be for a few days and you will see more of an improvement.

Keep me posted on their progress, I wanna tag along for the ride

Hello professor! I want to thank you again for your advices. They are a life saver.Everything ok in day 15 for the babies. 48 hours after the flush out, things look to move on along. There is still some discoloration in the leaves tho. I have a chinese soil ph tester and i take readings deep in the soil every morning. Plant [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG],2,3 have ph of 6.3-6.5 and [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] is at 7 and she is the youngest at day 11. I guess [HASHTAG]#4[/HASHTAG] didnt get a good flush ha? But she looks ok. Its the only one without discolotation on the leaves I am wondering what kind of watering i will make after the pots are dry. Should i feed only calmag or calmag with nutes? You told me i should water them after they dry with ph of 7 and ec 1.2. Is this still valid? Also i didnt understand one thing you told me about watering--> *On my next watering i should use a lot of water around the pot to get run out? My pots look big, i cant find on them how many litres they are but i guess they look around 20-25 litre pots.--> *If i water slowly near the stem i will need less water (lets say 2 litres) and get run out? Im trying to understand..Am i going to need a lot of water and nutes to get run outs?
I went to the shop today and took a 15mm drilling head. Pots are now Air Pots I drilled them like they are and some pieces of plastic got lost inside the soil I hope this dont become a problem. I thought transplanting now from such big pot will be risky for a root damage so i decided to take them to the end.
Here is [HASHTAG]#1[/HASHTAG] photo from today

She's looking better, that "lime green" colour is ok. It should darken over time.

Is it the kind with 2 metal prongs that you stick in the soil? They give an estimation rather than an exact figure.
Have you a digital ph tester too?

Next watering I would give half strength nutes (ive never had to use calmag) @7 ph. And yes water close to the stem, the water will flow down with no need to get the soil at the edges wet (that would only slow down the soil drying).

Collect the water at the bottom and test that. Youll know then if you need to increase/decrease nutes or higher/lower the ph in your feeds.

With the holes in the sides your pots will drain better and more air will get to the roots. Solving your xxl pot problem
