is that organic soil or a type that has alot of fert's. maybe to much for young girls??

 

[shizbiz]

yeah its organic soil...Miracle grow

 

[BORNaSMOKER]

looks ok to me mate, the strains are different and the they are grown from beans yea?? SSH can a bit of a bitch to grow but as long as it's watered ok then you should be cool man.

What's the big bark chip in your soil?? or is it just a topping.

How long ago did you plant the seeds?

What's your temp like? Should be around 28 C in the day tops and no more than 10 C less at night (18C)

micacle grow sucks, you're gonna get bombarded with these messages.
for young girls they only need rockwool or peet pellets. It's a hot fertilizer, meaning to hot in nutes for little girls, give em lots of water, hopefully someone can answer if transplanting is worth it??????????????

what he said !!! you need a light mix like plagron light or plant magic (i assume your UK) and smaller pots to start don't hurt. Always need to do a re pot in to stronger soil. i.e. palnt in light soil and transpalnt to MG organic or whatever floats your boat... If your gonna do soil though I reccomend looking at VerdantGreen's soil mix as it is high grade and low price!!

again.. what he said!!!!

MG is shite!! also transpanting is only viable if the root system is hardly developed... considering the size of them it should be ok but it's bery tricky... you need to wash the soil away a bit at a time to expose the roots being careful not to snap majour/too many roots. You can then replant your nicely cleaned roots into lighter soil... Like I said before though the plants don't look too un happy and might get through this with a bit of water!


ps don't feed these guys for ages

 

[shizbiz]

temps are goin high... about 33-34 during day..and thats just particles form the organic soil

 

[B. Friendly]

raise the light then so it's colder around the plant.
sounds like transplanting is ok since no real root development yet. put em into promix or something like that, sunshine mix...

 

[shizbiz]

thanks for all the input guys...considering a transplant to some other soil...can i not leave a little bit of miracle grow , that is around the roots stay and change the soil ?...if not...taking into consideration watering them.....i used to water them about a 100 ml every day...but when i posted that on my link, i think someone suggested to water every two days...so thats when i started watering them every 2 days and after a week, they started messing about...how much is a suitable amount to water if say i go on with the miracle grow......

 

[B. Friendly]

ya man don't disturb whats grown that much!!!!!!! leave some soil around the roots from miracle grow and then water the shit out em.

 

[shizbiz]

the light is already about 13 inches above the plants....if u can suggest something about the water and light would be grate.... for more info on the grow.. u can check http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=168927

 

[shizbiz]

i have flushed the soil ...watered the soil about 400 ml each... till they started to drain some at the bottom...will do this after another two days again if all goes well the first time...hopefully i shud be regaining some normalities

 

[B. Friendly]

if it's hot raise the light, 2 feet is not to high especially for such little guys
and hopefully you repotted with dif soil

 

[Tanoli Khan]

Good luck shiz... told you you would get all the input u needed Thanks B.Friendly for helping my friend out...

 

[jammie]

at this stage those leaves are solar panel to supply energy to roots. in my experience when they curl up, they are trying to limit the amount of light thats hitting the leaf surface, so either raise light or decrease wattage.

I never thiught of that before. Nice hypothesis, ill have to remember that one. Thanks!
