if someone knows other threads or some has some info please let me know. much appreciated.. :)
please feel free to chime in if you notice something strange about the plants..
oh here are some pics.. How do these look for being planted July 28?
the last pic to the end.. you think this one will survive? I burned it using a Spot-Gro light bulb..
sorry not the last pic to the right, but the smallest plant you see there and the only burned one.. but speaking of the last pic.. is it normal for a plant that looks and stands healthy not to be so healthy? It has a yellowish tint to it..
much better than that other dude i was looking at with the stretching plants those look terrible yours look good for the couple days they have been alive ha ha keep it growing
i think thats the light with the last pic and the yellowing
i assume im the other guy with the stretched out plants lol of the pics ive seen of younger ones im not sure why im are so long but oh well first attempt
All your plants look fine and healthy. Except the 4th one, it looks a little toasted ;). The third picture just looks yellow, I don't think it is. Light green perhaps?
Anyways...I wouldn't transplant quite yet. You want to wait till your plants have a strong enough root system to you can just pull the whole dirt clump out, in one peice, roots and all. The best time to do this is about 2-3 weeks into growth. Wait until they have about 4 sets of leaves on them. Let the soil dry out, then take a butter knife, go all around the inside edge of the cup, carefully, then gently, VERY gently, pull up on the plants stem and the whole dirt clump, roots and all, should come out in one peice. Keeping it all in one peice is very important, it is less stress on the plant. The soil MUST be dry, and if it doesn't come loose after lossening it up, then don't force it. Wait a few more days or so and try again.
That's what I do anyways and my plant goes through little to no shock. Recovers in just a few days. Hope this helps. good luck!
