77-80 Degrees w/ 35% humidity. Possible heat problem?

I mix in 33% pertilite with my calloways. To be honest I'd prefer to start with good soil. And my roots aren't long enough to be entangled in all the soil.

I think it's good for me to take advantage now before it's too late.

I pulled the rapid rooter and the roots have grown outside of it but it's definitely not something that can't be managed. They're only about 1/4" - 1/2" long outside the rapid rooter. Still short and spunky and not entangled in the soil or with each other.

If I don't mind using another media, do you think this would be a better route than just using the calloways with even more pertilite.

I really want to do things "right". You know? More so I want to understand why things are "right". Which I am picking up, albeit slowly :(.

If only 3 of 14 are affected, I'd probably ride it out- if it is an overfert, they'll likely adapt as they grow. ( assuming they do grow).

My observations were more along the lines of " How does the math here work" than anything else.

Yer gonna stress all the plants if you transplant- it's inherent. Maybe add a week onto yer cycle. The same week of extra veg time will more than make up for any loss in yield from losing three of them- and you may lose more transplanting.

You can't finish up 14 plants in that cab anyway- you're way short on room.


So, at no real cost, you get a great learning experience, and some valuable lessons.

Some don't make it.

Start extras.

Don't kill the room to save one plant.

Once you wrap yer head around that, the whole thing becomes less stressful.

Oh I know. The reason for so many plants was because I was confident in my ability to kill living things basically. ROFL. That and I was estimating 50-60% males.

If I happened to end up with more than 5-6 plants I Was going to give them to friends or just toss the weaker ones in the trash.

My mindset going into this was "I know I'm going to mess up along the way and there will be casualties. I want to have enough plants to be able to have 1 plant make it through a full grow cycle so I can learn.".

I'm really weary of nuted soil because my last soil was nuted and it destroyed my plants. They didn't grow and overall looked really sad.

Thanks for the input. I may just go ahead and start germing 3 seeds and put them in the new soil you suggested. Just for as a comparison measurement.

If I see the plants starting to get bad though I'll probably go ahead and transplant them.

Thanks again for the input!!

I went to about 5 home depots, 3 lowes and a walmart before I finally found some promix today. I couldn't find sunshine or faffrds either.

I have to say, this stuff feels like friggin sex in my hand compared to the other soild I was using. It's so light and fluffy and sexy. I love it.
