dude i just sent u a text....
katrina looks good to be honest i had my doubts if she would re-veg
they other ones look slightly lacking on nitrogen (bottom leaves are
turning yellow young) now u can get them nutes if u stopped if not u
should be about to use full strength
I'm suprised no ones mentioned the droop in your plants even though you mentioned you were having problems with 2.Quote:

Anyone else see what I'm seeing?
Almost all your pics show water pooling on the top of the soil. Do you have drain holes in those cups? If not get some asap.
so there for your first grow u get to start with a confirmed female
he does have drooping and the reason i didn't say anything is
because some plants after watering droop because the water weight
has gone up also he has this prob that he sticks in the ground that
tells him if its wet enough....
but ur right i was going to say something as well but i remembered
he had that
also check ur run off PH too not saying there any anything wrong its just
nice to know what its at
how much perlite do u mix in with ur soil? or is it premade?
i do mine around 50 50
Do you know if it's one of the analog kind you get at home depot or if it's one of the professional digital/electronic ones that cost a couple of hundred bucks?Quote:

Hopefully that's all that's wrong here. Overwatering can cause droop and yellowing in leaves.
Either way I'm sure they'll make it until it's time to transplant. When you go to tranplant try adding 20-30% perlite to your soil for better drainage and aeration. It'll help keep your plants alive and perky. :thumbsup:
The reason that the pictures are showing the water pooling on the top is because every time that I have taken pictures I have watered right before. I'm spraying the leaves with a solution called "spray and grow", it seems like it is helping lots. And yes there are 4 small drain holes and gravel at the bottoms of the cups.Quote:

Yes the moisture meter is one of the cheap ones I got it for about $20, but it seems to be working great. About every 2 to 3 days the plants are dry and need to be watered. When the meter is put into a cup of water it goes to the far right side (10).Quote:

I threw out one of the plants that was having problems today. It was not going to make it :(. On the other one that was struggling there has been lots of growth overnight. I have also noticed that one of the leaves on Katrina is starting to turn a brownish color around the outside edge of the leaf. Does anyone know what this could be? Maybe a potassium deficiency?
Temp.= 64.7
Humid.=54%
PPM=650 (Should I up this to fix the Nitrogen problem?)
go to caloways call me if u want to know where its at
ask them about the nitrogen say its a tomato plant they
will have something for it upping it wont fix the nitrogen
transplant the one that hangs out side the cup that might
(not saying it will) help with the yellowing of those leaves
could be root bound
but other then that they are growing at a good rate
When should be a good time to transplant? And what size of a pot should I transplant to for the rest of growth? Does anybody know of any good fertilizers that are high in nitrogen?
how big do you plan on letting them get? that should help decide what size pot to go with. but you dont want a pot thats too big or you can hurt the growth of them. but also a pot thats too small and case the roots to "cramp" which isnt good either.
im a newb maybe stinky or someone can help you better
1 gallon per foot of plant height is the rule of thumb i believe
