Skywalker grow day 1

day 31, no fert given yet but they seem to ok without it for now...i am thinking about it though, maybe in a few days...

Hey, Babystarbud...

Well, those things sure came back from the dead! :) Glad you got 'em goin' again. They look a bit droopy, though. Sure they aren't being overwatered? Maybe some heat stress? I'd even venture to say that they look a bit stunted. I know they had a rough beginning, and that could be the reason, but I'd almost want to say I'd try to put some light ferts on them at this point. I'm not a soil expert, but just by how the plant looks, it doesn't look happy (well, they).

Well, good luck. Keep us posted, man!

thanks for the comments, yes i think they were put back a few weeks by earlier problems, temps are good so i think the soil mix i did maybe not ideal, i thing i put to much vermiculite in, and also, while the soil itself is ok, the texture i dont think is good, it goes muddy when its wet...im not sure if its worth re-potting...think ill just see how it goes

So it is possible overwatering...related...

I think it IS worth re-potting. Your plants are not so big that it is almost time to harvest or anything. You've got a long ways to go. It'd make it easier on ya. Good soil is worth it weight in gold, from what I hear. I'm sure it can 'survive' in that sandy slush, but it's not ideal. And isn't 'ideal' what we strive for here?

yup, some good points, green frog, thanks:)
there was only one plant, the "runt" of the litter that was suffering, ive now r-potted it, with the same mix, and is showing good growth.

im guessing thats the same plant that i kinda "zoned out with" before potting, because i was really mixing the soil up in the pot when it was very wet,
( i was stoned at the time_) ;)
and enjoying the texture in my fingers, i guess i must have pressed all the air out in the process and turned the medium into a solid lump of mud, once dried...oh well, live and learn!!


now for the update, im really pleased with progress, i fed them for the first time about 24 hours ago, i used somwhere between 1/8th and 1/4 stregnth liquid baby bio 10.6--1.9--1.4, and so far doing great, more vigarous growth, and lots of strong looking secondary branches, i guess with skywalker being an indica dominant, this is to be expected...but it looks great:dance:

but i guess if they are gonna burn, it wont show for a few days yet....
heres hoping they wont!!

the main problem with the soil is that it really "holds" the water, i think ill cut out the vermiculite almost totally with my next grow, or at least down to about 10%

nice

thanks! im kinda flying blind because its only my second real grow,
they are slow starters but hopefully will bloom into beutiful butterflires lol

i like what i see.... lol they are looking great! keep up the good work! as for nutes i say they should be ready for a weak feeding... unfortunately i think your out of luck if you want them to turn into butterflies but... you can hope, i guess lol - good luck...:)

thanks abbatoir :) theyve had a 1/4 stregnth feed of 10.6-1.9-1.4 and it seems to have gone down well, if all remains good i may up it to 1/2 or 3/4 stregnth in a couple of waterings time....
