My Soil Mix: Any objections before transplanting commences?
Well they are in now! They were started in 4 or 3 inch pots. Started w/ seed starter mix (bad idea) composed of ... well... peat moss?? and a little limestone to balance Ph. I think there was some vermiculite as well. Anyway, that stuff would get soaked and then dry out entirely in 12 hours (and I do mean entirely dry). I hate to shock the plants w/ a soil change and only for an extra 2" on the pot size, but I think they needed it. The ones that were doing the best and worst were slightly rootbound. The worst 2 are big, but dying. As a person that has read a few books on organic gardening, has done a little bit of actual gardening, and has read way too much about growing pot online, I would say the plants that were rootbound were suffering from nitrogen deficiency and someone else suggested perhaps overwatering. In reality, though, I am a huge amateur. This is my first cannabis grow.
I started a single bag seed plant that did not do that well, but whos difficulties lied entirely in stunted growth and not any really serious problems. Yes, that plant went out to the country side and a few days ago, I believe it was eaten by a deer... or something.
