Looks like your lil' ladies have a good start, WT/SnS! It never fails to amaze me the rapid growth those lil' buggers will undergo. It won't be long, and you'll be puffin' on them! By the way, nice plug on the Procyon above - you're re-thinking the bumper sticker on the pot idea, eh?

[SnSstealth]

AAACK!!! so much for the good start...here we go again with the WTF...even put a pic of the medium for yall....look how LOW the nutes are....this soil cant be hot too....dont get it.....grrrrr

is it just me or are only some of those plants affected by this issue? just curious. some of those other little ones look great.

do you leave the lights on 24/7? when i grew mine i just set them to 18/6.. not sure if that would make a difference here.

Aloha, WT, and Mahalo.

I'm no expert, but I have been growing under 4 handhewn Led arrays for a while.
I'm also no diplomat so, I'll say up front that you guys are my heros. ;-}.
So please excuse my blunt style as I chip in 2 cents

There's two thing about the styrofoam cups that can give you grief. First, they are a little short for canna-lings.
The first thing a wet bean does is spike a 4" tap root. It curls up at the bottom of a 3" cup and never quite gets over it.
Then there's water retention. Bottom holes only drain when sitting on a porous surface, so we end up punching drain holes in the sides of the cup. That leaves a pool of stagnant water where the tap root is stuck.
If you use any nutes at all, even 1/4 strength, they concentrate
in the stagnant puddle and kick the PH out of range.
In your shoes, I'd get them in the soil right away, and cut the light way back.
Then I'd raise the light until they stretch, then hold it there and throw about 15Watts of blue on 'em to stop the stretch and keep the internodes tight.

Dey prolly gonna be alright. Jus' no love 'em too much.

Good luck.

WeeZard just blasted my mind with some serious insight into the 3" cup. Maybe you could use a cookie cooling rack to set larger cups on with holes poked into the bottom to allow drainage into your tray?

Back to the bathroom, then back to the movie....

[GreenDestiny]

Weezard does have a good point there... try what he said and transplant them into something deeper with better drainage.

I hope this batch can recover!

If not, just use taller cups next time with more drainage holes... and shoot for a 50/50 mix of perlite and plain potting soil.

good luck to your grow man.
