[coyg74]

As you can see it is still moist
I havent watered since the third, when i transplanted.
Iknow their is plenty of perlite in soil you can see it prodominetly on top of the soil, its damn near a hydro mix with earthworm castings

Have some plants indoor in soil they are about 5-6 weeks old. Messed up and put them in outdoor potting soil and added some vermiculite. (not able to get ocean forest soil in my area) plus it cost too much to ship a couple bags here. Recently bought Fox Farms Trio Ferts for some type of nutes. Just really started feeding them yesterday. Tried to hold of on watering because i Rating: 5

OK, I think if you water with nice PH 6.5-6.7 adjusted water you can water it now. From the look of the plant I think it needs it more than us wanting to dry out the roots.
It should perk up tonight.

ill wTER IN MORN, do i want to use water with nutes, or without.

[eastbaygordo]

no nutes

no nutes and do it quietly, thoes plants have had enough stress..plants like a firm schedule of H2O, light, food ext...consiter them in a hostpital. recovery time. no nutes just water untill signs of a new look on life. the last thing you want is stress. im shure you know that, its just a reminder.

by the way i got one of them meeters for P.H. and it is garbage, dont know about the moisture one but i have only read horrible reviews about the P.H. pen and i only agree with them. its all i got so i use it but i dont trust it. agean i dont know about the moisture one?!?

best of luck, my fingers are crossed

just watered with no nutes, used white vinegar to bring my tap water to a ph of 6.33. The water set for 24 hours or so.Checked runoff and it seemed to be good with the ph at 6.6 so i think we might be alright.
Did not drown it this time. just enough to get a runoff, which was alot faster and less water since i transplanted.(perlite def made soil lighter)

We have to learn to be patient.

Thanks for everyones help, still learning this stuff, was getting frustrated.

[coyg74]
