need help

[SmokeMyPiece]

Whoa, advice is all over the place.. Stick with Pushit and Rusty.

From seed, In one 16oz cup, nuteless soil: Between 2-3weeks:
-I usually get to about 6-7 nodes on a SINGLE 1/2str N feed. and just plain water for all other waterings.
--I dont feed again till after the transplant.

But like said before, they'll be fine in the bigger pots.

another thing i wonder is if i go to the store and get this water that has first goes through a advanced carbon filter then micro filter then first ultraviolet light and then reveres osmosis then another carbon filter and a second ultraviolet light would this be ok or am i fine just using my tap water and then letting it stand 24 hours to rid chlorine and get to room temp?

I prefer tap water myself. Phd at 6.5ish. Room temp. Its has micronutes and its cheap.:thumbsup:

*if you have a water-softener(you would know), get from outside faucet.

Looking at your pix...I would take a fork and gently scoop under the rootball...and carefully transplant into a smaller (1 cup...?) prepared container. The larger the pot, the longer it will retain water, (especially if in moisture control formula's) which makes it virtually impossible for a newbie to gauge when to water and how much. Cannabis prefers a wet-dry cycle. Keeping the soil wet is bad for the roots and will eventually cause issues. Do yourself (and your plant) a favor and follow direction. Were there any acceptable options, we would have offered 'em to ya already.

Doubtful the problem is with the seeds. More than likely it's your "helicopter dad" approiach. (hovering and babying the babies to death) Keep in mind that in plant biology, virtually nothing good happens overnight. Patience.

Are you talking about getting your water from a kiosk? Unless you get it right after brand new filters installed...all you're buying is tap water run through potentially clogged/ineffective filters. A waste of time, effort and money. I recommend tap water unless you've killed plants with it already. But ph issues aside, usually if it's ok to drink, it should be good enough for the ladies.

thanks rusty i will try to move one into a smaller pot and see what happens i appreciate your help very much ....... if i leave one in the pot do you think eventually it will grow like it should ? i bought theys seeds online dont want to waste them they were expensive and where they are feminised seeds will transplanting them turn them male?
