Drainage issues

[John Doe]

Okai One of My plants is not getting enough drainage I believe... or... the 110 wats of floros Im using is not getting it enough light to consume water...
Personally I think its the soil... I didnt use anything because I had nothing... and at the time was broke.. I used just some.....WHOA I just read the bag... and I dont think Steer manure is any good for pot.... Fuck... No wonder its not draining does this make sense to any of you guys? the plant started in a 2 gallon pot from miracle gro soil I believe then I transplanted to this CRAP.... It has already gotten its white pistols... this was when it was outside the 3 or 4 days before I brought em inside... now.. My real question is,
Should I transplant and if so too what... Im sure th roots are already taking up alot of space in the manure by now.. I just bought some perlite today for my clones but still havnt bought my soil yet... any help is greatly apreciated

Ps the plant still looks very healthy.. especially since I have given it one feeding ofa very diluted seaweed extract... I just recently bought all my nutes... but it is always damp.. so i havnt really been able to water yet since ive gotten them

Get them into well drained big pots of good soil.

My guess is it's your light - 110 total? From what I can see your pots have drainage holes that should do the job. Your plants look like the under side of some of my plants that weren't getting enough light until I put lights down for the underside. If you want a decent yield, without them turning hermie, etc. get as much light on it that you can.

The clones in the picture were given to me... the big one is a very good strong plant I think it was that the manuer held the water in. I have 2 4 foot floros and 1 3 footer... now during veg can I throw my 400w HPS for like 12 hours along with my floros? I did it last night they seemed to like it.

you may have shocked them from when you origanally transplanted them from the 2 gallon pots.

JOHN DOE...

When you water, you should water thoroughly and then let them dry ALMOST as thoroughly....

If you do transplant, fill the bottom of your pot with 1/2 inch perlite and then use a 20/80% perlite/soil mixture..

It is very common for new gardeners to over water.. to much LOVE...

Perlite will help you out with this problem.. It is a small white porous rock that assists with drainage and aeration..

sometimes I stare at the plants so long and with such attention.. that I witness them as animated beings....

Knowm, lol ... Im a " sit-and-talk to the plants " guy, myself ... (they think Im crazy, but they enjoy the CO2 my yakking provides) ... :smokin:

No offense But im not really a "new gardener" persay... I was just to broke to give a damn.. and I know what perlite is I just picked up a nice big bag yesterday.the thing is.. its taking like a week or so to even try up...
Believe me though you are right about new gardeners overwatering
I sure learned the hard way with my 1st grow.. 2nd grow got stollen and now.. I decided Im not gonna take the risk of all my money and time getting put into my plants to have them get stolen.

John Doe, your plants look pretty good, considering ... straight steer manure should be too 'hot' for your plants, but fortunately, it breaks down slower than some other manures (chicken, etc) ... if you're not watering too often, (should be only every 2-3 days at that size) ... but maybe steer manure just holds water longer, dont know ... let it dry between waterings, and transplant into potting soil ... dont disturb the roots, and dont try to remove any steer manure from them, etc ... the flowering is triggered by hours of darkness, unless its a self-flowering strain like Lowryder ... :smokin:
