sphagnum moss experienced growers?

They label it as a super soil so it should be choc full of fertilizer and work well.

Oh okay ! Sounds good then
Btw I watered my plant today the soil was so dry when I stuck my finger in it, the fan is really helping playing a part with drying out the soil.

 

[Gregshed]

Fingers crossed it perks up then.

Hopefully ! My plugs came in today, so I set the timers from 11am-3am for 16 hours of lighting & 8 hours of dark. Should the fan be on at all times ? I meant to ask? I’ve been shutting it off/on when the light goes off/on

 

[Gregshed]

I don't think it matters but I run my exhaust 24 hours. If I shut of my exhaust I would get too much moisture build up in my tent but yours isn't going to do that so should be ok just for lights on. Most fans are so low wattage they don't cost anything to leave on.

Okay ! Yeah that’s like my regular room fan & it has different settings for higher blow settings works great

Plants don't need fans, the environment might.

We’ll it needs air flow right ? At least for the steam I heard which it is pretty sturdy & green !

 

[Gregshed]

No leaves can access air without wind, the heat from the leaf, light will all drive currents and the fan move it more.

Stems do not thicken from wind they thicken from bending which we don't do. It's a bit of a lie so ignore it, thick stems come from well grown plants needing lots of water transport.

If your wanting air to move more have the fan pointed away and it will mix the air in the room enough.

Got it ! The fan is pointing out the closet !
I noticed after I watered it an hour or so ago these leaves(bottom ones, not the little seedlings ones, the set after that) got lighter

The plant above was done in a 2 gal pot and pulled roughly a quarter of a pound...for reference here's a GDP auto in a 2.5 gallon pot (9" diameter, 8" height) and pulled close to half a pound. If you want to use a heavier soil and water less, a bigger pot won't go astray.

3 gallon is a pretty good all round size if you aren't vegging for more than three-five weeks.

Is that bud rot or light bleach on that cola?

I've never had transplant stress. Ever. If you leave a pot sized hole in the medium, it just slides in. Give it a water to runoff and all is good.

There's nothing to stress if your not some heavy handed goon. I worked at a nursery for years and would transplant hundreds of plants a day, totalling tens of thousands with zero issues, and usually the plants would show a burst of vigor over the following days, not a lack of vigor.

so it must not exist then. Well documented across agriculture but since you say you never encountered it I suppose its not real.

Hello, it looks as if the plant goes slightly N-deficient, maybe the soil isn't really high in nutrition...

Hello !! I think you might be right ! The soil is just your regular potting soil. Getting new soil soon !

 

[Gregshed]

Why I said a feed was on the cards especially if not repotting and after what seemed like a bit of overwatering.

Overwatering can cause deficiency easily. Guess you know what's what now.

I will have to wait until the next watering I just watered yesterday.Unless there’s one that doesn’t require watering

i have this stuff but idk if I can use it, it’s very low 1-1-1

 

[Gregshed]

It doesn't look like it will work well, what happened to that other fertilizer you had?

which one ? I have another one which is called “Fish shit” which a lot of growers seem to use, I have “noot”

 

[Gregshed]

I thought you had another, salt based or something in a packet style?

the only one I can think of that I have a packet style in is the miracle grow where it turns your water blue.

 

[Gregshed]

I suppose it will do for now but there's lots of better suggestions on the market. But for now you have watered and it will have to wait to dry out first.

Really you know all the basics, water, fertilizer, soil light and environment, the rest just practice.
