I gave them a light watering this morning...they are looking no better, maybe even worst.
I'm not far away from ditching these dirt dwelling dwarfs

Yeah, she surrounded rather tight, I have a good fan underneath blowing up cool air so she seems to be okayHoly hell does that one plant have room to breathe?
Looking good man.

The hempy seems to be doing a fair bit better than the dirt dwellers, may need to transplant these dwarfs fairly soon.

yes, I'm pleased with the hempy....but the dirt devils are not doing so well at all...they seem to be way behind my first grow in soil

transplanted the best 2 ...going to transplant the third into a larger pot to live in the living room with sunlight only....pouring rain today so I'll wait a bit.

It's my understanding, when running side-by-side hydro/soil-less (I assume that's what hempy is?) vs soil....soil always lags behind. The trade off most people seem to say is that soil-grown will taste better.

yeah, hempy is the most simplistic form of hydro, a 2L pop bottle filled with 3 parts perlite and 1 part vermiculite, with a side drain hole about 3 inches up.
I'm not sure about taste but I think hydro typically does grow faster than soil...... but I'm no expert

yesterday afternoon turned really nice and sunny, so I transplanted the third plant into a large pot, today is sunny as well.
I gave the hempy a topping/FIM

What potting soil did you use ? I started using black gold from an ace hardware in 3 in peat pots. Once the roots started growing thru the bottom I moved in to 1 liter containers with my garden soil mix. Eventually these will go out to the woods 
in a couple or three weeks.

I just used this generic "Dutch Treat" potting soil from a local garden store, as I had used it last year for my indoor/sunlight grow and it worked well.What potting soil did you use ?

I will likely try the hempy approach for this year's indoor/sunshine grow but will use a larger container, maybe a 3 gallon bucket
