1/2 inch being dry is nothing. There is probably so much moisture built up at the bottom.

If you let it dry out you won’t kill your plants. When they get dry just add water and they bounce back.

Great, ty ! BTW- how do u tell when its Over/Under Watered ?

I got a 5 G Fab. pot yesterday, when should i transplant?

Is the "RAW amino acids" should be added to the distilled water w/ out nutes for next time (a tip from the dude at the Hydro. store)??

Let the soil dry out. And then transplant. Maybe 4-5 days.

Your leaves are dropping downward. They are puffy. Therefore over watered. Just because the top layer is dry does not mean the bottom is. Soil can dry out for a bit before a plant dies. Takes a bit of time with very dry soil and no moisture for one to die. By then you can add water and they come back

They look over watered still. Colouring seems fine for nutrients. Let the plant chill.

I suggest transplanting into 5gallon fabric pots. Gonna cure your over watering issue for sure.

And it also lets the soil dry from the outside and bottom, not just the top, so it allows you to feed more often, reduces the chance of mold or rot, etc. Fabric pot is a win win.

Also this is a second opinion for going straight to a 5 gallon pot. My reasoning is that when you transplant, you shock the plant, hinder growth, and take the chance of doing damage. If you go with a larger pot, just water around the outside of the plant, like in a circle just past where the plant stretches to. This will keep the roots 'chasing' the water and help it get acclimatized faster. You shouldn't have to even soak the pot until about the 4th week of veg.

Slow and small waterings after transplant. I agree.

If it looks droopy, the leaves are heavy with water and trying to transpire it. Even well established healthy plants will droop a little if they have been allowed to dry, then are watered.

Transplant yesterday!!! LOL just be careful. the soil is wet, so whatever rootball there is should stick together.

Don't know about the "RAW" stuff, but the dude sold it to you, so he did his job. Might be great stuff, but that would mean adding more water - which you don't need. Save it for next feeding.

Also, transplanting now will help the plant dry out quicker, rather than sitting in the mud it is in now.

If you were able to be patient and have your seedling take off to make it to that stage you know what you are doing. You are over thinking it. And you are in your garden way too much than what you need to be.

The puffiness in the leaves says over watered .
When underwatered they will droop and the first time you see that you prob think you just killed them .
But water them and thet will perk back up .These last few guys seem to have you going in the right direction .

Appreciate it brother...
I have got paranoid and erased most of my pics from my phone or computer of some of my grows over the years...
I wish i had them still cause u would really love when i used to grow in coco dtw
With 2 1000w hps in hoods with a 500 watt led inbetween in a 4x8 tent.
Some of my best grows..
I got a $1400 Current culture UC6 that grows monster plants esp if you got the height to put a gavita de over it...
Got a $400 chiller for it...
Ph controllers .
24 pot ebb and flow
4x4 flood table .
I have tried every type of growing there is besides fogponics...
But after a few yrs im bored of growing, and just grow once a year now just to put a few elbows in the fridge for my personal..
Now im about learning to stay alive a few more years, eating right, and keeping the body ticking along at 50 like im still 20..
And beleive it or not, and the rich dont talk about it, but hgh, other peptides, can perk the metabolism up and keep the testosterone pumping...
Sorry i digress...
There is so many things in life that the rich try to keep from us..
Like the knowledge to grow our own medicine!
So they can sell us pills, and then more pills to get off them pills....
Information is freedom...
