One thing that I've noticed is that on the Fifth plant the bottom fan leaves appear to be dying, should I be concerned about that?Looking good so far, about where they should be in 2 weeks.
I'm growing organic all the way so any tips I could get from organic growers would be much appreciated.hmm im not really sure man, i'll leave that up to one of the experts
You need food..organic gardening doesn't mean you don't do nothing..that's seed starter soil you're using, that doest have any nutritional value for the plants..for example, fox farm ocean Forrest is loaded with shit some even consider it hot..but In 4 weeks you're still going to have to feed it.. it's not enough. Organic farmers that cook their own soil amend it they add many things to it so it can last the full grow..they feed it teas made out of the stuff they put into the soil..they use bigger pots so the soil can hold enough nutrients to supply it with enough food to survive.. The teas are to help it along.. If you're so into organics buy a bottled nutrient that is all organic...you won't get far starving your plant.. edit.. just looked at your pics they already look a little hungry eventually/very soon your plants are going to start taking whatever nutrients they can from themselves Like the 5th plant.I'm growing organic all the way so any tips I could get from organic growers would be much appreciated.
Follow the instructions on the back..I got this stuff the last time I was at the hydro store, I was instructed to use it after transplant but I think I may try using some now and see if that helps. I have to figure out the formula for how much to add though.
I hear that, issue is that I have no idea of the actual size of my plant pots.Follow the instructions on the back..
How long is a while?if you see a deficiency it takes a while to recover using organic only nutrients.
You need to read up! It is worth it! Certain organics will work faster than others but it depends on the current soil life/temps/rh% ect.. I know fish emulsion breaks down within a day or two. Bone meal will take a month +/- for it to actually break down into a fully available source, it doea give the soil a little at a time right away though. Blood meal works in a few days but takes about a week to break down in your soil. It really matters on environment and soil ratios ect. Gotta read and scour the internet! You will be left with a tasty ass product.How long is a while?
Honestly since I've started into this I've been fed a huge wealth of information and sorting though it all in my head and trying to find what's right for me, it's all quite stressful. It would not surprise me if my blood pressure has gone up a bit since getting into this. So the idea of going through another plethora of information does not excite me right now. I posted a picture above of what I'm using and it actually contains a handful of the things that you mentioned and a bunch more that you didn't.You need to read up! It is worth it!

Just read it when you can. He didn't order you to do anything lol.Honestly since I've started into this I've been fed a huge wealth of information and sorting though it all in my head and trying to find what's right for me, it's all quite stressful.

There is alot more then what i listed. What im saying though is growing with organics takes experience. My first grow was not organic and it came out perfect literally! My organic grow i have had panics left and right! Even lost all fan leaves before harvest and i mean all! An easier route for beginners is buying fox farms ocean forest, and adding organic compounds to feed the plant throughout its veg life, then your gonna have to start changing the npk ratios for bloom BEFORE you flip to flower. Usually 12-15 days. I never had to add anythinf in ffof for veg except epsom here and there. In flower though, i had mad phosphorus deficiency followed by nitrogen deficiency. And by the time i got it to fix itself it was too late.Honestly since I've started into this I've been fed a huge wealth of information and sorting though it all in my head and trying to find what's right for me, it's all quite stressful.

That is a decent organic fert. I wouldn't add anything though until you transplant after the cotyledons fall off. Your seedling kit is peat lime based meaning it can buffer and feed a tiny but of nutes to your seedlings kind of like a soft ocean forest.I got this stuff the last time I was at the hydro store, I was instructed to use it after transplant but I think I may try using some now and see if that helps.

Ok, that's helpful but if I'm not going to add any until after transplant then is there anything that I can do to help with the brown spotting on the one plant or the bottom fan leaves dying on the other?That is a decent organic fert.
