So its my second grow and I started 36 seedlings in a incubator from wal-mart, all 36 sprouted so I moved 15 of them to pots with a 50/50 mix of potting soil and vermiculite that’s all I had room for in my container that I use to keep my lil garden in to protect the flooring of my grow room. So on may 5[SUP]th[/SUP] I moved them.


Then 10 days later I moved 6 plants from the incubator which I was still caring for the seedlings to this point, 3 in one pot and 3 in the other pot, 2 pots 6 plants. One kiddie pool one submersible pump and a few feet of nylon rope later I got this. (photo #1)Taken may 22nd one week after I started the 6 in the kiddie pool I deleted my pics of first week after the transplant.


Ok the original 15 transferred on the 5[SUP]th of may[/SUP]

The six transferred on the 15[SUP]th of may[/SUP]

Earliest pic was taken the 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] [SUP]of may [/SUP]

 
So in picture #1, one week after I started the 6 in the pool, which was 10 days after the original 15, at this one week mark the 6 have already caught up to the original 15.

Picture # 2 was taken May 29[SUP]th[/SUP] seven days after pic # 1, at this point the six have completely surpassed the original 15.
Picture # 3 & # 4 are the seven day pics of the stem of one of the 6 plants in the wick system.taken the 22nd and then on the 29th.

The wick system is self watering, I have not watered them other than a foliar feeding twice which the 15 original received also. Same nutes, same potting mixture, the only thing different is the original 15 are hand watered twice a week when my moisture meter reads dry enough.
