Ok if I do that, since I am not amending the soil at all will I need to be more ontop of feeding?
And when should I start the stunted ones on nutes and I am guessing the newly germed seedlings get some at roughly 21 days out of the ground?
And although I sort of prefer to go organic as much as possible, I don't mind using OC nutes.
I know there are a zillion brands to choose from, but what would be the best "idiotproof" nutes to go with?

Alrighty then. I decided to go ahead and replant 2 of the original grow batch into new un-amended organic soil.
"Ladybug brand-Vortex" -company description is organic compost, mineral sand, expanded shale, perlite, & Biozome.
I picked the Lowryder mint which is pretty close to dead and the micromini White Jem which has lifted her skirt and shown me that she as her lovely lady parts.
The Auto Assasin and the Lowberry are on there own to either live or die in the soil they are in as I wanted some comparison to see if replanting the others really did any good or not.
Keep in mind I left the tranplanted plants in their party cups ala the tiered grow method. The party cups have no nutes added.
Their were some feeder roots in the amended soil but not a whole bunch, some of them broke off as I transplnated them but not a bunch.
I have also tiered a 60DayWonder and a new Lowberry that have been above ground for roughly 7 days into the same un-amended organic soil mix. Those were started in the party cups with Thompson & Morgan Seed Starter as the medium.
SO, my question is, since the soil has no nutritional amendments, How soon & how often should I give nutes?
I know I should go very light when I start. But when should I start?
I am guessing on the newly hatched 2 I need two wait at least another week may be two.
And with the stunted plants ????

LB vortex sounds like a good choice gtron... the side by side will be interesting. I'd continue feeding only pH'ed water for a week or so just to be sure they're in the clear. A loss of any leaf curl will indicate this. I've always found seaweed/algae extracts such as the bio-canna Rhizotonic (0.6/0.2/0.6) in the absence of fertilizers as a good rooting stimulant for transplanted/re-potted or badly developed/shocked plants... If they are still showing signs of lock out then an alternative way for the plants to obtain the tonic is through the stomata by foliar feeding at lights out

Pretty Embarrassing.
There is still no change that I can see in the recently transplanted Lowberry or WhiteJem.
The last of the LowRyder Mint appears to be dead I willl give it another day to show anything.
The Auto Assasin now has pistils that are longer than her leaves! LOL! Should give her some flowering nutes now?

These things usually take some time.. I tend to give at least 4-5 days for any changes to take effect.. could be a least a week or so before you see any noticeable responses. Have you any new beans on the crack?

Trifid,
I do have new beans going.
I started a new thread for them because the variables on the first attempt were so diverse that I think it is pretty hard to nail down for sure what the issue was. My suspicion is that the rain dousing they got in their first week out of the ground set the stage for a series of setbacks. I live on the beach basically. When it rains here, if it is moving in from the gulf, it has often picked up some salt. And run off from the roof or building definitely has salt in it as it coats everything here. Those plants got a big dose of it.
I will devote this thread to the resulting effort until the plants are dead or "harvested" ( not sure I can count a half a bong hit as a harvest but i might be surprised by what I get in the end)
The new bean thread is http://www.autoflower.org/f44/secon...-continuous-until-succesful-harvest-4546.html
I feel like the variables are much tighter, and hopefully any issues with them will be able to be resolved more readily and before I have stunted or killed them.
