[Case]

Hey guys, been lurking for a bit and decided what the hell, might as well sign up and join y'all

Anyways, I've got 3 autos currently going. 1 ghost train Haze and 2 strawberry99. I started in solo cups and got told I probably Stunted them before transferring to my 5gals. Very first feeding of 1/3 fox farm big bloom, using fox farms ocean foredt soil. Anyways, do these look alright to you all? Any tips or reccomendarecom from anybody? (I think the GTH is already flowering? Mid week 4)

On my end it appears the pics didn't attach.. so here they are. Apologies if it double posted.

I suggest using a medium that doesnt have amendments like ocean forest top dress them during later growth when they are stronger. Amended soils can be too hot for seedlings. But they look good im guessing week 2 ish?also plant them in their final pots from the start, 5 gallons max. Also they are at a good size to tie it down to produce a thicker even canopy.

The 2 Strawberry99 are end of week 3. I think I over watered them before transplant and stunted them a bit. They seem to work be really happy with the new pots tho.
What soil do you recommend? I chose this based on popularity, really.

Hey guys been trying to find a forum to ask I got some seed starter mix that was covered up and hid under some stuff bags sealed and all good some worms found their way in it is all I put thin layer over my ffof this should be ok it's American seed Starter mix it looks good black and full of perlite and stuff will this be ok

The last pic looks good. Ocean Forest is a hot soil and no nutes are needed for 3-4 weeks. I grew Ocean Forest/perlite 50/50 for a long time and it was fine. These days I use Coco Loco and rice hulls. Take a look at Coco Loco, maybe it's something you might want to try down the road.

With Ocean Forest, you want the pot to dry well before watering. Get use to lifting the pot with thumb and index finger and how it weighs between watering. You will learn soon enough when water again.

@AutoWonders do you like coco loco? I hear a lot of people using OF, but I am using coco loco for my 2nd plant on my first grow.

I like Coco Loco a lot. Are you adding perlite or like product?

Yes, I added a bit of perlite to the mix.
