I gave mine 1/2 dose yesterday in a new pot of soil. They look ok this morning. I’m a bit impatient too Fogey

That is my understanding too. A little tip burn means to back off a touch.
I always look for a little turn and burn to know if I'm feeding enough.

I ruined my ruse with Mrs Fogey. I showed her my plants and asked her what they were. She said they were marigolds and asked if I still had more seeds. Me chuckling didn’t help and she caught on. At least when they start stinking up the yard she won’t think she has reverse Covid and that it made her sense of smell super keen…
It's just a beginner thing. They feel like they need to "do something" all the time. Tiny sprout keels over drowned, and they apply everything the grow store sells in effort to revive it.
Pretty soon you notice if you leave them alone and follow sane nute/dirt/light protocol, your yield goes up.

I basically do as you describe when I use dirt, but just the very tippy tip. Much more and a bit o' burn may be coming. I have always found better results slightly under feeding (relative to instructions) than over feeding.
WHOOPS! Responding to hippie in post #119

No. I put them out in the yard but on a squirrel freeway. Dumb move on my part. It was a nice sunny spot in the early morning…
I hope it doesn’t slow down their growth
anything slower on these plants would be backing up…

Judging by the root on the one that got de-potted, the roots are not very vigorous. Mine are about 16 days from sowing the seeds. I fed them some epsom salt, molasses and micro nutes yesterday. They ain’t dead yet…I hope it doesn’t slow down their growth
My thin roots got disturbed when I transplanted them. Didn’t seem to bother them. They are growing fast as ever

I thought you were legal for 6 plants , does the wife not want you growing weed?

We dan grow 6 plants per person but a maximum of 12 per household. My wife just doesn’t want the yard stinking like pot again or to feel weird if someone comes over to visit and sees cannabis trees. Add that to the fact that I already have so much excess bud laying around that it doesn’t really make sense to grow more. She lets me do what I want to but I know her feelings on growing and try to find a peaceful medium. She knows I enjoy growing so she doesn’t brow beat me about it. She accepts it. If Massachsetts wasn’t so caught up in controlling cannabis growing, I could justify it to both her and myself. I can’t legally sell it so I don’t.
Hey I think they look bigger

They are. I need to go to my local hardware store tomorrow anyway and am planning on picking up something with mycorrhizae fungi in it as I read that helps with root development. The ‘Unhappy Frog’ soil I have is supposed to have mycorrhizae fungi but I want to supplement the soil to encourage root growth. I know Pro Mix is good for that but a bale is like $70 and I am a cheap old fart…
I can’t get the pro mix around here
