Seedling With Deformed Leaves

[shanti771]

Hi, can anyone help me please! One of my seedlings has deformed weird looking leaves. I germinated it and put it in some potting soil. I thought maybe a nutrient deficiency so gave it a 1/4 dose feeding of organic Grow with high nitrogen. Growing in my window sill, about 7 hrs of sunlight. Im new to growing, any advice or help would be much appreciated!!

What kind of soil and seed?

It’s a feminized moby dick
I used E.B. Stone organic potting soil

What kind of fertilizer does the soil have?

 

[Palmettoman]

I don’t believe that soil has much or any fertilizer in it. If not which I don’t see by looking it up I would transplant it into a different soil. Also it looks like it’s not getting enough light.

I think it’s fine. Just a little trouble with shedding the seed shell.

Thanx for replying!
I don’t think the soil has fertilizer in it.
Would watering it with liquid fertilizer do the job instead of replanting?
Light, yea I had it in a window getting only afternoon sun, moved it to more full sun once I realized one was getting leggy. 7-8hrs of sunlight should be enough right?

A liquid fertilizer will work. Just remember that Cannabis and other plants are different so just don’t use any liquid fertilizer. It’s very easy to give nutrient burn. Are you planning on growing indoors or putting outside?

You need much more light than that. Try giving it a t5 or even t8 till you can get something more

 

[shanti771]

I’m planning to grow outside. Do you think I need additional light till then? I guess I could put them outside now.
Fertilizer- how do you know what’s ok for cannabis? I have this one in the pic.

 

[shanti771]

And also this one

They should have a feed schedule on there website. BUT only give 1/4 to whatever they say mix. Seedling is young and will get nutrients burn easily. Yes you need more light if your not putting it outside right now

 

[REDiJEDi160]

Those are good nutes for cannabis and yes add light give it 18 hours on 6 off make it a strong bush then transplant it after the risk of frost is gone

 

[shanti771]

Really 18 hrs, it needs that much? It would only get like 9-10 at the most if it were outside

He’s saying to bring it back to where it needs to be strength wise before taking outside. The longer period of light the more time it has to recover. I would do 16hrs of light though. Just my personal opinion

 

[REDiJEDi160]

Well you will definitely need more than 12 to have a vegetative cycle 16 should be OK though but standard is 18/6for veg 12/12 for flower. What part of the world are you in? Let me rephrase is it going from winter to spring or summer to fall? Is that an autoflower or a regular photoperiod?

 

[shanti771]

Its not an autoflower, just a regular one.
Southern cali so its winter to spring.
About how much is a light set up gonna cost me? Have any reccomondations? I have only 4 plants.
I would rather not buy one if I don't have to.

 

[Palmettoman]

Well it depends on how long there gonna be inside, how much of an area you have to put them on and so forth. If not gonna be inside long go to Lowe’s and get some t8 light with 9500k bulb. If it’s gonna be a month or so I would suggest ordering a 300w minimum led light, 450w would be better.

 

[shanti771]

Ok, I put them outside for now till I get something set up.
Thanx so much for helping me!!
