Hello, first time grower here, watched many videos and read many guides, but on my first try I think my seedlings (2-3 days in) got stunted. And I have few theories as of why, but not sure. Want to find out more before placing 2nd batch of seeds in.
I will try to describe my situation as best I can. I germinated my seeds with a wet paper towel method between 2 plates on a heat pad. Everything went smoothly and all seeds had a 1/4" tap root within 2 or 3 days. Then I planted them into 3" paper containers with FoxFarms Ocean Forest potting soil with extra perlite mixed in. UP until this point everything was fine. I had pots covered with plastic bags (see picture) and plants shoot up, again, fairly quickly (I want to say 2 days, maybe less). I did not remove plastic bags right away, maybe 24hrs after they sprouted (I noticed something wasn't right at that point), so I removed plastic bags (pots were still on a heating pad), then a day later I turned off heating pad. I also ran my 100W led light 24/7 during sprouting, later switched to 18/6.
Those are basically all the steps I took, maybe you see something wrong in this chain of action, or maybe you can tell me something from the pictures. I am afraid to plant new seeds, since they are quite expensive without knowing what I did wrong. Seeds were feminized photoperiod Blueberry OG and feminized photoperiod Critical Kush.
Anyway after very quick progress in the first few days it seems that they stopped growing. And I think leaves do not look healthy. I also add a log of my temp and humidity.
Thank You.
sorry for the focused background in pictures lol
