Coco is pre buffered as far as I know, its ecothrive charge lite which seems to have good reviews but it's the first time I've used it.Hi mate..was the coco pre buffered and what was the ec or ppm of the coco when you fertigated it prior to potting up..those yellowing or marks could b calcium but im only guessing..if the coco wasnt buffered then maybe thats it .it does look like overwatering with the droopy leaves..id like you to start in way smaller pots so you can fertigate them and control the watering much easier pretty much soon as they pop up..
What are your parameters in room, temp etc
Sounds like a good method might give it a go next time :) coco looks good too but I'm sure all of them are pretty similar these days so maybe I just over watered them and they showed some wierd symptoms or something.Oh no..i def wouldnt start again..i use small square punnets and i grab a spare one and cut it in half and the bottom off.tap seedling out of punnet and place it in the half punnet so its easier to transplant into a bigger pot..im in australia bud and just use pre buffered cyco lite.i actually run rain water through till it reads 200ec as thats all whats required for begining the seeds,seedlings in..once up in three days or so i will mix up 90-100ppm and fertigate them just so the bottoms moist .my tiny punnets i use dry resonably quickly and dont get issues with overwatering..thats just what i do and works really well.
Light is hung according to manufacturers instructions as I dont have a par meter and I always take it easy in the first week with watering. Any help appreciated.Every time i see a seedling thread i know the answer before i even click it. And its one of 2 things
How close is your light?
Did you saturates the media?
And what are manufacturers instructions say?Light is hung according to manufacturers instructions as I dont have a par meter and I always take it easy in the first week with watering. Any help appreciated.
Manufacturers say 24 inches at 300w but I've dimmed it to 150 watts and lowered it to 45cm which should be somewhere around 300-500 ppfd according to a par test I found at coco for cannabis.And what are manufacturers instructions say?

Yeah way to much light for a seedling.
300-500par is for a full on vegging plant. Try like 100 par
I started at 25% dimmed and slowly worked my way up as the seedlings were stretching, plus the seedling directly in the middle seems the healthiest which wouldjt be the case if it was the lights surely as it's getting the most par?Yeah way to much light for a seedling.

Watering but its your light thats the issue how could you slowly work up on a tony seedling?Manufacturers say 24 inches at 300w but I've dimmed it to 150 watts and lowered it to 45cm which should be somewhere around 300-500 ppfd according to a par test I found at coco for cannabis.
Its weird though they have changed the original hanging distances that I saw on their sites now it doesnt mention dimming

In your first post you said you know what it is without looking but If it's not the light what is the other suggestion?
I
hah just know your knowledge doesn't fall on deaf ears. Because of you I know how to use my light in seedling stage this growWatering but its your light thats the issue how could you slowly work up on a tony seedling?
Up to you wether you wanna take my advice or listen to a manufacture that says 3-500 ppfd is ok for a seedling.
Its NOT stretching and its NOT light intensity that causes stretch!!!! Its spectrum that does.
Your reasoning makes no sense about the light.
Lol i think i need a break for a few days… i feel like a broken record…. See yall in a few days
I had the light super dimmed and it looked like they were beginning to stretch so I turned the light up... these are 11 days old now so that's what I meant when I said I worked my way up, but its difficult without a par meter.Watering but its your light thats the issue how could you slowly work up on a tony seedling?

You got it buddy.I had the light super dimmed and it looked like they were beginning to stretch so I turned the light up... these are 11 days old now so that's what I meant when I said I worked my way up, but its difficult without a par meter.
Also maybe you should take a break.... no need to be a helmet I'm only asking for advice.
I agree with Aqua, I'm not seeing stretching there. Also, the cotyledons look perfect from the pics posted, so they are not starving or anything like that.
I would definitely try to get the PAR down a bit and let them recover.
You mention possible overwatering, that can contribute. Please take a look at this
HOW TO WATER COCO FOR BEST RESULTS.
Ok writing this cause i see this issue often and rather have a thread to link than explain this each time. This is not my work but a collection of info from many members here and I have put into practice myself. So first off COCO is NOT soil. For best results we want to keep it saturated...www.thcfarmer.com
It's hard to see from the pictures but they are quite leggy... but thank you for the link I will check it now. I think it was a case of not enough light at the start which made me then use too much light and then overwater at the same time :( this is the first time I've used leds so it's a bit of a learning curve but that's for the help :)
also a good fan will help keep it short as it focuses on stem strength to combat the windYou need blue leaning in seedling stage to prevent legginess. Your led may not provide the right spectrum and you overcorrect and turn it up and burn the seedlings.
T5 fluorescent is still the best for seedlings for this very reason.
Piling dirt up like you did is a viable option.
