Leaves Look Questionable?

wunluv999 · Feb 24, 2020

My seedlings have been doing great and they still seem to be fine, but this morning the edges of the first leaves are turning yellowish/crispy. Might be fine, just wanted to make sure. The temp has been staying 72-78 and 45-60% humidity. I have them on a 20/4 hour light schedule.

I think you will be fine. Over-mothering a plant can be bad for them. The plant is WAY to young to have any type of deficiencies or other issues. Let it grow fairly unmolested and you will do fine, or at least you should do fine as the sprout looks healthy. Patience is the hardest part... and go easy on feeding. It is a tiny plant and too much food isn't good for them!

yep!
they don’t need any food for a while yet, the seed contains enough for the first couple weeks basically.

Sweet, I figured all was well. And yeah I've been spraying it a couple times a day with a spray bottle. Barely any water though, just enough to keep the pellet moist.

What are your recommendations for feeding after those first couple weeks are over?

A lot depends on the growing medium and style that you are using. I grow in Promix and compost/manure and just use Jack's 20-20-20 after about 3-4 weeks, depending on size and if started from seed or clone. If you have pre fortified soil, like Fox Farms, then you probably won't need to feed them until flowering. I use tap water for minerals and don't really add anything else other than some wood ashes that I mixed into the Promix/manure mix. This just provides some buffering as well as major/minor nutrients.
As I said, I feed with Jack's 20-20-20, 1 tablespoon/gallon and feed about every 12 days or so. After you get to know your plants better, you will be able to judge when they are getting hungry just by their color and appearance. Good Luck!!

there’s lots of vegetative nutrients, you’ll have to pick one,
kinda depends on your growing medium? and how much work you have time for your plants? if your new keep it simple!

Thank you! My medium is homemade by a family member/grower of mine who swears it works. It's a mix of natural soil, bat guana, manure, and perlite. Idk much other than that, besides the Ph is between 6 and 7.

your good to go, this first month seems slow but what is growing is the roots, as it needs a foundation to start building on, so a wet/dry cycle is important, don’t keep it soaked, get used to picking it up you’ll know by how light it is.
airflow! containers needs holes in bottom and sides, or use fabric bags.
for nutrients just see what’s available to you in your area at stores.
