My seeds show very slow growth.

[Sinmuffin]

I planted the seeds. On sept 28. Today is 10 days old. Some didn’t survive. These stayed strong so far. By why the slow growth?
I have fed them ph water of 5.8-6.0. In the tray. Keeping the room humid and the doom humid as well. What I’m I doing wrong?

Light I’m using is t5 sunblaze. 6500k. And it is about 2 feet away from the plant.

Help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Have you not fed them? Why didn't you transplant them yet? As soon as they poke their heads those fuckers are getting transplanted so they don't stretch a mile. Once they pop up you don't want a dome on them.

They look over watered and burnt from nutrients.

And for seedling i would use neutral ph

Is that an EZ cloner tray filled with water?

Too wet. Seedlings dont need high humidity clones do.

Also to prevent stretching without stress t-5 lamp can be about a foot away from seedlings in my experience. Some plants even closer is fine.

It’s a seed starter kit.

Everything you said is correct. I have transplanted into a solo cup. They are about 2 weeks old now from sprout. I went and fed them nutes. 1/4 of what they actually recommend. I did see some leaves have little yellow spots on them. I figured they need food by now.

In the picture above I did not feed them any nutrients. Just ph water. I just transfer them in a solo cup with coco in there

 

[BigCube]

What kind of coco? Did you soak and rinse it? Burnt leaves dont usually happen any other way.

Mother Earth coco and perlite and I didn’t soak it or rinse it. Just pretty much put some of that in a solo cup and then added the cubes of plan inside of it

I looked them up. They pre wash their coco, so that should be fine. My only guess is that is could be a deficiency and not an excess. Normally they di t show deficiencies when they are thay small. But maybe a very demanding strain?

I just fed them yesterday. Hoping for the best. I will complete 24 hours until I feed them again. I will keep you guys posted. The strain is gorilla x cookies. (Gg4 with Girl Scout cookies ).

Yeah gsc is real picky. So it wouldn't surprise me at all. I have a couple gelato that are super picky aswell.

Just remember, nothing will fix the damage done. Look to the new growth to see if it's working. Good luck man!

 

[Sinmuffin]

Update. Some are showing strong signs of life (I think). New leafs are coming up.
I’m taking the feeding on them slowest I can. Picking up and feeling the cups to see if they are still full.
Will keep you guys posted.
So other can learn from my mistake as well.

Questions for anyone following this thread. When do you decide to switch the lights to 18-6 instead of 24.

I start all seeds and clones 18/6. I find 24 hr. Veg hard on plants. I like giving them a break from the beginning.

 

[Sinmuffin]

Update. It’s been a week I have been feeding them the 50% of the recommended dosage. 3 days ago I upped it to the reg dosage. No dead leaf. Everything going good I think.
The only thought I have is. Is my leafs too small or this is normal.
Plus one plant showing really weird leaf shape. Any idea ?

As a noob to a noob advice. Be patient guys. This shit takes time
