Hello, I have a 4 plant setup going and successfully germinated all 4 on the 18th. (Seeds planted on 15th) 3 seem to be a little bit slower than the other, just wondering if this growth seems okay for day 4, or a little slow?

enjoy the farm, lots of help here.
they look fine, roots are growing first for plant to build on later.
roots need wet and dry, they need to breath oxygen.

How much water should they be receiving? I have the “overwatering” paranoia... tent is about 25*C, 70-80%Rh, good air intake and circulation. Grown in Mo’koko mix with 5% pearlite. First Planter pots are 2.5gal. (transplant before flower to 5 gal fabric) Have not seen much above ground vegetative growth the past day or so.

you should get used to lifting the pots to see when they need watering,
roots are growing first than the plant will start to grow slowly as the roots keep growing. it’s important that the roots get oxygen, so wet/dry cycle.. patience and less is more.
you see something going wrong, try figuring it out and post it here to see if you were right and for help.

Looking great so far!
Welcome to the Farm.
They will go slow for a little at this stage, just take care to remember this is when they are growing their first roots.

Nice selection!

3 gallon would probably work for Coco, and you might want to consider starting them in smaller containers next time, good luck!

Be sure to water medium evenly. Not so much at base of plant, helps roots and plant to "harden off" from seedlings stage. Gives you a proper wet/dry cycle as GNick55 stated.

Well the GG#4 is not looking so great today, it was starting to go pale green last night, I figured I have to feed them this morning a 1/4 dose of cal/mag watered in at a pH 6.5 (coco pH is getting higher, 7.3 - I’m thinking I under watered from beginning, allowed the coco to dry too much And now it’s going alkaline?) anyways - small dose of some food, watered to small runoff. Symptoms are yellowing, leaves folding up.. room has great ventilation, humidity and temps. Thought heat stress...

some things I am aware of, and some things I would have changed...

- people are not a fan of the “mr canucks grow” method - I’m now realizing this online, works for some, not for others... and yous may not be able to help me

- I regret not starting them in solo cups, not sure why I thought 2.5gal pots for beginning would be great, I am transplanting to 5 gal before flower (if I can even get started)

any advise?

They are pretty slow at first. Here’s a 12 day old seedling to show the roots already reaching the bottom and sides of a solo cup but barely starting the first true leaves. Whats your lighting and distance?

Spider farmer SF4000, and it’s about 42” away, they don’t have any stretch to any of the seedlings

Nice looking setup, maybe someone familiar with that light will offer better advice but i would have it closer.
Edit: the manual suggests 24”

Thanks, you can throw money at it, but doesn’t make you a better grower.. recommended height for seedlings is 24-30” from manufacturer, but since I hadn’t seen stretch at all, I didn’t drop down further. When GG#4 sprouted it wasted no time making first set of serrated leaves, and looked like it was praying, until it slowly yellowed...

Yeah, in the end your right... shouldn’t assume or argue with what’s written on paper... dropped it down.

I would start right at this height. I use similar lights, and move them up and down depending on if I want to stretch or stack the nodes. But they are still fairly young so they shouldnt need as much light.

So now just remember the roots already five or six inches deep getting the little water a seedling needs. Keeping the top soil dry and fluffy prevents bugs from laying eggs.

Edit: Writing these off your phone is difficult. My point was I veg about 12 inches with Leds for the duration.. Then I move them to 18-20 to encourage stretch before i flip . Its what I am working on now. These pics are 24 hours apart after raising.

Second pic is 24 hours ago with lights 12 inches off top. First is today. I moved them 12 inches up to encourage stretch before I flip to flower. You should be able to see the difference. You can get much closer to plants with LEDs compared to other setups

this is after defoliation today. You should be able to manipulate the plant pretty easily with these lights. You should have some pretty good success with these
