I just started my first grow.

First off- it’s a lemon crack bag seed.
I’m wondering…the leaves seem dark compared to what I see online. Can’t find a definite answer as to why and how serious it is. If there’s anything you see wrong or right let me know!


Temp: 70-78
Humity: 60/78
Age: 29 days
Par: 350
Medium: promix premium potting soil
-Used to be lanky but has been covered in soil.
-semi organic.

Too much nitrogen usually. As long as your not providing said too much nitrogen with supplements...I wouldn't worry about it. It'll be fine.

Hey, that promix premium might be a bit hot for seeds, I've heard of others with problems using it. I don't feed for at least 3 weeks in reg promix that stuff you'll have to watch your plant, dark green over fed, light green under fed. If you see it starting to pale then a light feed, always light to start and work up as they get larger. More holes in that cup for O2 and drainage. It looks good just giver time and you'll need to transplant soon, don't use that potting mix. If you intend on growing get a 3.8cu/ft bale of BX , HP or Mycorrhizae. You may also want some extra perlite, to add to help stop the soil from compacting after multiple watering / feeding

Hi again Chris. Most plants you see in the forum are under very high intensity lighting so they tend to be a little on the light side.
Your plant is a perfect green. Very nice seedling. Give it another week, then start feeding 1/4 strength fertilizer. once a week. Just water the rest of the time when needed. From this point on make sure and keep them a little on the dry side rather than watering every day.

I'm also thinking it's just about time to transplant you should be getting your big pots ready.

Yeah I haven’t fed it nothing just a some compost soil to top off the solo cup but that was yesterday so I doubt it’s from that. Yes the promix is probably too hot. I’ll use the potting you referred to and see how it goes. Thank you.
