1. Are you growing from seed or clones? - Seeds
2. How old are your plants? - 1-2.5 weeks
3. How tall are your plants? - About 1"
4. What size containers are they planted in? - Solo cups
5. What is your soil mix? - Happy Frog
6. How often do you water and what type of water do you use? - Been watering every couple days, water them to a decent amount of runoff then leave them until there is no water visibly on the sides of the cup. (I have clear cups inside colored ones) I have misted the tops a few times because it seems to get insanely dry at the top before the bottom gets dry. I use water ran through a Zerowater filter I haven't tested it in the last couple days but it's been consistently 6.5 PH about 3 PPM
7. What is the pH of your water? - 6.5
8. What kind of fertilizer do you use and what is its NPK ratio? - none
9. Do you foliar feed or spray your plants with anything? - none
10. What kind of lights do you use and how many watts combined? (HPS, MH, fluorescent, halogen, incandescent "plant lights") - So this is my suspect & I've been ramping it down. Started with 2 Vivosun VS1000's 18" set to 20%. In the last few days I've gone to only 1 light & raised it a few times. It's about 4 feet over the cups now at 10%
11. How close are your lights to the plants? - started at 18" have been moving up at almost 4' now
12. What size is your grow space in square feet? - 16 (4x4 tent)
13. What is the temperature and humidity in your grow space? 75-78 Degrees 70-72% RH
14. What is the pH of the soil? - Don't know
15. Have you noticed any insect activity in your grow space? - No
16. How much experience do you have growing? - Basically none
So as the title says I seem to be having trouble with the seedling stage. I seem to be able to get sprouts, but they all have just seemed to stall. My oldest plant was in a poorly put together pot at first so it got transplanted at a young age & I understood it's slow growth. 2nd one had a bad cotyledon & it's understandably struggled. The rest though have opened up OK but then just done almost nothing for a week. Just took a nice looking fresh sprout out of it's baggie humidity dome & when I checked on it this morning it's bent down. Lights have been at 30" 10% since it's been out.
