Hello fellow farmers!!! I come to you frustrated, confused, upset, and just plain baffled. I have been growing for a few years now but really only started seriosly growing indoors for 2 years. I have always kept things organic and or natural for the most part with the only bottled nute line ever used being Nectar for the Gods but now I am using Anbessa nutes with a few other inputs like Osa28, SLF-100, Veganic Special Sauce, and a cpl others. Since the begining I have always had great success with germinating and growing. I am not saying I am this badass grower that only grow crystal covered liter size cola plants but I get by. So my last succcessful grow was harvested in early Jan and I was, at the time working with a 1 tent setup for veg and flower so I had to wait to harvest before starting anything new. Well after that harvest I got a 2nd tent so I could run a perpetual cycle and harvest more meds. Starting with the first batch of seeds I germed, everything looked fine when the popped up outa their plugs and showed their cytodoyles (or however its spelt) but afterer they grew their first set of true leaves (serrated) they just STOPPED GROWING!!! At first I thought it was just that batch of seeds but seed after seed from breeder after breeder they were all doing the same thing!! Its like my seedlings are germing and only growing as much as the stored energy in their seed is giving them, not taking in any water or nutrition from the soil. The seedling soil I am now using is Light Warrior from Fox Farms but I have also tried bas's seedling mix and also my own. Once the seedlings grow to that small fistr set height they just stop! I notice that they are not growing roots either, hence them not taking in anything from the soil. I have only ever gave the seedling plain clean water, or water with osa28 and slf100 or some vss. I have tried switching from my Airpot prop cells (which I have previously grown seedlings with great success) I have also tried switching back to red solos to see if a smaller constainer was the answer but no luck. I have tried watering more, watering less, I have tried root enhancers like Deep6 and Vam from BioAg but they just wont fucking grow!! And after I transplant I ofcourse don't water until the soil is completely dry but once I do water it is like the water never gets used or evaporates and the soil stays wet! Just bc I know it will get asked I have tried both in my tent and in a reg room under T'5s..I usually didn't pH my water in the past and never had problems but now have tried both pH'd and non pH'd water...My lights on temps are 74-77 with rh around 40 and lights off at 68-70 with rh in the 30's (for my tent at least) in the bare room I tried starting them in the temp were similar but the rh was consitantly at like 20%. I have ask close trusted fellow growers who of course started with "you watered too much" and "its too big of a container" but none of those could be it bc the fact is that even when I don't water but once I still have this problem. I am so confused and upset that I am almost ready to give up!! It's like all of a sudden their is something toxic in my air or water that is not letting my babies grow roots. I have been thru well over 70 seeds and countless hundreds of $$ lost in genetics and am now only trying herm beans or personal testers until i figure out what the fuck is going on....One strange thing I noticed is one of the seedlings that was getting yellow as they do after 2 or 3 weeks of staying on their first set of true leaves I moved it outside in a pot with some soil from last season and after about 2 or 3 weeks of it just chilling looking ugly in that outdoor pot it started growing and is now looking pretty decent. I have also started seed completley outdoors and even with the close to freezing temps I was having not too long ago the beans outdoors seem to be germing and growing past my indoor plants with no problems. I am convinced if its not toxic air it has to be some sort of fungal disease that is in the room I start my seedlings in or something but idk. The lil tiny root/s that the seedlings do show are white and look healty...Not sure what other info I can give but please if anyone has any advice I am so close to giving up on growing bc of this.....I attached a cpl pics of seedlings that were germed in the very begining of April and they look like they are 5 days old....
