KLS Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Hey guys. I’m growing a little frustrated here and I need help. Today is Day 4 of my seedlings lives and things are slooooowww. I don’t know if I’m headed towards a good start. I haven’t been able to diagnose whether it’s a temp thing, humidity thing or lighting issue. I’m using a 300W CFL bulb in an 80x80x160m tent and my temp alternates between 20- 25 - humidity is between 50-70% RH and I mist my plants twice a day. help?

Ill_Evan Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Let 'em grow bruh. They probably working on growing their roots. Only mist when you see your medium getting dry. If you mist based on times per day you could accidentally overwater and cause further stunting. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbie_2020 Posted June 30, 2020 Share Posted June 30, 2020 Looking good. Must say Im also in the begin stages and my growth are also slow. The forum really give great input and guidance. One thing I learned patience are key. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateNoob Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Update: My babies are sitting pretty Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkLooking good bro... But it also looks like your medium needs better drainage. If you're planning to transplant, I would buy some Perlite and mix it in a 50/50 or 40/60 of perlite/medium... It will help aerate your medium to increase oxygen in the root zone and also help with drainage by creating air pockets, also helping the roots to develop by seeking out oxygen rich spots. I feel that a medium with majority coco packed down can be quite dense. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLS Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Hey guys how would I diagnose this? Also I think I need to retransplant this because it’s sitting very low in the pot and the growing medium needs to be altered.

TheUltimateNoob Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Let's see how they respond to the transplant and post some pictures when they're properly awake and the leaves are all perked up. It would help to notice if any of them are struggling. Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheUltimateNoob Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 I'd guess discolouration, droopiness, stunted growth and/or bad vibes. Yeah this is pretty much it really@StickyD420 Discolouration to notice deficiencies or lockouts to narrow down any causes if there are. Also to correct them before it gets severe... Deficiencies that show on the leaves usually exist in the plant a good while before you can see it. Leaf health - drooping and wrinkles - helps judge soil conditions a bit and overall health of the plant. I've transplanted trees before just after lights on, and they carried on with their day as if nothing happened, so I feel it would be quite noticeable if the transplant had any ill effects.

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) Perfect, I have experienced before the transplanting and have the carry on as nothing happens. I was intrigued by the the fact that you might know why the leaves wouldn't stand up the day after transplanting them, as I have had that once before in the start of this, but not again. Always wondered what that might have been causing it not to praise the light or lift awake. Had thought unhappy roots.

Excuse my bad way of asking a question What I meant to actually ask is, When you see drooping leaves, as that is what I understood he wanted to check the plants for, and then what his or anyone's take would be on the drooping? Not even specifically after transplanting but in general, and ask because I have 2 plants right now doing that, one pictured below, but are bag seed and could be bad genetics and such, and they got the same soil, same watering, and same care given. From start of flower only, Also learned from the comments on another thread this weekend, that if you have a hermie, those seeds will most likely do it too, something I never knew and explains so much now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always wondered what that might have been causing it not to praise the light or lift awake. Had thought unhappy roots.To my understanding and from what I've experienced, droopy leaves can mean 3 things (although it's not limited to these factors only as humidity and incorrect VPD can also cause it amongst other things). So the 3 main things are;OverwateringDehydrationIncorrect root zone pHIf leaves are drooping when the plant isn't dehydrated, it may mean your light is too close.If the water or light isn't an issue, then pH is a likely culprit - pH problems usually exhibit wrinkly leaves and a variety of Discolouration. Sometimes different strains are just sensitive.The standing up or "praying" leaves usually means your light is just around the right distance... If it's too severe and the leaves look to be reaching up too much, the light may be too far up. If the leaves look to be drooping a bit but the tree is in good health, it may be trying to get away from such intense lighting (cannabis becomes CO2 limited after a certain point, I think above 1200umol of PAR) Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheUltimateNoob Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Always wondered what that might have been causing it not to praise the light or lift awake. Had thought unhappy roots. The leaves drooping or standing up can be used as a way to see at what distance of hanging the light does your tree get around its optimal respiration rate at.

The_StonedTrooper Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Shot brother, This round sucks, for the first time out of 50 seeds, I hit 4 males out of 6 gsc, plus 3 others had been male, and the ones I didnt have space for put outside to flower, and because of the males, brought the others back inside after I saw the males, silly of me and I know. These are of the outside plants, and they just never got happy, and have pH meter and water them a day or so after others, but bag seed and just not happy with change of worlds back and forth I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yasis... Sorry brother include the pics though. LolEnvironmental stresses play a big role, but sometimes it just happens bro.I had 2 trees in my tent, both by Ethos Genetics, both feminized.The Inzane in the Membrane grew really well, and so did the Black Fire - up until flower.Both trees were treated exactly the same, like the exact f*n same bruh, and the Black Fire showed a shit ton of deficiency, toxicity and pH problems out of nowhere (yes, all 3 ). When I finally managed to get the tree responding again, motherf*r hermied on me.Sent from my POCOPHONE F1 using Tapatalk 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
