Sykonots grow

[SykonoT]

10 days old now and still kinda small lol damn seedling stage taking to long lol I wanna see them grow fasterrrrrr

That's under a 400 watt light?

That's not right man....they should be much, much bigger than that. They pretty much aren't growing at all...

I'm thinking maybe it's an issue with your soil....again. Not sure what your soil is this time around again, but it certainly isn't ideal..With all those big ass pieces of wood it looks like mulch not soil. The ph is probably way off. The seedlings look awfully yellow too. Atleast that's my guess..

I recommend a light fluffy well aerated peat based soil like pro-mix soil with a neutral ph level. It contains spaghum peat moss , perlite and vermiculite and dolomitic lime for ph buffering

You gotta do more research man before just running off to buy things without knowing what you really need....just a suggestion *wink*



Here's what my last babies looked like at 12 days under a 250 watt

Damn they nice as hell!!!!I'll get some better soil I guess lol that's a bigggggg difference!!!!!! But also my light is kinda up high because when I lower it even with the doors open and high velocity fans on,the top of my pots get pretty warm so I leave the light way higher than I like,it's more than 2ft.above the plants

[SykonoT]

I also think maybe removing the aluminum foil and seeing if the heat will reduce at all n maybe I could lower the light after but first things first I gatta get soil

I also think maybe removing the aluminum foil and seeing if the heat will reduce at all n maybe I could lower the light after but first things first I gatta get soil,was those with hps r mh?how close u keep the light?my cool tube rig up kinda sucks I basically leave my doors open 24/7 bn I keep the lights on the 24/7 currently

I got a ph/moisture/light tester from lows for 10$ usd and I got some perlite and sphagnum peat moss soil,I went a few places n they only had the miracle grow name brand shit so I got it and I plan on flushing it out very well to get the miracle grow added fertilizer shit out of it then I'll stick them in to that..sound good?

[SykonoT]

The soil has ...0.05% nitrogen,0.02%available phosphate,0.04%soluble potash..

It says derived from ammonium nitrate,ammonium phosphate,calcium phosphate and potassium sulfate

Is this better than that wood mulch stuff I got lol?this time there's no 2x4 chunks of wood lol I cant build a house from the mix I just bought unlike the other I have hahahah

[SykonoT]

New soil??better r worse lol?

Flush out the soil real well... The amount of water needed to properly flush is approximately three times the volume of the container you are growing in. So, if you have a 1 gallon pot, approximately 3-4 gallons of water will be needed to flush the plant. When the water runs clear out the bottom of the pot you will be good to go (at first it will run yellow/brown) You cannot 'drown' the plant from too much water

Then you could do a mix of either 50% spaghum moss and 50% perlite or 75% moss and 25% perlite

Remove the aluminum foil for sure...it is the worst reflective material to use. For one because it is only like 55% reflective and secondly because it creates heat spots.

Get a thermometer to keep track of the temps...heat will also do a number on your plants

The closer you can get the light the better...a 400 watt should be about 12-15 inches away from the plant

My plants were grown with HPS

Are the leaves of your plants soft or crisp?

[Weedguru Higher]

Much better

Those younguns sure are having a rough life though...transplants stress them and they stall growth for a few days.

But once they do pick back up they should be much, much happier and hopefully things will be good from here on in

Thanks for all the help!:) and I posted another thing onthe growing advice section about my tester I bought because idk how it all works lol

Here's the to that suffered nute burn and here's the otter 6kinda over watered them at first but tree doing a lil better now,also I lowered my lights alot

[SykonoT]

Damn for an auto correction phone it sure did fk up alot of my words lmao

Dude, don't want to discourage you but all those plants look pretty shitty...Even worse that I thought from the other pics yesterday.

Got anymore seeds?

There's so much unknown and changing and unclear things in your grow that's it's nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact cause...

They are horribly yellow and burned looking...as bad as your first two you are trying to save. I am leaning towards the idea of saying they might be unsaveable...seedlings are fragile man, and those younguns look sore man, worse that I initially thought yesterday anyways...But that doesn't mean they aren't saveable by no means. MJ is a real tough plant and that cannot be under estimated. And my opinion is not written in concrete..it's an opinion not a fact..Don't run off and chuck them cause I said that okay??..

You need to slow down a bit, and take more time to research before making blind decisions. I understand the impatience..it's totally normal. But it won't get you far...Take the time to stop, wait and listen....

If you have more seeds I would suggest starting a few more...and growing them side by side those

If it was me in your situation, and provided I had the room, with the knowledge I currently have , I would keep those sad seedlings and try my best to save them even if the final outcome may seem dim. The learning experience just from something like that is priceless and totally worthwhile and in a sense necessary in ones learning curve...people learn the most from their mistakes and experiences.

But at the same time I would start germing other seeds (If you can) and take a different approach...that of being more patient and taking the time to properly research and wait for answers from more experienced growers. If you want to truly succeed at growing, you must not act in haste....nothing comes easy and quick with a snap of the fingers in life, not even pot. You gotta educate and apply yourself if you want worthwhile results

You have everything right pretty much in terms of setup (I think), but I have that feeling that you have the new grower haste...to anxious and impatient. Being smart and taking your time pays off in the long run , trust me

Unlike most newbie growers, equipment wise, you seem to be totally on the right track...

If you choose to germ more seeds, ask before doing ok? Regardless of how insignificant you think your 'doing' might be...

EDIT : Sorry...I'm a but drunk and that was long...did you understand anything ?? lol I can't re read that at the moment but in the morning I might realize some of that needs rephrasing...The french in me is much stronger when I am wasted and I tend to loose my proper english skills to communicate adequately and clearly
