Hey peoplez,

Ok here's the situation: I'm growing 2 Northern Light fems. They are currently only a week old. One is a little over an inch tall, the other just barely an inch. they only have 4 leaves which are under 1/2 long. The thing is, they don't seem to be growing that fast. especially over the past two days. I'm using phed water with Superthrive. Is this just a characteristic of the type of plant or no? any help would be greatly appreciated(also, please be gentle, im a newbie grower!!):D....

Mine are that big or maybe just a bit bigger and they broke surface about eight days ago. I don't know what the problem is or if there is even a problem. I'm just a noob.

your lights are too close for the seedlings and that pot is too big. back the light off and try not to overwater. You should have started the seeds in a small rockwool cube or peet cube then put into an 8oz cup. 8 inch pot will hold much more water than the seedling can use and suffacate her....if you are careful you should still be able to make it work.

looks like to much water. just give it some time and move the light like 10 inchs away.

The darker stem can sometimes mean that its to cold also. but that kinda goes with the over watering
