Need help please :(

Hey guys, i have recently germinated a blueberry and it was lookin great off germination, i have it in 50 perlite/ 50 germ soil to grow in. The only problem im having is i have it around 3 feet from my 400 watt metal halide and it seems as if it has stunted :( i think its very short for 2 weeks but maybe im just dreaming, heres a pic to add and also would this be too earlie to give it a teaspoon on nutreients? i use 6-6-6 Fish based all purpose plant nutes.

Will Also kee you guys informed with how its growin for the help :) cheers.

Stop fertilizing it.....doesn't need all that at such a young age. Just give ph correct water and bring your light down SLOWLY over time to about 1 foot above the plant.

hey weedhound

i think the op was asking if nutes were needed. and at two weeks i agree w/you in that nutes arent needed just yet.


germ soil? whats that?

Sorry, my mistake. I took his statement off "I use 6-6-6 fertilizer" to mean he had used it on the same plant before. I humbly beg apology. :)

When you say it's stunted, is this because of slow growth...or is there something else that makes you think so? It was kind of difficult to tell from looking at your picture, but what I saw didn't look out of the ordinary. How long has that sprout been growing?

I like to keep my seedlings under fluorescents for the first week or two, before throwing them under the MH. The only reason being, when I start using HIDs I get fans going all over the place to circulate air...and I don't want to have too much air rushing around my delicate seedlings. And Weedhound is right about the light and nutes: Get your light as close to your plants as possible without burning them, and don't start feeding it any fertilizers until the third or fourth week.

Good luck with your grow!
