Hi All,
I have a seedling that's been up about 1.5 weeks. It is less than 1/2" high, and has tiny leaves. Any idea what is causing this slow growth? I realize that maybe it's just working on building a root system, but it just seems like it should have grown some by now. I have a 400W MH lamp 32" above.
Opinions appreciated!
Is it stretching
Maybe your light is too far.
Can't help with out a pic
No, no stretching at all. It's less than a half inch tall. It looks quite healthy, other than that and the small leaves. It is working on it's second pair of real leaves, which is good.
10 days is not to long. be patient give it a few more days, or you can feed it with superthrive 1 drop per galln.
Thanks, I just gave it the superthrive, but this morning it looks like it is on it's way to a slow death. It's starting to yellow. Maybe the ST will bring it back.
I am having such a hard time getting seedlings to grow. They come up, and look good for a few days, then they die. Most discouraging for a first time grower! I don't *think* I'm doing anything wrong, which makes it all the more discouraging.
Hey man sounds like the same thing i am going thru..look at my posts and pics..look like yours?? mine are 10 days today

As I replant, the new seedlings die too. A couple of you suggested a possible fungus in the planting medium. I am almost out of seeds (help!), but I am going to try and sprout one using different soil.
Maybe you over watered it. I bet thats it.
I just sprouted some seeds and they are growing there second set of leaves after 3 days.
Is there any way of rectifying overwatering, besides just letting the pots dry out on their own?
