i've heard that medium is too harsh for seedling, so that may be the problem....but if you overwatered then just don't water it until it's almost dry then just give it enough water as you get runoff coming from the bottom of the pots! They should recover if you give her your TLC :jointsmile:

Also you should try to avoid topping until the 4th or 5th node, but if it doesn't look like it really bothered it then no worries....it will probably just take awhile to recover, but you may get 2 branches where it was topped....

thank for your wisdom dude does c02 make weed grow faster will that get them back to vigor growing again

deep breath, exhale, and just relax. it should come back fine. check your drainage and wait till the soil dries before next watering. even if they die, you've only lost a week. as far as MG soil goes, you could be using worse. and I'd wait to top or take clones till you have atleast 5 or more nodes.

sorry to repeat what italiano said, the phone rang and he beat me to the punch..lol

its cool dude thanks what about the c02 question

co2 is good for your plants, but more of an advanced growing technique. I'd start out simple and work your way up. your little plants will be ok, you're identifying problems and searching for answers, that's the best you can do. i'm confident you'll figure it out.

you need to do some research on your own dude, all the answers to these
questions are already here.

start by clicking on the button up top that say's 'Cannabis FAQs', then go to
'FORUM HOME' and start reading the sticky's, they become sticky's because
they contain very useful info.

try and understand that people are much more likely to help someone who shows
enough initiative to learn enough to ask difficult questions. you'll earn respect that
way also.

just so you know, i popped 30 seeds for my first attempt and i killed them all,
then i popped 30 more and killed all but 5, i'm a slow learner and it took me a
while to learn how to not kill them.

my last attempt with seeds i popped 10, 5 White Rhino and 5 PPP and you know
what, all 10 are still alive nearly a year later and still providing me with cuts
to keep my SOG running and feeding my head.

my point is that there are a lot of very knowledgable people here who are more
than willing to help anyone willing to help themselves.

what bozo is telling you is the truth. some damn good info on those "sticky's". alot of that info comes from growers who have doing this for decades.

This is def. useful information, you should do what I did; read, read, read, read, and ohhhh yeah....read some more:D

Also, being new I wouldn't incorporate any CO2 as of yet as you could over do it and kill them completely or even kill yourself (if using a CO2 tank). Too much is bad too. With time that step will come in...

iwas going to the yeast thing for c02 thanks wise dudes

Italiano715 is right, CO2 is something for advanced growers and not noob's
like us (i've been growing for about 3 yrs now and i still don't use CO2).

also, CO2 enrichment in a micro-grow setting is a complete waste of time, effort
and money. not to mention that, as a new grower, you wouldn't know whether
the CO2 was doing anything useful or not as you don't have any harvests under
your belt without it it to compare to.

do yourself a favor and concentrate your efforts on learning the basic's first and
on learning to read your plants as they will tell you what they need if you only
know how to read the signs.

try not to resent what i'm saying either because if i wasn't trying to encourage you,
i'd just ignore you.

there's truth in the old adage that 'to give a man a fish is to feed him for a day,
to teach that man to fish is to feed him forever'.

my point is that once you have the knowledge, no-one can ever take it away
from you.

thanks i guess

I think that your going to have problems with that Moisture control MG. I use just reg. MG and my clones love it! Damn! I know a lot of ppl don't prefer MG, prob cause they never used it. I did have it burn up a few seedlings awhile back, but my point is the moisture control is going to give you issues.

If you find the right strains, MG isn't an issue. Don't have to worry about feeding.

First, I have to laugh. Second we all make mistakes. Just change the potting soil out for something a bit dryer, then rewater. I wouldn't recommend topping a plant, until it has reached at least its third node. Make sure to give it some down time, as this is the part where the plant use's the rest of its engery to grow.

Bozo is right, there are many things to get taken care of before Co2...

A few examples of things I would put before Co2 are...

HPS/MH Lighting
Carbon Filter & proper vent/intake
Humidity/ temp gauges (and a way to adjust the humidity)
A grow room you're going to be using for YEARS



A good quote from a very wise person "Keep It Simple, Stoner"

You have no idea how much I overthought things on my first plant... I think I actually killed about 15-20 before I got one to live... Read read and when you can't read, then read some more... I find myself obsessing about growing and end up staring at the screen for hours not gaining one bit of useful info... Don't let it get to you like that, but do read lots.

Thats what you need to learn first...after you can keep them alive, you then learn how to make them prosper
