:( :mad: Whats up with these plants its day 13 and they look like this what is a good formula of nutes that you can give to plants at 3 weeks what up with these are they good bad what? PROS INPUT OR ANY INPUT please NEWBIE HERE THANKS!!!:confused: :cool:
Looks like they need some mild nutrients, 300 ppm is a good start. What medium are you growing in? What strain are they?
You could be overwatering them, thus the stunning in growth.. Or the temps aren't good enough.. I don't know..
Hey Mean,
They look good, except maybe for the color. They are still young and the root system is small, but growing. You should only need to water once or twice a week at this stage. For veg. I use Shultz liquid plant food 10-15-10. Follow the directions, I usually error on the light side. What kind of light are you using? I thought I saw a MH hanging above them in one of the pics. I use florescent tubes exclusively for veg. Can get them anywhere, inexpensive to buy and operate and do not generate much heat. MH are good too though. If your using MH I would have a fan running also. Do you have a moisture meter? If not you should get one. Over watering is very common.
Good luck Mean..
dont fert its to smalll and have to wait at least to 3rd set of leaves come out
move the light closer, dont water everyday?
Look at one of those pics where the stock meets the soil and you can see a slight root i have burried that. What will the repracution be???
Just try not to worry, stop watering them alltogether and see what happens. Goodluck <3.
Are they getting fresh air from OUTSIDE your home? Not "fresh air" from the room... no no no... an actual duct connecting the grow room to the OUTside of your home?
They need fresh air... other than that, best to you :)
give some more details about your set-up ie: lighting, temp, ventillation, etc. i see others saying overwatering which is verypossible going from what little details we have. i see a little bit of what looks like heat stress. i could be wrond but the leaves look slightly bleached on the tops(could just be the pic though) it just looks very similar to the way my clones did one time when my fan died for 3 days. good luck. remember, it's all about detective work.
There under 400watt MH with a homemade fan coolin the bulb and a fan blowing in the light is about 1 foot off them what do you think?? and its in a 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 x 6 tall closet
what are the temps?
-edited for typo
Justaseed I'd appreciate it if you emailed me at [email protected]. I'd love to talk about SCroG more with you.
that sounds great! i'm finally getting the hang of training them into the screen evenly so no buds get choked out. i'de love to hear your experiences as well. i'll get back to you as soon as i put the kids to bed and water the plants...be back soonQuote:

if it's high 80's that could be your problem. i have had no luck at all if temps are 85 or above for more than a day or 2. that being said i find my seedlings/clones do alot better with temps in the low to mid 70's . you could up you ventillation and see if it helps. just a thought. this grow was below 78 start to finish.
There in about 80 86 thats where there stayin right now im tryin so hard to drop it. and still have MH i got a 250 now i think that glows blue.
you could try using flouros for the 1st 2weeks from now on and see if it makes a difference. i vegg entirely under 8 4ft agrosun flouros and my seed plants are usually 3x what those pics are at 2 weeks. mh is much better than flouro. seedling really don't need all that light in the 1st stages of growth. i'm just speculating on your problem though, i'm no expert. as i said before they look alot like some clones i had that got stressed out from too much heat/ to close light. i'd like to hear what someothers think as well. oh yeah have you ferted yet. if not i would try using a real small dose. i use fox farms grow big for veg and if those plants were mine and they hadn't been fed yet i'd give them a real mild dose to see if they perk up. i've never burned a plant with ff ferts.
just give them water for the first month no nutes. use fluoresent lights for the first month. it take time in the first begining, and when they do start growing you'll be talking about you need more space :thumbsup: water every 3 rd day let the soil dry out a little. (example) your on a desert , you need water, and when you get that water you can go further until you need water again. let your plants work for that water :thumbsup:
no nutes for a month! my seed plants start showing dificiencies not much after 2wks if i don't feed them! and i've never burned a plant. as long as your careful it should be ok.
