4 have died overnight !

3 week old babies, just curled right up n died overnight, that the hell am i doin wrong? They in a mix of standard compost and say 20% perlite, they had their first feed of biobozz bio grow 2 days ago, rest seem ok and have grown a little, under a 100w at the mo, its not hot enough to burn my hand between lamp n plants. Could it be the feed, would i need to flush them, what if they end up too wet after flushin wont the rest just die cos they overwatered ?? 4 died, have 8 left, dont really wanna lose anymore :(
Was gonna transplant into biobozz all mix or canna coco this weekend coming, would that help at all ?
Any help is most appreciated ! :thumbsup:
Pic of the babies b4 i started to mess it all up

Pics would help lol

What type of light are they under, and how close are they to it ?


Looks like the one in the 2nd pic has been either burned from getting to close to the light, or has some bad nute burn going on.

Looks pretty darn small for being 3 weeks old too honestly.


If those pics are old... do you have any pics of the dead ones ?

l know they r small, they start first 2 weeks in a greenhouse, they inside now, moving house in 2 weeks so able to set up a proper grow room,hope they pick up if i have any plants left ! That pic was took last night of another one the babies that is still alive, i'll do a pic now of the dead ones n post

transplant into miricle grow potting soil. don't try to furtilize for 3 weeks. use 2 40 wt. fluoreccent bulbs for lighting. start them about 3 iches above plants, and raise lights as plants grow.
marijauna is a weed. There's no reason that you should fail if you stick to basics.
oh yeah water, for 2 40 wt. i'd say once every 2 days, and spray them with water 2 times a day. Good Luck!!

Because they are a big 'stalky' i tied them up, thinkin that will do till i transplant, looks like ive tied it a bit too tight, stalk is fine underneath, n all shrivelled above.. Gutted !!

Yeah.
At 3 weeks your plant should be atleast 12+ inches tall.

Well...mine is anyways.
But that's probably from massive stretching. =P

Mine just hit exactly 3 weeks today.
It's already working on it's 6th set of branches.

l dont know whether to give up on these and wait untill growroom is set up and start afresh with a new packet of seeds ?

Work to keep them alive .... you need the experience ... don't use any more ferts on them .... in fact I would recommend flushing them .... you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
:stoned:

I've flushed my babies this morning, just hope they'll stay with me till i get room set up, even if they don't grow till would they be ok ? l mean would they pick up n flourish under right conditions, and would it be ok if i transplanted them, they gettin rather top heavy

Thats sort of behind what kind of light are U using? HPS would be the best in your situation as it causes alot of fast growth :dance: , but sometimes too fast. :(

that isn't right for 3 weeks. i'm guessing this was bagseed?

Nope , not bagseed, packet of 10 northern lights. They started life in a greenhouse, got too cold so brought them in. l am moving house in 2/3 weeks and will be settin up a room with 2 x 600w lamps extractor fan etc etc. Thy aint had the best of starts i know n just hope they pick up under right conditions :o

lightin, just been in window, and sometime under a 100 eco lite thing, its bad i know but want them to survive until i get room set up, or just bin them and start afresh

So you didn't fertilise them at all for three weeks? Must be lethal soil

It was my fault that they died..
Because they were a bit top heavy i decided to support them and tied them a bit too tight :( The rest are ok, i have flushed the nutes out i gave them, have read they too small for nutes. Just need this damn room set up them i can grow more and see if these that i have will pick up.
