wtf is going on with this thing?

first, they're over-fertilized, and kept too wet :wtf: ... for a 110-volt AC computer fan, go to 'Coolerguys.com', look at their fan selection, toggle the details, find the cfm ratings ... cheap, and I haven't had one fail, yet (they ship fast, too) :thumbsup:

no ferts here homie. i wake up and the dirt is dry as fuck. i then i water them. how is that keeping them too wet?

My best guess would be what Bigtopps said earlier about soil drainage, (don't see any pearlite?) And do your pots have holes in the base for excess water to drain out? This is sometimes overlooked.

If not a drainage problem I'm going to guess hot spots or some sort of burn coming from a light being to close or something to that effect.

If this doesn't answer your question hopefully a more experienced grower can solve this...???

I have found with my first closet grow to keep it simple and clean follow the great words of wisdom around this blog and adjust to your situation. Happy growing alex.

hey thanks alot van.
i think the drainage is definitally the problem. the top of the soil will look kind of dry. yet under that it stays very moist and the bottom dirt doesnt really dry much.

Yay!! the little sucker pulled through. i put her outside for 2 days and changed to soil with perlite. now shes back in the box and healthy. i have 3 other tiny sprouts in the box too.

[alexsmoake]

hmmm????
how come outside the leaves looked relaxed.
inside they kind of want to curl upwards?

Wish i could tell you whats wrong but all i can see is that they are in alot of stress. If you happen across the latest "High Times" there is a good article on germination and seedling development. You can probably find the same info here with some searching. I think these plants are going to be hard to save from that much trauma so early on.

If you restart you need to follow these rules:

-Submerge in cup of "Distilled water" till seed breaks (exposing white)
-Transfer to wet paper towel (keep in warm place)
-After white root elongates to about 0.5"-1" place into grow medium.
-Your grow medium should be
-Peat cup
-rockwool
-dixie (the point is small amount of soil)
-water, wait, wait
-transfer to larger pot after 2nd set of true leaves develop(not huge, next step up)

-!Do not fert, !do not over water/under water,!keep temps in 78'-80'degrees)
-Use clean, room temperature, ph balanced water

when you have come this far we shall continue.

I hope this helps if your start a new. Best of luck and happy growing.

next time add about 3 times as much pearlite as you used this time.

DRAINAGE IS KEY. it also helps keep your soild aerated so your roots get plenty of air.
