.8) Size of container. a red plastic cup, a pot with a 6" diameter
.9) Did you use peat pucks (or similar) to root clones or germinate seedlings? no

Your nutrients and water:
10) Source of water? (tap, bottled or filtered) What's it's ph before adjusting? as high as it would go, maybe 11

15) Any additives or tea's? (Superthrive, CalMag, molasses, Mother's Earth...) no
16) Are your ph levels stable, or do they fluctuate? stable at bad
17) What is your ingoing water's ph? ...your runoff ph? 6ish

22) Have you seen signs of insects in the growroom? red spider mites on baby clones, in a humidity box next to the seedlings

Your strain:
23) What strain are you growing? (Indica dominate or Sativa dom?) At least one seedling is green crack, the other two are unknown. Big leaves, prolly indica dom.
24) From seeds or clones? seeds
25) Is this an autoflower strain? ???

There are yellow spots on one, but that one needs to be transplanted to a bigger container, and they all have "mutated" looking true leaves... like wrinkly and bad looking.

get some pics up you say you have no fans or fresh air supply.... it could be they are starving from fresh air

when lights are on and temps rise you should have some kind of fan and fresh air is a must ( big armoire is this some sort of wardrobe)

[CapNTinHat]

it's basically a big TV box or entertainment center thing made of cedar. I guess armoire was the wrong term.

I moved all the plants in there away from the light (about 2 foot), and am now leaving the doors open during the day.

[jaydee84]

yep just leave the door open slightly really not that much i would leave it like that until you can sort out some fans to get the air moving

after reading the troubleshooting form, it doesn't really say what kind of water you are using. If it's tap water make sure you let it sit out for at least 24 hrs to outgas. If it's distilled or R/O water, switch to tap water. If it's distilled and you are using it on your clones that could also be a problem. I've heard for some reason rooting with distilled water doesn't work as well because of something to do with the ionization of the water. Just suggestions good luck :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Yeah, I have the ceiling fan on with the doors open, I also have a spare vornado fan from the flowering/vegging room - it's really fucking strong, maybe too much so for the seedlings? Although I could tie them to stakes...


We're using pH adjusted southern california tap water, which we let sit for at least 24 hours prior to use.



Here is a question: when we germinated the seeds, we were out of paper towels, so we used toilet paper instead. The paper pretty much liquified, mushing all around the seeds and having to be washed off. We only got 4/6 to germinate, and one of those was about 5 days late and super mutated looking as well as super slow growing so I scrapped it.

Could the bleach and other shit in the toilet paper have mutated or sickened our babies?!?!

Well I prefer straight from the tap with the chloramines for the very first water to prevent fungus and disease......

You have watered 4 times in one week? HOW MUCH WATER? That is a lot for a seedling.
