Yual need to make a few changes my pilgrem friend.

First yual need more light ifin yu can the more the merrier
Second yu need yur temps up to high 70s for best growth
Dont water every day only when soil becomes dry and pot feels light
Yu be needin to up yur hours of light to at least 18 hours I like it at

Yu do these things and hold on to yur hat oh and dont use feedin sticks can cause hot spots or over nute to small seedlins

Good luck hope yual do well

I'm not sure what you mean by that... but there could be a few reasons why (if I understand correctly they are over two weeks old..) they are small.

-IMHO I would not give them any nutes until at least 4 weeks old.
-I think you could get your temp up to about 74/75 but right now your temp is NOT bad... just the recommended temps (to what I'v read is 74/75)
-You only have 60w light for that one plant?... (I would recommend at least 150W for one)...since you have such a low amount of Watts on the plant that may be a reason for slower growth..
-The leaves are also a big "clawed" or droopy looking (which is a sign of overwatering... ) try watering less. *it will take a while before you get down the right amount/time to water*
*The better the grow conditions the better/fast/bigger/tastier etc your grow will be :thumbsup:
..but remember the pictures you see online when you buy your seeds... are probably nothing close to what your going to get. Don't forget IT IS YOUR FIRST TIME AFTER ALL

Good luck and keep us posted on how it's going.

^^Also just notice that it looks like you have tin foil under it? Tin foil is not that great. I would suggest you get some type of cardboard and paint it flat white =)

no need to be sorry mate. I LOVE helping out anytime I can


and BackWoodDrifter - Thanks mate

Oh and you said you doubled your wattage.. so from 60w to 120w?
If your okay with getting even more(don't mind spending) you can feel free to go up to 180w or even 240w. It'll reflect your final product :thumbsup: If cost however is an issue i think you are fine with 120w for now. Good Luck:jointsmile:

not gonna put up another picture yet but the plant seems to be growing slowly yet. and turning yellowish. Is there any reason for the yellowish tint in the leaves? If so....how do i fix it?

The "Feed stick" burned the roots? :wtf:

PH is off?


That's what comes to mind first and foremost.





Get a way to test your PH, (Aquarium dropper test is fine for now) And make sure your inbound water is at 6.0-6.5 (betting it's not at the moment )


FLUSH all that "Feed Stick" out of the soil, if there's any solid pieces left get em out!

Like Poker2 already said, it's too early in the game to be giving additional nutes!










P.S. "Flush" means to rinse the soil of excess nutrients and salts. This is done by running 2-3x the pot volume (size) in fresh properly PH'd water thru the soil (Example, if it's a 1 gallon pot,.... water it slowly with 3 gallons of water)


Then later in the game you will flush the plant! But that's for later, it's gotta survive being a seedling first before you worry about that! :stoned:

I suggest starting over. Those have had too bad of a start and r way too stretched.
