Recently i received a few bonus seeds on an order. Before my setup was complete i decided to rush these to get a headstash of some sort during my grow process..
BIG MISTAKE
i did not have a flourecent light only HPS and MH bulbs so when the seedlings cracked i put them in a germination tent with a heating pad under it and used distelled water they came out of the medium (rapid root) very fast might i mention and within 2 days were touching the top of the germination tent. i kinda paniced and took them out to pot in a SOLO cup with an indoor organic potting mix and did not give them nutrients for about two weeks under a MH bulb..
noticing their growth being incredibly slow i realized the rooms humidity was about 16 percent and temperature under the bulb was reaching a high point of 95 degrees during the day sometimes ...only a floor fan at the moment.
I gave the plants a foxfarm nutrient regime for the next week and noticed only a little added growth and they are turning a light green/yellow color. i am on week three and they are still seedlings with only 2 small sets of leaves
Recently i decided before posting here to get a taller tent on the germination tray not because of the height of the plants but because of the solo cups they are in now. and put them back in the germination station to control humidity. when i repotted from rapid root cubes i put soil halfway up the elongated stems in an attempt to shorten them..
ive been able to increase humidity to the 70s and lower the temperature to the 80's so far but will not have a florescent for a few more days still a MH bulb. ive realized these things have been through some shock and are probably barely hanging on...i also know i rushed this and should have waited till proper setup.. but if the seedlings are locked up.. what is my best way to overcome my noob mistakes?
