Baby Seedling "Jessica" might be dying :(

[Cyklos]

Hello guys,



I am very concerned for my little baby, her name is Jessica.



She has been going through a lot of traumatic events such as:



1. object falling on her

2. over10 hours without light... (lamp burned)

3. Overwatering

4. Light was too far

5. Light too was too close



She lost part of her roots and has been overwatered...

However, she's a fighter and hasn't died ... atleast not yet.



Problem 1.) The left lower leaves (the one on the picture) is turning white and yellow and looks like someone took a bit off it. Is it maybe a infestation? I am not sure but today when i came home i swear i saw tiny little flies around the growing area. Maybe 2-3 could be that i was just high off my ass because they are so small ... maybe white flies? Maybe nothing?



Problem 2.) The plant is growing really slow I germinated it on the 28th of September and it barley grows... Do you guys think she looks good for her age? More light needed?



Problem 3.) If you look carefully there is a little yellow dot on one of the bigger leaves should I be concerned?



Question 3.) Am I supposed to start feeding her nuts?



Question 4.) Is my light at the right level? Can i attach my 2nd 125W CFL Lamp or is it too early?

Can I lower the lights even more?

Thanks for the help

oops double post

It's not bad, yet. Just wait a few days & see what happens..IMO

if it grows well in 5 days...then you can add the other light-no nutes until 3 weeks old.

So your saying the growth is normal?
What about the yellow white leave which looks like someone took a massive bite out of it?
You don't think its an infestation?

Thanks for the answer

To me it looks like the starter Leaf ( sucker ) they will fall off soon.
Other than that she looks normal to me but I'm know export. imp:

"Wow!
You are new at this.

Fading cotyledons are normal growth.

Google cotyledons.
You will find that cannabis is a dicot.
And that they are supposed to fade and shrivel after the "kickstart" phase.

It will continue as the "babyfood" is drained from them.
When they fall off, it's time to begin very light feeding.

While you are waiting, I suggest that you click the first link in my sig.
It has all the information that you need to become an exceptional grower.

You owe it to Jessica.

Aloha,

Yes its my first grow i'm a ultra noob
I feel like a mother and her first child, I'm always tripping out when I see something bad happening to my seedling baby
Thanks for the link it looks like I have a lot of reading to do

Thank you Weezard

yea the best thing to do is not to get stuck on a couple plants, pop a few more seeds if you have some.

the first few sets of leaves, eventually turn yellow then brown then fall off.. sometimes they go spotted or change colors even

several reason why they are growing slow
1. your pots are way too big for the seedlings
2. you have way too much light on little seed sprouts
3. your soil looks very harsh, seedlings like a very light fluffy soil to kick start the roots

If this helps you can use my grow log as reference, I just started it

I think the main, problem is the soil & pot, its just going to take a bit longer that all. other wise

ALL Looks GREAT!! Nice JOb!

oh yea since your in a big pot, when you water.. don't water the whole pot, just water around close to the stem a little bit, but do it more frequently, just don't use as much water and youll get better results. Basically what happens is in a big pot, there is too much space. so the water just flows right thru where there are no roots.

I've thought about cutting up a solo cup and pushing it into the dirt around the plant so when watering the water stays in a confined area, which would be near the roots. I have not tried this, but I have seen little dirt guard for sale in hydro shop. just be careful if you do try this, not to hit any roots so you would want to make enough of a clearing around the stem.
