Greenhouse Seed Co. White Rhino Fem - Help, please. :)

I Dudes, misc here. I really need some help guys, im off to a bad start with this white rhino grow.


1 ) What Kind of plant is it, how old, clone or seed AND what stage is it in (veg/flower?)
2 x Greenhouse seed co. White rhino feminised seedling approximately 10-14 days old. Pictures below.
1 x Greenhouse seed co. White rhino feminised mature plant, a few months old. Such a small and scraggy plant.

2 ) Is it in Soil or hydro- and What kind/method?
Soil. Mature plant is in some decent quality potting mix BUT with time released nutes. Seedlings are in Richgro seedling and cutting mix.

3 ) Lights--what kind and what size, how close to the plants? Air cooled or not?
4 x 24watt Cool Daylight CFL's, plants are about 4" from the plants. Room is exhausted with a big fan, Box has two small computer fans for intake.

4 ) Nutrients (fertilizer)--What you are using, how much, how often and how you mix it!
No nutes for the babies yet, as theyre too young. The bigger plants has had a nice flush, and some 1/2 strength veg nutrients. Doesn't seem to have made any different. Still looks really unwell.



5 ) How much space with how many plants? Are all showing issues, or just a few/ONE!?
a lots of space for the 3 small plants.

6 ) What is your pH?
The larger plant is in soil of around 6.5 - 7 PH
the seedlings are in 7 - 7.5

Temperatures are a constant 24 degrees Celsius


The seedlings started off, healthy and dark green during their first days of life,
but have slowly gone pale yellow and one has developed small light brown spots. Could it be the slightly high PH causing some kind of nute lock out?


here are a bunch of pictures for yas!

thanks in advance for any helpo, it will be much appreciated, man!

1st of all the seedings are not in soil , thats not soil m8 , u need to water less maybe ? how many times have u water them until now ? originally it wouldnt need any watering still or in the worse case one time would be enough
 
hey bonjo. The seedling had only been watered once at that stage. Had transplanted into pots from rock wool cubes, where they germinated. They are in some 'seedling and cutting mix' is it not soil? would you call it potting mix?

Have you fed it yet? Any contrary to what was stated above YES seedlings DO need to be watered... I would just say that, that plant needs to be fed

Your plant is NEVER too young to be fed....... I start feeding the second they pop out the soil. Would you not feed a newborn baby? Don't believe everything you hear or read about growing. Believe about 5% of it

If that was my plant, for the hell of it I would flush the pot and then feed with 1/4-1/2 strength food and I'm willing to bet it will recover within a week
 
Hey max, thanks for popping in. Yeah man, i know that seedlings need to be watered haha. I make sure not to overwater them. Thats strange that you say that the plant is underfed, as i was told that it looks OVER fed on another forum. :s

i was also told that the soil is crap, because it has mulch/bark in it(which is apparently acidic), so i transplanted into some 3/4 debco premium organic potting mix and 1/4 perlite, will update with pictures in a few days. The new soil should have nough nutes to keep them going for a bit. hopefully this makes a difference,

thanks,

a lot of the soils with bark and sticks in it suck the nitrogen from the soils in the decaying process..its like compost..you need nitrogen to keep the decaying process going....to feed the microbes eating the veggie matter....same with mulchy soils....

Now if your going to fed the plant I would use fish emulsion at 1/4 strength...less chance of burning the plant....I like Neptunes since its cold processed and has lots to offer the soil also....

Hey tyson, thanks for the info mate.. I have some fish emulsion fertiliser that i plan to use for the 'vegging' stage of the grow.. the analysis of which is up above in one of the pictures (light green bottle). What does cold processed mean?
