So basically i am new to growing and learning what i can as i progress. The problem is that the starter (i forgot scientific name) leaves have started to yellow and the leaves are starting to droop. I would like to nip this problem before the bud :)

I am growing in coco coir, under a 200w dual cfl
the seedlings were healthy and strong some days ago, i believe i used cider vinegar and never knew that the ph would raise back up a day later...to around 8.2! so now using lemon juice to ph down..the light position was closer to the plants when i noticed the problem so i have moved that higher also.

I have been using seaweed extract now and again (every few waterings) from what i have researched that is not harmful to the seedlings as such, right?

Today i changed pots to 1liter ones and added some worm poo juice, rock dust and seaweed. Will see how it progresses from here

Any helps much appreciated

here are pictures of the two little ones in question.

hey Herb,
Basically everything ur doing is stressing the plant, so do nothing and plant should flourish.
For the 1st week of a plants life it needs water, air and light but only in small amounts so
water plant half strength solution once or twice a week, keep light 2 foot high and let plant breath.
Roots also need plenty of air so make sure pots have holes for drainage. :weed::leaf:

Cheers Vertical,

Its been over a week already but i will take the advice and just use water around 5.8 to 6.3, yesterday was the first time using fertiliser as it was a new pot i wanted to help with nute uptake because of the ph unbalance 2 days prior.

They are perking up some today and i have heard that those leaves can turn yellow and wilt anyways!

And yes have drainage holes

so will sit back and see how they do for a few

200w grow light?to be real you need an hps system.with that light you may not get even a 1/4 ounce dry flower if that

Maybe it needs more seaweed

And lemon juice

And worm poo rock dust cider vinegar

It seems a little small still............

do yourself a favor: get some nutes for coco (house and garden, canna, etc). get some real pH up and down. and probably some cal/mg too.

elephant jizz and eye of newt are for witches potions, not weed.

haha, growing organically! it produces the cleanest medicine
found the topics on here now there is a place just for organics, it's been helpful to say the least

so now i know, not to add too much stress, not to over water the babies and what to feed them

As for lighting i am gonna stick with CFL's, and increase as and when i need them. Its pointless to waste electricity!

I grow 100% synthetic. In 1997 my weed was analized and found with no impurities. I got popped with a qp but by the time I got to court the prosicutor was informing the judge that i was found with a small amount of mj. I recieved a $700 cheque and a letter wishing best of luck in future endeavors:)

what sort of testing was done? Having grown and tasted both ways in vegetables i can honestly say organic triumphs. So why should it not with Cannabis?

haha funny story tho bird :)

In todays world if they can prove that a person is using a chemical etc to enhance pot growth that is known to cause health problems we all know that the police labs are looking for this. Any criminal negligence aids the courts in how much time they can give you. I had some complaint that the reason the weed was so good was because I was using chemicals which was all bs.
