seedling

this sprouts are 18 days old

is everything ok im not sure but i think they should be bigger what you guys think??

Yes i think they should be bigger, get your lights closer and put a small fan on them

They look good though.

You can see mine at 15 days in my sig.

Doing good. One is a little lanky but that's probably from pregerming in darkness. Keep your lights on them and check on them daily. You'll be fine.

That soil is shit and you need closer/stronger light. go easy on the water.

Next time, I'd rec starting out in smaller containers. Your soil also looks like it could use perlite. But they look fine.

Everyone does things a little differently. I like using Miracle Gro Seed Starting Mix to germinate, but then I switch to regular potting soil by the third or forth week. I typically grow 4-6 at a time using a single 200w CFL bulb and I keep the light about three inches from the top leaves, adjusting the distance daily.

Yes there small . I'm a newbie to mine were much bigger these are 12 days look at the difference

roots are not big enough to suck up all that water in soil. alot of soil = alot of water held in it. Let the soil dry out and dont soak all the soil only water a bit when a seedling and in big containers.

when do you start count from whut point

the lanky ones you can add more soil to
all help you got is lagit

i normally start in red cups a little over 1/2 filled with starter soil - i add soil as they stretch
you cant controll stretch till plant has real leaves (even with lights close)
i give just water for first 2 weeks and keep under flouresent grow bulbs and T5's

at time for food i put under stronger bulbs


guys it looks so wet cause he just wet thrm up
if plants were kept that wet all the time would be bad for them - and would show through the clay pots - you think

gluck

Kinda small for 18 days. I'm on Day 4 and mine are at least 2x bigger. What is your light source?

2X125w cfl

How big is your grow space? That is a small amount of light. As I said, I'm on Day 4 and mine are much bigger. They are under a 150w HPS.

To anyone reading this thread, please start seedlings in solo cups.

Nothing wrong with his containers. I start in one gallon. I could just as easy start in 20g only it would be a waste of space and soil. Using regular potting soil however can stunt plants. Not keeping the light close enough causes lankiness. Over watering causes root root and nutrient deficiency problems.

More light and no nutes

I just added more lights but i have a question now my plants got delayed 2 weeks or so do i add 2 weeks for harvest time or the plant only have 100 day life cycle?
todays pic update

I started my seedling in 1l pots and they are around the same size having only popped up on Sunday. Try watering the edges to encourage the roots to go searching for the water.

guys i want to buy super lemon haze seeds but there isn't any all seed banks are out you guys need to go easy on the seed maybe there is some people buy more seeds than they need and hide it for other people don't get guys you need to smoke less weed too much is not good there is a lot of people now smoking weed and not enuff seeds i just want 2 seeds i will make them mothers

You can just add 2 weeks to your veg time which can be as long as you want, you have no control over the flower time, only your plant will tell you when she's done

Nothing wrong per say, it is just that with larger containers plants dry out quicker when they are young so you end up watering a lot more. When you water it eventually sinks to the bottom of your container, and if your plant's root system is only a few inches when it is young, it will not get as much water if you started in say, a Solo cup.
