Stunted seedlings? Never seen this.

I've had seedlings that didn't do well, but these are different. They are 12 days from beginning germination. They are 3-4 inches, have ok roots, second set of real leaves, and look healthy. The thing is, they have been just like that for at least 3 days. My seedlings (Northern Lights) are usually taking off like crazy at this point. I can't see anything wrong. Temps etc have been fine. I went ahead and started light nutes today. I don't know what to think. I wish I could be sure they would catch soon because if they don't I'm losing time. BTW, this is indoor, DWC under 250w MH. Any thoughts?

I would let it go another 4 or 5 days before I freaked. As long as they look healthy.

Perhaps the batch you are running is not as genetically sound as your last batch. On a good note you said they looked healthy.

to soon for nutes. a pic could help us. as long as you fix what wrong they usually grow again just veg her for a longer period of time.

I interested in seeing pics too (for learning....not advise...lol) Growing Marijuana, even though they are weeds, is pretty damn difficult.

Same problem here. but mines some purp. couldent get it to grow anymore and now the leafs are turning yellow. i have no idea what to do, as iv done as much as i can think

thats why u need to do ur hmwk and do lots of reading.

soil. got a mixture going on between soil, compost, and alittle sand.

Dont feed. Too early will mostly burn and make the root cause worse

I actually think thats whats happening to mine. i gave it a tiny bit of bloodmeal to put nitrogen in the soil. guessing it was a bad idea. can i flush it out? and if so how do i do this? i want to save it before its to late

Here's a pic, they all look pretty much the same. This is day 13 from STARTING germination. Like I said, they look healthy, but seems to me they should be further along than this.

Oh yeah they should be further along bro....figure ur problem out and start over, in my opinion? Too many variables.....You cant just grow weed! You have to do homework and research, or u will continue to struggle??
Good luck!

I've been doing this for years. I posted it because I've never seen it with them looking healthy and with no apparent cause. I know what I'm doing.
