Ya soil looks too dry in all pots, id assume this isnt so much nute issues but water issues in that the plants look half parched.

Water when a little less dry and see if they stop shrivelling and start sucking, of course you may have fucked them in other ways but it simply looks like a bad practice problem.

Im assuming thats soil not coco :-)

Cheers for the reply, No it's not coco it's Jacks Magic mainly peat but I've added a bit off perlite and Vercumilite, I feed them around 10mls on the morning and 10mls on the night I last fed them at 6 this morning A*B 1ml off each in 1Litre am only feeding them small amouts with them been seedlings then move up as they get bigger.

yer thats why they be all twisted and shrivelled, water allow to dry couple days then water again. Ten mls will wick so far from the roots it wont even be available in that volume.

Dont listen to others just use soil like the rest of us do, if you want smaller waterings use smaller pots but for a hps they should need watering every two days easily...

Cheers for your reply, I've just gave them a good watering not to damp just to make sure is moist enough, I have been using soil I've used it for the majority off my grows can't be chewed with messing about with that coco and doc farm soil it to expensive, Even if it is healthier for plants, I'm on a budget here lol

Purchased some Canna A+B yesterday paid for next day delivery turned up today, My seedlings are 2 weeks old I've just mixed 1ml of A and 1ml off B into 1 Litre off water and going to leave it overnight then feed in the morning, Quick question can I just feed my plants this throughout their veg and flowering period?

Also am I ok with giving my 2 weeks old seedlings it? With the dose I have mentioned 1ml off both and just give each seedling 10ml off the solution out off the litre bottle each?

Yes.

Bro, I’m smoking reclaimed wax. I think I’m more baked.


Yes, you can feed just Base nutrients, that is what I’m doing, although, I did add a ml of Roots Excelurator during veg and transition, and now I’m using about 3 ml of flower enhancer during flower.

For seedlings, I’d use 1 ml of Base nutrients and that’s it.

My soils are more soiless they just run like soil due to the high peat content. A lot of control can be gained once well rooted. They have plenty of air spaces imo but produce anerobic or bad conditions if damp too long.

Ferts will be signalled by a general paleness that will green up after ferts, anything similar is probably bad practice and ferts arent a issue yet favouring root growth not max uptake.

Try to get a water dry system stabalized, go wqter next time or so then 1 ec or third strength and hope your plant is growing by then.

Seedlings be tricky, you want to do the least possible then walk away, wind bad air circulation good. Under them lights they should dry in two to three days in ideal world. Wait for pot to be light not dry then water.

No real advice just general stuff and in time hopefully she come round :-)

Cheers for your advice buddy, I have them a bit more feed than usual so the roots can grow they are about 70-80cm away from my 600hps they do dry out quick though but then again I don't feed them a lot it was around 10ml morning and night,I made some more A+B up earlier on 1ml off each to a litre off water just to get them up and going hope this solves the problem, I'll post updates on this thread.

Just water dude.
All it wants.
Did you overfeed?
If your humidity isnt extra low.
Then it just wants a drink.

Ease off on the nutrients.
Let it grow a couple more nodes first.

Looking healthy otherwise.
:peace:

Cheers bud, I've just give them another dose off Nutes before reading this lol, The soil dries out quick as fuck, They responded well to the dose a gave them yesterday seem to have grew a lot more over night saying they a have got r light on 24/7 just to get them off the ground, Then I'll put them in 18/6.

Already have put a few more seeds in mate a put another 5 white rhino and northern lights mixed yesterday, Out off the Mango Autos I got off MSNL NONE GERMINATED! Was fucking foaming! But all the other ones have popped up and they sent me 10 because i emailed them saying that the 5 I bought didn't germinate and they sent another 5 out that didn't germinate to, Shite quality but the white rhino I bought and the freebies they sent have both done better than the ones I bought, I don't like the way they they send the seeds aswell just in nip bags whereas where I've bought off other sites Nirvana Royal queen seeds and Sensi seeds they have all came well packaged and have sprouted and grown well, Rant over time for my wake and bake haha
