FIrst Grow, 7 day old seedling help, pics

[LittleBigGrower]

Look at what my idiot boyfriend did to one of the plants!! i told him not to fiddle about with the leaves, i leave him alone with them for one day and he knocks a leaf off!!!



Anyways... a lot has happeded in the grow room in the last 24 hours, the healthy plants are going strong but one of them are developing the same speckles as the seedling from my first post.




I now have another 5 NL plants germinating as we will be revamping our growroom so be able to sustain about 10-12 fully grown plants.

Here are the Day 9 pics of our lil plants:








And the specks on the plant in the first pics seems fine cept for the specks

LBG those seedlings need to be left alone. They are extremely delicate and are to be handled as little as possible. Go on and tell your boyfriend if he keeps it up he might as well smoke the lettuce in the firdge 'cause he's not gonna have anything else to smoke :wink:

I'm convinced as is Rellik that your seedlings are suffering from nute burn, and if you don't put them in normal soil now you should know you are risking stunted or sickly plants.

 

[Guest]

I think that's what I said too, lol

They are already stunted a great deal for nine days growth. I'll second or third the suggestion on new soil as well. That bone meal is really doing em badly.

 

[Guest]

sorry Cap, I left you out because I didn't want to step on your Miracle Grow toes :wink:. Wasn't sure if you were advising her to remove the seedlings and repot in normal soil. As I said before, I've never used Miracle Grow, they don't even sell it over here, but I have used preferted potting soil and nothing is worse for a seedling.

LBG, now that all three of us have decided you need to get those babies in normal non-ferted potting soil....get to it girl before those babies are compromised beyond repair!

We just handed you the solution to your problems....now its your turn and I'm sure you'll do a fine job! :smile:

LBG,

I believe that what everyone has told you so far is what needs to be done. That being said, I use a perlite, vermiculite and worm castings as my starter mix. I have found this to work well for me. Everyone has there preference, but never never use a pre-fert mix on seedlings. You run the risk of having what happen this time again. It's fine to use MG soil when you repot. The hardest thing to do when growing is to do nothing. Over-watering, over-fertilizing, handling them is what causes most peoples problems. So tell the boyfriend to lay off.

Good luck

Bones

One other thing LBG, If you want to get rid of the aluminum foil, just paint your wall a semi-gloss or gloss white. I had foil then switched. I saw no difference in my light readings.

Quick update:





These 2 pics are of our healthiest and biggest seedling, which is still growing quickly and has no burn :smile:







This one is still growing well and getting bigger quickly, but has some signs of burn on the leaves, although it doesnt seem to have affected the growth rate. Only the first set of ridged leaves have been affected




This one is the one that showed the burn first, and it has grown a bit slower than some of the others but is still growing steadily and the second leaf set leaves have no burn at all :smile:




This is our smallest plant, it has no burn and it is growing steadily, and looks as if it is catching up with the others.

Does anyone else have any pictures of 10 day old seedlings to compare these to please, because ive looked at some on here, and my seedlings dont seem to very stunted at all, despite the burn. It would be interesting to see how mine compare sizewise :smile:

I will post up some pics later on of the newly germinated Nirvana northern lights, some of them planted and some just germinated

Hi LBG, here's some pics of various plants and strains at the early stages.

Godzuki at 9 days:



Maple Leaf Indica 7 days:


Chocolate Chunk 7 days


Puna Budder 10 days (this is a mutated plant and a runt, but at 10 days she had a lot going on :wink


Master Kush 11 days


As you can see your seedlings are a bit behind, but that doesn't mean they won't catch up if you take care of them properly :smile: These seedlings were already in need of repotting from their small pots after 14 days.

 

[LittleBigGrower]

Were flushing the pots tonight, with plans to change the soil as soon as we can which should help the growth rate i hope! All the plants are growing steadily, none of them have stopped, but they are not as big as your ones. Thanks for the help blue :smile:

 

[LittleBigGrower]

Here are the pics of Day 12 of the little seedlings, DO they still look waaay too small for 12 days? or have they picked up the pace a bit?

We also cleared the whlole grow area, and painted the walls silk white this weekend :wink:

The NL were kind of a disaster Which was compleatly our fault. We Planted the seeds about a half inch below the soil cuz we were a bit paraniod after the first seeds were planted too deep (2 inches) with very poor germ rate. They had germinated and we let the soil get much too dry and dryed them out as with our first seeds we dident need to use seran wrap becuase 2 inches below the surface.

Now we have things sorted and with our next grow (Nirvana's Shiva) we will be planting the seeds 3/4 of an inch below the soil and using seran wrap to keep the soil moist untill the seedlings break the surface.

 

[Guest]

Hey LBG, how're your babies doin'? Just checking up to see if everything's going alright and if you need any help :smile:

 

[massass789]

i think they will be fine. next time dont use that kind of soil but by the looks of them they will be ok. just use tap water for a while and dont fertilize till they go into flowering. with that soil they should not need ferts while in veg. i water my seedlings everyday when i see the top of the soil dry and i water with tap water. dont touch them and mabey put a little fan in there to move the air around and it will turn out fine!

 

[LittleBigGrower]

:smile: Thanks for the interest blue. We have adjusted the light cycle to 24/0 to help speed up growth a bit and have been flushing the pots on every water to help rid the nutes.
Here are some of the pictures of the little things at Day 16:











It dosent look like those yellow speckles have actually effected the plants other than delayed growth around the areas where the specks are. There is no burn on the new sets of leaves developing, daily now it seems.

Here is the little guy that got his leaf snapped off, lol:



Here is a very strange little seedling, it seems that on one of the 5 pronged leaves, either side of the largest middle leaf appear to be growin with the underside of the leaf facing upwars. ther the two out of place leaves at the bottom of the pic just above the leaf that is furthest towards the bottom of the pic



So how do you think our plants are coming along? All your opinions are very much appreciated :smile:
I will be updating again soon, thanks for your imputs :wink:

 

[Guest]

They're coming along fine LBG. If you haven't changed their soil, keep flushing them, nothing but water for a while. Just let them do their thing without bothering them or fussing around them too much. I think they'll grow into their normal size a bit further along in veg. Don't worry about your "strange" seedling, its probably a bit mutated. Sometimes mutants don't grow as large as their brothers and sisters, many people kill them...I don't and there are good reasons not to.

My mutated Puna Budder started out like this:


Very small, slow growth. Now it looks like this:



As you can see it grew out of the mutation, more or less :wink:

You're doing a fine job, girl!

 

[Guest]

I have a deformed LSD that is 6 weeks in veg & 3'' tall / but as wide as the pot - so I am letting it go - A bud is a bud!

I think your babys look fine & all you have to do from here is don't over water or fert & you will get these to finish & have learned a great deal for your next grow /

Keep up the Growing - women growers are rare - but are typicaly good gardeners due to there mothering nature

All good Blessings on you & your crops

 

[LittleBigGrower]

lol, judging by what blue has grown looks like deformaties arent necceceraly a bad thing at all. Here are the lil plants on day 17 of thair journey up our closet, they seem to be pushing a new node per day at the moment with internodal growth just starting to show itself:









This is the seedling that had its leaf snapped off on day 8, it seems to be suffering from the spots much more than the rest of the plants:

 

[LittleBigGrower]

Need a quick bit of help guys, I know we asked this at the beginning of the thread but I have flushed the pots twice since (each time they have needed watering) and the problem of the little yellow spots still remains, they seem to start off a brown/grey colour and thean develop into bright yellow spots. They stay on the leaf for a while without effecting growth but thean it starts to stunt the leaves growth and make it really pale thean eventually become covoured with yellow spots and look dead:




Does anyone have a clue what exactly it is causeing this, what the plant may have too much or oo little of, so we can fight it better.
Thanks for the help.

 

[Guest]

LBG, you seem to have either a baby particularly sensitive to your preferted soil, or your soil had "hot spots", meaning it wasn't mixed well and that baby may be subject to higher concentrations of ferts. If you want to save her you need to put her in plain soil with perlite. If she's already losing leaves from overfert this early that's not a good sign and you need to do something about it. The problem won't go away by itself, and she may die before you've been able to flush enough of the nutes out of the soil.

Your problems so far in my humble opinion are to be attributed exclusively to your soil mix. Its the easiest thing to solve so don't despair...repot!

Aside from that it looks like the babies are catching up on their growth :smile:

That mutant of mine is a Puna Budder which I affectionately dubbed "The Moose". Found out this morning that it's female and I'm pretty happy about that

 

[Guest]

i disagree with miricale grow being ur problem, lots of peeps used to bash me for useing it...... i still am useing it. All of my yellowing problems originated with Bad tap water problems. High clorine, high PPM. I went out and got a RO machine, cured all of my yellowing problems..... don't let people scare you away from miricale gro.... just add a layer of perlite or pea gravel to the top of the soil to control gnat problems

 

[LittleBigGrower]

I dont think miricale grow is stated as being a problerm mike, its just we have a few of the seedlings that are experiancing some kind of nute burn that may be related to the bonemeal we added or the miricle grow soils fert mix. Im sure most plants would handle this fine but different setups have so much vairiation that pritty much anything could be causing the plants a problem.
Appreciate the advice blue, the problem is getting better on the new leaves that are growing and there are a few seedligs that are not affected by this at all so the ones that are, are just more sensitive i guess.
Congrats on 'The Moose' being female, hope u get some high quality bud from her!
