My seedling are taking along nap

[windycitysmoker]

What's going on with this auto strain ? It's thc bomb auto and 5 out of 5 popped. They are at the single leaf I can see the new growth about to from its first set of three leaves hopefully soon , but shit it's been four or 5 days and they army doing shit . Ph 5.8 dwc ,rapid start, GH whole line IDK about this auto my bubblious took off and this auto is sleeping on me.

Ask the dwc community. They should be taking off, growing well...suspect issues I cannot comment on. Only do organic soil, both indoors and al fresco.

 

[windycitysmoker]

One two of them I helped the seed off of it and damaged two of them,I will post pics u can see a difference in growth from two days hold on

 

[windycitysmoker]

Two out of the five that got damaged but still growing ,but all growing slow, first pic two days ago it's missing the one leaf notice the grow tip it's small pic two today grow tip is bigger ,pic tree the leaf split helping seed off two days ago and today and one that's not damaged /light 18/6 mh 1000 watt there about three feet from it no stretching going on . Temps 86. It's growing just slow , strain thc bomb auto. Pics aren't in order but u can match them up that's two days of growth ,I hope they will recover o and there only 7 to 8 days old from germination

how far away is the water from the bottom of the cups? might be too wet/dry.

 

[windycitysmoker]

I got them touching the rockwool ,because I have no roots hanging out I don't want it to dry up on me, should I take some out and let them dry up ?I have never had this problem before , my bubblious took off.another question I have is because this is a auto strain am I fucked because it's off to a slow start or will they recover u think ?

 

[windycitysmoker]

Okay thanks I took them out and let them sit over night to dry out they are looking a little better

 

[SmokeyTheBear]

Shitty genes most likely.

 

[M.R.GT]

Just be patient and don't rush them. they will acclimate soon enough and lift off. They just got a little stunted when you beat them up. they should be fine.

Sometime this happens. More than likely they are growing underneath before they lift and then its on. Just stay cool and it will all be ok.

I wouldn't call them crappy genetics just yet.

Also you never said PPM's. What concentration are you feeding? Plants that size are still using nutrients they had in their seed. And I wouldn't start feeding yet

This. You shouldn't give autos any nutrients until they are at least on their second set of leaves. Personally, I don't feed mine until they're on their fourth set. Even then, i give them a shot at half strength.

 

[windycitysmoker]

Ppm is at 400 , it comes out the sink at around 180. Nutes is rapid start and florablend. Strain is THC bomb , from bomb seeds I don't think its shity genes, my nirvana bubblious loves the way I have it set up , so does the spoetnik , paradise , but the thc bomb didn't respond well . I'll post pics

 

[windycitysmoker]

 

[windycitysmoker]

Big plant spoetnik 38 days old from seed, smaller ones bubblious 13 days old no streaching at all, now growing the thc auto bomb same way , here's a pic at about 9 days old ,I'm thinking it didn't respond well to the dwc and was drowning IDK that's why I'm asking u guys for advise

Are u using a dwc ? I'm only using rapid start and florablend which promotes root growth, I'm not using the 3 parts yet

think this might have stunted them.

I grow DWC go over your setup. Do you have a top feed? Are the bubbles splashing on the bottom of your rapid rooters. Tap should be out of the rapid rooter by now. 400 ppm should be ok with your water at 185. pH 5.8 is fine.

The biggest problem you face with them being to damp is the seedling damping off. I have never had this problem with rapid rooters as long as they don't stand in water shouldn't be a problem. They are supposed be designed to prevent this.

If they are going to grow they will just be patient and do not over analyze the situation. just keep everything within specs and they will grow sometime they just start slow.

Yes on the bubbles touching the net I use 4" air stones and got a big pump, I do think your right about stunning them , this is my first auto of of the five seeds I help two seeds of the leaf 3 of them I didnt fuck with .i think I should of let it establish a root system before I put them in the dwc, and I had the rockwool half way submerged into the water. I also think that with no root system to really take in the O2 that they were drowning .i might be wrong next time I will allow a root system to come out of the rockwool before placing them in the system. Yes I know they will recover but my main question is if my strain says 65 harvest from seed am I losing valuable time with this slow start ?meaning in 55 days is all I have left? Idk I never grow a auto strain thanks for everyone input

 

[M.R.GT]

Its hard to say how the stunting will impact but I would guess they will run from the time they start to grow again within the breeders specified time lines.

Should be simple enough to just let them run a harvest by tric color. Breeder specs are basic guidelines to a degree and each plant will finish close to but no exactly within those constraints. Start checking them around say 65 from seed and harvest by color for what you like clear, cloudy, amber or a combination of these.

Try not to stress to much over the little shit. the plants will tell you when they are done. Best guess would be from 55 to 65 days from NOW. Start the clock.LOL

Thanks every one for your help I appericate everyone's input, they are doing much better and I'm starting to see roots come from the cup

 

[windycitysmoker]

They got a lot better.roots are coming out of the net cup ,and working on its true first leaf .I should see a big turn around in a week, thanks every for helping me ,and offering great advise instead of telling me I'm working with shity beans and junk genetics I love imag I know I can allways turn to the community for fast accurate reliable help
