greetings!
i am just into my second set and i am having what i feel are going to be some (ongoing) horrible problems.
i dropped 4 crop king auto NORTHERN LIGHTS and 2 crop king fem WHITE COOKIES to germ and all 6 of them sprouted, but the 2 WC were a couple of days behind. that was on march 5th.
the 4 auto NL came up ok, but one of them was slow and never caught on. just sort of shriveled and died.
the 2 fem WC never broke ground despite having the same treatment as all the others. odd...
so i was left with three plants. as of today, they look pretty terrible. over a month old and they are tiny.
so on march 26th, i dropped the last 3 auto NL seeds i had and here they are today.*
you can see the ones that are about 10 days old look nearly the same as the older ones. i've used only RO water with a small dose of calmag. no nutes up til yesterday when i did the most basic GH.
i think i might have let the temp get too low a couple of times in the first few days or week. my first experiments were amazing! i started at the end of april last year, and i think that doing it at the start of march made a big difference. i have a 4x2 tent with a MARS 900w led light. i have tried to do everything the same as my first grow, but i do feel i have got off to some possibly insurmountable issues.
* the second set of three haven't had a temp swing on any night and have been in the 68-78 range their entire life.
if anyone has any thoughts or ideas, i would appreciate it. since these are auto flowering, i have no idea what will happen to them. if the cold shocked them, maybe they are stunted?
also, if anyone has experience with crop king, i wonder if it is worth it to reach out to them?
6 out of 15 seeds have been no good. 2 didn't germ in the first batch and one died small, and 2 never came above the surface and one shriveled and died in the second. but maybe it's me!
