My issue is that I have 2 stunted week old sprouts around 2.5 inches and 1 inch tall. The small one is a little older and was transplanted into new soil when its original leaves started to yellow and curl, that has now stopped. Both have a set of true leaves and new tiney true leaves growing in. Both plants only grew vertically for the first day and now its just the leaves that grow. The taller plant has a purple stem and darkish green leaves. the short one has dark green droopy leaves.
Additional facts
-i am using a 25(40equiv) wat cfl at 950 lumens
2 inches away from plants
not sure if its soft or daylight bulb
-growing in a cupboard
-planted in redsolo cups with a drain hole
-soil is an organic mix for violets(not sure, was my friends soil)
However my friend uses the same soil for her plants, same basic setup and is growing fine. Her seeds and mine came from the same plant.
-watered 3 times; twice with tap water and once with water left overnight.
watered them a day after the top soil seemed dry
-my room gets kind of cold at night, around 22°C during the day (Canadian problems )
-they are bagseeds
I know its an awful setup but there is an issue stopping growth.
Could it be the cold causing the purple stem and slowed growth?
Maybe there was chemicals in the tap water?
Or it could be lack of proper lights?
Any input would be great, thanks
