Hello friends and fellow Growers. I'm finally turning myself in. I need your help and advice! I've been trying my very first indoor grow since January and have gone through a few seeds. I'm proud to say that I am a germination pro and have been able to successfully germinate 11 out of 12 seeds. Unfortunately my hang-up is I cannot get a successful seedling stage out of any of my little lovely plants. The first batch I realized I had them in too large of a pot. 5 gallons. Big no no. They didn't grow up they grew down. The Taproot was pretty long. After about two weeks the little seedlings froze in time and then went from green to Grey then died. So sad. My next batch is doing a little better but I am starting to see the signs of going from green to Yellow. I hope you all can help me. I don't mind starting up a new batch and these little ones dying as long as I learn from their deaths. The info is below and I have also uploaded pictures. I'm aware that I have low-grade soil mediocre-at-best but I learned in my readings that beginning soil should not have a lot of nutrients in it. Am I wrong? I plan on working in FF's trio of nutes after 3 week but never get to a healthy looking plant after about 2 weeks. I also know I should get a soil pH tester. I think I have nutrient deficiency especially nitrogen at this early stage but I'll let you all tell me what you think.
I'd like to add that compared to the pictures I've seen my plants are growing really slowly. This is my first grow so maybe it's just an Autoflower thing but the two that I know are not autoflower aren't growing quickly either. Maybe some of the guys on the year have pictures of their seedlings that are cut clones so the leaves are a lot more developed than mine straight from the seed.
What Strain is it? Amnesia Haze autoflower, Jack Herer autoflower, Train wreck autoflower, lemon kush bag seed, and an unknown strain bag seed.
Is it Indica, Sativa or Hybrid? What percentages? All of the above.
How Many Plants? 6 total. 2 just popped the surface. No issues yet with the 2 babies.
Is it in Vegetative or Flowering Stage? Seedling.
If in Vegetative Stage... How Long? In the picture are a 29 days old
If in Flowering Stage... How Long?
Indoor or Outdoor? Indoor.
Soil or Hydro? Soil.
If Soil... What is in your Mix?
Regular potting soil from a gardening super store with 1/3 vermiculite
If Soil... What Size Pot? Small cup then moved to a 3 gallon pot after 3 weeks
Size (Wattage) of Light? How Many?
Is it Air Cooled? 1st batch was under 600 watt led veg setting. I thought I was burning them so I now have a 300 watt led vegger.
Temperature of Room/Cabinet?
2x4 grow tent with vents. Highest temp is 78 degrees right under light. Small desk fan used as well. I have light over 2 feet away from plants. Scared to burn them again. They aren't stretching either.
RH of Room/Cabinet? Usually 50%
PH of Medium or Reservoir? Great question. I need a soil oh tester.
Any Pests? None that I see except once I saw a small black gnat-sized bug around the side of the pot. Never saw it or another bug again. I've turned up some of the I've turned up some of the dirt just to check and found no pests
How Often are you Watering? I water a few drops around the plant every 3 - 5 days. I stick my finger in the dirt to check for dryness.
Type and Strength of Fertilizers used?
None until after 3 weeks. The little leaves are turning yellowish grey. So just 1 application of FF's grow big 6-4-4 and big bloom 0-0.5-0.7 a couple days ago trying to save them.
Size or Square Footage of Room? 2x4 grown tent bought on the interweb :0) .
Sorry for such a long post but thank you in advance everyone!!!
