Seedlings bend from fan

[fatbuds420]

i was told to use a fan even on seedlings here. i put a small fan on the lowest setting, not very strong, still enough to bend my seedlings up side down....


i water with a spray bottle, dry the pot weights 77g, how much should i spray? rn i'm spraying when the pot is around 100/110g

Just let them establish first and point the fan in the air so that the air can circulate around the plant but not directly at it.

1 week ish

You don't point the fan directly at a seedling, regardless of the fan speed.

Not sure but that looks like it may be dampening off.
Hopefully not.
At a week old the leaves should be at least the size of the cup.

 

[MickFoster]

Damping off generally happens at the soil line......not that far up the stem.
I would suggest to the OP to stop spraying the plant.

What do u suggest I do?

 

[bluter]

suggest report back with
media
light
nutes
temp
environment - info

give us an idea of what you are up to, how you are geared up etc... until then it's a bit of a guess

 

[bluter]

have a look at this for an example

how to ask for grow support

good luck

150w bluprle
45x45 space
no nutes yet.
soil + perlite
temp around 20c

skunk auto

 

[bluter]

what type of soil , precharged, pro mix etc ?

at this point it should be an established seedling. it looks wet ( media ) so improper drainage leading to root suffocation may be a factor. if the media is too wet the seedling will not send roots deep either. cannabis like dry feet.

you also probably need nutes soon, or at least should have by now. depends on what is going on with that media.

the light is more than likely lacking. you can sprout under just about anything, a lot of burple led is lacking tho. would have to know more about it. i do my seedlings under a much larger light now.

Too cold, should try for about 10 degrees warmer, like 78 degrees.
Try to keep humidity between 60 to 70%
In the pic it looks over watered.

Looks drenched

And I don't think anyone said put the fan directly blowing on the plant

I never do that, even in flower, it's always bouncing off a wall or ceiling 1st, to just create airflow in the tent, like already mentioned

A good option is plant into clear solo cup, then put that in a colored one
Easy to remove clear, see roots or how wet it is

Mist the dirt, not the seedling. Or pour like two tablespoon of water on it, outside area of the cup

like i said dry weight is around 77g and i water when to like 120g, when it gets down to 100g, i water

drainage is good i'm using 40% perlite

150w is enough for one plant

yeah idk i find it rly hard to water seedlings indoors, i started outdoors in final pots and never had issues because of super high temps.

indoors it's harder to get it right...idk.

Just water less

Pretty easy

Lol

I've dried my rapid rooters out completely, add a bit of water, and they look fantastic

Don't over think it

how do know if it's not too little tho?

 

[BooMtoLate]

Roots will grow looking for water, you have to let it dry out.

 

[Chris Scorpio]

Again

Don't overthink it

2 tablespoons is plenty

I'll check my seedlings at lights on and before off

Don't over love them... Or you will kill them

ok, but what's the indicator i should be looking for when watering?

i heard weight is a good indicator. if dry it's 77g, should i water to like 120 and then water again at around 77?


i struggle a lot with seedlings, because a big plant will give you signs when it needs water, seedlings just die if something is wrong
