Strange Looking Seedling?

[Swizzo]

Hi,

Just got into growing and was researching and found this awesome site. I keep getting lost in the tangent posts links but it's a good thing. I've learned so much from you guys. Can't wait to learn more.
Anyways, I built my own grow tent, 5x4x6 , only using a 12 watt led grow light and 2 60 watt cfl(18 watt usage bulb) bright white lights. Started a couple seedlings 27 days ago, white widow and apple pie. White Widow is growing beautifully. Apple Pie is looking weird from the start but was growing at the same pace as the White Widow until day 21. White Widow took off. My friend is jealous that it's taller than hers and mine is a week younger.

This is what Apple Pie looked like at day 14. I will supply updated pics tonight or tomorrow but I was wondering if anyone saw anything like this before.

It's great to find you guys and proud to join. I'm off til next time. Peace

That plant does not look healthy... I need more info like what type of soil, are you giving nutrients yet? and how often do you water? Ive seen this happen to one of my young plants from fungus gnats being in the room. they look like tiny little black gnats have you seen any of these?

I will take new pics in about 30 minutes( when it's time to turn the lights on). I'll try to upload them tonight. I have seen some nats flying around that plant and not my other. What are they from? How do I treat this? I killed a few with my thumb.

I'm using Dr Earth medium and just started using 25% strength Dyna grow Grow a couple times in the last 3 water treatments. Watering every 3 days. Transplanted to 3 gallon from solo cups 9 days ago. They seem to like it.

This plant looked like that, this pic here is at about 3 or 4 weeks old. It was all gnarled and crinkly looking. But it was growing... Just s genetic variance..

I asked about that plant, this is that thread. Check out the answers see if they satisfy you...

Re: Hi all!!! Swizzo is here

From my experience when my plants looked like that (exactly like that) it was fungus gnats. You have them because your medium is staying too moist.. in other words you are slightly overwatering them. to get rid of them get some yellow sticky pads from grow shop (gnats are attracted to the color yellow) and place some pads around your plants... this is for the adults. they lay eggs in your moist soil. so make sure your letting your medium get really dry before watering again and do this a few times like really let her dry out almost to the point of her wilting then water. Gnats dont like dry soil.

The babies eat your roots. Problems with the roots cause your plants to look like this

Re: Hi all!!! Swizzo is here

Sure toss it but it will keep happening no matter your genetics if you keep overwatering. Gnats love wet soil, and cannabis actually thrives in drought like conditions. so it likes to dry up before watering again

Yeah. I think I over watered for a week. I'll let er dry our real good and get those pads. Thanks for the

advice.

Re: Hi all!!! Swizzo is here

Is the yellow leaves from the over watering also?

Re: Hi all!!! Swizzo is here

I cut 4 holes in the white cups I use to start in. Knocked the fucking thing over tonight, spilled out. I replanted her. We shall see if I nursed her well enough to survive the spill. All because I was trying to kill a damn gnat!!!!!
