Yeah, i guess :dunce:

I'm thinking of it as a 3 week set-back, and still a good lesson learned. I'll personally only keep rockwool for any urgent clipping needs haha

Yeah I feel the same way. Hopefully we can both still pull something nice out of this learning experience

guys check this out
Thanks for that video! Mine aren't sitting on top of the bubbles it's further away then that.. Dr blaze suggested that I don't touch them so that's what I'm doing but I'm kind of hoping that they will grow down to the water even though it's still a bit far away... It's 5" net pots and the rockwool is close to the top

check out my thread, my plant keeps on getting worst, i want to learn about the successful method using this bag seed, because once i get my genetics seeds, i wont be trying things on that, please keep me posted with your updates, as im having the same issue as yours,

So far. Not sure what to think yet lol
i guess we have the same, but the rockwool looks good :) not soaking wet, and once a roots gets a little big the growth will do dramatically, i guess it looks better than before IIMO.

When a plant gets a deficiency the existing leaves will continue to look bad and will usually get a lot worse, even if you correct it. Only the brand new growth will look normal. And the new growth coming from the center of the plant does seem to look more normal (its hard to tell since its so small). I wouldn't change anything. It seems like its starting to pick up a bit of speed, I think you'll be much happier in a few days.

Good to hear thank you. Yeah I haven't touched nothing since I added nutes and it was a very light dose. My water with ph down was at 125ish and its at 235 with nutes. Fingers crossed :bigjoint:

The other looks a bit different. I feel better now that you've said the old growth doesn't matter but why does this one look so different

Well its hard to predict what sort of deformations will occur when a seedling has zero nutrient for a few days. Some phenotypes are hungrier than others and will suffer more, so the leaves may get a little more twisted up. As well this pheno just seems a bit different than the other, this one looks like it has narrower, more pointy leaves, while the other looks like it has wider and maybe bigger leaves. One may be taking after the mother more, while the other may look more like the father. With newer f1 genetics you can have a dozen or more phenotypes to choose from. It all depends on how long this strain has been around and how much the breeder has stabilized it. What seeds are these?

They were bonus seeds from a order had placed so I'm not even sure and they're more then likely different genetics. I didn't even think of that... I know this isn't the ideal way but I wanted to get a grip on things before I got good beans. But I definitely should I realized that was a possibility for the different appearances lol
