2 week old Og Kush seedlings

[Alfonso42'0]

Do my 2 weeks old (since i put the seeds in a glass of water) seedlings look okay?
Also I put coffee grounds arround the plant, or is it too early? The ph level is at 6.0-6.5

Healthy but extremely small for 2 weeks.
Here's a comparison.

Good luck with your grow.

Thanks! I mean it's been 2 weeks since i put the seeds in a glass of water.
The seeds were in a glass of water for ~24 hours and then i placed them in a wet paper towel for 48hours, then i planted the seeds. So I planted the seeds 10 days ago.

How long since they sprouted?

9 days ago

Not too bad for 9 days.
The age of a plant starts at sprout......using this as your starting point will prevent confusion.

Coffee grounds are an amazing source of organic material, that can help your cannabis plants survive and thrive by providing them with many minerals they require for optimum health and happiness. Coffee grounds are also acidic, so they are particularly useful in alkaline soils. Coffee grounds in your cannabis garden boost the health of your soil and vibrancy of your plants.
i use dolomite to even the acidity in my soil, and it helps to absorb all the good stuff from coffee grounds

Have you added water since you've added the coffee grounds?

Coffee grounds are highly acidic and high in nitrogen... I can imagine a sprinkle of grounds around a mature, vegging plant. But on a plant your size, I'd be surprised if the grounds dont fry it, or at least cause some burning.. especially if your medium is an amended mix

Yes

Then it’s 9 days old and looks ok. Go by when it pops dirt for future reference. That way we’re all comparing the same thing.

well i also added dolomite which should lower the acidity and help the roots to absorb the coffee grounds. i really hope its gonna work..

Have you done research or can you post the info you read that says this is a good idea for cannabis?

Well, for right now, it looks happy and healthy.. so that's a plus

Just dont over water (your medium looks very wet). IF your plant does start to show signs of issues, you dont want to have to make guesses at causation between pH, nute burn, or drowning roots.

If everything else is on point, it's a lot easier to pinpoint and remedy issues that can pop up. Good luck!

That’s why I was worried about the coffee grounds what if there’s an issue? Is it the coffee grounds? Then what? Pick them out?

There's a lot of information on the internet on using coffee grounds as fertilizer on your plants.
I took used coffee grounds, washed them once more and dried them overnight. That should have made the coffee grounds less acidic. I springled coffee ground on top of soil and then added dolomite (lime) to lower the acidity. I've also read that it also helps the plant to absorb nutrients from the coffee.
And yes, I think i've done that a little bit too early

 

[Wattzzup]

That’s what I would be worried about. It’s like trying to flush bone meal. You can’t!
