What's wrong with my plant?

[Original Kush]

I don't know what's wrong with my girl. She's been pretty bendy and her color isn't right.

Giving 24hrs of light
Fan is on
Watering 4x a day 6hrs in between each for 15mins with no nutrients (on a timer)
Humidity is in the 55% and Temperature is between 77-79 degrees F

Anyone with DWC/Bubbleponic knowledge please help.

what kind of light are u using? u may have to adjust your light

 

[Original Kush]

CFL its about 4inches from the plant

Ok, I am truly not trying to be an asshole.

You need to be growing in soil.

Since today is the MLB trading deadine, you have not been traded or even waived, but the front office has no faith in you.

I appreciate your input @greenlikemoney, but it's useless to me !!!

 

[greenlikemoney]

My input was that you need to grow in soil.

Sorry if honest assessment is frowned upon.

Seedlings many times have reddish or purple colored stems when they first pop up. Make sure the light is close enough and over to plant to make sure there is no stretching
or bending. Just focus on the new growth up top and the stem will straighten out, thicken up and grow towards the light.

4 inches is too far. I run mine at 2 inches tops and move it every day. Haven't heard much about seeds in hydro, but good luck. Lets see ur lighting?

 

[FresnoFarmer]

yeah..............soil

 

[Original Kush]

This is how I had it the lighting before, about 4-5inches between the light and the plant.



Adjusted the light to bring it closer, about 2inches between the light and the plant.




My next grow will be in [70/30] coco-coir/perlite mix, heard good things about it.

I have a feeling it may be the light. I'm seeing a lot of people are using more than one cfl bulb. I have everthing else going the right way. Hopefully it's the light. *fingers crossed*

how old is she? looks fine to me ! its a seedling

if shes 2 months old, id say you got problems....

The stretch is because the light being used not really powerful enough causing the plant to reach for the light,or the light being used is too far away causing the plant to reach for the light.
If it continues to stretch now that you have moved the light closer then you need a more powerful light before it bends over and snaps under it's own weight.


The fucked up leaf problem is because you're growing from seed in Hydroton pebbles and giving a delicate seedling far TOO MUCH WATER.
You need to be raising that seedling in just the rockwool cube with minimal hand watering until it has it's first 2 nodes or so and then transplant it into your pebble hydro system with much less water,the regime you are using is suited to full size plants. You only need to keep the rockwool cube moist and with a seedling that small if you put it into a humidity dome in my experience it would take around 4-5 days before you would need to moisten again.


These are a couple of mine at 20 days old from soil break in half pint party cups,yes they are in soil but even so they have only been watered 3 times in those 20 days.

She's a few days old.
