HBD right leaf curling 2days old helpp
Those are condelyons (first mini set of leaves from seed)... looks like a seed sprouting.... theres nothing wrong ...why dont you tell us what kinda lights you are using etc... because it sounds like you are going to need help! The more we know about what you are doing the better advice you will get =)

First thing I notice in THAT picture... nothing to air out your soil.... no perlite and whatever type of soil that is looks very "air tight" and plants need oxygen...

Nugs is correct when he says your soil looks "tight". You need to mix in perlite or something similar. It would help too if you gave us more details about soil and light type. We can't give you directions if we don't know what road your on.

So I was thinking teflon.... whats up with the rocks (river pebbles) on the top of you soil? Is there a benefit to doing that? (besides the fact it looks nice as hell!)

It was another attempt to control fungus gnats. I was using sand but it kept washing into the soil. The sand worked better at suffocating them, the rocks they just go right through. I guess at this point they are for decoration. Maybe they also are a little more light reflective than soil. I don't know at this point I know I spent 10 bucks on them so I guess I will chalk it up to interior decorating.

I thought maybe you found some way to use special voodoo rocks to increase your yields.... I was gonna say "GIMME SOME!" HAHA!
 
did you use that entire bag of soil and the entire bag of perlite with your mix?
I have been using MG organic choice garden soil. It is for amending top soil and has no perlite in it. I can buy a 1.5 cubic foot bag at lowes for 8 bucks and a bag of perlite for about 12. I mix and store it in a rubbermaid tote. I will also add a cup and a half each of bone and blood meal. I will run this heads up against fox farms ocean forest when I start the BHD.View attachment 1328508View attachment 1328509View attachment 1328510View attachment 1328511View attachment 1328513

There are 8 days old.. says it when you look at the picture :) I planted mine 30 hours ago and still not sprouting. I feel like they gave me duds... Hopefully I'll see some action soon. Your BHD's are looking good for some young guns. I know those BHD's of yours will turn into some monsters soon. Keep up the great work and Happy Growing :)

I always have the age of each plant as part of file name. It makes my pics easier to organize. Most of my girls are different ages I just started these six at around the same time for breeding. The two bigger plants above were 10 days old. #7and #8.

INDO did you put seed straight to soil if so be patient homie
Hey tattoo, first I just wanna say the buds you grew look amazing. I did not put them right into the soil, I did the paper towel method always 100% germination rate for me. I germinated them for 72 hours and got a tap root about 1/2 cm and planted it about 1/2 an inch. I am using 24/0 light cycle until its 2 weeks old then im going to switch to 18/6 to keep them short. This is what it looks like now 2 days after I planted it.BHD Day 3 (1-10-2011).jpg There is 4 23w cfls in my box. 2 are 2700k and the other 2 6500k. Lights are about 3-4 inches away. Tempature is 85F with 20% humidity.
