Hey guys! Thanks so much for having me!
I am new to the growing community and this is my first plant. I am currently two weeks into the seedling phase and am experiencing some problems, and am praying that someone can help me out, or at least calm my fears, haha.
First, my problems:
My first pair of leaves look burnt to hell, my second pair of leaves don't look burnt, but rather dark, and are curling up/canoeing/etc. Noteworthy: The underside of the second pair of leaves is purple.
OK, so here's what I got going on in the tent:
I am growing her in a tent, and for the first two weeks the temp was dead on at 68 degrees F, with absolutely no fluctuation, and the humidity was anywhere from 50-60%. I am using about 3 parts FFOF and 1 parts Perlite as my medium in a 5 gallon pot. My lamp is a PlatinumLED P450.
Here's where I think I went wrong:
Based on the first two leaves looking burnt as hell, I am going to deduce that FFOF was too hot for my seedlings, or the lamp was too close to her (even though it generates little to no heat).
I believe I put her in a pot too large for her; In these two weeks I have only been able to water her twice...with the lack of heat being generated from an LED lamp and the lack of her size, the soil just doesn't lose moisture that fast. (My thinking was less transplants: less stress)
I also believe it is too cold in the room for her; she seems to be growing slow, which probably could be from any of the things I did wrong, but I am wondering if 68 is way too cold?
So, here I am, at your feet, asking for help, because I am clueless as what to do next! Does this mean my plant is screwed? I hope not! Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you guys so much!
If those pictures do not help enough, I can absolutely upload new ones.
(Please no insults or anything negative, I get it, I'm new - I'm just trying to learn a new hobby and hopefully one day have a green thumb like you guys!) Again, thanks so much for all the help.
