These Are My Last 3 Good Seedling. Im Trying Not To Kill Them... I Put Them Under 400watt Mh 2 Days After They Sprouted. They Are In Coco Pods. I Have Them In A Ebb & Flow System But Its Not On.. Im Watering Every Day In A Half By Hand. My Question Is When Should I Turn On The Ebb & Flow System And When Should I Start The Nutes Also Should I Start The Co2 Now I Have A Tank And Regulator... I Have Fox Farm Nutes And The Seedlings Are 1 Week Old..... Thanks In Advance

Why are you putting new little babies under your 400 watt light? Just use a couple of two-foot, twenty watt floros until they get several sets of leaves. Home Depot sells "plant lights" in their lighting section. Just get the floros intended for use with house plants. Did you use RockWool? What's under the GroRocks? Also, if you want to kill the rest off, use nutes now. ~lol~

Its not to late to switch lights.

Think of how it is out there in nature. A seed falls from a pod and lands on the ground. That little plot of ground is shaded by trees and foliage. The wind blows a few scraps of leaves over the seed and the morning dew keeps things nice and moist. There is little, if any light on the seed ... just warm moisture. Once the seed sprouts, the tap root starts heading underground looking for more water. Once the first set of leaves starts forming, the seedling starts looking for more light. It finally breaks through the debris on the forest floor and walla! ... sunlight! Still under the shade though. As the plant gets larger, more leaves are formed, the plant gets taller ... and the leaves are able to take in more sunlight. Eventually, even after a dark beginning, the plant grows into a twenty-foot Sativa. You smoke some and it knocks your socks off. Hmmm ... I think I just smoked some of that. ~lol~

They love t5s. when they get a foot tall switch to your 400 and hang your 400 high then gradually lower

I don't understand, are you watering twice a day or once? are you adjusting the pH? use the system that's what it's for... There should of been instructions for the nutes, If your seedlings are 1 week old and look like that then they have not grown since sprouting. Your plants don't look like they a suffering from heat burn, which would cause your leaves to curl up. It looks like shock, or root rot but since you are using coco I'm leaning towards an unbalanced pH. You want it at around 5.5.my tap water was at a pH of 8 so test your water!

LoL. There is no problem with ur seedlings and definately not in shock..They dont need nutrients until more nodes are formed and They don't need that much light at such a young age.. If u have no other option, put them away from the MH, in the corner or something so its not so intense and Just let them grow!

Don't stress a leaf curling, or a little burn..

If the top is green, its still growing..!

Hope this helps!!

So is the the green lettuce in my fridge also growing?
I don't this character has ever grown. plants that don't have any sign of growth each day are in trouble and need attention.

Hope this really helps

And the ph with coco is higher than 5.5, it should be in the 6.o range. Coco needs a higher ph or else it will lock up.

Well im not using my ebb&flow system yet as i think they are too young so im feeding by hand with distilled water and i dont check the ph of the distilled water guess i should from now on can i use ph up or down in the distilled water to balance if needed? i have now moved these seedling from the 400mh to the t5 light just 24 hours and they seem to be improving since the move..... im trying some bag seeds in the cups the stems are very very long and growing i burried them in the cup of coco moss. any suggestions please....thanks
