Please help!!

Hello Guys!

I got this seedling on day 17 since it sprouted.

first water on week 1 I started with 50ppm of grow and protekt (50ppm runoff)
the water on the beggining of week 2 I notice the runoff increase to 120ppm and I water with 70ppm grow and protekt until the runoff comes 70ppm

On the day 15 I notice some nute burn on her and was a watering day so I Water with a 25ppm solution of Grow and Pro tekt until the runoff comes 30ppm. Now Im not seeing that she is growing too much.

Is that any problems with my plant?

Does it look like a healthy plant to you?

Im using RO water, I water with ph 6.1 and the runnof always comes 6.5 - 6.9, my temps go from 73 - 78, humidity 40% - 80%, Under a 50w white cfl.

here is she on 11 days old.


13 days old.


17 days old


16 days old with the nute burn. (maybe can be something else?)


Just to say that Im not freaking out, just want to have opinions.

I water her every week by the way.

Thanks a lot!

She looks health to me. Just leave it alone a little bit, she will grow nicely

Thanks for your response, but Im noticing the leaves bending a little bid down and the new grow yellowing.

In every photo the soil looks pretty wet. Give it some time to dry out it'll perk up. Probably just overwatered.

do you think I did good by lowering the ppm from 70 to 30?

Im probably the wrong person to ask that question but I may be able to help. What kind of soil are you using? There may already be amenities in the soil to feed your plants. I do all hydro and straight coco so I'm not to familiar with soils and what they consist of. I'm sure if you give some information on what you're using someone will chime in.

Im using sunshine mix 4

usually a good soil mix has plenty of nutes to carry a seedling along for several weeks,, all this flushing and ph ing of the water and soil is rinsing out the good stuff that was already in the soil,, she is having a rough start with all that watering and such,,,
most people I know that use a quality soil such as ffof dont ad nutes till the 4th week,, or longer depending on what is mixed into the dirt from the start

the yellowing you see looks like she needs a little cal mag to me

I know nothing about it. Anything below 100ppm is pretty low as far as nutrients are concerned. Get it dried out an go from there. Also I believe in soil most people alternate between feeding and straight water. I do that in coco an seem to be alright. So just a recap from my opinion, let it dry out, water it with straight water, let it dry out, hit it with light nutrients, let it dry out, straight water again and so on. This is how I do it in coco

i bought one of these,,, takes the guess work out of watering

yeah sure ! Im having fun so far. Thanks man

Let it dry well them start feeding it slow. You will be ok

Great advice from everybody its good to read all the right answers thanks after it has dried out I would only give it just water , this I think will give it a chance to take up the nutrients already present, allowing the roots to develop without odeing on already available food, she`ll sit still for a few days while she grows some fresh roots an burst into life on the next watering, The 2nd watering I would only use 1/4 strength of whatever your choice of fertiliser is. very weak solutions while young gives a better plant in the long run In opinion.

What I did on the last watering was lowering the ppm to 30. Them I will wait to let it dry
Thanks for the reply man!

Hello guys, not too much improvement here, day 19. Im still waiting for the pot to dry out. She seems to be yellowing more, also the tip burn still increasing.

Should I star over? What you guys think?
