OKay, it looks to me like Im having the same issue that I had before :sad: I thought fot sure that I had problems with too many nutes in the soil, but these guys are planted in coconut coir pellets which, I believe have no nutes at all?? The only think I can think of is some kind of heat/ventilation issue. I dont have any ventilation and the heat stays around 80 degrees. I can't get past the seedling stage and I dont know why.

There are some great quiality pics attatched, could someone please be so kind to help me out?

Id love to be a bigger part of this community but Its hard to learn when I cant get past the first stage.

+rep for help :smile:


THESE SEEDLINGS ARE 12 DAYS OLD!!

wateredonce a day with about a tablespoon of spring water.
under 6 26W cfl's (there were 2 per plant, my third girl died fast)
Rh- about 37%
temp - 75-85 degrees.

i would just use good PH water and soon it should get better, 80 degrees is good but dont let it get in the 90s (95 would kill it) and put a fan in their.. Ive had the same problem when i started but in MG soil.

does Rh 37% mean humidity. Sorry dont know and if so ive read that it should be higher around 60 70%.. what you got their might be for flowering.. thats what ive read

Under those lights I bet the temp gets to above 92 degrees even with cfl's which will kill mj or stop it from growing. If you want to grow you have to fix your heat problem with intake air from outside or try a wall mounted/window AC. Also try a little less water. MJ likes a good amount of water then let it dry a little. Try watering every 4 days instead of a little every day. And give em a good drink my man.

You will never be successful unless you get some sort of ventilation besides light it's one of the most important thing's to make sure you have.. Is this in a closed off room ? if they are take them out and see if that makes a difference in a DAY OR 2...Good luck PEACE

you only give them a tbs of water? With no vents? You're cooking your plants bro and you should have put them in a party cup or something bigger than what you have them in (egg carton? Poke holes in the bottem and water it until a little water comes out the bottem and it won't dry out so much and quick, deffinetly get yourself some fans and where are you growing them? Closet? Grow box? If you can leave the door open and have a fan on the floor blowing in the room/closet/box. It will cool it down a bit. Hope this helps

get a fan. its will make them stronger. water every 3-4 days when watering give them a good drink. raise or lower your ph level to 5.7 in veg 5.9-6.0 in flower. If you dont have a ph tester get one its a must have. parts per million(ppm) tester is a must as well. check all water before you feed.nute in soil is good to have most soil with nutes in it are good enough for seedlings. fox farm is good thats what i use. you can grow with cfms buti would think about getting better lights as well. ventalationis a must as well speicaly in flower, it will get strong smell not easy to hide from others.

Im growing in a closet, I dont have to be stealth so I will try opening the door. Only problem is I have a cat so either the office or closet door must stay closed. I can only water them 1 or 2 tablespoons b/c the pots are so small so yeah, I think ill get some party cups. I thought that coconut coir just naturally dried fast but it may very well be the heat drying out such a small pot super fast.

do you think I could benefit from some kind of moisture dome or should I just start over?

Thanks for the help. +rep

I don't think you need a dome. Make sure your pH is good and you may need to start feeding. Start off slow, like 1/4 strength and work your way up. Transplant them into something bigger ASAP and you should be golden. ;-)
