Seedling stunted grow/drooping leaves

[Mani3kx]

Hello,
My Gorilla Glue potted in soil/perlite mix is growing rly slowly. One of the plants didnt grow for the past week and is rly small. They are 2 weeks right now. Supplemented with 1ml/L of rhizotonic. Yesterday i transplanted them to bigger pots. I was thinking if I didnt overwater them, but the "biodegradable"pots were drying quite fast. I watered them every morning. 18/6 light schedule on LED, thinking about switching to HPS already. Temp around 24deg all the ti me, humidity 50%+.

They look fine. What's the brown on the little fella? Soil?

Yeah there was a bit of soil on him, blew it off now. But also his veins and the small leaves near stem are a bit purple/red

That's ok. Normal for seedlings. I have some that do it too. No worries. Just let them dry a bit. The pots should be light before you water.

And what do you think about switching to 400W HPS ? Also in 1 week i think about transplanting to smartpots with desired final size 30l

I started a gorilla glue from seed and it was really slow to start but after a while of it being small it flourished and grew rapidly and now shes a big healthy mother plant

Break the bottoms off those peat squares. They don’t just rot immediately.

The problem is that roots went through the peat pots

That'll work, MH would be better lol. Just keep it off then for the first day or 2 before you put it close up.

@hotrodharley can give you heights.

My seedlings are younger and under a 400 watt MH 24” away. But it’s in an air cooled reflector.
