in a jam

[trapper]

i have a bunch of seeds 2 weeks since sprouting they are showing signs of needing food,i dont have my regular stuff and i cant get to town for a few days,what i do have is some 5-15-5 larters root booster i use for transplanting and some pure blend veg guano and super thrive,does the larters being low in ntrogen make it a bad option for a seeds first feeding,any help aprietiated.i also have some 20-20-20 that i use outside and in a jam.

the leaves are turning a light green like neon,so i am suspecting they need food,but i also noticed late last night a bunch of webs crisscrossing the pots,with little black spiders scampering about you can see them all over,but they are not under the leaves they just seem to be building webs i am going to spray them now i don't think their spider mites because these are easy to see and under a scope they are black with 2 body parts the mites i have seen before were really hard to see more red and a few spots on the back,

oh ya the soil is pro mix 4.

There r different types,but check with a mag glass or scope under the leaves for eggs or any other signs.....u want to confirm ....u dont want those

is that stuff pre nuted ? if not then go ahead with the weak 20 20 20

Need nitrogen but still very early for nutes. Emm probably your spiders causing the damage. I,d do a clean up and start again.

thanks but im not sure i want too throw away a 1000 dollars in seedlings.thats a bit expensive and then to wait to order more,nope has to be a better answer.but thanks.

 

[dannyking]

1000 dollars in seeds??? how many seeds did you buy???

thanks,no its not pre nuted,i usually have to give seedlings a feeding around this time,but the mixture i use is missing one component so i will give the light feeding of 20-20-20 and a drop of super thrive,the reason i dont think the spiders are causing the difficiency is that the seeds that sprouted a week later are not turning neon green,but i could be wrong.thanks.

6 strains.

i dont' think you need to start over. just read around and find out what kind of spiders these guys are and spray them to their graves! I had common house spiders going to live in my box... but maybe that was because i had a gnat invasion.

usually a fixable situation. gl

thats the thing i did check and i dont see any thing under the leaves,i just see theese really ting suckers makeing webs from pot to pot,they come from under neath the pots,i seen two scurry across the web into one small clone but no eggs are damage on the plant,under a scope they are pure black with clear legs with spots on the legs,they are bigger then mites ive seen before,their easy to see runnig acroos the blue styrafoam they are tiny but not really tiny,but i was wanting to get some bug bomb,but im laid up for at least 3 days,no way i could drive to town.but i have spidermite spray,so hope it works,i just hope its not spider mites.thanks.what kind of trapper am i if i cant catch and kill spiders,they would laugh at me at the fur sale lol.

ya i googled it,i was amazed by how many unknown species of spiders there are.im hopeing they are just a common house variety.

so do you guys think its ok to spray avid on baby seedlings,i dont like spraying at all,but someone brought over something i think avid or spider mite spray,but im worried it will kill the seedling,my friend came out to steralize my place for me because im not capable health wise,now thats a friend,but then again what was that saying a friend with weed is a friend indeed,so if these die he gets no smoke lol.

well i just learned a hard lesson,never use powder food that has been stored in a damp place,i waterd my seedling with a 20-20-20 powder food that was moist,it has caused the plants added stress were they did not feed,probably from a lockout of sorts,which then proceded to cause root rot.now i can refeed with the good nutes i picked up and use some peroxide in the water but i dought it will work,because just saturateing an already wet soil.
