Newbie problems. Appreciate any input

[green_space]

Hello everyone

I have 3 X Royal queen seeds Blue mystic on the go. Under lumi 200w enviro grow. Blue spectrum. Temps 24-27c throughout

Regular as I can misting throughout the day
2 watering a week. 1 with ferts 1 without for now
20l soil 10l pearlite mix.


She has always been slow since the popping of the shell very petite.
11 days of growth for all the ladies

I have given them biobizz grow for there first feed. 1ml a litre shared between the 3 pots and ample run off.

Can anyone rate the progress for a noobie .

Blue spectrum light?? That’s for clones that you don’t want to grow isn’t it??

I thought blue spectrum was for vegging ? Have a done and messed up?

I would advise against misting those lil ladies. The water droplets on the young leaves can act as a magnifying glass and damage the leaf under HID. Typically, misting is best done as lights are going off. As for slow growth from a seedling, I wouldn't fuss about it too much. You can always top the other plants or use other LST methods to keep an even canopy if the slow growth persists through mid veg.

Yea you messed up. The light isn't the issue as of right now. Seedlings don't need much light.

Where you have messed up is over watering as well as giving nutes while it's that small.

Soil has nutes in it already. You shouldn't need to give anything but water for a couple weeks. Then you will transplant it when it out grows that container and the new soil you put it into will again sustain it for a couple weeks.

Stop misting. Let that soil dry out. They will root rot if you keep adding water

Yea. Stop watering until the top layer of the soil up to your 1st knuckle is dry. Yea stick your pointer finger into the dirt.

Over watering is a huge issue. It's a frequency issue. Can't state this enough. Over watering is a huge issue.

So for the soil test I stick my index finger in to the first joint of my finger? If dry water if not leave ?

Correct. If its even a little wet at the tip of your finger don't water.

I used J Arthur stuff 100l bag. It's at my local garden store not much selection. And mixed it with pearlite as well.

Is that organic? For your transplant just make sure you are getting an organic potting soil.

I alwyss did like.organic better than hydro better smell and taste just overall more natural to me. But that could be down to the peeps not flushing hydro as good as organic

They look good. Let them dry out, and add a small amount of air circulation to assist. Get a feel for how much water your plants need by weight and feel. Personally, I'd make sure those pots have drainage holes and the ability to circulate air under the pots as well.

Thanks dude appreciate the words... I got a fan at the bottom.blowing at the lowest setting and refraining from misting let them have there rest from.the rain . The pearlite I believe helps with aeration and drainage.
