Is my plant stunted?

[Brettman]

I vote yes, that’s definitely not a healthy plant, I’m not sure what your doing wrong. Hopefully a more experienced member here can help you out. If not you may have to start over :/

No I'm curious. Someone told me I'd stunt my plant if I fed them daily from sprout in coco.

Huh.. thats bullshit.. i feed mine from sprout when i run promix.. im not sure what if anything is food in coco on its own

Here is one of my plants at five weeks from germination. For reference.

Looks like shit

Whomever said that shit about starting coco feed from start would stunt them is full of shit …. I did it in micro hempy solo cups ( rooter plug ) coco top / perlite base. I literally planted a seed in a coco solo using 100/200 ppm . I do this to make solid coco transplants for either straight hempy / COCO or Peat soil grow. That way i can pick the grow style.

I believe you seen those pics before.

I don’t know if this a gag thread but he grows well …
Almost put that star wars “ its a trap “ meme lol.
I am actually hyperfocused on that bucket riser idea - cant believe i didnt do that with my own airpots ( i threw them in garage ) or with my DTW hempy buckets. Instead ( for me ) .. i would use those lowe’s shorty 2 gallon blue ones.

Great idea.

As far plant , its healthy , sometimes there are “ late bloomers “ as they say. Many growers take vegging out to 8 weeks or so - i would worry if there was minimal growth in-next 2 weeks. If it was mine , I would add kelp to watering. Trace minerals are always good for your plants.

Why not just use a saucer? You're wasting a lot of height with buckets.

Coco is inert.

I think it looks amazing, I’m kind of sentimental to that grow. It was the second plant I’ve grown.

Because saucers can't hold the necessary waste in a DTW feed setup. Also if you want to leave them setup like that you don't have to empty them daily.

I thought so.. i had read someones post saying it has a small amount of nutrients in it.. and i chimed in thinking it was inert.

No haha, that’s actually our basement, notice the dirty old concrete floor around that mat. Kids never used it so I put it in front of my tents so I wasn’t less standing on concrete. That basement has been totally re-done since then though!

Makes sense. I would think there's a better way still so you don't lose so much height.

I go seed straight to coco from start whether in a solo or actual bucket start. I just modded a solo or two and all good.
( plant pics washed out from lights - they ain’t yellow thank you very much. )

I normally use a flood table with a drain below it. Only requires maybe 8 inches or so in height to automatically pump the waste out.
