Why arent my autos growing

[LLOYD TURBO]

My autos have now broken the surface for 12 days and they dont look much different to 6 days old they look very weak and skinny, they are ow under 600w 18 hours a day
these pics are 10 days old

looks like they need watered lol but need more info soil, light, etc.

That soil looks really dry seedling like a humid moist environment.Put some plastic wrap or put them in a doom keep soil moist.If you want a better answer then that i will need more info on soil, nutes, temp,pH, lights well you get my point lol

PS take pic out side grow room so i can see better plus seedling should not be under 600w hps that's to much heat for them.

They are in canna coco proffesional plus, no nutes as of yet, ph between 6.6 and 7, i have been trying not to over water do you think it may have led to under watering?? They were under florecents for the firs 7-8 days and have been under 600w since, they just seem a little yelow and the stem dosnt seem to be fattening up??

this is a pic of the enviroment

Yeah that's good stuff it should have a buffering to for pH to so i would say under watering!!!!I would try to doom them and watch your heat.Iv done a few autos.I start them in 16 oz plastic cups half way full and i doom them or plastic rap to keep in humidity tell they touch the top of the doom or plastic rap then i have them on a 27/7 light the hole time.anyway remember seedling don't need a lot of light flor are fine at this stage.

I'd say water it, put it back under floros, get humidity up and grow for a week or 2 then stick em back under the 6r

just hold your horses....12 days isnt that much. they are also slowed a bit due to introducing the new light...be sure to keep moist media as everyone else is suggesting...a bit of coco specific nutrients will help too. i think seedlings like potassium but be sure to research that....a nitrogen rich nutrient should be used as well. 1/4 strength.

All info gratefully recieved, i have give them a bitof a feed yeserday and it may be my half shut eyes but id say they look much greener today, will get sum day 13 pics up later

yes they have stored food as long as they are in the shell....once the shell is shed they are relying on root zone for food.

still no great deal of growing goin on, the leaves still look a little yellowish and slightly curled over on ends, they still dont look much different than they did from when i changed the light, im starting to think my 600w is a bag of shit lol

No they are stressed for other reasons. 600watts of light is plenty for seedlings. Even if its an old bulb.

Possibly you have a bacterial infection.

Do you like wasting energy ? There is no need to use a 600w lamp over a 12 days old seedling. Try using a cfl and when its around 25-30 days you use your 600w.

They are establishing a root system, nothing unusual there. Edit, the stem does look weak.

I am going to start them today on canna part a nutes, being a newbie i was wondering what readings i should see on my nutrient tester??? They are 18 days old today

 

[LLOYD TURBO]

Also what is optimum ph for ladies this old??

 

[LLOYD TURBO]

i just gave them a feed and the ph was 6.4 and i gave them 5ml canna part a per 5 litres water and my nutrient meter said EC 0.6 but im not sure what it is supposed to be, with them bein autos everything i have read have said 1/4 to 1/2 strenth nutes so i only used a tiny bit, can someone please give me some info cheers

any one able to tell me if this is ok ?

Sounds good. Look at the plants...are they ok? Marijuana is nothing special. Have you ever grow tomatoes or anything? No need to flip over the small stuff. If you worry when they are seedlings you got a lot ahead of you man. Wait till the spider mites, powdery mildew, bud rot....all this awaits you. Start researching, its much faster than waiting for a response from somebody. Google is a great tool. You have to help yourself before you expect people to help you....ill help anyway. Heres a few threads to read.
