Seedling sick

[LWD]

Hi RIU, once a seedling is sick, is it worth keeping? Should I uproot it now and not waste my time, or do you think there is some growth potential left? It has not grown much at all for one week. I gave it some ferts for the yellowish cotyledons. thanks

Keep it in a humid env. (You must do this for seedlings) and give it a week. Seedlings are weird.

kk thanks for advice

So if my grow room environment is high humidity I need a dehumidifier. If its low I need to add a humidifier? I think I will need a hygrometer.

Seedlings don't NEED high humidity. I've started plants from seed in a tent with an hps in it where the humidity was 45% and they did fine. It's too early to feed it. Don't feed it till its got about 3 nodes. Also the round leaves (seed leaves) will fall off, don't freak out over them. Goodluck.

I never use a humidifier for seedlings either, but I do put a cap over them the first 3-5 days or so bottom of a platstic bottle.

You are right about the hygrometer though... definitely need one of those. Later on, when you're flowering, you'll want to keep the humidity lower.

The cotyledons are SUPPOSED to yellow and fall off. They exist for the sole purpose of feeding the plant until it has a sufficient root mass to collect its own food. That's why you DON'T FEED TINY SEEDLINGS!

That feeding is likely the reason your seedling is dying.

No it was dying before the feeding, I fed it because I thought it was low nitrogen. The yellowing is not only on the cotyledons but the true leaves as well. I going to give it a week to improve.

I going to give it a week to improve.

And then..... it die if no improvement?

do you see any point in keeping a sick plant? They should be removed from the garden.
