Hey I am in dear need of some help!!!! I have a 2wk old plant (ny diesel) that is an inch and half tall. The embryo leaves have fallen off already (good or bad idk?) It had sprouted its first leaves and i see the second set coming(very very tiny though) I have 3 23w cfl's running 24/7 its in miracle grow potting soil which i believe is 20-7-10. i am watering only when the soil seems real dry. there are two 23w cfl's directly above the plant a little more than an inch from the plant. The water has extra boost of nitrogen in it but just started using this water. The two leaves that are showing seem to be pretty healthy and green. Although at the very very tip of one leaf it seems to be a bit brownish yellow I started with 3 others but they died. I am doing everything I can I hope to salvage this one. First time, yet I am not up on all the nutes i need or where to go to get them. Running on a tight budget so i will take any help i can get. Oh, I started them in regulaur out side soil and yesterday i mixed it with the mg potting soil about 50%outside soil and 50%mg potting soil. PLEASE PLEASE HELP A GREAT STRAIN THAT IS HARD TO COME BYE

if theres alot of plants growing around where you got the outside soil just that not mixed with any thing should work untill you can get some seedling starter soil. and i wud only use miracle grow soil ina last resort in any stage of life. it can cause alot of nutrient problems.

it could b alot of different things that are messing with it, like you said you had 3 other plants die. it could b your grow room or lights, maybe looking into those factors if you dont think its the soil or nutes

looks like agood setup to me man, and the lil plant seems healthy, just small.
what strain is it? it could just have slow growing genetics
im growing lemon haze and they werent a whole lot bigger than that at a 1 1/2 week

I had the same probblem with stunted seedlings, then i found Fox Farm ocean forest and i saw the explosion of growth. try some new soil thats my opinion. Ive got a few that are only 4 days old with three sets of leaves, craziest shit ive ever seen.

The only kind of Miracle Grow soil you should ever use period is Miracle Grow Moisture Control. It's the only MG Soil thats pretty much fool proof.
