Do I have big problems already?

SwedishNewbie · Sep 20, 2019

Hi!

My seeds have come up today, but after a few hours the two leaves have started to curl downwards, what have I done wrong and is there anything I can do to change it?

The temp is 78-80 degrees fahrenheit and the RH is around 60%.

Thanks for the answer!

Yes, I watered the seeds a few hours ago. Could overwatering be the problem, and will it sort it self out if I dont water them for a while or are they no good anymore?

Yeah I'd say leave it a few days and they should be fine as long as they getting enough good light. Get a small fan blowing on them too very gentle

And the 2 leaves you see curling over are not proper leaves and eventually will drop off

Pot looks on the large size also bit late now but would of better and easier to water on smaller ones

How big of a container is that in?

Convince yourself right now, that you are growing ROOTS, not a plant. Roots.
Healthy, white, fuzzy roots.

Its a small transpiration problem from many possible things. A lot do this but it will grow out of it most likely. My guess more light, is it stretching :-)

I will for sure start in a smaller pot next time, I made a mistake and started in a far to big one this time. :/ Thanks again for all the help!

Do not "water" a seedling. All you need to do is mist it with a spray water bottle a bit. Just enough to keep the top layer a bit moist. You're drowning it. You don't have to start actually watering it until it gets larger.

Don't do that. No need to. All it does is stress your plant when you repot it.

That is for sure where I wnt wrong to start with, it´s so much diffrent things to think about when you grow for the first time so sometimes I get all confused the more I read about this. When do think that I should start watering the plants?

Ok, that sounds good. I watched MrCanucksgrow on Youtube and he was the one I followed when I used a big pot from the beginning.It´s great to know that I can continue with it in the next grow aswell.

Thanks a million for the answer, I really appreciate all the help that you all have given me!

My humidity is around 70%, is that ok?

I never start watering mine until they get their first decent leaves. Right about this stage:

Keep your eyes open for powder mold. 70 is a bit high in my experience. Keep some air moving around your plants if your humidity is staying that high. I keep mine under 60%, preferably around 55 to 57.

This has one good watering and due anther one probably tomoz. Then I will repot in final pot sometime next week

Do I have big problems already?
