How Do They Look?

I'm doing a BC Bloombox grow. Can anyone be so kind as to comment on how things look so far. I'm a first time grower and want to have all my bases covered. Ran into a snag at first but now the 2nd time seems to be working better.

This is around 3 days under light. someone said they were stretching so I moved them closer to the light



This is 4 days in after transferring to the larger rockwool. They started to wilt a bit but I noticed they were dry so gave a good watering.




This was today at 7 days under light - and I see some new leaves starting to fill in.





Any red flags? Should I be concerned about the tiliting and the wilting yet? Thanks for any help you can offer! I don't want to take any chances.

They are not doing well. Seedlings should not wilt like that. You need to check your ph on your water and make sure your at 6.0 - 6.7 cause your plants look as if they are dieing.

My ph is 5.6. I thought they were on the rise as the 2nd set of leaves are coming in. What would you suggest?

I think you watered them too much.. what kind of lighting are you running? how far from the lights are they?

If your ph is that low you have nute lock out. 6.0 -6.8 is what you need to Ph your water to!

I'll lay off the watering for a little while. I have them under I think a 130 watt flur. light. They might be a little too far. I will move them closer tonight during the light cycle.

What are the signs of overwatering?

This is actually a hydro grow so I believe it should be 5.6. Anyway, am I doomed at this point or will they pull through?

if you let them dry a bit not dry out you might be able to save em. try not to overwater..

Hey man you might not be doomed but look at it this way; your plants are still very very young, why not just start over and correct you mistake. It will ensure much better results in the end. Good luck!!

you need to change something, i would go to say your ph too.. it wont hurt to raise your ph if it might save your grow dude. make your own choice.

Did you treat your rockwool cubes before you planted your seeds ? lites look like they should be closer , eazz up on the water nd things should be cool

Here are some pics from day 10 (my previous days were off, I'm actually at Day 10 under the fluro.)

I moved my plants closer to the light. They seem to be standing more erect now.



I stuffed the sides of the rockwool to seal the light. Are the leaves looking a little yellow?




They are still a little moist. The tops of the rockwool seem a little dry but I think they are still watered. I'm letting them dry out a little.

What should be my next step? Not sure where to go next. I don't see any roots poking out yet. Should I wait another day or two before moving them into the pots? Do they need any nutes yet?

Ok, here's the latest this morning. Following a post from the other day, I put about an inch of water in the tray and then 100ppm of Sensi Grow A+B in the water and put the rockwool back in. It soaked up the water and nutes. So far it's been 12 days under the fluros.

This is about a day and a half later from the last set of photos:






Some are doing better than others but they all seem to have improved quite a bit with some nutes. There is no root action yet coming out the bottom of the cubes.

The Bloombox manual says I should be moving them into the pots and then when roots are coming out the bottom to turn on the pump and fill the tub with nutes: it is a drip system. Is is too soon for this? This would move them away from the lights. They are still somewhat moist from the last watering so I'm afraid to overwater them again.

How do they look? Any help would be appreciated. Invested a lot of time in these bad boys and don't want to lose them yet. WHAT IS MY NEXT MOVE?https://www.rollitup.org/indoor-growing/3339-northern-lights-harvest.html
