Is she okay? 15 days old from seed.

Hey.


Today is the 15th day of my little holy grail kush plant's veg state.

I noticed her leafs were downward facing and she isn't really growing too tall. Temps are 84f and getting water 2-3 days in miracle grow moisture control.

She's my first grow, so I have no idea what to expect. She had to be replanted at 6 days of veg due to mold in her prior pot which stunted her for a day or so and made the bottom leafs start to die.

i had good luck putting a dome over the seedling at that young of age. i have a seed propagator, and used r/r plugs and a heat mat. for a straggler seedling/runt that was a month behind the rest of the crop, i ended up using a mc donalds milkshake clear cup and misted the inside daily. also your medium, does it have any nutes in it? looks like one leaf has some burn on it? seedlings dont really need nutes at this young age. what are you using for lights? i used t8 2-4' fixture on 24/7 for about 3-4 weeks, then moved to 18/6 on my 600w light. before watering every 2 days or so, are you checking the soil to see if it needs watering? whats your ph? any way to lower temps in the grow area?

It got nute burned from the stupid miracle grow when I transplanted her.

111 watts of CFL 2' away from her.

No idea what the PH is, Using tap water but it's not harsh here in BC.

If the soil is crusty for the first 2-3 inches I usually water around a half shot glass worth.

imo, its important to ph tap h2o as well as let the chlorine and chloride dissperse before using. my tap is 8.0, so i deffinately ph all my water. i also aerate my water in an 18 gallon res 24/7. a ph tester is about 12.00 from amazon and another 7.00 for 7.0 solution. try popping a dome over her, mist the dome for 3 days. i did this to mym straggler laughing buddah and after a week she shot up nice and quick. she was about 2" tall and all the other seeds were well into veg. now their going into flower, and the little straggler has the veg tent all to herself.

bring the lights closer. use the back of your hand as a guide to see how close you can have them w/o burning the seedling.

Here in BC you don't need to worry about pH of the tap water, chlorine in the tap water, minerals in the... you get it I'm sure. I use straight out of the tap and it's fine, hell I water my plants with the hose. It looks like too much nitrogen too me, give it a healthy flush (2-4 L) of water then don't do anything else until it the pot feels light. I personally wouldn't use any type of a dome, excessive moisture in the ambient air will have a negative effect on it's ability to transpire moisture. Also a dome will limit air movement which that stem desperately needs to strengthen itself. To summarize 1)Flush it, 2)get a fan on it 3)wait it out. ***EDIT*** That appears to be a fairly small container, use 2x the volume of the container to flush it, that's all it should need.

Thanks for the responses.

So you suggest I poor 2-4 l of water in my soil directly? Well obviously doing it carefully enough to not disrupt roots.

And nitrogen would make sense since I'm pretty sure MG's fert release has a lot of it :s

I edited the volume above, 2x the volume of the grow container.

Fill the container to the top lip and let the water drain, repeat until you've used all the water. I wouldn't worry about disturbing the roots, they should be fine as long as you aren't trying to flush it with pressure or exposing them.

Example - 1L container uses 2L of water.

I assume Nitrogen because of how dark green those leaves are, they should be lighter green than that at this stage.

Thank you so much for the help.
