Hi guys, I'm new to this forum, like all the hard work everybody puts into their hobby!!
I have my 1st underway and would like some advise.
I took 6 seeds, germinated them in Rockwool(this was ph)
5 came up and I think I'm going to lose another 2 or 3. From the photos u can see my set up. The plants seem to be struggling apart from 1 which I found strange because I haven't done anything different.
My water is ph at 5.9 the bucket has only 3 drops of superthrive in. (Collected rainwater) I've just planted them in soil yesterday which u can see on photos.
Any help would be great.my temp is set at 24.

that`s some pretty big cfl`s for some tiny plants

low power like 12w led lamps or 20 to 40w cfls you can put that close

Maybe try just one of them cfl`s and move it away a bit more till they have 2 to 4 sets of adult leaves then you can start blasting them

HMMM, I don't want to jack this post. But, I want to ask, what happened to germing a seed and putting it into good soil, with good light, and good nutes? I have never personally seen God or any deity put a seed in rockwool, transplant into unusual medium, use all kinds of tools, toys, and gadgets to grow anything. Cannabis cultivation is not rocket science.

OP the seedlings in pics 1 and 3 look fine. Do some more reading and study and grow.

Good Luck and Great Growing.

Hi guys thanks for all the replies much appreciated. I will move the lights back. The canna and other soil I've mixed together as far as I know only has bat dropings in it. I'm not sure about anything else. Should I take the Rockwool off the plants and just put them in the soil ?? I've only been giving them a little water as read that overwatering is bad. Cheers again for the input

superthrive isn't something i'd use on seedlings.
I'd only use it after LST or a few times in the veg stage.

Images 1 & 3 look fine to me, 2 just looks a little slower.
How often are you watering?

where did you get your seeds?

DO NOT attempt to remove the rock wool from them. This will certainly and seriously damage the root systems. I try to only give my gurlz enough water to dampen the root system especially at the seedling stage.. I like mine to get a little on the dry side. IMHO that makes the roots grow nice and strong as they branch out looking for more water. Just Sayin'. Some people like to wet down the soil more...personal preference. You have to be able to read your plants a bit. Others will tell you when and exactly how much they think you should water. But, in the end they are your gurlz.
