Hey,whats up? Looking for some advice here. I have been growing for about two years now using the same strains in a perpetual cabinet scrog. I got bored and wanted some new flavors so I ordered seeds recently. So, although I have been growing for a while now, this is only the second time I have ever sprouted seeds.
The first time I germinated seeds I used soil and then transplanted into hempy cups (mix is 75% perlite and 25% vermiculite), and had no problems. This time I decided to try Rockwool cubes because I thought it would be easier to move into hempys. I sprouted three seeds in cubes less than a week ago and they all germinated well and looked good, initially. The strains are DNA Lemon OG, Reserva Privada Purple OG #18, and Female Seeds C99.
I waited until the roots were coming out the cubes and then put them in the hempy cups. I think this is where I might have messed up, because I reused some perlite and vermiculite mix from previous plants, mixed in with fresh stuff. The next morning I awoke to find the seedlings leaves were turning yellow and brown. I dug the cubes out of the cups, flushed them with plain water, and replanted them using all fresh perlite and vermiculite.
I let them sit for the past two days and did nothing with them, then watered them today. It seems like they were shocked for a day or so, but today I am seeing some signs of new growth, but the leaves are still yellow and I see some yellowing on the new little leaves in the middle on the Lemon OG, which looks the worst out of the three. The c99 is doing the best, Purple OG, has some yellowing, and Lemon OG has yellow that turned to brown and looks like shit.
I have at no point fed them anything but plain water that has sat out for several days. What do you think the problem may be and what can I do about it? The temperature in my veg room they are in is 77 degrees and there is plenty of airflow. I have three Bonsai Moms of my old strains in there (Kushberry,Super Lemon Haze, and Blue Cheese) and about 11 rooted clones for my next run and they are all doing great, so I don’t think it is the environment. I have two 25 watt daylight CFLs positioned about 4 to 5 inches above the seedlings. I can put my hand under them and there is no discernible heat being admitted until I get less than an inch from the bulbs. I’ve done a ton of reading here, and the only things I can think of is it is a problem with the water (should I switch to purified water?), or it is because I reused some perlite and vermiculite at first, and it may have absorbed some nutes. Any suggestions? Thanks for reading, and any help you might be able to offer.
