I would say thats an enviro problem as much as anything? Try taking her out of the 'clear' cup as she might be getting algae on her roots the soil looks a bit rough too imo ;) Seriously though just re-pot her in a small 1 litre mixture of proper seedling mix or even coco, make sure its got good drainage. Get a small fan on her if you don't already, air movement is the cheapest plant tonic you can provide, they love a bit of wind them girls... unless its under the doooovaaayyyy :bigjoint:

You will see a proper growth burst, she only looks a week 10 days from sprouting to me? Then you can bin it assuming its a grek...

Is there a bit of residue on the leaves like a pale dust? I can't really tell on my crap screen :eyesmoke:

Good stuff but don't feed with it!
Im gonna re-pot today to see if that improves it, the earlier pic had pale dry leaves but that has seemed to improved, might be environment like u said, ive always used this method under 2 bulb T5 light and have almost 100% success with clones so thought it would be fine for seed grow and did have success with 3 of the seeds

It's prob the environment. Is it a bit cold where you have them? Seeds like 22C appx. I dribbled some water and Rhizo on a few of mine today. Just the ones that needed it.

Can you get rooted clones and start with those? Otherwise you may as well try and save the one pictured on the left.

If anything the temps are a little high, got 2 other 4 bulb T5s running and they keep area very warm, was let down on promised clones of that strain(critical kush) and that's why I went down the seed route, i have got 1 successful plant of that strain, already topped and cloned...in small black pot of course lol :D

Tall clone.jpg

Thought id post this for no reason only out of disbelief on how tall the left plant has grown in a small plastic cup, I had no room to re-pot it into larger plant pot when it started rooting so I just let it grow and gave it water when fed others with the intention of binning it when it died but its STILL growing, sorry for this crap post but it just amazed me cos I didn't think it was possible.. :lol:

Thats not from a seed though is it? Once you chop a clone and it roots or you're given a clone it will grow like a rocket, as in tall lanky skinny xmas tree. I'd cut that around its 4th node and pin it down, it'll be a good plant if you still have it.

Seeds are different like babies and clones are adults, yer get me? Once that staggered growth starts it will grow in a fart man!

I popped this picture on the outdoor thread but I will repeat myself here...

This is the mega smoke that came off one of my weird blues sheffy cheesy clone only x Jack H male seed I bred.
All the other 23 seeds in the crop were reet but nothin special. However thiss little thing doesn't look that great imo but it is like a revelation, its like a super strain! Very very potent to the point of silly my pal says, only thing is where are the pistils? PS I have no cut so its doomed... :sad:

Yeah its from a clone, still got it but its starting to yellow abit now, I never thought a plant would grow as high in a small pot so that was a shock, ill heed ur advice and cut/pin it tomorrow and see what happens

It will be root bound i'd say? Maybe re-pot it first in somehtig then top it after a week. It'll look like your cutting a whole plant off but you can re-plant the top as well, personally I'd bin the top but its up to you :bigjoint:

Maybe let it grow another 2 weeks to be safe?
Undecided right now, i do a perpetual grow supplying 2 flower rooms but my schedule has been knocked to hell by the led light. Usually the strain i was growing would always end 8 weeks but it went to 10 weeks under led and now i have a backlog of plants ready to go 12/12...kills me to throw any away tho lol

My buddy says LED stands for Fucking Crap Lighting but thats FCL o_O But I'm fucking scared to say anything lol
He's right when it comes to the old ones.

The new COB stuff could stand for Crapload Of Buds, if the journals I've seen are anything to judge by!

I agree with that, my yields were never great anyway but under led its alot worse with buds about 50% smaller and this is with a cob light which is suppose to be equal to 1200w hps

Any one on here have a over sea's source for seed;s i'm after blue dream,regular not feminized
No but I actually know a guy who has a cut he smuggled in from the states last month! When he showed me it I laughed, it was sitting in a tub of something that looked like ONA gel lol. He said its rooted at last and started to grow but he's probably months off supplying any?

I've put a few posts on here and other uk thread complaining about heat issues and had some very good advice. Initially I thought I had a good air exchange system but today I found the box that fan came in and even at max its only 520 m3ph!!. No helping some people is there lol, Tornado fan it is..

Thats 305 cubic feet a minute in old school, its what I use for my seedling prop :bigjoint:

I think minimum for anything pulling through a large 20-25L carbon is 900 - 1200cfm minimum. I have the biggest I can run in any given circumstances, this time it'll be bad for me due to noise nxt dr and I am looking at a 1.2 x 2.4 vertical... maybe not need a rethink o_O

Ive realised how poor the fan was in the summer, only had 1 600w hps on and even then temps was high, what size fan in m3ph would be ideal for a 2x2 tent running only 2 600w hps lights?
