are you feeding them nutes yet? whats your watering schedule?

i havnt feed yet becuz i thought its still to small and dont want to burn em yknow... and yes using t5 and i dont really have a set schedule just water when needed and dats been about 2-4days...

Simply a subpar seed, start another seed.

yea 3 weeks and thats what you have, toss it bro def could be a bad seed

N def will also cause this to happen

I'd like to see a better picture, it looks pale from the photo you provided. Maybe try to feed it if it is yellowish. See if you can get her to take off. Seeds aren't cheap I'd give her a chance.

ok so yuh think i should feed her when she is that small

I don't know what nutrients you use but yes at a low ppm for sure. If you use General Hydroponics flora series, what I would do per gallon is 2.5ml Grow 2.5ml Micro 2.5ml bloom should bring you to 500ppm. I think you'll see some results within a day or 2 after feeding it.

i am using fox farm

Shits hot, 1 tsp of grow per gallon, thats it. FF good soil, but hot nutrients, burn your plants quick esp if you follow they're chart.

oka but i dont feed that whole gallon to that one plant right? that is too much? sry if yuh dont understand what i am asking i didnt really no how to ask that question

That's a big pot for a little plant. If your temps are on the lower end of the spectrum, your soil may be staying wet for too long, 'choking' the tiny plant. How long does it take for the soil to dry out?(to about 75% dry)

2-4 days mon

Should I put sum peralit in the soil?? I am thinking that might help

Have you checked the ph of your water? I would also check the ph of your run off and make sure thats in check.

The ph of my water was 7.0 that's not to high is it?

perlite/vemiculite to help drainage, pH tester so you know they can absorb nutrients, Nutrients so your not starving them. looks like that one needs nitrogen, badly

I had a plant like that, it was tiny as shit, ended up finding mold on other plants, sprayed them all with rot/fungus killer, and that plant shot up, currently the bushiest one i have. (it was a fighter).

7.0 is the perfect number for water and soil , what it seems to me is that u underwater , how much water u give on the watering day ? from the looks of the soil seems to me that its been bricked squeeze ur finger in the soil and try to understand if the soil feels soft and tender or rough and needs force to get it penetrated
