Hey guys I need some pointers here.
The first picture is the seedling that first emerged from the soil. Please take a look at one of the cotelydeon leaves. Can anyone explain why it’s smaller than the other one? And why it’s dark like that?
Is it a nutrient thing or ?
The soil I used is not a hot mix by any means. I threw in a little coffee grounds and mixed it with a mushroom compost that has Peat, perlite and coco coir. I put a little used coffee grounds because the NPK of the soil I used was extremely low in all 3 nutrients. Since cannabis needs a high nitrogen ratio for veg growth, I needed to throw in something.
I did that for all three containers.
The second photo is one seedling in the solo cup. It looks a bit stretchy so I am not sure why, all 3 are under the same amount of light.
But this one looks more lighter green than the others. Could this be a nitrogen deficiency ? I’m not sure how it could be since I sprinkled a little coffee grounds before I planted.
Third picture is another seedling that is in a solo cup. It looks smaller in height because I accidentally dug the hole to put the seed in a hair too deep. But it looks okay ( I think)
It may cause me issues later though.
The reason I am asking is because I have never seen this on a seedling before.
As for the info you’re asking, I am not entirely sure on all of that.
The info I do know is the environmental info. The soil im using isn’t a hot soil at all.
In fact I’ll give you a precise NPK.
Its “ 0.30 - 0.10 - 0.10 “, so it isn’t a nutrient rich soil by any means.
I have a fan osulating near them to gently rustle the stem and leaves.
I live in a dry climate in Northern Az. So I do need to supplement some humidity here and there and I’ve been just lightly misting.
They’re in the window getting about 6-8 hours of sun a day.
Today is pretty cloudy and I’m also in a forest, so there’s tall pine trees every where.
But the windowsill gets a good at least 6 hours of sun a day.
( yes I know Autoflowers need a lot more than that, just working with the environment I have right now until I can get myself a good grow set up. )
Windows will not get your girls very far. What is the strain and is it auto or photo. If it’s auto it may be easier to grow. You won’t get a very good yield, but it may work.
Yeah 6 hours of direct window light isn’t enough. I need to get me a grow light.
I would like to stick them outside but I think that would be a bit too much light right now. Plus it’s about 15 mph winds right now too.
And it’s pretty dry with only 15% RH outside.
So some times the little round leafs are damaged in the hatching out of the shell and coming up through the soil.
Idk if this is the case but i have had many with a messed up round leaf because of these.
