I messed up my first seedling ☹️


I left the oscillating fan on overnight and basically dehydrated the seedling. First sprout was on 04/23.

Specs:
2x2x4.5 tent
Ts 600 LED
4” inline fan w/ carbon filter
Lenoit 2L humidifier
Oscillating fan
A Pot for Pot 2 gallon grow kit
RQS Pink Runtz autoflower
25°C 80-ish% humidity

I put a dome over the seedling in an attempt to revive her. Once I get this Ph meter to calibrate, I’m going to start sprouting another seed.

Would appreciate insights/suggestions

Moisten the little one with a spray bottle and put a small dome on her, it’s worth a shot but never guaranteed. You’ve got about a 50/50 shot good luck!!

Done. Thanks, @ADK_Guerrila

I don’t let the fan hit them directly until they are about a week old. If you have the fan running just turn off the oscillation and let it blow towards the opposite side of the tent to give a gentle air movement.
Once older then the fan from a distance will oscillate the air enough to gently make the plants move occasionally. Helps strengthen them, but it doesn’t take a lot.

Ah…makes sense. Thanks @Spiney_norman I’ll make those adjustments when (if) it gets stronger, and I remove the dome

I agree with @ChittyChittyBangin
This plant had both cotyledon torn off from trying to remove helmet head. She still grew.

I appreciate the support @ChittyChittyBangin I’ve read that autoflowers can be delicate, so my optimism is a bit dimmed. Worth a shot to try to revive it and learn from the experience

Lemme give you an example @Pancake

I took 4 clones from a plant (my first time cloning) and i didnt think any of em were going to make it. I got more clones from my bro so i put a lid on the clones i did and let em go… fast forward to 2 weeks later when i go to transplant and removed the container to clean it out… to my suprise i had 1 clone with 4 nodes that hadnt gotten any kind of water except for runoff from the other clones up top and that was barely nothing. So, i transplanted her and a week later shes up and taking off…

No such luck. Rookie mistake. The lights were too close and the seedling got toasted.

Live and learn. Dropped another seed in some water. Hopefully this one goes better.

Thanks @ChittyChittyBangin @Bigb2 @ADK_Guerrila @Spiney_norman for the feedback and support.
