My apologies if my concern is nothing. The last thing I want is to waste peoples time! So I’ll get to it. This is my first grow. I have a 3x3 AC infinity setup. Lights are roughly 12-15 inches away. My temps with lights on are in the 75-80 degree range and humidity I keep at 70. I have 3 plants currently, all named (by my wife lol).
The third plant furthest to the right (Maeve). Although looks healthy, is growing significantly slower than the others. However, I’m
Seeing new growth. Her color seems fine, no issues other than size and what I would call a droop? Again my first grow, so I’m just basing this off of consistency with the other two plants. If anyone would mind chiming in and either letting me know if something is wrong? Or I’m worrying over nothing, would be greatly appreciated! They are roughly 11 days old.
Your plants look fine to me. Each seed is an individual and may look and grow differently than other seeds. Look at like your siblings…you all came from the same parents but are not identical (unless you are maternal twins). Plants grown from clones will look nearly alike.
Thank you for the insight! That’s what I read, but I guess I was more concerned about the droop than the actual size? Also, the fact that they are all the same strain (green gelato) lead me to think they would be similar. Also, thank you so much with the rapid response! From what I’ve seen thus far this community is extremely helpful!
Plants change their posture over the coarse of the day. Unless they start drooping and stay that way, I would not worry too much.
As far as the differing growth…again, you and your brother are the same strain and don’t look exactly alike. It is perfectly normal for two plants from seed to look different even if from the same mother plant.
Looks like @merlin44 has it well covered. My only advice is never give up on a seedling no matter how much “ugly duckling” syndrome it has. Never know where ur next tent champ is gonna sprout from !
You will hear this a lot. Watering is probably second most important aspect after lighting. It is also very easy to get it wrong.
As stated, seedlings don’t need much water at all.
I start with moist soil and cover with a “dome” keeping Rh at near 100%. Half a juice bottle works for me.
The sprouts get all they need through the air while the roots get established.
Wow! Thank you everyone! Thank you for the watering advice! I don’t water unless dry to the touch about a knuckles worth down. Then I’m using a pipette and adding ~10ml of pH adjusted water. If this is wildly wrong then please let me know! Awesome first interaction btw. Thanks for the warm welcome!
One last thing always water seedlings in a circle a few inches from the main stem. It encourages outward root growth and won’t drown your tap root. Shot glass at a time Happy growing Growmie!
