So i did my usual routine to start my seeds which is put them in a damp paper towel in a ziplock bag and leave in a dark area till they sprout ( I usually let the first white root to grow just a little in the paper towel till i transplant to soil) this works for me 90 % Of time. And worked perfectly fine for my last crops which were seeds from this website. I grew two blueberry, one pineapple haze, and one strawberry kush which turned out my favorite!
These are pictures from that crop a couple weeks
Before harvest.
Anyways my problem is I used the exact same technique with the same seeds soil and everything. Only two seeds took in the soil ( pineapple haze and blueberry which is having its own issues)
So the healthy looking one is the pineapple haze and the little seedling is shocked or something and hasnāt grown in ober a week, thatās where I need your help because I want to save it since my other two seedlings died completely and Iām out of seeds. I took the unhealthy seedling and moved it so itās not directly under the light because I believe it was getting to hot, i also think Iām might have been over watering. So any input or advice on how to keep the blueberry seedling alive would be much appreciated ā
Second question is it safe to FIM and low stress train my one healthy plant ( pineapple haze)!which I did with my last crop, the only issue is out of all four plants the pineapple haze was the only plant to hermie out in the last few weeks of flowering. Luckily it wasnāt bad enough to cause the other three plants to be ruined besides the occasional seed here and there. So Iām wondering if fimming my one healthy pineapple haze plant and scrogging it will be okay or if the fimming and scrogging is what caused it to hermie out!?
Thanks for any input this is my first post so Iām hoping for some good advice!!!
you may have accidentally broken tap root ?
not sure,maybe root rot?

Strain- pineapple haze and strawberry kush (which is the one with stunted/ shocked growth) both pictures were taken at the same time and also transplanted into soil at the same time so u can see how stunted the strawberry kush is. Whith my last crop I had four plants 2 blueberry, 1 strawberry kush and 1 pineapple haze all planted and watered the same, this is what they looked like at the veg stage.
So this time tried four plants again thatās what i usually grow ( i only have four crops under my belt so Iām a little bit of a newbie but all previous crops turned out good, yield could have been better since I only have a400 watt hps and Iām tryinf to upgrade). Anyways two of the seed transplanted to soil were dead within a day or two, i think I damaged the tap route on one and the other one had root rot because I went to water it ( the seed had just barely poked out of the soil) and the see floated away I could see the tap root and it was dark brown and shriveled! Thatās why I believe the two seedlings that died were from over watering and root rot.
Watering - i was watering twice a day but it was about 22 oz of water spread out between all four 5 gallon pots a day ( i donāt like transplanting so i start the seeds in five gallon buckets which could also be a problem)
Temp- stays around 75 because i have my light on 24 hours a day.
Growing medium- I use happy frog soil
Anyways Iām trying to salvage the one healthy plant I have which is the pineapple haze, and get the most yield as I can from it. So my main question is it safe to fim the plant and once it recovers and grows out scrog it. I did this to all four of my plants last time and it worked good besides the fact the pineapple haze plant hermied out a few weeks before the end of flower. I believe this was because I went on vacation for two weeks and had a friend with zero growing experience tend to my plants. Or the pineapple haze genetics doesnāt like to be dimmed and Scrogged which I hope isnāt the case, because thatās my plan with my one healthy plant.
@bob31 do u think it would be okay for me to FIM my on thriving plant (pineapple haze), and then once it grow out a bit to scrog the plant that way I can fill up my tent with an even canopy and get the max yield from my one plant, because I believe the strawberry kush seedling had about 50/50 Chance of surviving, Iām gonna let the seedlings dry up a bit and skip watering it today so it can get some oxygen Iām case over watering was the problem.
@bob31 no sheās not an auto, I bought the seed from this website so itās a feminized seed. Itās genetics are 70% sativa and 30% indica. My last crop i grew one of then pineapple haze seeds and fimmed and scrogged it and it worked great besides the fact she hermied a lil bit a few weeks before harbest, but this only cause a few seeds to grow that I trimmed out I think the pollen spread due to fans to my three other plants cuz i found a few seeds while trimming. All the bud still turned out great and smokes and tastes. This hermie also happened when I went on vacation and tried to trust a friend to tend to my planfs for two weeks but I believe she was part of the reason my pineapple haze plant slightly hermied out
Anyways my plant is currently on its fifth node which is around the time I fimmed them last time and had success with! So do you think i should go ahead with the FIM and scrog like i did last time, I really donāt have much to lose simce two and a half of my seedlings failed to tame root:/
@bob31 awesome thanks man i just went ahead and fimmed her. Iāll upload some pictures once she recovers and bushes out. Also is now a good time to start giving her my veg nutes!? Iāve just been doing water for now.
@bob31 the nutes i use is biothrive which is what I have been using on the previous 5 crops I have done. And it seems to work well!
The soil i use is happy frog which is what I used for my last crop which also worked well! Do you recommend I start using my veg nutes now on the pineapple haze plant I just fimmed, or use water till she recovers. Also are there any other nutes you recommend I thought about using fox farm but the guy at my grow store said he recommended the biothrive.
@bob31 currently Iām doing just 15 oz of non chlorinated water everyday this seems to be working because I go to water every morning the entire top soil and about a half inch deep into the soils is pretty bone dry! I will start adding a small bit of veg nutes until she recovers from the fimming and starts bushing out!
Then my normal feeding schedule is about 1/3 of a gallon with veg nutes every other day, basically I water when the top soil is completely dry and I stick my finger in about a half inch and if itās on the dryer side i water. So this makes my watering schedule every other day
Then once sheās big enough to start scrogging I usually do a half gallon every other day with veg nutes. Since I only have one plant maybe two if the seedling survives ( not looking likely) with this crop, Iām planning on vegging and scrogging it till I have a flat uniform canopy that fills my tent and grow space up pretty well then switch the lights to 12 and 12 and start my flowering nutes ( which I usually water half gallon every other day )
I live in Colorado Springs and unfortunately my med card recently expired because otherwise I would just buy some clones to replace the dying and dead seedlings
@bob31 do u think my plan to scrog and veg my girl for awhile to fill up my tent to get the most out of my one plant, before switching to flower is a good idea?!
You are keeping the lower half of that pot wet by watering every day. Potted MJ thrive when they roots can breath a little and by watering everyday they donāt get that opportunity. Try going every other couple of days. It will help them, trust me!
(I water or feed every two or three days depending on my availability!)
