On these, I used round cotton pads. I soaked the cotton in purified water and placed between two plates. Within 36 hours I had healthy sprouts, I placed in Fox Farms Light Warrior Seed Starter, with Dynomyco seed inoculant.
I have a question, on one of my sprouts it appears to have slight discoloration in the tips it looks almost white. It has been like that sense the seed shell came off. The others coming up look just fine but wanted to make sure it was not getting burned by the lights?
Another thing is your soil looks extremely wet. You could be drowning the roots which is causing rot or if your soil has a slow release nutrient in it you may be getting nutrient burn from to many nutrients being release from the water. You want to let your medium completely dry out before you water again.
Happy Growing.
This week went well, I had one late sprouter but seems to be popping through ok now. I have one that has a slight discoloration on the tips of its leaves. But all else seems good, when do you all start adding Neuts, and what is the best way at this time? I have Fox Farms “Grow Big” for vegetation.
Nervous mother I suppose, but I am
Concerned. My QK is lil over two inches and my FC whom sprouted 1st are staying right at under an inch. I have also noticed that my QK is also looking a paler green on the tips of the leaves is this a concern?
The seed powers growth for 10-14 days or so.. you are fine... if anything you want a very light soil mix or light nutes in soilless irrigation etc... If the soil is hot, it's possible that's why you see some discoloration, but they will likely power right through it, as it seems minor. I doubt it is a deficiency.
if you add any fertilizer, make sure it is a light dose... familiarize yourself with the soil you used... if you stick with same brand and anything added, it should be similar timing on needing nutes.
stick to good irrigation practices.. wait for top 1" to dry before irrigating agian. learn weight of a dry pot as that's simplest way to feel 'when.' In these little seedling trays i'd wait for top layer to dry and maybe up to 1/4". get a little runoff to ensure entire volume of soil gets wet. rinse and repeat and feed every other? every third? or whatever works well for your fertilizer mix.
keep pH around 6.5-6.8.
