Not enough light from this window. She is stretching and leaning looking for more power. Should I let it ride for science of move her to the greenhouse for yeild?
If she stretches too much, no problem! Just top dress with more soil! Weed is like tomatoes in that those little fuzzy hairs on the sprout can turn into roots.
Hi. Let me say, what I see:
1. too much water - for so small plant is 0,2gal/24h too much. Your temp and humidity ? Maybe 0,2gal every second or third day would be better.
2. that wooden support ... let plant to build stronger stem, usually it grow thick in wind, if stem is permanently bending. Better slution would be add some soil. You still have 1-2 inches in pot.
3. now i see other beginning problems: extrmely unstable conditions. Use "photone" app for measure light. Light through window (even though on south side) is sufficient only for germinating in 1st week after planting seed. Next step is slowly increasing light. You need to start with at least 150 micromoles in 1st week in seedling state and slowly increasing light power up to 300micromoles in 1 week, then up to 600micromoles in second-third week.
What type of light source are you using ? Light shedule is important too. All extrme changes are stressfull for plant.
Good luck :)
@Njustice4all87, Oh, sure, in windy and dry weather it can evaporate this amount of water. So the problem could be in VPD. I have this pots too, but inside tent with regulated humidity. Usually so small plant need max 0,5 litre of water 2-3times weekly...
Try photone, and look at VPD chart too. ;)
@Jack11, thanks for the feedback I will be adding more soil once I can make it to town. As for the light I've since moved it into my plant room She sits under a 150w LED and some cheap "full spectrum" barina lights. As to the watering our super dry desert climate dries out fabric pots completely in 24 hours I check daily and am dry up to the second knuckle. Given that do you still feel it's over watered? I will download that app tonight I have never heard of that. Perhaps a game changer.
