This has been rather stressful for me since it is my first grow. Initially germinated 5 seeds, only 3 sprouted. I'm gonna germinate another 2 TD seeds to replace the duds. The weird growth on the #2 and #3 has got me panicked. But I figured it was due to the over saturated jiffy pellet i had used to germinate them. I'm gonna try to let the jiffy pellet dry slightly by reducing the water level in my DWC bucket. Maintaining below 30C temp has been a nightmare due to the climate in my country. Constantly misting the tent in attempt to maintain a humidity above 50% and turning the exhaust fan off at some point. Cal mag I used is highly concentrated, so the amount I used is way below the recommended bottle instructions.
I'm just wondering the the curling on the cotyledons are an anomaly caused by my mistake or is it normal behaviour for some seedling to grow certain ways?
Your issues are definitely from overwatering. It is usually not a good idea to put your starter cubes or pellets into dwc until you have a good size taproot coming out of the bottom. It is really easy to suffocate them until the roots come out. I would take it out for a day or so and let it dry out. Good luck with her!
Going DWC for first grow, I love it! She looks great so far. A happy and healthy bush. Keep doing what your doing and beat of luck the rest of the way.
@DILLIGAF, Thanks for the answer mate, as I have said to laBOSSNOVA, I'm gonna dry them out for a few days and see how it goes. Its a good thing I bought some extra seeds in the case of things like this happens as seeds take forever to reach my country 😂
@CRiSPrGrow, Thanks for the input mate, will be trying to dry them out for a few days and see how it all goes. Its unfortunate to see these good seeds go but if it comes to that, oh well. live and learn, live and learn.
You're plants look like thier doing really well, I'm also doing a couple of Dutch Passion strains - AutoGlueberryOg and Auto Critical orange punch. I've defoliated it and it's doing pretty well tbf. Its pre flowering/ pre flower stretching. Happy growing
