First week and never had little plants struggling so much to grow. Not my first grow, but I like to change settings and experiment every time. So now I have to figure out what going wrong before is too late, if it's not already. They started very well and fast, untill the second pair of real leaves appeared. After then , leaves tips started to turn yellow, but in a strange striped way. Soil total composition is biobizz light mix (50L), peat (20L, ph4) ,perlite and vermiculite, worm compost (8L), bat guano (3table spoon), and some wood ash (a glass, to compensate the acidity of peat). Then I added slow release fertilizer vertafort (250g). My idea was to try not to add any nute for the whole cycle, so My guess is that I exceeded with fertilizers (my foult), So after only 4 days I had to flush all of them (that's the reason the soil looks so wet) and that stressed them out for sure. Now I lifted them from the ground to make the soil dry quicker. I did my research on other grow with similar problems but couldn't find a single one that looked similar. The strange thing is that they keep growing, not fast as I was hoping, but they are still alive. Ph is ok, between 6 and 7. Soil is still too wet Temps are 19 C at night, 24 during the day (grow box is warmed up) Please any help is very much appreciated Peace

Hi Tutofanucci It looks you have two problems at once over watering and soil to hot for little seedling. I recently helped a friend off my with same issue. From overwatering and nutrition toxicity. They where Autoflowers and they did survive and have a happy life right now. Suggestion to save those ladies. Get smal 1Litre pods and transplant only in Light mix soil. Add 0.5 ml root stimulants with 1Litre water. Water Each plant 100ml dayli maximum. Then mix your wet soil in their old pots to get more air circulation in it and leave it for a week to dry out. Then transplant the girls back in original pots. All done continue growing. Tip- I will suggest to water only 6PH water so you will be always in maximum and minimum range for soil. Hope this helps and 😉 luck. Happy Growing.

Vincent11 Thank you for your advice. I just read it but you said exactly what I did yesterday. Removing the jiffy from the soil I noticed there were almost no roots. So I'm not so sure they will recover. Do you guys suggest to lightly give some foliar nutes in this stage? Should I expect the plants to be much smaller if they recover? I started two more seeds just in case and if they germinate successfully I think I will give them the bigger pots. Than, if all of the others survived and recovered well, I was thinking about using 4 smaller pots (6-8L) and keep them all. Just not to waste anything. 4 10L pots plus 2 20L pots won't fit in the box, so I have to reach a compromise. Thank you all for the precious tips

i think the main problem was just the excess of nutrient. Overwatering came after my attempt to flush the roots and definitely got things worse. I chose very fast autoflowering strains (only 55-60days from seed to harvast) so my main concern is that their life cycle is so short they will start flowering when still very small. I already grew Babushka black and I loved it. So not her fault, poor little thing

Thank you for your reply. I thought about spraying something but since I'm noticing some progress in the new leaves(at least they seems green) I am worried to give too much in a quite delicate phase. Also they don't seem to suffer of lack of water absorption.. leaves are turgid and open.. I was thinking about carefully dig around the small plant and remove it with all its roots, than mix and dry properly the soil, before putting the plant back in again. I already did something similar with non-cannabis plants but here I don't know if the risk is worth the try.

Ph of runoff is between 6 and 7. I checked many times during flushing. I use an aquarium kit to check pH because I find it much more reliable than electronic ones. I do not have an ec meter
