Week 3 Status: All seedlings still in solo cup with coco coir/perlite mix, watering every 2-3 days and mixed in my first 1mg/2L calmag on one of the waterings. Kept the Light at 32 inches up until now; week 4 will be the first week with a light drop down to 18 inches above the highest plant. Green Fire: The seedling finally showed it's first growth, looks a little twisted up (most likely due to stunt) but at least it's present. Hoping it really starts to take off this week. Sweet Honey Nugs: No update, just letting them do their thing. As soon as the leaves start to reach the edge of the solo cup I'll transfer, initially was hoping to transplant today (week 3 end) but probably going to give them another week before making the move.

Week 2, day 16, the first plant to sprout (Green Fire) still only has it's first leaves (day 8 with cotyledon's). Other plants (separate strain) have now sprouted and surpassed the Green fire in terms of having true leaves. What's going on here?

Does not look to have a growth tip, you can see better if one is not there it will never do anything. May as well wait though not that far behind.

@DirtyDave, wow, I was looking up. Stonington Blends Organic Grow Mix. that looks like great soil. I am not sure I can find it near me. what do you think of dry nutes ?
DirtyDave

@1stmanny, much appreciated. I would absolutely recommend the coco coir/perlite mix but, personally, I'm just using it as a starter until my plants get big enough then switching to Stonington Blends Organic Grow Mix to finish out the grow. Plenty of growers on here seem to use the coco/perlite/vermiculite/etc. throughout the whole life cycle, just need to pay closer attention to nutes.

Appreciate the feedback on the "Stunted Seedling" Question, plant seems to be back on the right track. Following back up with some responses: @rhodes68 - chosen correct response, in the end just had to be patient and wait it out, see week 3. @Simscrog - thanks for the tips but that's kind of exactly what I already did. This one was stuck with no first growth after ~18 days, just took way longer than expected/compared to other plants. @Blueboy2019 - Yeaaa, at this point, 3/4 plants are going according to plan so I'm not sure why you recommended to scrap the entire grow. @OGgrows - Only using a sprayer on all plants at this stage and been pretty cautious about the watering so I don't think this was it, but it may have had something to do with. Definitely letting the substrate dry a bit more nowadays.

@Blueboy2019, I see where you're comin from but these are photo periods and should have plenty of time to bounce back...and it's only on 1 plant. Also, this being my first grow and all, I'd like to work through issues and learn that way I can be dialed in on the next grow. Appreciate the input but lookin for helpful solutions here.
