Well all started well with the plant now completing one complete week above soil. It grew amazingly well without much problems. I noticed one of the 4 leaves has a started to get charred from the boundry, I think it was due to heat stress. Will be moving the light further away from the plant now. Will appreciate all the help as this is my first ever grow. Please advice me about the burnt leaves as soon as you can. Appreciate it. Qurantine and grow peeps. Peace

Notice the boundry of one of the leaf burning? Please help me identify and solve this issue before it grows into something big. Is it a pest or is it heat stress or is it some kind of deficiency?

Maybe a lack of humidity , if your temps is 28°C I guess that your room is pretty dry. It not seems to be a, harmfull problem , I feel like it won't spread , the plant will get stronger and will get over it.

Hi Family here I am with my mid week update for the grow, It is day 10 from the seeds popping out of the soil. The leaf burn problem I had last week seems to be contained and I dont see it spreading, the new leaves are coming out beautiful. I decreased the watering volume and frequency, the plant seems to be liking it. Also moved it a bit away from the LED as it could be stressing the leaves. Day 11 - the new upcoming leaf seems to have 3 leaf structure already but one of them seems to have a twisted/abnormal leaf. Day 14 - added Lays Chips Bags stuck inside out on cardboard to use as reflectors. Will they cause any temp hotspots or hurt my plant in any way? Any suggestions? A few leaves have developed some minor discolored patches like their sap has been sucked out, there are no bugs or pest issues yet though. Any idea about these? #qurantine_grow

Enough? That depends on the space you are using it in. For a space of 1 sq ft to 1.5 sq ft it is fine. Depending on your experience and skill you can pull from 30 gr to 70 gr dry.

Day 15- Grew well, only problem is the one leaf, it keeps dying slowly from the edge. Also notice the whitish spot on the leaves, any idea about it? Day 16 - Growth seems to be real good, I have noticed the leaves have started clawing down. Any ideas about this? Also Does the plant look healthy in your opinion? DAY 17 - The growth is still phenomenal, but the leaves keep drying up a bit. Need help people need some real help here Day 19 - the new growth is amazing though the early leaves are dying very young.

Tips of Leaves Drying up. As the new leaves keep popping up very healthy, the older leaves seem to be drying up from the tips giving them a very crispy feeling and dying slowly. The leaves are not curling up too much nor the leaves closest to light show more issue. Help. Thanks

Hi @kushkushpass it seems to me to be caused by too much heat or lack of humidity. but it is normal for these first leaves to turn yellow and dry early. your plant looks healthy to me. good luck mate 👍

If you are not feeding anything then the soil is too hot. Not unheard of, aslong as the new leaves grow ok, there is nothing to worry about.

Take away the box and leave the pot on the floor. That light is powerful for the seedling..

Considering you’re un soil, i think ur overwatering.. especially 200ml daily for seedlings. Do you water the whole pot daily? Adjust your routine. Water every other day and only around the seedling not the whole pot, Maybe 1/4 cup. 4th pic looks wet soil imo, layoff water until u feel the soil is dryish cld be a day or 2, then restart with the new routine.

Well, unfortunately after a series of attempts I could not save my plant. She fell prey to some soil issues and could not make it. A new seed is popped and will mark a new journey next !!
