This one looks much better this week after what appeared to be a little stunted growth. Fed it a little grow and calmag. Start looking for when I want to begin training the plant soon.
Does anyone have any favored methods to avoid stunted seedlings? It hasn't happened to all of my seedlings, but at least three crops have had this issue. I already use Coast of Maine seed starter, usually in small solo cups, before switching to the main soil.
Start them in bigger pots, seedling roots run out of room very quickly in small cups, thereby stunting growth.
Simple really!
Ideally some thing about 4 inches across and 5 inches deep, this is adequate for up to three weeks of growth.
Have a look at my diary "cannabis conundrums" and in week 7 I have posted some pictures of a root system of a 3 week old seedling and this might give you an idea as to why having adequate sized pots for your seedlings is so important.
Hope this helps,.... Organoman.
