Stunted Early Growth

wayweststarted grow question 4 years ago
Wondering why growth is stunted On a 20/4 light schedule, water every 2 days with overflow more details in grow diary. Only thing i can think of is humidity being too low (45%) and temp hitting 28 maybe 29 degrees.

Hi mate, sorry to hear about your problems. Only thing I can think of is they are getting too much light and too close. 28-29 is a little hot. 21-23°C is best for seedlings. If you're worries about humidity, cut a plastic bottle in half and place it over the pots to contain some moisture. Otherwise, good luck man.

Hi all, thanks for the posts! Really appreciate the help. Just before I get into answering the questions, is it worth pulling some of these off and starting anew or are they salvageable at this point? I'll update the information in a big post as I'm not too sure how to reply to one specific person, sorry. A reason they could look wet is due to me taking the picture everytime after I have watered them. - EC levels unknown, will find out and update - Grow medium is Canna Professional Coco - I water it to fill up to the brim until water runoff (around 15% each watering cycle and this is every 2 days, is this too much for the 1L pot? - Temps are always an issue, what's something I can do to help airflow? The grow is in a small room with a shut door, I have vent holes on the door but was thinking about an air circulator to have air pull into the tent more? - Containers do have holes at the bottom. I didn't know you were supposed to water that little for the seedling stage with a shot glass or two at a time! Thanks for all the tips as well, really do appreciate it! I will keep you all posted over the next few days, if anyone has anymore advice until then that'd be great but there's heaps of information here, hopefully it fixes the problemos!

What are you using for a medium? I agree they look very very wet, and it doesnt look like your soil has good aeration like perlite or anything. If youre filling those pots to runoff every 2 days thats a ton of water for those tiny plants

Do you have drain holes in the bottom's of those containers? your medium looks really wet.. at this stage those little girls only need about a shot glass or two of water right at the base of the stem.. even when you start to ramp up your watering only do it at the stem. This way you force the taproot to grow to the bottom of your container before spreading out to the sides.. This will give you the most healthy girl possible.. If I were you let them dry out until you start to see the medium begin to pull away from the sides of your container soak the stem and just lightly mist the rest of the medium to keep the top moist.. Cheers and happy growing.
