Dark devil - problems still occurring

Pooskush
Pooskushstarted grow question 4 years ago
she’s not as big as the other plants and looks a big shrivelled up. Does anyone know why she might be like this and anyway I can improve it? It might be something to do with the weather as it’s a bit cold. I’ve gave it half as much nutrients as the other plants. Thanks

She is still a baby plant and needs very little feeding, let alone being drowned with nutrients. After transplanting you should only give plain water until growth resumes. No matter how careful you are, some root damage/trauma will occur and until your plant recovers from this operation, plain water is the best medicine for it. By giving nutrients so soon after transplanting, the plant has to cope with re-establishing its most vital parts, the roots, find water and on top of it all, deal with mineral fertilizers and due to the roots still not being fully recovered, the mineral salts in the fertilizer will actually "suck" water out of your plant by reverse osmosis, causing dehydration. Try giving her only plain water until she picks up, then go back to quarter strength nutrients until she has 8-10 nodes, then step up to half strength. It is far easier to treat a slightly under fed plant than it is to rescue a over fed and burnt plant. Just like a human baby, your seedlings need gentle feeding until they are adults and just as with humans, you don't give babies T-Bone steaks or seedlings massive feeds with multiple nutrients. Hope this helps,...... Organoman.

Your ph is off in the soil. Plus looks like there is nutrition in the soil or old salt build ups. I suggest a good flush and always have at least 20 percent run off and measuring ph of run off will tell you what soil ph is. Good luck and that should help. Ph is very important in the soil. Good luck and happy growing. 🌲🌲🌲👊

You are overloading them with fertilizers!! using 3ml/l of each fertilizer at this young seedling stage will only bring your plant into toxicities and damage! Always start with 1/5-1/4 of the recommended fertilizer dosage and slowly increase it as the plant matures. Make sure the pH is balanced at about 6.0-6.5 and that you irrigate with at least 20-30% runoff. You also took your time with transplanting them and it seems like some of them suffered a bit of root binding! this will solve itself after transplanting and giving them time to recover out of the stunted growth. About the temperature, you should try and keep it as high as possible at this stage since it is crucial for the plant (and roots) development at this stage of growth. Later on it will have less effect on the plant since it will become more hardy to the weather. Hope this helps! Good luck and happy growing :)

She probably had a rough start. Too much water, maybe. My guess is that she will catch up. She could also just be responding to some stress differently than the others. The cold like you said, maybe training, light, etc. Different stress factors that just hit this one different. Bad genetics are always a possibility too.

Hi, if you have the space and time, let her go out. She will take a little longer, but will be fine. A handful of seeds do this. Good luck 🙏🏻🌱
