Browning on the leaves?

GreenLiving
GreenLivingstarted grow question 2 years ago
I am worried about the leaf colour I feel like it’s slightly browned on the tips. Interested on what others that know what they’re looking at more than me think. Good chance I’m being over protective. I appreciate you.
Solved

Yes, you are being over protective, no need to worry, she is fine. Often the first few sets of leaves can be weird in all sorts of ways (odd shapes and strange markings) and not necessarily due to anything, just that the plant is still figuring out "what this growing thing" is all about. Sometimes marks like these are the result of people spritzing their plants with water in a misguided belief that cannabis is a rain forest plant and they need hyper humidity, which it does not. The water droplets on the leaves then act like magnifying glasses and scorch the leaves leaving brown burnt spots, so if you are spritzing, then stop. The only time spritzing leaves is acceptable is when cuttings/clones are taken and they have yet to develop roots. Spots can also develop from the same reason (water droplets) inside "humidity domes", which are again totally not required for cannabis seedlings, which need good air supply and air movement to develop properly. Hope this helps, Organoman.

After reading your diary, I thought I would just add the following..... The mycorrhizae do not help with root growth or even plant growth in any direct way, they act on (soil) nutrients, breaking them down into a form that is more readily available to the plants, aiding in nutrient absorption and bio-availability. The mycorrhizae actually live on the plants roots in a mutually beneficial relationship and basically "pre digest" the nutrients for the plant. They are a wonder product and no grow should be done without some form of mycorrhizae in my opinion. I use "Mykos" from Xtreme gardening and swear by its effectiveness. It might seem a bit pricey, but it is worth every cent! Cheers, Organoman.

Not to worry your just overthinking it. Your seedling is looking healthy and perfectly fine. Looking at your diary and its entry, You did not plant to early. You want to plant just as the seed cracks and the little tap root is poking out like a tongue. Leaving it longer can cause the tap root to be injured and hurt the growth or kill the seed. Good Luck!

Seedlings do not require any fertilization until the 14 day mark. The seed has everything the plant needs for the 1st 2 weeks.

could be dark? but i wouldn't react to the color at this stage. Early leaves are not necessarily representative of what will soon come. i'd be concerned about node spacing (length of "internode"). You may have light too close or power turned up too high for this early stage. This angle of picture is not best to judge this, but if there is no space between your cotyledons and next set of leaves, the light is too intense. raise it or reduce with dimmer. at this stage, reducing electricity is better way to go... While a packed room or a more mature plant is better to keep those exra photons flying around. So, raise it up, and hope more hits from side while reducing itnensity at canopy as it spreads out and bounces off your walls in that context. For a seedling(s), that's irrelevant. Watch plant.. if it starts to stretch, you need to start amping up light dimmer knob or move it closer. inverse square law applies to intensity that results from change of height from canopy. doesn't take much, usually. So, just keep an eye on internode spacing... if it doesn't develop, you need less light... if it increases too much, need a bit more light... easy to observe and react. if you leave it be and it is too much... it will become stunted and grow more like a dwarf would... many nodes, congested foliage, overly tight spacing, and shit buds results. this is something i just did recently.. so, it's fresh in mind.

hi don't worry) let the earth dry out from time to time and don't add a lot of fertilizer in the beginning and everything will be fine
