Okay, there is something rly bad going on with my girls... Yesterday I had a great ideia to try inoculate this pots and I watered it if IMO, with melass and water 1:1:18. And now they look so much down below Maybe the massive change of pH??! IMO generally have pH 4 or le

To be brutally honest with you based on what I see- both seedlings look like genetics gone wrong. Every now and then, you come across a seedling that grows super small with the leaves curled under like yours. You can wait a little longer and try to save them but my guess is that they will continue to grow abnormally. If you are using true potting soil there should be more than enough nutrients to get a seedling started and as long as the clay pot has drainage in the bottom, it should be fine too. Don’t over water, use PH’d (6-6.5) dechlorinated water if possible and keep your temp around 75-80 degrees with some air flow moving over/around the plants at all times. I hope that these little ladies pull through and I’m completely wrong on the genetics gone wrong but based on what I’ve seen in my own garden- they just don’t look right to me. Good luck my friend! 🇨🇦

Hi there Senhor Camaro, you're right about the big problem, basically it is a root zone issue but there is a bit more. So the "soil" you are using is called "potting soil" which is peat moss mixed with other things like bark and etc. so that means the "soil" medium you are using is actually soilless. this means that you need to add cal mag urgently and continuously for the rest of the grow, same with nutrients . You'll also need an additive like humic acid , and this is what will fix the root zone problem . So now you know about your medium you need three things : 1st - cal mag 2nd - nutrients 3rd - humic acid. go full dose with cal mag and humic acid and half dose with nutrients to start 😉 hope this helps ! 🚀

Hi Senhor, I looked over your diary and made a couple of observations that I hoped to share, I myself am a new grower too and always learning, when all things are in unison oxygen within the root zone is the limiting factor of growth, not only that if there is no evaporation within soil then the only thing in those clay/plastic pots that are using up the moisture is the roots of the tiny teeny little plant barely past the seedling stage, all the days of your diary are wet wet wet, you should barely need to water for the first week and the consequence of overwatering in a closed plastic/ceramic pot is always worse if stagnation takes hold within the root zone. The little heavy green leaves are heavy with water, they have sucked up as much as they can, but photosynthesis is slow, as the soil becomes gets wetter and wetter, less and less oxygen reaches the roots until the roots start to suffocate and dye, eventually leading to root rot or just severely stunted growth depending on how long it's left with a high RH% within the soil. Some tips to help get back on track. Set ambient temp intent to 82, lower your light until the top of the canopy reaches 86, and the leaf surface temperature for optimal photosynthesis occurs at 86 farenheight. We want it warm, you must also keep RH below 50% at soil level, so long as it stays above 50RH% moisture, in general, won't evaporate, we want to try and keep it in a constant state of drying, cycle, absolutely never fear about underwatering, the plants are hardwired to "hibernate" to reserve moisture content, when you see leafs drooping just throw in some water and the plant will spring back to life, a little drought stress is also beneficial to keeping a healthy cycle, once you have a better understanding of bacteria you soon realize that so long as you keep a constant state of change bacteria/stagnation can never take hold. I highly suggest getting them into airports, this will almost eradicate overwatering as an issue, you will really be able to hone watering skills along with being able to read the plant and let it tell you when it wants water. PH is also low add some dolomitic lime What the others said about PH is also corrrrrect. Good luck. stop fertilizing/feeding seedlings with 6 leafs, Molasses>? no point unless its near flowering, use powdered molasses, anything syrup based will be a breeding ground for bacteria too if soil is not kept aerated.

Ein PH Wert von 4 ist für den anbau auf erde definitiv zu sauer. Du solltest diesen auf 6,2 bis 6,5 erhöhen, dann könnte sich dein Problem schon erledigen 😅👍

You really need to get that ph up. Soil is between ph 6.0 and 6.8. Coco 5.5 and 6.5
