Seedling tips?

RockDa420started grow question 2 years ago

New grower. First seed. Seems to be going fine with seedling popping through soil after 2 days. Now under 60w CFL about 6-8 inches above the plant and a clear plastic cup covering it. Any tips for keeping it alive and thriving? Been spritzing with water 1-2x/day.

I would remove the plastic cup as soon as the sprout breaks out of the soil. If it stays to humid you promote mold/fungus which can cause the sprout to "dampen off". Only reason to have a dome is to prevent your soil from drying out while the seeds taproot is still small and can easily dry up. Happy Growing

Remove the cover and water it properly.......spritzing does nothing.

Hello. Doing good. You can lower the light to within 4 inches to get the most/best photosynthesis out of the fluorescents. I don't use a cover because I want alot of light on the seedling to stop the stretch upward. Don't give too much water. and no food until the first leaves are all the way out. Your first one, I hope it's memorable. Chuck.

Stretchy seedlings...worried!Hi, I have 5 seedlings on day 7. 2 of them are going fine but the three from ditch passion were very stretchy though. Likely due to having the light to far away. Take a look, any advise would be great. Cheers all!

Why are my seedlings so leggy when they get enough light?I added pictures from 4 days after germ and wonder why my seedlings are so leggy (~5cm). I already filled it up with soil and they would be 10cm by now if I didn't. First 2 days was 12-14 DLI and since yesterday am giving them more light than many guides say: 250-270 PPFD, 18 DLI

Cover seedling for increased humidity?1. Does it make sense to cover the seedling with a cover (bottom of a plastic bottle) to increase humidity or should i remove it (e.g. for better air circulation)? 2. Should i switch on a fan that moves the air a little bit (pointing it above the plant)?

Is this Shell membrane crucial to life? Will this bag-seed Seedling survive?Will it survive? The seed was pried open with saliva and pruners once it broke soil. I see some brown (what I suspect to be) membrane that maybe needed to stay with the cotyledon.

Seedling leaves turning white, no true leaves Why have my seedling leaves turned white? One of them sprouted 3 days ago and it’s first true leaves haven’t sprouted yet? I am growing in coco and perlite and watering with water and rhizotonic? Is it because I haven’t let the soil dry out and I’m watering it everyday?
