Ema26started grow question 5 years ago
My seedling is 9 days old now and growth is extremely slow. The stem is a red colour and the leaves are a slight yellow. This is my first ever grow and I just can’t figure it out. I would be grateful if anyone could give me some advice.

yes man your observation was right,very nice approach for a first grow.as you rightly said,it is from overwatering a little bit.since its roots are too small for now,no need to water much.just pour where you think its roots reached. 0.5lt of water would be ideal.and you can increase grow nutrient rates,my advice.good luck

Leaf problem and purple stemsHi,
I have a problem with my auto.
I have purple stems and problems with the leaves.
The soil contains organic nutrients and mycos sometimes I add flowering boost from royalqueenseeds so I don't think it is P or K problem.
Is it a nitrogen deficiency ?
Thank you for the answerLeaves. Curl up

Leaves continue to get yellow and fall off. Plant dying, bud looks okay.Still having issues with my plant. Leaves are getting more and more yellow and 2 have fallen off. Pretty far from harvest still for the leaves to be getting this yellow. Temps in tent are 18-22 c with leds 200w act wattage. Overwatered once but I doubt it would cause this. Ideas?5 years ago

Leaves turning yellow/pointing up, stem turning purpleHaving a problem with one of them.. all the leaves have gone very yellow and are pointing upwards. The stem is also very purple now. Any ideas what this could be? Other than a feeding of bud candy and watering here and there it hasn’t gotten any other feeding. Thanks!5 years ago
