I grow in coco. So what it means when a plant starts and is deformed. In most cases it means the feed us too string too soon. In your case I believe this is true. Going by the darker green in leaves. I run a 5.8 ph In and 5.8 ph out in run off. Coco needs to always stay wet. Seedlings don't need nutrition till day 7 from sprout. Plus Coco needs a cal mag supplement. Coco grows are very ph sensitive.

No. Your ph is off. Try upping it a little or add a bigger pot for your roots this should lessen ph

seedling discoloration, leaning toward center, brown perlite despite no nutrients so far leaves of these seedlings look weird, almost looks like light discoloration, but they also seem to be leaning toward the middle of the box for more light. Also, the perlite is turning orangey/brown, just got a new light and dont have much experience with LED or growing in general

Runnoff measuring results are not what I expected.Hello, I have a question. When you look at my diary, I find my runnoff measurments to be concerning. Why do you think my PPM is so high and my pH so low? How do I measure my runnoff correctly? Do I filter it before reading or do I let it wait?

How deep can I bury stalk during transplant?Hi! I'm going to up-size my seedling to a 1 gallon pot this week. How deep I safely bury the stalk? It's currently 7cm from soil to the cotyledons. Could I bury all the way to the cotyledons or is this too much stalk to put under ground? Thanks for your advice👍

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?

Mould on seedling This seed was late to spawn. Now it finally opened, even if it's quite short on the soil. I can see a fluff of mould just below the cotyledons. What should I do? Can I save it or do I risk contaminating the rest of the plants in the growbox?
