You know it!!! I’ll get you a list of strains over the w/e, you tell me what you’d like, I’ll make it happen. SS/BW…mister
@misterbee Who does that??? You are extremely generous.
I really suggest with the next grow you try to go by weight of the pot of when to water instead of going by how the top of the soil looks and feels, when you have a small seedling in a couple gallon pot it’s going to take a while before it goes through the water. The top may be dry but the bottom may not be. By going by weight of the dry soil is the best way to determine when to water when in soil. At least untill the plant fills the pot.
Edit. It also may be beneficial when potting up from your cup to go into a 1 gallon pot first as that will alleviate over watering issues some.
Good advise that I will take to heart. Last night I took the seedlings out of the 2 gallon pots and replanted them into 1/2 gal plastic pots. None of them seemed to have hardly any roots. (should have taken a picture, but I couldn’t hold up the plant and the phone at the same time.) I figure I’ll set them off to the side and see what they do and move on to new seeds. If they look like they have a chance at surviving, I’ll put them in the greenhouse soon.
I’m still a newbie myself but one thing I noticed that I had issues with on my first grow looks like what you are experiencing.
My biggest factors for fixing issues was
-PH water 5.5-6.5 (I used distilled water and ph’d)
-RH 55-65% For Veg stage
-Litfa when it comes to watering, I bought me one of those dirt prong meters that determine dryness/wetness of soil.
These three things alone saved my plants on my first grow.
Still learning everyday and eager to learn more!!
Wish you wellness getting back on your growing Journey!!!
Thank you for the input and the encouraging words. My PH is good and the RH I (think) I can control with a small humidifier, it’s that LITFA thing I might have trouble with
I have a prong type meter, but don’t know how accurate it is. I will weigh my pots this time around and see if it helps me get a feel for how much water they need.
The following strains for Arthritis: ACDC, Harlequin, Girl Scouts Cookies, Sour Diesel, Canna Tsu, Master Kush. Strains for Pain: Blue Dreams, Bubba Kush, Jack Herer, Girl Scout Cookies, Afghan Kush, Northern Lights, Blueberry. Let me know, outbound afterwards!!! SS/BW…mister
Oh what fun!
I looked over that list like a 10 year old leafing through the Sears Wishbook.
-only thing is, I wasn’t looking at ez bake ovens this time
Thank you for sending me such a promising list of contenders. There are two that sound like “OMG - I NEED this in my life”
Blue Dreams and Sour Diesel are two strains i would love to grow.
You are a true philanthropist and everyone from OG benefits from your generosity! Thank you!
Kindy PM your personal particulars, BD and SD will be headed your way Monday. Do SS/BW…mister
Solid OG right there!
Cheers

I un-potted my sick seedlings today. Any idea what could have happened? Don’t want to repeat this. The last picture shows the healthiest looking plant and it had the more root structure than the others. Remember - these are (were) over 30 days old.
The first thing I notice is they are very stretched so in need of more or closer light. What were you feeding them?
I was feeding only water until the very end in a last ditch effort I add a pinch of 2-2-2 general fert from Dr Earth. It obviously didn’t help.
That being the case it must be the soil itself. I grow in coco so won’t try to give soil advice as I don’t want to steer you wrong. If it were me I would look into the starting medium and get them some more light. Don’t let it get you down, it happens. Your next ones will be much better
Are you referring to the long legs or the pale color? I dimmed the lights a bit during the last few discouraging days and that might have made them stretch.
I was refering to the long legs, dimming the lights definatly could be the problem there. Just looks like a ton of space between the ground and Cotyledons.
Thank You!!! The package you sent has left me speechless. Not only did you send WAY more seeds than you said, but I also got some very cool stickers.
Thank you @misterbee
Good to see everything arrived intact. SS/BW…mister
I made this account just to tell you this original poster… the problem was the rockwool! I think it just slipped by everyone trying to give you advice because you only mentioned it in the first post! It slipped by me too! Then you posted your root balls and i was like, what the hell is that?? Dude or dudette, there is no point in using rockwool in this situation! You’re not the first to do this, but yeah… See how much better your grow is gonna be. I recommend just making a small hole in some moist soil, and dropping a seed in. Happy growing!
Welcome to OG @Griftee . Putting seeds directly into soil is my preferred method for germinating seeds. I don’t like rockwool cubes for germinating because they hold to much water, which when they do sprout can cause damping off. But I don’t think the rockwool was the problem as they were already up and growing for a bit. I think as others have mentioned the OP was over watering. I agree the OP would be better off just starting in soil though.
