Hello,
Long time reader first-time poster, not too sure about the forum rules so sorry if this is in the wrong place…
I purchased 5 white widow auto seeds and 4 germinated successfully.
I planted them out at the end of August and one died so was down to 3 which is fine.
I purchased them as they said they’re good for first time growers. As you can see from the pics below they just didn’t grow. Their first set of leaves had brown spots on them and then died off, the rest of the seedlings looked a healthy green though. Obviously, something is very wrong, are they saveable or do you have any advice for my next attempt?
I don’t ph their water it’s just rainwater from my tank, I didn’t use any fertiliser as the soil used had 6 months of fert in it apparently and I planted a veggie garden in the same soil and that just exploded.
I put them outside and thought maybe they were getting too much sunlight so they only get about 3 hours of direct sunlight and then another 6 or so hours of indirect sunlight.
It’s quite a mild temperature where I am, not too hot or cold (south-east Queensland Australia)
See below photos with bottle cap for reference. Plant date was 19th August.
. I would lift them gently and go for a seed friendly compost. Bringing them on a bit more would help as well. Letting them get a bit bigger would give them more time to adjust to their new environment when you do plant out
