A question of a fellow grower:
Of 24 planted seedlings 3 have survived.
Now some of those are either wilting at the lower leaves or yellowing.
-5 125 wt lights 18hrs daily
-1 blue 100 wt light on 24/7
-watered with ph water as needed
What should I be doing?
Please advise.
what kind of soil?
roots do not like lightâŚcan you transplant into a bigger pot?
I would say keep the girls covered and moist⌠I think the RH may be too low. Cut a 2 liter bottle and place on top. Give that 1 week or 2âŚ
Do not over water them. Water, wait for soil to be dry then water again. You can go by weight as well. Over watering is a huge beginner mistake. Are you feeding them any nutrients? Seedlings do not need nutrients till the sugar leaves have gone. Soil my be too hot for seedlings as well.
Please fill this out so that we can better get an understanding on whatâs going on ok thanks

Miracle Grow Potting Soil mixed with our Texas Black Soil.
Recently Transplanted from 12oz cup. Started with 24
germinated seeds, transplanted 8 now 3 are still pushing through.
These are each planted in 2 a ltr bottle.
Should I drill holes in the top 2 ltr bottle?
Using high grade PH water to water these.
No nutrients being used yet. Watering about every 3rd day depending on soil dryness.
The room 15âx15â has a space heater to keep temp mid 70s to 80. The grow area is
shielded by mirrors on both side and reflective foil to the rear about 4âx4â area. Ceiling
fan on medium for air flow.
Does your miracle grow soil have nutes in it? I know some say not to get the kind that has time released nutes in it.
most miracle grow has time released nutrients in itâŚas @QtPatooty states
ââmiracle noââ some call it.
use a starting mix such as light warrior by fox farms or jiffy seed starting mixâŚvery light soils needed for seedlings,then after 3-4 nodeââsets of true leafsââ then you can start adding more nutrientsâŚ
i would use the miracle gro for flowers or something like that. @the.attache
Without the support ticket, itâs all a guessing game. My guess is the miracle grow. I use it but only after the seedlings have dropped the seed leaves.
But without the support ticket itâs just a shot in the dark.
dome themâŚto keep the humidity up
Do your plants a big favorâŚdownload and read the FREE GROWING BOOK here.
Blunt Truth: not enough light, too far from plants, bad soil choice, too small containers, no nutes.
CRITICAL to have a PH n PPM Meter set. online $20 a set.
I shall dome each of them with a clear 2 ltr bottle.
Should I drill holes in said bottle?
I did submit a ticket but not sure where it is or a number but my questions with picture is above.
Many Thanks
No, just do not screw the cap on. You want to see a little moisture on the inside of the dome
36hrs after I dome them, two look okay but the middle one is turning even more yellow.
I am desperate to help our daughter how has Woman Cancer and no Pharmaceuticals have helped but these have. Praying that Congress makes the Med Usage at least fully legal.
HELP I AM DESPERATE.
I DOMED THESE AS PER THE GROUP SUGGESTED AND
WATERED ONCE THESE 8DAYS, SINCE SOIL HELP THE MOISTER, YET THIS MORNING THE
PLANTS ARE YELLEWER. AS 12/19/2018 10AM
- 4âX4â AREA
- 3 SIDED MIRRORED
- 2 - 90 WT SPOT LIGHTS 20HRS
- 2 - 300 WT BRIGHT LIGHTS 20HRS
- 1 - 100 WT BLUE LIGHT 24HRS
- 76â TEMP WITH FAIR WIND FROM CIELING FAN
OUR DAUGHTER IS SUFFERING AND MY POCKET BOOK IS IN PAIN, WE HAVE FOUND BUDDS FROM ACROSS THE GLOBE BUT THIS IS THENGOAL TO GROW HERE AND SAVE.
PLEASE ANY SUGGESTIONS?
First i think the pots should not be transparent, but i think @raustin will be able to help as i am a novice also.
Youâve got a few problems going on here. First, you used Miracle Grow soil which has slow release nutrients in it, so every time you water youâre burning the plants with nutrients.
Second, there isnât enough light. Move the lights closer, about six inches from the plants, but make sure they donât burn. Those mirrors arenât helping, they actually donât reflect very much light, and your containers are not light proof. Roots donât like light, so cover the containers with tape or paint them black. Better yet, I recommend you transplant in to some appropriate soil that doesnât contain nutrients. Any seed starter soil will do.
Iâm not sure you can save these plants, your grow space really isnât set up for growing plants well. Lighting is very important and iâm not sure your lights are adequate for growing cannabis. @dbrn32 wil these lights work?
