First time growing help . Please

Unknown strain
Started November 14
Are the leaves turning yellow because they are too close to the light ?
I have not added nutrients.


Hey @Ellebee88 from what I can see they have a little over stretch in them which says the light could probably be closer. How far away is your light and what power? Is it dimmable (new word I think lol). Also next time put your seeds into small jiffy pots to begin with, as you only want to water them when dry (after the seed pops its head that is). How often are you watering, I only really spray my seedlings during the week and water every 2 to 4 days depending on your environment.
Also what medium are you growing in?

As for when I said start your seeds in small jiffy pots, reason is they help sprout seeds into seedlings and Jiffy Pellet composition includes peat moss, a mesh, and other ingredients such as lime, fertilizer, and ammonium to help seedlings grow. The ideal plan is to have the roots at a point where they are growing through the jiffy pot. Cannabis loves being repotted and really explodes after being repotted. If your soil/peat moss doesn’t dry out the new roots want go looking for water, this is how healthy roots grow. If your plant is wet all the time you get poor root growth which means poor plant growth and eventually root rot. If I was you it’s not too late to transfer them to small jiffy pots in the jiffy peat moss. This would eliminate trying to work out what’s wrong with your soul if that is in fact the issue at all. One other thing don’t give them any other nutrients at this stage of growth.

Hi @Ellebee88. Your soil looks too compacted and is choking out your plants. What media are you using? What RH are you running in?

Since it’s having a hard time to drink from its’ roots, it will try and absorb what moisture it can from the surrounding air. You can dome up the seedling and raise the humidity local to the seedling. Cut a two liter clear pop bottle, put some small holes at the bottom portion for vents, spritz with water and cover up that seedling. Keep the moisture level in the dome high but not too high that droplets appear on the seedling.

Transplanting would probably do more harm than good. Let it recover first and grow some legs beforehand. Cheers.
