Hey everyone, new guy here.
im currently growing a Candy Kush auto flower seed and on day 6 of its seedling stage. Recently I noticed some spotsb on the leaf appear yesterday, im growing in fox farms coco Loco medium with water between 6-6.4ph with 1 table spoon per gallon of water of fox farms big bloom.
Only been watering every 24-36 hours whenever I see the top of the soil dry. Indoor grow, 24 hour light with steady 70-80 degree heat and steady 30-40% humidity.
Your low ph is locking out nutrients. Your ph needs to be 6.5 or 6.6. Stop giving the bloom. Bloom is for flowering. These are babies right now and your focus should be on root development. 1 tsp per gallon of Bio Root from General Organics 0-1-1 along with White Widow Mycorrhizae will develop a healthy rhizosphere for optimal water and nutrient uptake. They are seedlings until they display five segmented leaves. Then you can begin a nutrient regimen. An NPK of 3-1-2 is good for vegetative growth. Moreover, your soil has worm and bat poop in it. Once, you get the ph right you should see improvement. Don’t over water. About 1/8 of a cup should be enough.

so when going to water her this morning, the first splash of water that hit the medium around the plant, she literally just tipped over 0_o. the root was so connected from what i saw though, i stood her back up and packed the medium around her and packed it down a little and proceeded to water. should i do something new to get her stronger? as we know she’s been through hell and is the “special” one lol. but damn lol. she keeps messing with my emotions lol

You can bury her as deep as you want and then get an oscillating fan on her on low. I wouldn’t let the wind hit her directly just yet, but some circulating in the tent. You want her to jiggle just ever so slightly.
Would you explain 5 segmented leaves please?
Interesting, I was wondering what metric to use to know when they come out of germination.
So, would the fifth segmented leaf be any non-cotyledon leaf?

Codylendol leaf? Non codylendol? Me and " terminology are not getting along today lol sorry I thought I was doing ok till reading comments but I figure the more I ask the more I’ll understand in this community! Thanks for your patience ahead of time lol
A cotyledon leaf is one of the round leaves that are first to appear on the plant. I don’t know why they are like that, but I figure by the time I understand I’ll have an honorary degree in botany from learning to grow weed LOL!
If you’re growing in coco, you’re going to want to water at least twice a day. Coco requires much, much more water than soil, and should always be damp. I feed my seedlings about 500ml twice a day. Full size plants, 3-4L twice a day.
Are there fertilizers in your fox farm coco? Most fox farms stuff seems to be too hot for cannabis
The first rounded leaves are called cotyledons. The next set are the first primary leaves. They are just one segment. The next set have 3 segments, the next usually five, and eventually seven. When you see a set of leaves with 5 or 7 seven parts your plant is an adult and the vegetative stage begins. The first four weeks your plant is considered a seedling.

5 segmented leaves have 5 “points” to them, or as some say 5 “fingers”
