New Grower Seedling Growth Stunted

So I think that there might still be a lockout. My last feed went in at 6.5 (after nutes) and came out at 4.5. Should I flush?

The pics from day 23 look pretty good ... I suspect that your pots don't have near enough drainage which causes the soil in the bottom to have a low ph but higher up in the pot the ph can be fine ... tough to determine this by testing run off ... one of the reasons for bigger pots is it gives the roots someplace to hide when we screw up the soil in the bottom of the pot ...

One of the prettiest plants I ever had a hand in was in a 3 gal pot w/ a ph of 4 at the bottom and 6.2 at the top ... as determined w/ an Accurate 8 Soil Probe ...

Just bought a pH pen, thank god!

Do yourself a favor and read the instructions ... I've been using mine wrong for the past 2 months ... :slaps:

I noticed three instances of stuck cotyledons over 4 runs. I am going to set my germinated seeds a little deeper from now on to give them a little more ground time and see if it stops. 3/4 " instead of 1/2". Will also pat the soil a little firmer to make her work for it. I think I have been too impatient making it unnaturally easy resulting in the occasional wimp plant with weak root structure.

The plants are all perky and growing quickly! That flush and low dose of nutes really treated them well.

I feel like I actually know how to take care of them now; pH was a real issue for me at first. Saved up the money, got a pen, and now I can really be a responsible grower. Yippee! :Growing::wiggle:

Just a little sneak peak at the forest. Been saving a detailed update for a later time!

Front right: Day 42 - Nirvana auto short rider. Flowering is chugging along quickly now! No more vet growth, switched to flower nutes.

Front left: Day 48 - Nirvana auto short rider that had the fused cotyledon. I'd say she's about two weeks behind the other SR, but she's popped pre-flowers at all of her nodes! She's going to get big... I may have to move my light toward the front of the tent and put her just outside of the tent with the door open around her. Still on veg nutes.

Back right: Day 42 - Rando Nirvana seed, just experimenting with the girl. Been de-veging a lot, doing some topping, LST, and supercropping. Just wanting to learn with this one.

Back left: around day 55 - Bagseed - I'm 95% positive that she's got female pre-flowers all over her nodes... What are the changes of getting a ruderalis bagseed? Anyway, "she's" beautiful.

Real nice grow ... about 0% chance of auto bagseed ... :Hookah:

So why do you think it's preflowering with a 24/0 schedule? The preflowers look distinctly female. Little folded piece of tissue with two hairs coming out

More likely showing sex than pre-flowering ... it's a way that a sexually mature plant will let you know that it's time to go 12/12 w/ it ...
