These babies are 14 days old, and for a variety of reasons aren't as far along as they probably should be by now. 2x Sour Orange Diesel Kush (droopier ones) and a Blue Treacle, who is a bit yellow. Had a few days where temps and RH was fluctuating wildly, (switching from T5 and CFL to 1x 240W LED and 1x 190W UFO LED), finally got it dialled in at 26-30c and 35-50%RH. Also think I overwatered one or two of the seedlings, even though I was giving them minimal water in a small circle around the plant, and not giving them enough feed (yellowing leaves?). Was advised yesterday on here that it looked to be under watering, so gave it some more water last night - no difference as of yet!

Any tips on adapting to an LED, hot/dry environment would be appreciated. Space is tight, in a 60x60x140cm tent which might be why heat is quite extreme.

I'm using coco which I know is meant to be impossible to overwater, but somehow I think I've managed it with less than 200ml of water per plant!

Question is, should I soldier on with these girls, or would it be worthwhile to pull em out and start again with a more stable environment and proper watering/feeding/wet/dry cycle?

Another thing may be worth mentioning - when sticking my finger in the coco to see how dry it is, I think I may have touched/moved/damaged some roots in the process as it's quite hard to tell the difference between a root and coco fiber when you're stoned! Would this also be a reason for stunted growth? Nothing too bad but worth mentioning.

Cheers

Looks like lighting hight ,I have and love my ufo less than 12"seems on point.great for seedlings,clones.finnished first grow nicely .
 
I'd give em more time. I'm not a coco guy but to me they look like they'll make it. The leaves look like the watering helped or maybe it was the feed. The pics I saw before they definitely looked hungry. Now that you got everything stable see how they do. If you're on a time table crack a new one or two just in case they don't pull through
 
Thanks @stepside you've been great so far, much appreciated. I'll give em another week and do my best to get them back on track, and review the situation next week. Haven't got the space to crack another two seeds as the tent is pretty jammed already but I'm in no rush for anything so it's all good! Hopefully everything will be okay, fingers crossed
 
coco.i thought coco had 0 nutes so even a light feeding is needed with every watering.i mean never just water allways feed ? dosnt coco like to be flooded every day ? 200ml over a fortnight ? does coco not do some weird ph thing when it dries out ? sorry if I ask more questions than op,but I think I coco person should really have a look here.no ? :pighug:
