Hey guys
Day 26 now and have a problem! Have seen practically no growth in the last few days. They reacted very well to the lst and straight after they grew into it nicely. I continued lst daily and they righted themselves almost immediately, but have not continued to grow.
There’s two things that I can think of that may be the cause...
1. Too much continual lst has shocked them and they’ve slowed down.
2. The light feed I gave them was a mistake. They were showing very light signs of n tox before the feed and still display symptoms now. It had been three weeks since sprouting without any nutes apart from rhizo so felt it was time. This soil seems so damn hot! Wondering whether I should of pre-watered to run off to tame it.
Here’s a chronological timeline of pics from the last few days. Also to note, the first set of leaves after the cotyledons are yellowing.
Pre-lst day 22
day 23
day 24
day 25
day 26
I don’t think this is a ph issue, but I’ve got a soil probe arriving in the next few days just to check. It could be lock out, but damn, the feed I gave them was like 0.2ec and they were growing seemingly fast.
They will be dry in another day, so thinking I give them somewhat of a mini flush. Maybe 2-3 litres each of plain water so at least they get some run off. I will also hold off on any more lst, probably give them a fair few days after they’ve recovered and growth resumes.
All and any thoughts much appreciated!
