New Grower First time grow.

[420Forever]

Well it looks like a waiting game now. Thank you to everyone that has helped out. I will try waiting it out for a while and see what happens. Probably start looking for new seeds. I’m in Michigan. Any recommendations on where to order seeds from?

a couple good onez that are us based & take cc'z are wicked pissah, new420guy & hella dank and fear not, we'll wait it out with ya ppp

I'm in the States and have only bought seeds from Oregon Elite Seeds. They were good.

I stunted one of mine on my current grow. Soil didn't hold water in one pot so seedling stalled on growth. I had to water the whole pot and let the runoff soak in. So, I understand the waiting game. She finally started growing but is half the size as the other one at the same age. Nothing to do now but grow her out and see.

if ya flushed a while ago,the pot is probably still heavy with water (heavy...i pick up pot and gauge weight as when to water) a transplant will probably do more harm than good.
first week 10 days most happens under the soil.give em a few more days and flash us another pic
good luck n keep er lit

For reference. This girl popped her head up on the 13th. Your girls are a few days behind. They pop up... kinda sit there for a bit after getting their first leaves out, roots build, and then a takeoff. My girls that are 1 week (ok 9 days) older are much larger. (1 gallon pots)

Take all advice with a grain of salt and do what makes the most sense.. The most logical sense. Everything you're feeling/experiencing is because this is all new to you. I personally don't cull or kill off plants.. How can you learn what the problems are and how to fix them, if you kill off the seedlings with issues? You need as much experience as you can get at this stage.

"Flushing" water only soil does pretty much nothing.. You can't "flush" nutes out of organic soil. The nutrients are still in the form of organic material. The purpose of "flushing" is to correct ph issues and get rid of excess salt build up caused by months of using bottled nutes. Neither should be an issue with water only soils.

You will want to only water the base of the seedling until the leaves have reached the sides of the pot. Otherwise you risk overwatering.

You are seeing slow growth because the seedlings are in 3 gallon pots. Once the roots have hit the bottom of the pot (about the same time the leaves reach the edges of the pot) you will start seeing the daily or rapid growth. All its doing right now is building a root zone or foundation. At this stage you should be seeing a new set of leaves every 7 days or so. So at two weeks above soil, the seedlings should be starting their 2nd set of leaves.

P.s.. Rule 14 of growing your own... "Master your patience".. It's a must, lol. It will save you countless hours of worry.

My verdict? The seedling without true leaves may not make it.. But it may! Who knows, lol! The one with tip burn should be fine.. It's just more sensitive than the others and should grow out of it.. I don't think you need to make any changes or do anything specific at this point! Your soil is not to hot for autos.. (That's kind of a myth from when autos were still new) if it were, all four seedling would have tip burn.

I hope everyone's answers have helped to ease your mind a bit! I think your plants are fine so far, (except for the one without leaves) and I think you are doing fine so far! Deeeeeeeeepp breath innnnnnnn... Now exxxxxhhhaaallle! Lol. You got this!

From the pics posted in the other thread he posted, the other plants did appear to have some tip burn. To me anyway. https://www.autoflower.org/threads/please-help.74364/

But maybe not.

So far, based on what he's said in posts and what's been written, it seems to be only one seedling with tip burn. I think that photo of the tip burn has just been posted multiple times. I was confused for a while myself! But on one of the most recent post he made in here, it shows all four seedlings.. The other two look perfectly fine, and he stated that they were both doing ok and showing no issues. He did mention that all 4 have seemed to slow down in growth. That's the only issue that all 4 seedlings share.

Again thank you everyone!!!! I honestly never had any intentions of growing until all the sudden a canuks seeds video showed up on my YouTube. I had never even heard of an auto flower. Looked unbelievably easy and said I’m doing it!!! I mean yeah bean in dirt.... sounds pretty easy. I’ve been pulling what little hair I have out since these went in the dirt. Worrying if I did it right or wrong or to much water and how much light and height of light........ Then the one comes up and never gets its leafs and the next has tip burn. I honestly thought about just giving up on it and keep buying it. You guys have honestly calmed my mind a lot. And really even if non of these autos work out I am confident I can make it work with everyone’s help the next go around. I’m not going to give up on these though. Actually just got a chance to check on them again and I honestly the 3 are looking good. The 2 without issues seems to be a little bigger and really the color of all 4, even the one with no leafs, to me is looking better.

Now I guess onto the next question/concern. What about my light? Now going into this I honestly never expected my bag seeds to make it. But they have and seem to be doing pretty good so I’d like to keep them around. Now I know I don’t have enough light for all 8. Do I have enough for the 4 autos? What would be a decent somewhat cheap additional light? If I didn’t post what I have, it’s a Phlizon 1000watt led with 2 crew cobs.

Imho you’ll need about 30 watts per square foot of Cree cob to flower but you could get by with 20 if you don’t mind a little fluffier bud. Maybe even 15. Actual watts from the wall. Not sure what other current draws your light has (fan) or what the efficiency of the driver is. So that’s just a wild guess. A mean well driven passive cooled Cree in my tent makes for some very happy plants at those numbers.
