Indoor Nice Option's Garden of Intergalactic Delights

[NiceOption]

NYCD has a little friend in the pot!

Yeah I don't know how or why that's happened... Probably not a great sign.

These are what I use but I shopped around and found them much cheaper as they are sold by several vendors. The controller will monitor temps and humidity and uses an app to interface. It can be hard wired to control a device as well. Through the app, I use it to control the smart plug based on a temperature range to cycle my oil heater (it’s not a digital heater). It’s capable of wirelessly controlling a pile of smart devices. The directions for programming suck ass but after playing around with it, it’s fairly simple.

Wow! The future has arrived! Definitely something to look at down the line. Thanks for the tip!

SOS!

Anyone got any idea wtf is going on with this seedling?

Little brown spots appearing on both leaves. Happened very quickly.

Pretty pissed off to be getting issues this early.

Also there appears to be something else growing in the coco as eagle eyed @Froot n Fuel pointed out. The coco had been sat there a while but it was sealed.

Should I be too concerned about either? Maybe I'll just pop another seed and give it another go. Zkittles is absolutely fine and looking better for the increased temps.

I see some earlier stage of the brown spots on your pic day 6... Anyway hope to read some advice.
So ...stupid reply in fact, but i am curious too. A ̈leafreader will jump in soon, no doubt.

The only thing i can find that looks similar is a cal def but that seems unlikely this early in her life. All I can think is an embarrassing case of overwatering.

I think I might need to call in @Waira and @Mañ'O'Green for some advice on the above seedling...

Any ideas guys? They've only had PHd water

Zkittles is still fine? it’s just the NYCD with the spots?

I suck at the seedling stage. It seems if I can get them relatively unscathed to about day 20 they do alright. But shit happens!

I was thinking cal as well but I always think cal.

:smoking:...so, this is straight coco? I need to ask mate, if you have done your homework on this peculiar medium?... it cannot be treated like true soil, or even peat based soilless, there are a lot of do's and don't's, different from any other medium... Most of this relates to coco's odd CEC properties (cation exchange capacity), involving Ca and to a lesser extent, Mg,... Most folks run it with a hydro-like feed regime, fairly weak solution, feed often or even constantly (drip system), with 15-20%+ run-off each time,... measure pH and TDS/EC going in and especially going out to make sure the nute salt load doesn't build up..... coco breathes/drains much better than other such mediums, so overwatering is more generally more difficult,.... Point is, if you don't run coco properly, troubles will visit sooner or later!
Water is also very important, just like hydro... what's your source, pH and ppm's? if it's hard tap, you're already in trouble,... coco needs to run lower pH than soil, around 6.0, and is more bitchy about nute availability.... hard water drives pH up, screws with the CEC, and if you have to bomb the water/nute solution with pH adjusters, you're loading up the net ppm's with that crap too,....
Seeding trouble often comes down to the medium's pH, the water quality, if the medium is fresh or recycled, things like this... bad batches happen too.... coco needs a lengthy rinse and aging process initially by the makers, then extensive buffering treatment to purge the excess native K and Na content... This sets the proper CEC balance in good quality coco so it's ready to use...
That pot has some stuff that looks like hard water mineral deposits along the inside edges, was that there before you planted? Hard water and coco are not friends!
Color looks pale, but might be the lights (COB's?)... spotting, not sure actually,.. almost looks like an infection,... do you use inoculants? On occasion, certain types can get into the leaf by the stomata on lowest leaves, and cause this type of symptom,.... Defc. this early is unlikely, but coco is barren so feeds must start within a week or less;some folks use a very dilute feed before they plant, which is fine, even wise,....
.....in-pot pH is also critical, and in this case necessary to rule other things out,... water is tightly linked to this, so get me the info requested,....

Zkittles is happy as Larry!

This early though!? Def seems very unlikely at this stage.
