My seedlings were put in rapid root on 1May. I didn't wash my Coco bricks as well as I should have but found that out too late. At any rate the Coco was flushed. PH and ppm were then in the ball park, 6.0 and under 400ppm.

The seedlings seemed to respond well but they are only about 3" tall, and skinny but are of great color.

Should I just toss them and start again?
 
I would say let them go especially if they have responded well. I just planted two Dp auto blueberry and when they popped they looked like they would never take off but they are off and on their way. I would give them another week and if they are not making quick progress then go from there before starting over. I bet they catch up if you let them continue just make sure everything is on point or as much as possible. If they have good color and don't look sick then they should be good to go. You can also post a pic to give everyone an idea , good luck it will be interesting to see how they progress .

Thirteen days out of the soil. Three inches tall. Very skinny stem. Good color. Soil 65°. 77°air 74% humidity.

Only reason I asked is because they seem much smaller than the pics of others I've seen at about this same age.

New to the forum so I thought I would use this as an opportunity to post a pic. I'll stick with it, not expect a lb. Of giant buds and use as a valuable learning experience I suppose.

Again,
Thanks Ripped

I agree with Ripped, and photos can be misleading, too.

This is a seed I started on 04/24, just to give you an idea of what to expect.

As you can probably tell, she dragged her little feet for a while and all of a sudden, she started growing like crazy a couple of days ago.

I hope this helps! :)

Hummm......they are behind the 8 ball for sure. Looking at the picture it seems you are using LED's ...correct? Either way what is your lighting? I assume you are under 24/0 or at least 20/4. I have never done a coco grow myself so I don't have any real life experience with it just a number of soil grows and now on my third DWC grow. Here are a couple of pictures. The first is my Mephisto Grape Crinkle at day 13 and the second picture is from yesterday. I wish you all the best with your grow.

Personally I'd kill those and start over. They are stunted badly already and it's still early. You can easily start over and not only not lose much time but save tons of time at the end of the grow when you end up with 15 grams. It's not worth the nutes and the waste of time. Unless you are just in it for the experience. If yield matters at all for you then cut your losses. I say this as someone who has messed up a lot of coco grows from not washing/charging correctly.
 
Yes lighting is CLW 220 at 24". 20/4. I have a hydrogalaxy 600 and kessil but wasn't sure about going full pop on light just yet. I checked them this am and a couple tips are starting to lighten up in color, looks like it's going yellow but only very slightly for now.

If HotBunz's pics are the 13 day norm I am probably way behind the 8 ball. I better go read up on washing and charging Coco. Just in case I pull the plug.
 
Just a quick update. Plants seemed to have overcome any issues. Still stunted by what looks like 7-10 days but they are responding. thanks again. This is at 30 days from putting seed in cube.
