Should I give up on my Auto WWxBB or wait?

[elcoloan]

What would yo do? Start a new seed (I only keep 1 plants at a time) or let this one ride out?

I have a Female Seeds Auto WWxBB in coco-coir and I'm new with autos so not sure if due to her progress so far I should start a new one... it's 19 days since the seed was put to soak. She´s under 24/0 of QB style light (60 Watts), about 30 inches from it. In the tent it's been 22-26C all the time for the last week with RH swinging from 50-70%.

Last Tuesday night (feb 4th) I transplanted it from plastic cup (coco+perlite) into the 2.2 gal autopot pot (mostly coco) but messed up badly and the seedling's tap root and a couple other roots ended up cut at the ends. It stunted and gained an overall light green tone, but it seems to have recovered in the past 2 days.

I've been doing one daily watering for the last week using 0.4-0.5 EC of MegaCrop1 + 0.1-0.2 EC of CalMag Pro, pH mostly at 6.0-6.4, few times 5.8.

Some pics from this morning:

PS. Sorry mods, not sure if this would have been better posted in the infirmary, do move if necessary. Thanks.

If ur in coco 5.8 5.9 ph is wat I recommend and run and 6.4 to 6.5 is wat I run if it's any kind of mix coco or peat or both it seems like it need n but seems like ec is good. Sorry if I missed it but wat medium are you using.

If it's recovered a bit over the past few days, I'd hang on to it.

sorry i forgot to mention, i'm using mostly coco... 1/2 inch of perlite at the botom, and bits of perlite in the coco.

Ya bud in coco I don't go above 6.0ph ever unless I'm using super soil but otherwise the plant can't uptake n as well they say 5.8 to 6ph is best and in flower 6.0 to 6.2ph depending on how the plant it's self is reacting as every plant is different in how it reacts to nutes ect also bump up temps 80 to 85 degrees is best for seedling how long/many times have I fed any run off did u test run off to see if she it eating or not?

I'd give it a few more days, and keep it if growth is good.
Next time try RapidRooters.

With coco in autopots I normally germ in the pot. After seed has soaked for 24hrs place in prewatered coco pot 1.5L light nute solution, after seed has sprouted and up for 5 days I give 500mls of light nute solution, at day 10 I give 750mls to 1L of light nute solution, day 15 I give 1L, then by day 20 I'm ready to turn on the res.

If your giving a daily feeding think your not letting the roots start to search for feed

Also if you have option to always keep ur mistakes to learn from and sometimes they will even surprise you. Imho it's the single best way to really learn even more when in coco bc of how fast you can see results from corrections.

Thanks for the all the input. I have checked the little runoff's EC several times and it's comes out at 70-80 ppms. These past few days I've fertigated about 250 ml daily with 0.724 EC / 365 ppm ( 65ppm tap water, 229 MC1 + 67 ppm CMP), ph 6.0. Today she got droopy after watering, so maybe medium is too moist... I plan to reduce watering frequency to let coco dry out a bit more to let her search for feed.

This is her today (3 days after last pictures). Would this be considered good growth?

 

[elcoloan]

So... I won't give up on her. This is what she looks like today:

I'm not expecting high yields from her, so I have some veggin clones that I will put into flowering in another space soon to compensate the yield of this auto.
