Hi all.
I'm having an issue very early into my first grow. Here are some details.
Mars eco 49 300w led. Tent in the attic only big enough for one pot. One fan for air circulation. No carbon filter. Attic is about 12c at nighttime. Warmer during the day. 20 hours of light. Everything was going ok till about 2 days ago.
Germinated 29 April. Planted 30th directly into finished pot. I've been letting the soil completely dry out before watering. But yesterday the leaves looked wilting. Healthy but wilted so I decided to water. The leaves never picked back up after the water and growth seems very slow to me. Any advice? I can't do anything else as I've just watered. No nutes added. And it just doesn't seem to be growing at all. Today is the, 9th of may so I feel like it should be bigger than this. It's called "quick one" by royal Queen seeds. Doesn't seem quick to me at all.
Thanks guys and gals. [emoji106]

Here it is. A week old. Tiny and droopy leaves.

Did you manage to fix this? I'm virtually running the exact same setup. The only difference being I'm using a viparspectra 350w.

On my first attempt mine was wilting like that after about 9 days and it seemed to stop growing after that. I pulled it and started again.

This time it grew bigger but the leafs began wilting again. I heated the tent up to over 30 degrees Celsius and continue to keep it over 20 almost all the time and it has fixed the problem of wilting leaves but growth has began to slow right down again and I'm not sure why.

Do you Ph test your water? I'm a total noob but if your not over or under watering, I'd say it would have to be Ph issue or an issue with the cold.

54 degrees is too cold. What is your humidity level at? Seedlings prefer humidity. What growing media are you using? How far is your light from the seedling?

I fixed it. It was too cold up there. So I wrapped the tent in a duvet until it warmed up a few degrees. Now she's growing still small but it has grown. Third node is growing now.

I put a cup of water into the tent. Lights are currently 18 inches above seedling. Will lower it when I think she can take it.

canna slows down and stops growing at 17c and lower :watering: sorry i dont know the F for that :shrug:
if ya have a spare pot with some dry soil in it,is an good gauge of weight/when to water again :thumbsup:

I think it was too cold. Managed to warm the tent up a few degrees. I'm using soil. This pic is 2 weeks in. At least she's growing.

Thanks Arthur. How close do you think I should place the lights. Mars eco 49 300w says 18" to 24" veg. 12" flowering. I'm just wondering cause the lights may keep it warm
