All my others look fine. They are in 3 gal containers. Happy Frog and Ocean Forest mix. A HF core. Just giving them purified 6.5 ph water for now.

Here's the Fast & Vast. Should I be concerned?

Hi Shred, I think your soil mix was a little too hot to germ seeds. I would run a good bit of plain water through right around the seedlings to try and lower nute levels. For auto's you really want to soil with no added nutes for the first few weeks. You can do this by putting plain soil in the center of the pot where you plant the seed or seedling. That way they can slowly grow into the stronger soil
 
Uh oh, glad you caught it early! Agreed with oldster, soils probably too hot. Probably just some flushing with clean water. It might get worse for a day or two then start growing out of it :)
 
The soil is damp already. Do I run the risk of overwatering this newborn? I'm also wondering why the oters are all doing real good then considering it's the same mix. And also remember I made the core soil straight HF if that matters.
on future grows would a Light Warrior core be better? I assume so.


In addition... could these spots be from water drop burn? I don't think I got it wet but maybe I did.
 
Auto's really vary in how nute sensitive they are so it is not unusual to see some show symptoms while others don't even if they are all the same strain.

The problem with autos is that anything that sets them back can have long term effect since they have such a short life. That is why it is always better to start them in nute free soil and not give them any nutes in their water for the first 2 to 3 weeks and then only at 1/4 strength at most

Thank you. This is my first auto grow. I'll be more careful next time.
 
Did you happen to get a few drips of water on it? Drops can act as a magnifying glass and cause a small burn happened to me. Nothing to fret about though.
