First grow Special kush #1 / white widow grow journal

OOHH! I see what you mean now. I was commenting on the wrong plant. My bad. If the leaves that are curling down are the 1st set of true leaves, then there's a problem. She's either dehydrating, heat stress, hungry or all the above. Are the nutes hitting the roots at the bottom of the rockwool cube? Never want the bottom of the rockwool to dry up. How high do you have those hps lights above her? What if you turned down the % of the ballasts?

I noticed some growth betweenness the nodes on SK#1.1 first noticeable spaceing between nodes since 2nd node came in . ( that’s exciting to me sry )

more importantly this is what I was talking about when I said the WW seedling looked a little funny ( pic below )

[DankwingDuck]

Yeah I seen one at homedepot for 23$ I’m going to pick it up next time in over there.

[DankwingDuck]

But in general they looked good to me I had just never had those leaves curl like that before and I know plants will attemp the hide when they are over heated .

[DankwingDuck]

The one looks a little funny to me I’ll post a close up when my lights come on in an hour .

She's looking good so far. I wouldn't worry too much about the cotyledons curling up. It's perfectly natural for that to happen. I'd keep my eyes more on the set of leaves above those. The 1st and 2nd set of true leaves don't seem to be showing any signs of heat stress. They're looking very nice actually. Just as long as you keep the hps lights at a safe distance, she'll be fine. If you notice any small signs of heat stress, move her further away from the lights quickly.

Those 2 foot, 24W T5 fixtures aren't really that expensive and are great in the early veg stage. Just one of those can be enough light for 1 - 2 weeks from the moment they sprout. I believe they run for about $30. I always use one to place over my humidity dome and also after I transplant her into her final bucket. After which she's moved into the main lights. A while back someone gave me another 2' T5 as a gift, so I built a little stand for them. For the 1st weeks after she sprouts I use one bulb. 2nd week I turn the 2nd bulb on. 3rd week she goes under the main lights.

Here's a pic of that very setup back when my Ww was just a baby.

I’m for sure going to have to get a t5 . Just got to wait for paycheck . < the struggle >

[DankwingDuck]

My electric bill isn’t a concern for me right now as long as it won’t effect the plants in the long run

[Chefbjy]

Some of the t5 grow lights aren't very expensive either and you would get better results from it. But just throwing it out there. You can run what you want it's your electric bill lol. Just trying to save you time and money. I wish I knew about lights when I did my first grow.

[Chefbjy]

I didn't say it was effecting them negatively. And I need new glasses lol. I just know from experience they would do better under the cfls/leds. Hydro cuts veg time and you would only have to use them for the first week or 2. You can check out how fast my seedling took off, I'm in soil and had to put it in the final pot in just 3 weeks. Now it has its own light with seedlings under 1000w hps and those seedlings aren't growing nearly as fast. Just want to get you into the grow quickly but you can leave them they'll be fine. https://forum.growweedeasy.com/forum...ag-seeds/page6

[DankwingDuck]

I posted the veg to show that the light isn’t effecting them negatively

[DankwingDuck]

All of the other seedlings sprouted will get transplanted tomorrow . I planted 3-4 of each veg see and then I pick the nicest that grows and will clip the rest at the lowest point of the stem . Only the rockwool is marijuana everything else is sunflowers tomatoes cucumbers hot peppers 🌶 lettuce and Asparagus.

[Chefbjy]

You have multiple seedlings in a few of those rooters? They are going to fight for space and kill each other. Only one will make it out alive. That will cause problems. Seperate them carefully if you can. Still think they'd do better under some clip lights and cfls/leds.

[DankwingDuck]

I’m goign To assume it is the plants trying to hide from the light because it is to bright . And will look into getting a less intense light in the near future

[DankwingDuck]

I posted the picture of my full dome because A: I didn’t know if having them in with other plants would cause an issue ( common sense tells me no ) and B: to show that my other plants are having no issues with the amount of light . So if anyone has any ideas as to the curling of the seed leaves , I would welcome the input .
